I'm almost out of bacon. And I just realized what bacon I have is actually in the freezer so I CAN'T COOK IT RIGHT NOW.

Realized the only good thing my conscience ever taught me is I'm not *quite* as loathsome as I could be.

Also can't decide what to watch on Netflix. I burned through Archer season 5, so now it's down to Ultimate Spider-Man, Sons of Anarchy, DS9, Doctor Who season 7, Arrow, Adventure Time, or Arrested Development.....not counting movies, of course, of which there are like 200+.

The foam on the cappuccino I bought from Caffe Nero went flat. Stupid incompetent baristas.

Also, they always overdo the foam, so when they sprinkle chocolate on it it just sticks to the bottom of the lid. Lame.

The a key on my keyboard is broken so now I have to ctrl + v any time I need an "a". Which you might notice is quite often.
I found it funny that in your last phrase you DIDN'T use any a's.

1) I want a Wii U and can easily afford it, but I don't have enough room on my desk for another console.

2) Neflix let me down when I found out it actually isn't an all-encompassing library of every anime ever created.

3) When I go to the city, why do I always have to share it with other people? Jeez!

Captain Buzzkill here but a lot of the 'third world' is very concerned about a lot of what we jokingly call first world problems. Funnily enough in places like Africa and India (whether India is third world or not is a debate) a lot of business is conducted by mobile and on mobile websites because of the fact that mobiles require little infrastructure, are fairly corruption proof and require minimal electricity. Thus Africans are likely to be just as pissed off at slow mobile broadband as Brits or Americans, if not more so because it probably hurts their bottom line more.

That aside my genuine first world problem has been that my business uses Panda Antivirus so we got caught up in that issue, good fun.

Does anyone else hate it when you hear a song on a tv show and there's NO information about what the song is?

You type in the lyrics in google, nothing.

you look up the episode on IMDB, Nada.

You use Shazam, Nil.

And it's one of the best songs you heard in a while. And there's nothing you can do to own it, because according to the Internet, it doesn't exist.
Windows Phone is pretty good for that, I tried it at a karaoke night recently and not only did Cortana identify most of the songs, but a good number it got as the karaoke version.

When I complain about things on the internet I get dismissed because I'm not a child starving of thirst in Africa or whatever.

New Bloodborne trailer drops! Cool!

.... There are no subtitles and I can't make out what any of the men in it are saying. Not so cool.


If any nerds wanted to lend me their ears and write down what they're saying, I'd certainly appreciate it.
It's too busy and I can only catch certain words here and there.

EDIT: Never mind, I'll just keep looking for one with subtitles. I crank the volume up and I can catch a bit of what the dudes are saying. Why video game dudes gotta mumble?

I specifically told my job that I wouldn't be available during a specific week well in advance, confirmed that I would be gone closer to the actual week, then got written up because they scheduled me for some shift during the week and I didn't call off. I couldn't check the schedule to tell them I couldn't make that shift because I was gone by the time the schedule went up.


Also, they were 2 weeks late on my first check, and it was about $90 less than I thought it would be.

My only FWP this week was this:
So I was at macy's on a shopping spree when I spotted a MK bag that was on sale. Clearly, I had to buy it. But noooo, when I tried to buy it they told me that if I was from another country it was entirely possible that the credit card people thought it was suspicious that I was spending so much when abroad so they established a limit to my card. I walked out of the macy's without that sweet mk purse / bag / whatever.
Also, I was at NY last weekend and I didn't know if the coffee machine inside my room was for complimentary coffee or if I had to pay for it. At the end if was indeed complimentary (woo)

I had an interview at Google this week, and they didn't give me any free swag.

Friend of mine who interviewed for the same office a few months ago got a god damn beach ball, but nope, I got nothin'.
