I was replacing a guy's heaters, he asked me to take my boots off.  His carpet was quite filthy.  Then I stepped on a nail...  It was a superficial puncture, so I was only mildly upset.  Reflexes ftw!

Good lord. Guess the boots went back on after eh?
I've stepped on broken glass once when I stepped out and someone had smashed a bottle on my doorstep without being polite enough to clear it up. Another time a nail. Never a fun time, but it's not so bad as long as it doesn't run its way through your foot or hit anything too solid/nervy

I didn't want to be rude, and since my brief exclamation went un-noticed, I just kept the boots off.  Broken glass would probably be more painful.  I've only stepped on nails, and kicked hedge clippers so far.

I would have given him shit or at least say something about it. But yeesh yeah I know the feeling.

GDQ is finished for another six months and the guy who started it all has left the company, though given what he built (a company hosting events that raise millions for charity every 6 months or so) he probably deserves a break.

Possible tip: keep a blanket/piece of tarp that you can bring at times like these and put on the ground.

Got a vegan pizza by accident.

Doesn't seem to be such a thing as good vegan cheese. It's always slimy and either tasteless or unpleasant.

A pair of slippers kept the truck might be in my future.

That's unfortunate... I would rather have just plain crackers than crackers with vegan cheese.  Possibly even cheese-less pizza, though that's getting into breadstick territory.

My Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX savegames are gone...

Old man yells at cloud perchance? Hopefully your local system is fine.

Cherishing my completed save data was something it took forever to stop doing. My ps2 memory cards were destroyed in a fire, and they had literally thousands of hours of progress on them, and it's all gone.  Just gotta love the time we had together, ol ps2.

Ah man, I forgot about the period before integrated hard drives on consoles.

That feeling when you go to make a fairly important (if fortunately not time sensitive) phone call, and realize on getting their answering machine that, oh yeah, it's a major holiday. No one's open and you shouldn't bother folks anyway. Whoops. Bonus points for distinctly thinking on friday you'd take care of it monday.

Like, there's no frustration with the holiday itself (above and beyond folks deserving a day off here and there, mlk day is legit on a lot of levels), just with myself for not remembering it existed... it's fairly normal for me to forget holidays, but it's still kinda' unfortunate.

You know what's not fun? Having a doctor lube up their finger with cold jelly and bung it where the sun don't shine to make sure that you don't have arse cancer.

I don't, for the record. Doesn't make the experience any more fun.

If it helps, I sincerely doubt the doctor was having a good time either.
