RE: Post your first world problem from today.

A few months ago I finally ordered some new fans for my super awesome Marshall guitar amplifier head. The fans had been making noise for a long time and getting worse. I was worried they'd crap out and my head would be toast.

A couple weeks ago the new ones started making noise. I barely fucking used this thing over the course of the past few months since the music I was working on had moved from the writing phase to the editing phase. The amp never left my room in this time. Don't smoke and cats aren't allowed in this room. There should be no reason for the fans to have gone bad already.

I get a hold of the supplier and they tell me the parts had a 90 day warranty. I was just outside of that. Fucking bastards.

I really wish I had a street legal dirt bike because I can't ride my current dirt bike around without constantly running into cops.

Would it be feasible to add blinkers to your bike yourself? I can't imagine those parts would be too expensive, but I don't know shit about bikes.

Biggest thing is I don't have a title. I could apply for one but there is always that chance that it'll come up stolen, and that would suck. Otherwise it would be easy. I just put DOT tires on it and it's already wired for lighting and everything

Gotcha. Would a way to get a report on your motorcycle's VIN for free be helpful?

Checked my phone this morning and I have the phone numbers of random chicks whose numbers I didn't really want but don't have the number of the one girl whose number I actually wanted and who I sat on a futon with and talked with for a couple hours. I'm not sure how I let things like this happen

Yesterday I was off work for Columbus day so I went hiking. Today I'm sore and now my Tuesday feels like a Monday.

The fact that I don't get Columbus Day off is a huuuge first world problem...

Open my laptop to use it and it automatically reboots to apply updates that I don't want. Everytime it updates anything it makes my computer run like shit, and so I always put it off as long as I can or until it does it automatically. It took forever to update, like 10 or 15 minutes, so I had to use my phone to browse facebook while I waited. My life is so hard :x

Why don't you turn the auto update off? I do.

Last weekend, I had to go to Aspen, CO for a school science meeting at the Center for Physics. Had no idea I was required to pay for parking, even for public spots that are otherwise unmarked. Oh yea, parking costs damn near 20 bux for three hours, and if you go over, the machine tattle-tales on you to the cops, who immediately place a boot on your car.

I had to use an old mouse with a wheel in it at my mom's house the other day. That sucked.

Be less shitty/cheap of a son and buy her a laser mouse for christmas or just cause.

I actually picked out and set up that computer for her originally. I think that mouse was a leftover from her previous computer. She probably doesn't know the difference anyway. LOL
