    I’m sorry for not having something to contribute here but major annoyances took up most of the day.

      It’s really ironic that public transit service is reduced on holidays when more people are likely to need it. It’s especially grievous for people that still have to get to work… it speaks a lot to how many city councils treat public transit, as if it wasn’t one of the few things that keeps a city going.

        There may be an increase in irregular riders, but the regular ridership is down by a lot. Many people choose to stay home for the holidays or stay in their neighborhoods.

    Every single time I sat down from doing a chore someone sought my attention. I did not experience a moment of peace. So that, I reckon.

    I was making a table and put some wood glue between joints and clamped them down. One of the clamps I have ended up being slightly too short and couldn’t be used.

    I had to run to the store and buy some new clamps and by the time I got through the mess and traffic, the glue had already mostly set up, and now one of the table legs is just slightly off. Not enough to be noticeable unless you’re looking for it, but I know of it, and that’s enough to annoy me.

    Waiting in a waiting room and saw a mom, dad, and three children. one was a fresh newborn, and the middle child a toddler, eldest about ten sat down and colored.

    This three year old had the phone right in her face with baby shark playing, 45 mins of it. pacifier hanging out her mouth, and sucked into the screen. She cry screamed when mom took the phne from her to use it for a minute.

    Littles dont need screens like this, its damaging to their growth,. This was a childrens mental health waiting room, tons of space and things put out for kids specifically.

    I just wanted to read my book while I waited for my son. Instead all I could think about was how lazy that parenting is. Why have kids if youre just gonna pop a pacifier in its mouth and shove content in their face. I wanted to congratulate mom on the newborn, fresh babies are wild to see, but she and her husband were sucked into husbands phone too. She called to him at one point too, point blank called to him and said, “hey baby daddy”, which was so wierd.

    I wanted to have more sausages in my lentil stew but we don’t have any sausages at the moment. So I had to accept the amount of sausages that were already in the can.

    I work from home on Monday and Friday, and we have two elderly dogs that have bladder control issues that sleep in kennels. The unspoken rule is the first one up lets them out, and the last to bed puts them up.

    My wife leaves around 7:30, and I assumed she let them out before she left.

    I worked from bed until 9, when I discovered that she had not actually let them out.

    My dentist texted me to say my appointment tomorrow is canceled and I need to call to reschedule.

    Took me calling 9 times to get a human. Because if it goes to hold music, it then just shunts you to their ‘ai’ that can “reschedule, make appointments, cancel appointments” but it FUCKING CAN’T

    What it does instead is fuck up several times in a row before giving up and sending a note to the desk.

    Which doesn’t get seen until like two days later.

    So you hang up the second you hear the ‘ai’ assistant talk and call back until someone picks up during the ringing phase.

    I’m sure this isn’t making the front desks job miserable, not at all! Blegh.

    I tired making bread with caramelized onions on and in it, and left the onion too “wet” so I was fighting with the dough constantly having openings pop up and onion spill out… I apparently didn’t even use enough onion because after I brought it to my brother’s house and cut it open I really couldn’t find much onion in there. Still tasted decent though.
