I figured I would build my kids a gaming pc as my present to them. They're always fighting over the wii/tv and they both have pc games they want to play on my comp as soon as I sit down to do something. I have plenty of spare parts lying around, thought it a good plan.
Saturday night after lights out I got to work and had their pc built pretty quickly. Went to fire it up? Nothing. Tested/tried everything...think the mobo I was using is dead. A trip to microcenter.com and a few hundred dollars later, I had a new mobo/ram/cpu that I would take, transferring mine into the case I have for them. Left work today at 3, went to Cambridge to pick the stuff up, back to Boston to pick up the last of the gifts Santa hid in my office, and then home to make cookies and dinner and clean.
Got the kiddies to bed, got everything together on started to get to work shifting the guts from my case to theirs.
Mobo:Atx Case:Mini or Micro ATX.
FUCK.
Now I'm asshole daddy with a promise of gifts to come on Friday, when the new case comes from Amazon. Santa is stupid and shops drunk, so they're getting a shit ton of presents, but none from me.

Fuck me.
Man, that's not your fault. I mean it's not like you're saying "Welp, no Christmas for you kids!" Or anything.
I'm at work until dawn, then I have to be back in twelve hours. Then 6 hours after that shift. My ex sent me some shitty messages, and one of my employees fathers sat me down tonight to tell me that its not too late, I can lose weight and not die. Merry Christmas
To be fair, I think it was a sincere gesture. He has diabetes and is on dialysis. He pulled me aside to talk to me. The whole thing was just....awkward.

or should I say. . .
Happy Holidays!

For once there aren't many vidya games I want
At least not for the price they're currently at

i was at a filipino funeral and the whole service was a minister singing "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys

You are far from an asshole here, man.
just be like "oh and here is some more shit" on friday so you look like super dad
The internet has recipes
Or just slap your kids and tell them to appreciate what they've got because some parents can't afford to buy their kids the gifts they want to.
Your point is intriguing, yes.
And Phaidon publishes some nice-ass cookbooks.
NOW YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE
the end of all things
Fuck that guy
I hope you told him to get fucked
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
It is nobody's place to tell you that except your doctor
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
people do awkward shit when they think they're doing a Good Deed (see: pestering mourners)
yeah that's not an overreaction or anything
Telling someone they're ugly and will die soon makes you an asshole
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
cool and when somebody thinks they're doing you a favor, you come out looking like a bigger asshole
they will also not reassess what they've said and instead will get defensive
so if you wanna be the guy people think is a shitbag then go right ahead
Do you like drugs? Yeah, well me too
