I really want to punch my warehouse manager in the face right now. First, he's a self-righteous asshole. Second, we got a new guy today, who's Russian, and the manager starts cracking shit about him being Russian. Sure he was just trying to do it in a friendly manner, but it's still pretty offensive, whether the guy showed it or not. Then he started making jokes about how short the new guy was(he's shorter than the manager, and the manager was until today the shortest guy in the place). Next, I was loading folding chairs in to a large box(which for some reason we call a "gaylord" ???), and he feels he has to coach me on every little detail of doing it. At one point, he tells me to hold on to it, and right when I put my hand on it, he slams another chair into the stack I was holding up. It missed my hand, but only because I barely pulled it out of the way.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

Just so you're aware, the technical term for a large box on wheels is gaylord. I have no idea why, but it's been like that in every industrial environment I've ever been in (which is a few over a dozen. I was a professional temp for a long time.)

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.

My commute makes me rage. 

5 Miles
7 Stoplights
5 Stop Signs
Almost everyone drives 10 miles under the speed limit for no reason.

Can be done in 8 minutes without speeding.  Normally takes 15.  At least 20 minutes of my day wasted every day.

Also ran into one of the inherent disadvantages of motorcycles for the first time today.  Bird took a massive shit on my seat.  Luckily, it was on the back portion, so I wasn't forced to sit on it.

If it were an immediate problem, I would have ran back into the office to get a couple wet paper towels.  Not a big deal.  Just a gross nuisance.

I drank four beers with my friend (two for him two for me) and he insisted on drinking one more beer. I tried to stop him for 20 minutes but he didn't change his mind. I told him if he's going to drink, I'm going to drink too. So we bought 2 beers and started drinking...

Now, 5 AM in the morning. I'm lurking around the internet because my head is spinning so bad I can't fucking sleep

I still have no fucking idea if its my mods crashing the game or the fucking game itself, god damn you Fallout New Vegas. The mod manager is telling me I have no errors, then I check back and it say's I do have error's, I re-install them and it say's other mods that are different from the original ones have errors. I REFUSE TO PLAY FALLOUT NEW VEGAS WITHOUT NEVADA SKIES, OR UI MODS DAMNIT!

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Wow, since this manager is supposed to be Christian or something, isn't it possible to point out his immense stupidity by now?  Which, well, if he really isn't all that Christ-like, then yeah he wouldn't be able to take criticism I guess.  I guess I can't stand seeing you suffer like you do D:

Fixed with what I'd do.

It's just a brand name that became so popular it's just used instead of the devices actual name. Like sellotape, but with wheeled boxes instead of sticky tape stuff. Gaylord was a surname long before it was slang for gay people.

God damnit, Fallout New Vegas keeps crashing. Now I have to go through all of my mods to see if its the mods causing to crash, or just the game itself. I really hate how Bethesda made Obsidian release New Vegas even though it crashes all of the time.
Don't blame them, blame the Gamebryo engine, worst engine ever design for gaming. Come on Bethesda, use id Tech you own it now.
Plastic people and bugs engine, you say? How old is Gamebryo now, anyway? Must be pushing 8 at least now.
