First World Problems

No, but "I can't enjoy my beer in the garden because wi fi doesn't work out there" was.

Too funny.
 
The coffee urns in the kitchen closest to my office that have Starbucks nad Dunkin Donuts were both cold just now, and the only hot coffe was decaf. I had to brew a shot of espresso to put in the cup of decaf so I'd have a hot cup of coffee. plus, the hot water heater that serves the main coffee maker and the dishwasher is on the fritz, and keeps beeping.

/sadly, true story.
 
Which one of the 15 types of bacon does one buy while shopping in their local grocery store?
 
And, if you don't like ay of them, which of the other 25 stores near you do you go to?

I'd probably drive past the 37 coffee shops in the mile between that 1st grocery store and the next one that I'd go to simply because they have about 20 different types of sausage (most of whom are named after some 2nd or 3rd world country) :) Or if I really wanted to be safe and not have the satellite radio in my car be obscured for about 5 seconds because I'd have to park in the 10 story parking garage near the "sausage" grocery store, I'd go an extra .25 miles out of my way (passing another 12 coffee shops, 3 dry cleaners and 9 ATM machines and 10 electric car charging spaces in the process) to go to a different parking lot where I might have to walk about 100 yards to get to that store. :)

You don't think you could get a better parking spot?

Were I work I was outside on NYC side walk today on my 15 minutes break siting on my own chair and the tenant complains to me that I should not sit their because their window is their but is a public sidewalk, WTF.
 
I can no longer find the deodorant I like. It's hard to tell people with my eyes that "I don't smell the way I want to".
 
Seriously the oil prices are ridiculous. Heating my ski house is making it hard to budget for the 4-mountain season pass. So we are trying to cut some corners. My wife and drive separately to NH for the weekend so we don't have to wait around for each other. I usually beat her there by about an hour. I keep the thermostat way down at 74 until she gets there. It's freezing, but gotta save somewhere!

Just get rid of the house and sleep in your car, then 28 degree will be hot.

I'm guessing then that midweek you started turning the hottub down to 102* instead of keeping it at 108* all week long ;)

Only in the guest hottub so far, but considering it for one of the main ones too. Or I was thinking of getting a dedicated electric heater so I won't feel so bad about burning all that oil.

this is tough, my deodorant is named matterhorn. i do love mountains but i've never been to the matterhorn, so i hope i smell USA correct.

Matterhorn sounds manly. I've just finished a stick of Dove. That does not sound manly.

I've been getting a different one each time for awhile now. I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is but I stand in the aisle popping off caps and smelling them. I feel weird doing that but its the only way to make an informed decision.
