The Rant Thread/My Life Sucks Topic [Don't be pricks]

Soooooooo today I woke up to a sore throat. Not surprising; I was at a choral festival Thursday and Friday and then had a dramatic reading yesterday. Unfortunately, I have another dramatic reading today, and pre-show rehearsal starts in two and a half hours. Plus my part today is pretty massive. ughhhhhhhh

I blew out a tire yesterday, that's awesome... And of course the one time I forget my cell phone I actually need it. So I had to drive ~1 mile on a flat to my bf's grandma's house to use their phone so I could call my bf to come help me put on the spare.. UGH! And of course there are no tire stores open on Sunday... Now I get to go spend ~$200 on new tires today after work.

I swear I have the worst luck with tires... I have probably replaced 18 tires over 6 years of having 4 different cars.

Wow that really sucks.
Considering your luck with cars, maybe get a bike?

As in, a bicycle? Or motorcycle?

I'd love to get a motorcycle, just can't afford it right now.

As for a bicycle, I would use one if I could, but my job is about 12 miles away and that's pretty far to ride a bike first thing in the morning.

Christ, you and your poor luck with cars.

Me trying to write a program in C++ ends up being 60% setting up the linker, 20% troubleshooting the linker and 10% development

[Maelstrom]

What about the last 10%?

that's only like a half hour

Google says it would take an hour, though I'm not sure what their speed for riding a bike is.
They probably also add in how long it would take to wait at traffic lights because I would be riding through the city.

[Nebbles]

Also, what if it snows/rains while biking? Or it's REALLY hot out?

[Maelstrom]

You apparently haven't met bikers

[Nebbles]

I guess not lmao

[mikey]

snow can slow you down because it can get slippy
but biking on the shoulder is an option

12 miles an hour is a 10 year old on a kiddie bike basically
