On an April Fools post. Context: I pretended I was moving to another state.

I did a favor to recover an item for a female friend and dropped something off at her house. She invited me into her bedroom to hang out.

(Note: THAT is a story in itself...)

Another one during college: "Hey, wanna come back to my dorm? I'll make pancakes!"

Makes you wonder how long this was going on and if he'd tried something in the past.

Yeah, people enjoyed the tea but all unanimously agree that Ned is still an asshole.

Update: this is turning into a major clusterfuck. Long story short, just dropped my phone off for repairs that Asurion is going to have me pay for, then hopefully reimburse at a store that's a two hour round trip from where I live.

Full story coming once this is resolved.

Sit/stand mode usually requires one of those Varidesk things or an electric desk... depends on how much you want to spend.

The one thing I would suggest... plan on if you want other new furniture. I just actually outfitted my office and bought other stuff in the same color scheme.

Depends on what you want to use it for... shape wise, I've always gone for L or U shaped desks because I need space for computer monitors and additional space to work on any laptops/secondary devices off to the side.

My Twitter is usually protected and I don't post on it often, but I keep it around for "vendor relations" (read: complaining publicly to see if social media support can assist), so I unprotected it and posted a complaint on there.

And now to drive back home after wasting my time.

...and they confirm that yes, the phone is under warranty still and yes, walk-in support should be available for this issue.

Tomorrow, I get to call another store and see if they will fix my phone because I don't trust the first store now to not half-ass the repairs. /3

...because it's a folding phone and harder to work on. Apparently they're concerned that repairing it may cause other issues. I pretty much ask if they can do a repair as I don't want to replace it, they stay firm.

So I go out to my car, call Google Support... /2

Update: not only have they not responded to my email, they've emailed me three times asking if I'm interested in the role!

Would it be evil to apply and see how far I get?

Oof, got any Tums nearby?
