Terminalcoffee discussion

I thought we should have a new thread in honor of this wonderfully amusing website ( www.fmylife.com) which entertains at the expense of others. :)

Intro reads:

Fmylife.com is a weird and wonderful addition to the web. It’s a collection of everyday anecdotes and stories likely to happen to anyone and everyone, sent to us exclusively by our users, which we then publish on the site. This is a space where you can let it all out and unwind by sharing the little things that screw with your day, and maybe realize that you are not alone in experiencing day to day crap. Posts start with 'Today' and end with 'FML'. The site is meant to be fun to read and can be enjoyed on a daily basis.



So I'll get us started.


I was at work at 7am this morning... on the day I requested off. FML

Yeah, I love that site. Too bad I can't access it at work...

I'm working on a project that requires me to requisition technology that is no longer supported by the vendor, and thus I'll have to re-write my entire project plan. FML.

PS - for us Battlestar Galactica dweebs, there's Frak My Life. Completely filled with inside jokes, but we fans totally get them.

*cackles at Frak My Life!!*

Today...nothing terrible has happened yet but expect it to once boss returns. FML to be?

some of today's posts:

"Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML"

"Today, I was eating a croissant. After eating half of it and about to take another bite, a spider crawled out of one of the holes of flaky deliciousness and descended down a thread of web to the table, where it scuddled away. There was a whole family of them living in there. FML"

"Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML"

"Today, I went to a neon themed party. Standing by the UV light, I looked down and realised my pad was glowing through my tights. FML"




That last one really cracks me up. :)

*makes note - pads glow!* Ahahaha!

Heidi's post regarding the croissant made me toss my half-eaten one. FML :(

Someone else posted those. All I did was copy and paste some from the website.

I have a design document I need to finalize, and MS Word is acting like a c*nt. FML.

Just to be sure, does it mean "fuck my life"?

And that spider story just made me almost vomit.

Yes.

K.

I once almost ate a piece of challah in which one raisin turned out to be a roach.

And I know a songwriter from the Wesley Willis School of Songwriting for the Insane who wrote a song called "There's A Roach in My Bagel". Also "John Waters Stole My Parking Space" and "Peacocks Are Loud." All are performed on auto-harp.

Hahaha OK FML is very good, but Gus you made my day with the Frak My Life link.

Is there really a Wesley Willis School of Songwriting for the Insane?

If not, someone should start one. If not a school, at least a workshop.

Then I would like to nominate you for the most creative comment on GR ever!

:)

Of course there was a Wesley Willis School of Songwriting for the Insane. The only graduate was Wesley Willis.

I used to see that guy everywhere in Chicago. He was one of those "how can he be everywhere at once?" people.

That's because he was busy whuppin' Batman's ass.

Day 9: This canker sore will not die! FML.

Was told by the wiring team that they'd contact IT to finish the job (which is now 7 months in from the request to install 2 computer lines). Over two weeks later not hearing from IT, being told by those I see in the halls, yeah yeah we're going to contact IT to push the project. Contacting the PM and the PM says no, you go through someone else and have to get parts ordered. Talk to another middle man....needless to say this is complete BS that makes me want to kick kittens. FML.

Kick Kittens?...really?

*chuckles* It shouldn't be taken literally. I overheard someone say that and cracked up since that person ADORES kittens. I <3 'em too. I sit over my coworker's shoulder to peer at his kitten wallpaper and COOOO for hours. Very stress relieving.

But it sure expresses one's anger - so angry you want to kick kittens.


Grabbed a soda from the fridge, walked to laptop and cracked open the pop. PFFTTTT-KERBLOOM! Soda everywhere and on my WHITE lappy. FML.

Nice typing sound affects, I was like, right there with you. Sorry for the mess.
I woke up to dog's, mud and hair all over my clean,"Ispent hours cleaning yesterday" kitchen. fml (and somebody elses)

Just randomly glancing over #24 and the word "soda" jumped out at me and I had a mad craving for some Diet Grapico.

*off to Winn-Dixie*

Just stay in school forever, that's my plan.

Truer words have never been spoken!

Mindy wrote: "Just stay in school forever, that's my plan."

I wish I had thought of that plan a long time ago, seems pretty undoable now - maybe once the kids leave!

A random customer at a place where I bartended and cocktailed told me a LONG time ago (after discovering w/the same surprise most of them did, "Wow, you're really smart.") that there really is no good reason not to take at least one class a semester. And he was right. (Though I had several bad reasons that kept me out of school a few more years after that.) And now w/online education, it's even more true.

Wow, now you've thrown down the gauntlet haven't you.

Man, there's a lot of gauntlet throwing around here lately. Have you guys been touring Renaissance Faires this summer?

Just call me the Court Jester. But seriously I should look into a class for the fall, or this late probably the spring.

Jim is also the best Welcomer ever, by the way. He always remembers to welcome people to TC. Thanks, Jimmy. I am proud to share a state with you.

I am thinking of taking a course this year, I am getting into writting again, but my skills are lacking to say the least.

Wisconsin the Welcoming state. Maybe that should be the new state logo.

It's worth a check to see if it's not too late to register for the fall. It's not too late at several of the schools here.

Yeah, maybe I can take an online course from my alma mater. They have a pretty good program. Something to do tomorrow.

Yea, I wonder if the grant money is gone...when you use online classes, do you have to go by a schedule?

Well, if you're talking about federal financial aid $$$ (which you use FAFSA to register for), I just helped a former client do hers yesterday and it went through fine.

I've had a few online classes and one of the best things about them was the flexibility. Occasionally some professors will assign class chats at specific times, but mostly you check into the class on your own schedule.

Yeah, I believe that you work around your own schedule, but it all has to be done by end of semester.

I would like to take art classes though which would require actually going to the campus.

Do it Jim! DO IT!

Do it!
Do it!
Do it!

(I love peer pressure.)

Do it, Jim! Think of all the hot sorority chicks you'll get to...

Never mind.

...use as nude models for your art.

I was thinking ....get me a beer.

If my daughter wasn't that age I would probably like your idea better Mindy.

Jim!!! :)

Oh yeah.

If Demi is with Ashton, then Jim can have awesome fun with sorority chick nude models.

Boss broke file cabinet's lock b/c he thought I stored keys in them, then blamed me for the whole incident. Now I have to order a new file cabinet. FML.
