Oh yeah I’m dreaming of an omelette with some (not too old, cause old one is much better and too sacred and should be eaten on its own) Comté cheese right now… and some lardons (bacon strips) 
I find food isn’t that tasty here in Norway; or it’s 
expensive. No offence to Norwegians 'round here 
, but I often end up adding lots of pepper or chilli in most plates.
Happy 10 000, everyone!
Here’s to another 10 000. May they never be necessary.
As a casual follower of this thread series I have to wonder - has the misery increased, decreased, or held steady through the 10k journey?
Misery only increases
It does love company though.
They’re desperate we thinks.
Got a text from one of the guys on leave which led to a group call with the other one. Turns out that they were being bothered to end their leave early and got another email about it today. They’re not happy, and notified intent to come back for only 3 days a week.
I was open to reapplying for my position when they were due back, but now it’s too stupid.
Seriously considering stepping away from health/medical research altogether again. Too many bosses who think we get paid enough to take their shit.
Had that the other morning with friends. Their son, my godson, was unapproachable after a while 
They put mustard in it too. Genius.
Anyway. No open flames. Take care.
Ah yes, the 2nd law of whingeodynamics.

wow…I bought a license from Ableton a few months ago.
And now something went wrong with my monthly payments: Paypal says there is a mysterious “dispute” that they nor me nor Ableton nor my bank issued… Everyone is blaming someone else, and of course Paypal doesn’t allow me to cancel it. So my Live license is in permanent limbo and am forced to buy a new one.
My bank was like “Nope wasnt us.” Paypal is like “Contact your bank, wasn’t us.” And Ableton already deactivated my license. Lovely.
Reach Ableton, they are pretty understanding and should let you find a solution.
I reached out indeed. Ableton won’t re-activate it because they need Paypal to cancel this ordeal first (maybe legal reasons?) which Paypal won’t do because they say it’s not their doing, and they blame my bank… and lots of talks with my bank later they are like no clue what this is about, sending me back to Paypal… on and on.
One thing I am sure is innocent is Ableton, they are indeed quite understanding.
But it is what it is. I just not happy as a student to throw away that money and buy a new Live Suite license… but I kinda just have to get that over with, since nobody is going to change their stand.
If only everyone would turn their miserable git-like whingeing/rage into music and push it to nullband.org…
I am making music all the time… problem is I can’t publish it since Ableton won’t let me export anything lol and I got to start saving for a new license
That morning struggle, not ordering that donut when you get your coffee! I’m going home to cry!
Literally did this today! Only figured it out when I was 3 blocks from the coffee shop! Somehow even more soul-crushing than the below complaint!
Also, i had to refresh my credentials for work yesterday. No big deal, typical stuff. Go to log in this morning, can’t. The solution may be to log in with a wired internet connection so something somewhere authenticates somehow. My contract-provided laptop doesn’t have an ethernet port, so if that ends up being the solution I’m boned until a usb adapter arrives. I can’t even log a ticket for my issue without supervisor approval. This is all so fucked. What the actual hell.
Here in Germany it’s still a thing. Kids did that last weekend … results hanging in kitchen window
Delightful

(and that’s ok)
Working with two vendors on getting a module up and running on our new server for months! Today they told me it’s good!
They installed it on the wrong server!
Fuck me! Should have had that donut!
Just tap out and go get that doughnut. Screw everything else.
Best advice ever!
