What Are You Thinking About Right Now? and Random Thought of The Day were recently merged because of how similar they were. I don’t think many people saw a difference between them, but some people might think of one as being for your current thought and one as being for a random thought you had that day.

I’m making this to replace Random Thought of The Day in a way that makes it more different to What Are You Thinking About Right Now? and it is in Just For Fun.

If you thought something weird/random like “I wonder how many drops of water it takes to fill a bath“ or “Why don’t rolls of wrapping paper have a little metal cutter like rolls of foil?” you can post it here.

Being on vacation and driving in these places where traffic is bad makes me grateful I don't have to deal with that at home. Makes going anywhere stressful.

Nice to see some choosing to take the entire holidays off.

ngl I do this every time I leave my apartment. There is one girl I've only run into twice in the three years she's lived here because I'm so adept at getting in and out without running into anyone.

More online stores need a wishlist. I keep seeing things I might want to buy one day, and there is no wishlist option so I can save them for later.

It was the busiest I had seen it for a while when I woke up. Usually there are about five or six threads that have been posted in while I was asleep, but it must have been over ten this time.

When I made the post it was 1 hour after midnight, i couldn’t find any new years threads or anything so I figured nobody was here.

Now I kinda understand why some people really like Target. Sometimes it's the little things I guess. When I go to most stores, their shopping carts are always in rough shape. Half of them won't roll without pulling to one side or making a screeching noise. Then there's the ones where the one wheel wobbles constantly.

Went to Target a couple of times in the past month or so. Their shopping carts? Perfectly smooth and straight. Of course there are things we usually buy at other stores Target doesn't have. My pet peeve is janky shopping carts I guess.

I have long had an issue with my Amazon lists where I put things on there and they just disappear. I go looking for them and put them on there again and they disappear again.

I'm still the biggest stress-head in the universe. On New Year's Eve I had to get a big order ready to send off and then my boy called wanting to have lunch somewhere. So the next day I get a migraine - Jesus what a mess.

I might have to catch up on sleep tomorrow cause I couldn't take a nap at the laundromat. I had to drive further again to the other one cause the closer one wasted 8 of my quarters and the washing machine wouldn't work. This is the second time that has happened. Had to go to two gas stations to ask for quarters. One gas station would only allow me to have 8, which wasn't enough for the laundromat further away. I needed like 2 more quarters. So, I went to another gas station and asked for more. I need to have a bunch of quarters at once from now on. It would be easier. Lol Ah well.

I'm just not a fan of driving about 15 minutes away to the other laundromat but it'll have to do. Then, I went back to the closer laundromat to put my clothes in the dryer cause the dryer at the other one has to have so many quarters...14 of them. At least I only have to do this twice a week.

Lucky I started using that pill box because I could have sworn I'd taken my pills this morning but when I went out to get another coffee they were still sitting in there. And it's already lunch-time.

The Mexican girl I work with at work is really nice. I got lost inside work today for awhile, though. Didn't want to just walk around over and over for the last two hours of work. I almost had a mental breakdown. Good grief. 💀

There was a Mexican guy talking to me today for the first time and he's kinda nice. Although, I never say anything to him and he never talked to me until today. He likes to randomly speak in Spanish to certain people sometimes. 😆...The rest of the people I don't really talk to at least not yet.

So far, this job seems like a mixture of my old job and my other job I had for a week as far as the culture goes. There can be good people and kind of meh people. But the work I do for the pay isn't bad at least to me. Anything to get me away from my old job. It seems like maybe I've sort of made acquaintances with the Mexican girl, though. So, thats nice.

It drives me nuts that Gen-Z'ers keep using social media lingo, slangs and acronyms on work inquiries. I nearly screw up in work because I misunderstood some of them. Whenever I asked them for more clarification in what they meant, they get annoyed and just clarifies it with more lingos and acronyms.

It annoys the crap out of me how much people lie on youtube. Like those videos you see where people claim they're watching a movie for the first time. You watch the video and you can tell they have seen it before (probably a lot of times) by how fast they know things that wouldn't be easy to catch on a first viewing.

Same thing with those people who claim they're hearing an album or song for the first time. Not only is it not their first listen but they probably don't even like it. You can tell they don't even care. Just cheap and dirty videos for likes and views. I guess if they're able to get money that way, what do I care? It's annoying because it clutters up the feed with stuff I don't wanna see.
