Well f*ck me... So a while ago I noticed my car radio had support for aux input, and from searching around the web I found that the place where the input was fitted is generally in the glove box.

So I looked in the glove box... Wasn't there.

I start looking around the centre console... Can't seem to find anything, but I noticed something next to the power outlet, but I thought nothing of it, it just looked like some sort of pad stuck to the console.

 

That was several months ago...

 

Fast forward to today, I'm taking a sh*t load of change out of the centre console... And I notice that this pad had a hole in it and some raised lines. I move a bit to get the light on it... "Aux input". This sh*t has been right under my nose the entire time and I never even noticed it was the damn thing I was looking for.

Pardon my ignorance but what does that symbol mean?

You're referring to what I posted?

 

If so, it started as a symbol for peace and happiness, it started two years ago during Ramadan with a child walking to a tank and placing a circle-shaped board with that smiley face on the said tank's cannon. It was shot in black and white with masterful shots and a nice touchy hopeful tune, its length was about 10 seconds.

 

Can't find it anywhere Online, unfortunately, not even with reverse image.

Welp.. Rodrigo Duterte won the Philippines election. I'm literally part disgusted, part happy.

He's worse than Trump...

This weather is just to hot, it's been over 20c all day... glad it's cooling down by the end of the week though.

 

What in the world? It's 84 degrees celsius right now. 68 degrees is our midnight low. Lol

 

84 degrees celsius? I thought you lived in Texas not on Mercury?We don't use the metric system in the US. But 20c is only 68f.

 

It got to 90f yesterday and it was humid and our a/c needs freon so until next week it will be off. Imagine sleeping in that. The first time I took a cold shower. I sleep easy in cold air so I woke up this morning sweating after it took forever for me to fall asleep.

TT 2016 is only 18 days away, which can only mean one thing, bikes, bikes and more bikes..... to many bikes.

[RedDagger]

Never drinking again.

p sure this is your catchphrase now

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

I am pretty sure you would be dead at 84C which is 183.2 F, water boils at 100 C. The hottest I've ever had was around 35 C in England, and it was not nice I can assure you.

We don't use the metric system...

Whoops! Meant fahrenheit. Sry

You may want to lay off the booze for a while. It appears to be diminishing your ability to capitalize and type entire words.

[make total destroy]

words and capitalization aren't punk

[AlienTwo]

So all those "@" I've been seeing are actually new-age punk anarchy symbols?

[make total destroy]

nah that sh*t's for posers

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

That sounds like a fine subject for a topic in D&D.

[DangerZ0neX]

Got my first warning, not proud of it and can't complain about it, but this site honestly feels sensitive.

[Not A Nice Person]

I hate my default bitch/uninterested/grim face, people assume I'm a rude person when I'm not and god forbid I smile they act like Hell froze over.

Going into work sick as a dog when we're short staffed. I'm going to cough and vomit up mucus on my boss.

Aaaaand yet ANOTHER powercut. Dude, you stopped the electricity just yesterday and it lasted for SIX HOURS. Its not too hot, its not too cold, no one is attacking the generators OR the sources of electrical power.

 

I'm pretty f*cking sure that they are doing this just to have a laugh. Ugh.

To be honest, my Filo side likes him and the idea of Davao City Death Squads and my 'Strayan side says f*ck that guy.. He's a big mouth like Drumpf.

This "screen goes blank for 5 seconds when the laptop starts charging/discharge" issue is getting on my f*cking nerve. Half the time I end up getting CTD'ed out of whatever game I was playing at that moment, usually from Skyrim. It nearly gave me a heart attack yesterday because I was trying a new mod.

 

E: Fixed it. Was running the thing on 60pHz and when I switched to 40 it works perfectly.

Those crappy automatic paper towel dispensers. You know, the ones in the bathrooms. Every single time it's like the smallest, thinnest, paper towel ever. I have to clean my hands people! What do you expect me to do with this dinky towel? So I do what everyone else does, get more than one. But it should be one, adequately-sized paper towel. Who do you think I am? Some dude with tiny hands, like Donald Trump? The hell? So I'm getting my required three or four paper towels today and I get the look. Like I'm chopping down the rainforest or something. No damnit I just want to dry my hands. It's not some precious recourse, they're razor thin anyways. And the pull-down ones are the worst. I must have been behind Aquaman the other day because the paper towels were soaked. Ever time I tried to pull one out it would rip. It was like the machine was laughing at me and my soggy state of affairs. Damnit I just want dry hands! Is that too much to ask?

I'm laying here in bed, feeling strangeful peaceful - apparently the universe wasn't happy with that. Now my eyes aren't great, especially the left one, I see something I assume to be dust, on my quilt.

It moves, I turn to look at it and what the f*ck do I see? A spider about the size of a 50p coin. What do I do? Fall off my bed, crunch my elbow into the floor and cry a little.

 

I flipped my duvet over to get it off of me, so the spider was trapped in there, my Mom had to come and grab my quilt and shake it on the landing, she found it.

Cocky little wanker thinking it's gangsta by ditching the walls and running around on a bed for sh*ts and giggs..

Could've been worse. The bug could've disappeared. Then the fear really begins.

Well, it's a news's network, if nothing major happens they do tend to loop things.

I suggest watching Euronews four a couple of hrs...

Do you remember how months ago i talked about quitting my job and how optimistic i was ? well that's taken a turn for the worse ! it's been a bitch getting a reference from my employer now i'm being told i can only get a personal one from my supervisor ! i don't even know if she'll give me one, why would she do it if the company wont !?

 

so needless to say i'm pissed ! i'm going off at people ! telling them what i think ! it turns out my job finder will help me, they'll sight personal reasons to get me out of looking for work this month (as far as welfare is concerned) then by next month.... finally.. hopefully.. maybe.. i'll be where i need to be... if nothing else atleast my job finder is aware how pissed i am, they understand the situation and that i want work ect....

 

if i can't get a job i guess it's back to school i go, i'm not looking forward to it.. i'd rather work i just think it would be better for my confidence .. i go work somewhere else for a few years figure out what i truly want then i can go back to school and go for it... right now i don't know what i want thus i'd rather an energy level job while i figure it out....

 

at any rate ''abusing'' my job provider was the way to go.. it got me out of the nightmare somewhat lol... atleast now i believe i'm going to get the help i need !!! thank god

 

it's frustrating though people.. it truly is.. i just want to work but i can't do it because the jobs aren't their and even if they were i aint got the paper to get me said job

 

so much for people being lazy and welfare bludges.. lol.. even when you want a job it aint always that easy... and i know people will stay i should of stayed at my last job.. but i shouldn't have too.. i shouldn't have to work in the same building forever... other jobs should exist.. so.... yeah.. i am a victim and i will act that way ! because thats legit how i feel.. like im being persecuted for not being a robot and wanting to try new things it's not fair...

 

 

EDIT: Sorry for poor grammer but this has all just happened and i'm still lightheaded and coming down... seriously... so sorry but i needed to get this off my chest in text form.. i already feel better... so yeah i'm sorry but if it's that bad just skip this post XD

I'm grumpy because I'm trying to chase this guy up for he's 750 Ti Graphics card on Gumtree and I can't get through to him, not to bother him but I've tried 3 times today to get through to him and all 3 times he's phones been off also sent him a message via Gumtree but haven't heard back. If he doesn't get back to me tomorrow morning then the deals off I guess as I don't have any other free time to chase him up. I know people work and need their time but if you are selling something at least make sure people have an easy method of getting through to you.

 

Ripper here is he's selling it for less than $200 and it comes with 2GB Vram on the card so it's a deal for me alright.. anything will be better than my 7 year old 9400gt Graphics card released the same year as GTA IV that lags when you play today's games at 1920x1080 resolution.

 

P.S I'm not one of those idiots from Gumtree who shows up to peoples listing in person and looks and says nope, if i'm really after something then I either go or don't go.. simple.

Lol just yesterday I was watching TV when I looked over and saw a spider about the same size crawling across the floor. I just sat there like "Bruh..."

*fear of spiders intensifies*
