So the chain of my pocket watch sometimes gets stuck in this little gap in the side of my chair. How this happens, I don't know, since I have never been able to replicate it. Anyways, I go to get up and, not noticing it stuck, get up. Normally I immediately get pulled back down when it's stuck but for whatever reason this time the chain detaches. The clip attaching the watch to the chain is now totally bent out of shape and the part of the chain that goes on the pocket now has a nice little furrow on either side from the rest of the chain coming free of it.

Aside from the novelty factor, I find looking at a pocket watch just as convenient as pulling out your cell phone for the time.
Also, I don't think that anyone under the age of 65 can pull off having a chain hanging from their pants without looking like a complete douchebag.

This happens to me all the time with my keys. I keep my keys on a lanyard and in my pocket, so the lanyard always sticks out and gets stuck on things. I don't keep the lanyard's ends clipped together for that reason, but they still always get into things. I've broken a bunch of glass stuff at work like that actually. It hooked onto a teakettle which I dragged with me into some glass.
i've been covering graveyard shift at work. they continue to have meetings during the day. i slept through one and never heard the end of it. today i come in for the usual meeting and found out the meeting was changed less than 24 hours beforehand and no one bothered to let me know. fucking awesome, i don't do anything but work and sleep anyway, feel free to treat me like a mushroom,

I had a terrible bowel movement that felt like razorblades, and the TP was red when I wiped.

I never suggested myself. I was telling you to hire a mexican.
They suck ;D

I didn't expect as much, though the fact you can read and type at all surprises me at times.

the fact that someone hasn't punched your lights out yet amazes me too, ~small miracles~

Uh, looks like my computer is dead. Again. Different reason this time; it won't bootup 90% of the time and it'll freeze without failure shortly after a successful startup. To give you an idea, it freezes during startup repair.
I don't even know, but I'm done with this damn computer. The fix Hek hooked me up with was great since I know my graphics cards are alive, but it's time to put this thing to rest. I feel like Victor Frankenstein.
As I was typing this, the Windows boot manager was trying to run. Now it says "An unexpected I/O error has occurred". This morning it had a "disc read error" trying to boot from the hard drive. I'm done.
EDIT: Tried removing a disc drive, startup repair ran normally and now I'm at my desktop. I don't know anymore.
