Today I have... Thread.

Today I have found out what the bang on my roof was from last night. I thought a bird ran into the window or something. Well, I found what caused the thump. Someone (or something?? bird??) dropped a fish on my fucking roof.

We just found the fish: it's like a 2 foot long carp.
Lucky!
 

I forgot to bring a banana for scale. But here is Roof Fish in all its glory.

Today, I have learned that my progress with my workplace's biggest annual client project may come to a screeching halt because one of the forms we normally file on paper now has to be submitted electronically - requiring both my boss and the client (each of whom has minimal computer literacy) to register for usernames and passwords on the requisite submission site.

I have a feeling I'll be taking the time to take care of this myself for both persons.
 
Today I have calculated that a Westlife song was #1 on the days both myself and my brother were born. Sweet.

I went to the beach with a friend and found this weird-ass dead fish.
Bottom, I think. Note the weird pattern.

Top. His eyes are hard to see with all the sand.

Edit: according to my googling, he seems to be a "Plainfin Midshipman". They migrate from deeper waters (hence the bioluminescense pattern) to the coast for spawning, which explains why I found him.

Got banned off a game for "hate speech". The offending statement? That African-Americans riot and burn their own communities when they protest police shootings. Made without any nuance or subtle insinuations about race or anything. Just a simple statement of fact. The discussion was about communities that do that (specifically, the French at the moment) and I likened it to what happened in America.

I should have known stating facts people don't want to hear about events is hate speech.
 
Someone tried to hijack my eBay account last night, so I've had to call eBay today and sort that shit out. I've had people try to hijack my Steam account many times and likewise my gmail, but this is the first time the hijack was partially successful. They managed to change the email address on my account before it went into automatic lockdown. So now the eBay shit is sorted out, but I now have to change passwords all my other accounts. It's bullshit. Fucking hackers.

Lol.
 
Today I have found out why I have a lymph node bigger than a marrowfat pea.
My bottom left wisdom tooth has been on it's side, impacted and emerging slowly and painfully since May.
Now, in my country, wisdom tooth removal is not routine even when you have a serious problem.
I had a serious abscess under the gum flap a while back but it solved itself. Everything was fine.
Until I woke up this morning and a pocket of pus has formed on the gum below said fucked up wisdom tooth.
God I love England.

You need to get that fucker removed. At best it'll knock the rest of your teeth out of alignment, at worst it'll rot your jawbone and spread infection everywhere. Because of the pus discharge, I had stomach problems on top of everything else before I had all four of my wisdom teeth chiselled out. They had to knock me unconscious so they could dislocate my jaw and hack out bits of bone to reach the bottom two growing sideways.
