Forgetting my Netflix password. Because when I cock it up and have to reset it in browser all my devices are screwed up until I reenter. Boo.

Turns out I forgot I enabled "Login with Facebook" a while ago on the PS3 and Netflix deleted my original credentials. Whomp.

The push back of the end of DST has definitely caused this for sure

WTF? Afternoon trick or treating? That's so dumb. Much of the fun are the Halloween displays and lights.

What does "we are having..." represent? You can't trick or treat at any time except Halloween night...

I dunno. Not our call. How the neighborhood is doing it this year. I dont think its ever been done on Halloween night in the years we have lived here. It sucks but not much you can do about it.

Shower.

Get out of shower.

Dry off.

Break out in random sweat and feel unclean again.

When you are in a turning lane - 3 or 4 cars deep. The light turns, and the first car goes.
Then like 6 seconds pass before the second car turns... that delay - I hate that delay... what were you doing?

This is made worse when the light is short, and more than a few cars take their sweet ass time making the turn.

Conference calls on speakerphone in the middle of a cube farm.

A- They make headphones available for our desk phones. Get some.

B- There are three offices sitting open right now within 20 steps, one vacant the other two with people not on site today. Use one.

C- They give us all mobile devices that come with earbuds. Use that.

I probably take 95% of my calls on speakerphone.

I'm also in an office, which I'll probably be losing in 2015 Q2 once we move half a mile down the road. :(

That slight delay can make the light turn quicker also. If the detectors aren't picking up any readings the light will turn quicker, especially in rush hour

Yeah, the key part of it is the 4 foot high cube walls that let everyone in the office hear every word. Some of which are probably not really ready for public knowledge.
