What made me unhappy today ?

I believe I've had it, but diagnosed by a corpsman not an MD.

It wasn't nice. Worse than salmonella, better than White Castle.
 
I'm just too lazy and scared to transition to Linux and I've made my feelings on Mr. Jobs' Monster clear at several points in the past. :)
I have not loved LibreWriter. For years it was reliably corrupting certain DOCX files. I diagnosed and reported the problem (doubly writing an XML attribute) but never saw any acknowledgment or follow-up. In addition, even with the direct-replacement Times New Roman fonts, line and page breaks did not match Word's. In the publishing business, that was a hard NO. I actually like that it uses the Word 97 interface at which Word peaked, but it just wasn't a serviceable substitute, and the developers' attitude appeared to be Everything will be fine once Libre Office and ODT files becomes the global standard. In other words, come the revolution.

I use OpenOffice because I'm poor. Had very few issues with it, and found workarounds for most of them. It's the full OS level Linux that attracts and scares me.
 
I had the option of leaving the car out in 5 degree (F) for the next few days...

I haven't put a car in a garage since 1979, early on because we didn't have one and later because whatever garage space we did have was turned into my husband's shop. Our cars laugh at 5 degrees and started right up in -35. Seats were cold, though.
 
Create a inventory sheet with pars for your kitchen. You will never run out of anything again.

I would. I'd see something missing, add it to the grocery list, leave the grocery list at home, and reconstruct it perfectly from memory... except for the missing item I set out on the trip to buy in the first place.

Are you taunting me? Actually, it's not so much the temp as security. We aren't out there where every car that drives by is a neighbor.

I do love the heated seats in my jeep. 😁

Trouble is things I write on the shopping list often get intentionally ignored...
I use my phone’s Notes feature for my shopping lists. I don’t forget my phone.
 
I dreamt that I had forgotten my wallet after flying halfway across the world. Although I still had my phone with me.
 
It's hot here, so I went to the supermarket for (one of) my favourite ice-cream. It was $10, but on special for $8.

Why does this make me unhappy? Because last year (and the year before that, etc.) the usual price was $8, and the special was $4. What a rip-off. :rolleyes:

(Yes, I know it's a First World Problem, and I'm sorry). :(

And this didn't make me unhappy, just amused: another shelf had a box of crackers for $3.50, but there was a special -- two for $8! *gasp* What a deal! =P

Goodness, no, I am not taunting you. My dearest fantasy involves parking my car under shelter in the winter. Do you think I LIKE shoveling two feet of snow off the thing?
 
long time to go without

I had a place with a garage for about a year, but I usually parked on the street anyway because the garage was off the alley. When it snowed, getting the car out of the garage and down the alley involved a lot of shoveling.

Free range cars are my past and my destiny.
