I had to rent a gear puller today, and my car is back up and running.
I have orientation at my new job tomorrow.
Breaking a guitar string while you have no money to replace them is a terrible time to have a guitar string break.

My shin still hurts from banging it over a week ago.

My job orientation is so boring I'm actually using my phone to get on the forums. I tried reading on the kindle app, but philosophy (mills subjection of women) just doesn't work when you get less than a full paragraph on one screen/page.
I have no idea what this is about so I must be crazy to post it here. That's 1/2 of the way there.

There Are 5 Types of Boredom
1. Indifferent
People with indifferent boredom appear relaxed, calm, and withdrawn. Think of it as a stoner boredom of sorts (it’s so indifferent that even its definition is barebones).
2. Apathetic
The most recent paper, which appears in Motivation and Emotion, outlines this type of boredom, discovered this year. Goetz and his colleagues found that university and high school students experienced a boredom that seems a lot like helplessness (and could contribute to depression): At least 36 percent of the high school students in the survey reported it. People who have this kind of ennui show little arousal and a lot of aversion.
3. Calibrating
People with calibrating boredom find that their thoughts wander and they want do something that differs from what they’re currently doing. But they’re not exactly sure what or how they might go about it. This state occurs when people perform repetitive tasks and want to reduce this boredom, but generally seem unsure of what to do.
4. Reactant
This boredom is the worst—people experiencing this tedium are highly aroused and have a lot of negative emotions. They’re also restless and aggressive. People experiencing reactant boredom really want to leave their dull situations and flee from the people they blame for it, including their teachers, bosses, or parents. They waste their time thinking of situations they’d rather be in that seem more valuable than their current circumstances.
5. Searching
Those experiencing searching boredom experience negative feelings and a creeping, disagreeable restlessness. They look for ways out by focusing on more interesting activities.

If I watch a You Tube video ten times does its view count go up by ten or by one?
I think that is a 6th kind of boredom and one that I hope ends for you very very soon.What type of boredom would being stuck in bed for 6 days and in too much pain/too weak to get up and do anything for longer than 5 minutes or so before having to lay back down? I am surrounded by my kindle, my phone, a tv, and a jug of water. Yeah, I'm going nuts.

After a six hour long orientation, I'm really hungry, can focus my mind again, and on my drive back home I realized there were a few things that I wasn't shown, such as this computer thingy that sits next to the driver in the van and how the gas cards work, and I wasn't shown the form to fill out when you check the van out looking for any problems.
And how I already hate this job. My "boss" bragged a lot about his truck and boat, talked about his relationship problems (which I'm guessing has a lot to do with his insistence he can do anything he wants while in one, and his choice of words for describing women), and he even ran a non-essential personal errand in between the orientation and driving test.

Are you kidding? It's a religious experience for most people. One whiff and they're yelling "Oh my God!". You should try it sometime.
How you doin'? (For the record, I just tried to score using flatus. New personal best!)
