My stupid keyboard being a dick at work. I look illiterate.
I traveled 60 miles, in bumper to bumper traffic to see the eclipse at 100%. It took and hour to get out of Omaha, which usually takes about 15 minutes. We got to our destination, where a gravel road turns into a dirt road, and it was 100% cloud covered. As the eclipse began, it started to rain. We got in the car and began driving away from the huge dark cloud above us and found a small patch if blue sky and headed towards it, thinking the clouds might be less dense around it and give us a little view. We never saw the sun, couldn't even tell where the sun should be behind the clouds. At 100% eclipse, I saw a star through that tiny patch of clear sky. The nearby farmstead had Guinea Fowl, that began screaming as it got dark and at totality had taken to the trees to roost and crickets began to chirp. The farmer and his family joined us on the road to watch. It was still pretty awesome and I'm saving my eclipse glasses for 2024. If we are still around, we'll travel to go see it.
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups
and that awesome post leads me to this: don't believe every fool who says your glasses expire. That is an old, outdated warning. If they aren't damaged, if they do not have an expiration date and if you didn't buy them from some shady guy in the Walmart parking lot for $1. you can probably reuse any that are compliant with NASA standards.

I know it's not bed bugs because the last place I stayed in was in March and I am so terrified of them that I take every precaution while traveling and wash everything as soon as I get home. Plus, they aren't known to flourish in the environment I live in. I think it's a random spider that likes to sleep in my bed and gets annoyed with me when I move around. What kind of dumb ass spider bites the sole of a person's foot?

First and foremost, the sound of crinkling plastic wrappers makes me mental. Today however, I'm annoyed that I've had to join two conference calls on my work from home day. The point of working from home is so I don't have to talk to my co-workers. Damn it, now they are invading my one day a week that i pretend to work while actually binge watching tv.

My borderline personality disorder. Some days, I'm all about forgiveness and turning the other cheek. Other days, I wished my husband's slutty cousin would die.
I absolutely hate getting friend requests from fake facebook profiles. I get all excited that maybe someone wants to be my friend only to find out they don't have any friends and just created their profile yesterday. Damn it Leo Jeo. I really wanted to be your friend.

OK, so, I'm going to take this thread's title at face-value.
Dumb things that annoy me:
? When the seatbelt/shoulder harness gets all twisty, and I need to smooth it out again, back through the buckle clip, before I fasten it.
? When they stop making my favorite eyeshadow or lip stick shade.
? My own carelessness.
? When my dear husband farts just as I am looking at him while he is sleeping and am thinking to myself, "Oh, he's so sweet..." ...and then he lets one rip.

...and now I can add:
not knowing why four bullets show up as question marks, while only the last one took.

Maybe I'm too quick, either that or they only target me not my friends. I do go to their profiles to see if I know them but can't remember them. The fake ones always have no friends and a profile that was just created. Apparently I'm a fake friend magnet, not some much a real friend one.
This is kind of annoying, but also kind of good?
My company likes to be really hands on with continued training, stats, and stuff like that. Every week we have our stats emailed to us and we have to reply in depth noting areas we should be focusing on to improve, things like that. Normally it's fine, I generally only have one or two minor things noted usually.
Today I got to work with a message in our work chat from my boss that a client had complained about me and sent a specific incident report back, saying I had put together a whole quote for a customer instead of just directing them to get a shipping estimate on the website. That didn't sound like me at all, (seriously who does that much MORE work when you don't need to, lol!) so I pulled up the chat and had a read through it. Where I found the customer REQUESTED the quote and gave detailed information such as quantity, etc. I even mentioned that it would be a full cost breakdown of his items and shipping and he was pleased with it. Apparently the company reached out this morning and the customer was like "I only wanted the shipping price" so they got mad and sent a complaint about me to my boss for that.
So my boss messaged me and was like "You need to make sure you're following the process right, blah blah blah." Not a mean message, but disheartening to receive at 6 a.m. when you'll be working all day. So like a good little bee, I read through the chat, and then I was aggravated because I knew I was right, but how do you tell your boss that? So I composed a polite response noting where the customer requested the information, and sent it to him, hoping he wouldn't think I was being an ass about it.
He replied "Thanks Jillian. I hadn't actually read through the transcript until now. They were wrong to complain about this, perhaps they didn't read the whole transcript either."
That made me feel better, and he said he would look deeper into those complaints now, and read them, and that he has my back, so that was really nice. It was just annoying because I am really tired from working early and long hours this week so when I woke up and the first thing on my phone was a message chastising me, it honestly made me want to say "fuck it" and crawl back into bed.
Luckily I have the weekend off after this, so hopefully I can recharge a little bit.
I never try anything, I just do it. Wanna try me?
