    I'm buying a house getting married and going on a honeymoon all within 5 days.

    Planning!

    I rode the bus for half an hour then walked another forty minutes to work today, before discovering I left my key card in yesterday's pants. No one else shows up at the office for another hour.

    Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

    Sigh... this was last Wednesday. I didn't mean to, we've just had a lot going on and forgot.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    Yep. I don't even have an excuse except laziness.

    Luckily I can get it dismissed by just renewing it and paying some late fees and a $20 court fine.

    I gave my daughter sugary snack one hour before bedtime last night. Who needs sleep? Not me.

    A little while back I microwaved some tomato soup and spilled it while I was taking it out. And it wasn't on an easy to clean tile floor either. It was goddammit wooden floorboards and cardboard boxes and potted plants.

    I did that once. But it was because of poverty instead of laziness.

    This wasn't recent, but it was really, really dumb

    We were walking through Wal-Mart and I saw the little demo tents they had on display to show you what they look like without taking up a lot of floor space

    And I dunno where my brain was but it was not in the right place, and so I asked my then-wife why in the world somebody would buy a tent that small

    Is it just for dolls or something?

    So yeah I had a Zoolander moment

    "What is this, a tent for ants?"

    At least I felt suitably horrified with my brain after I realized moments later what an idiot I was

    Guess what I forgot to do a month ago

    Which is when I was desperately trying to find a place to live

    I will take this as a sign to do it SOON.

    Well I mean, get a bunch of other mutual friends who also aren't invited to the wedding and take your friend out and have fun

    It's probably a dry wedding anyway

    I am trying to make a living working freelance, making my own schedule.

    I just accidentally double booked myself for a day and told my girlfriend how dumb I was.

    She then said "that's the day were moving. You even rented the van!"

    So that's like double dumb.

    Had the heavy paper from our shopping bags slide up under my nail and delivery a paper cut a couple of times.

    Also went to zip my pants up the other day, zipper tab slide right up under and into my index nail.
