1. I just literally spent nine days walking all 45 dogs. I don't know if it's just because there's been snow on the ground and it's storing up all the delicious smells or what, or because some people never shoveled their sidewalks, so we're walking single file and I'm stuck behind them, but for whatever reason, they were stopping every few steps and inspecting everything in minute detail. By the time we got to the last couple blocks, I was basically just narrating the entire walk at full volume, OH GOOD GRIEF JUST MOOOOOVE. GOOOO. GO GO GO GO GO. WALK. KEEP WALKING. GO.
2. I have been waiting really hard for a really long time for the Raspberry Pi to go on sale so I can get one as soon as they come out, and they keep moving the date back. Last I heard, it was still supposed to be yesterday, but it didn't happen yesterday. OH GOOD GRIEF JUST MOOOOOVE. GOOOO. GO GO GO GO GO.
And don't you guys go copy me and buy them before I can get one!
I am trying to understand the mechanics of walking 45 dogs at the same time. Did you design some sort of mechanism to prevent them from pulling you around?

You mean you have never licked it out with your tongue after spooning?
No wonder you spend weekends alone. . . .

I shall get mine sooner as I live nearer to the sellers. Plus I have already constructed a case for it, out of Lego!
Yeah, thanks for crashing both sites, buttmonster.
But really, though, it's awesome the demand beat the crap out of two different retailers. One's already confirmed sold out, and the other is just annihilated, so I think I'm going to bed. I'll get one in the next round.
I know this is irrational, but it annoys the fuck out of me when guys floss and brush their teeth in the public men's room at work. I suppose everybody should be doing it, but I'm glad they're not. For some reason, while I'm resigned to all manner of stench and excretory horrors taking place in there, people spewing their slobbery, toothpaste-laden effluent in there just squicks me right the fuck out.

I had to leave home early, on business, so I missed placing my order in the tiny window of opportunity before they all sold out and the websites were overwhelmed. Now I'll have to wait for a later batch too.
I'm away in hotels now for a couple of days, so no can do yet. But I just copied the design from this blog
Mine has a few white pieces where she has yellow though, as I didn't have enough of the yellow lego pieces. In any case, it may need hacking a little to suit the connectors, once I have a Pi to fit inside.
OK, now that I've looked at the thing. I may be onboard for the next iteration of the Pi.
Cool.
Also I am complaining about people who who constantly re-book their appointments. Also when they call after my business hours then call multiple times before my business hours start up because I have not called them back. Business hours! That's when I do business!
I just threw the fucking Gideon Bible in the trash can. I got trivially annoyed by the fact it said Holy Bible. I think I'm gonna make that a thing. Throw yo' Bible in the trash!
Okay but did you really make a Lego case for it already? Because if so, I'm afraid I need to see that.
So, as detailed in another thread, my first Pi Lego case turned out to be a bit of a dud. But now, having obtained the necessary bricks, I've constructed a new case with a removable lid, as designed by Biz.
My second Pi should be arriving shortly, so I shall use the other box I made (from an old servo shipping box) for that now.

Spending my entire day answering the phone and saying, "Yes, we're open." Here's a hint, people, if you're talking to a person instead of a recording saying we're closed, then we're open.

Trivial thing that annoys me, the second:
Summers. Every semester I just about give myself mono trying to keep up with work and school and still watch all of my TV shows, just to have them go on hiatus for three damn months as soon as I have way too much time on my hands and I'm bored out of my damn mind.
