Well…
Chinese restaurant didn’t send rice.
No one. I spent it in Buenos Aires with my partner. Best Christmas in a long time
I won’t saying ruined but put a damper on.
The gf worked today (yay overtime) and was off at 7pm. I figure ill put the turkey roll im the slow cooker around 4:30ish then start the potatoes around 6. The turkey roll was already thawed so 2 hours should have been lots. By 8 pm the temperature setting is still only 110F. Finally I touch the side and realize its room temp. The ceramic pot is barely warm to the touch. The slow cooker died.
We transferred the meat to a tray and put in the oven. Done in half an hour. Late dinner but still good.
I don’t usually bother with boxing day sales, but maybe tomorrow I will. This time I want one with a delayed start timer.
That bald guy who started a online bookstore. But not to bad overall, WFH.
I woke up at 5 in the morning with a stomach bug 🤢
I also have a stomach bug! Never really realised how much of my usual Christmas Day revolves around food 😥
I hope you recover from yours quickly. Food is the thing about Christmas I look forward to the most. This year I’ve just about managed to eat 5 plain crackers in the past 24 hours 😂
I had my holiday time off canceled for the second year in a row, but I can’t even do any work because the customer that threw their problems at us while they’re on vacation didn’t provide enough specifications.
During my standup yesterday we literally determined I don’t have any work to do. Thanks boss.
I was writing my resignation in my head all weekend instead of enjoying my holiday.
I wouldn’t say that anything ruined Christmas for me this year but there was some unfortunate circumstances with some of my gifts.
For example, I asked for an original Xbox controller with a USB adapter. I got them and they work perfectly fine in Linux but they don’t work at all in Windows, which potentially limits how much usage I can get out of them. Apparently, Windows 10 blocks the drivers required to use the adapter, which if I had known I probably would’ve just asked for a generic USB Xbox controller instead (if they exist).
My Wife’s Father. I don’t care for him even if he has changed following a letter she wrote to him saying she’d be out of his life if he didn’t. In the past he beat her Mom and put my Wife through constant guilt trips. He honestly has changed a lot since the letter and he does very well with his grand daughter, but I just wanted to be home with my wife and daughter after working 70 hours out of state on a retrofit job. My Wife’s mother and step father will be visiting new years weekend. I just want it to be my family, but my Wife needs the help watching our daughter while I’m gone for work, so I just put up with it like any decent human would.
It’s like a trope. Old men who used to be really shitty fathers and now desperately try to cling on to the image of themselves as the heads of the family even though they will never truly be forgiven for who they used to be, and everyone are kind of afraid that they still are.
It’s sad, it’s painful, and it’s fucking impossible to deal with in a good way.
My oldest sister will probably be getting to that here in the next hour or so
My truck was stolen, suspiciously right around the time Santa should have been there 🧐
Just go get it.
Not like you don’t know where the jolly ol thief lives.
No point now, he’s probably put a million miles on it plus think of all the piss bottles
Fair point. Suspension’s probably shot from all of the taking off/landing with the toy load on it.
Way of the road.
It wasn’t me, I swear!

Christmas was good but things costing more now had me stressing all month. It’s harder to budget now than it used to be.
Being sick AF. People came into work sick because of our asinine sick policy, and now they’re better while I’ve been bed ridden for 3 days.
Lost my grandmother a few days prior, got bumped out of my shitty job to a lower paying even shittier job, and have to pass on a good job opportunity bc it would mean a big move and my partner refuses to move with me. And shes going traveling for 1.5 months on vacation right away without me. We have a house together and have been together for almost 14 yrs.
