Silly design choices.

When my phone rings, the green accept button is on the left, the red don't accept button on the right.

However, if you make a call using whatsapp's call service, the buttons are reversed. So someone just thought I pushed their call away while I was trying to accept it.

I picked up Fire Emblem Fates again, just because I miss the pairing mechanic so much, and it upset me that the 'good' part of the game is so small. After Conquest chapter 10, which is a chapter that's so honest and pure in design, and then after that it's a straight nosedive into irritating gimmicks and bullshit. I hadn't touched the game in years, and for good reason, and that reason was that the game is such a crushing disappointment. It just upsets me to see so much wasted potential.

As for my own mildly upset, I discovered several slats on one of my window blinds to be missing. I don't know when it happened, except it had to have been very recently. Possibly today. And I discovered this while trying to adjust the slats to deflect a wall of horizontal rain hitting my window. Annoyingly, they are at "privacy" height, which is also the height where a lot of my things, mousepad in particular, got wet. I would be more angry, but I looked up and found out that it's easy enough to fix, I just have to buy new slats since this window blind doesn't have spares.

So it turns out that several of the slats were just stuck together. *facepalm*

Basically all the post-original-DS Fire Emblems have broken my icy heart one way or another. Awakening hurt the most with good reviews and then dumb spawn-and-attack tactics, plus most of the huge cast are insufferable.

Pro-tip: when smashing a rock with a sledgehammer, take off any rings and wear gloves to prevent minor but otherwise uncomfortable injuries to your hands.

Also, gross there are bugs in my rock.

Just in general, gloves when using tools is a good idea if you want to reduce the chance of some kind of hand related annoyance happening.

I used to be kinda' lackadaisical about it, and then going a little too hard with a rake ended up causing the right kind of damage to get a wart to settle in to one of my thumbs. It took multiple doctor trips and like a fucking year to get rid of that thing. Ever since: Gloves. Every time.

Every time I convince myself I don't need gloves I get a glass shard or a wood splinter stuck in my hand that takes ages (or much digging with a knife and tweezers) to remove. Gloves are worth it, despite whatever we may choose to believe is optional

I even put on safety glasses to protect me peepers (and my regular glasses).

I swear, every goddamn time I take a nap I wake up in pain or otherwise feeling worse. They're so tempting, and often the worst of it's after my body's really insistent that a nap would be an incredibly good idea, but, like. Every goddamn time. Usually, today too, it's a headache from hell.

I'm getting plenty of water so it's extremely unlikely to be dehydration, so, just. I wish I could make it stop, or at least finally have it internalize that no matter how attractive that nap is looking, it's just pain and it's going to make things worse so don't do it. Fucking ow.

I've noticed if I nap in jeans or a shirt, I'll wake up sweating to death.



Art manager has been on vacation for a week, so I'm the only one who knows how the system works. I'll know how well I did tomorrow. But there's been more than a few problems, like clients sending in shitty jpgs or asking for some major edits of their art. Just today I had to wait a half-hour downloading an Adobe Illustrator file, just to find out it's basically blank because the client didn't include the image file in the zip.
