    Told my boss and the rest of my cafe that I'm leaving the company for a salary job.
    Someone cried.
    Not how I expected to start my day
    but omg, salary.

    Also, if we call Vincent D'Onofrio "the human chameleon" because of how he can adapt to so many diverse roles, why don't we just call him the "human cockroach."
    Yes, I just found out he was Edgar the Bug in the first MIB BUT IT WORKS

    >Pays for next day shipping on something I bought online
    >Snows so badly that our small-ass town's only snow plow truck breaks down
    >Fed-Ex says nope and doesn't attempt the delivery

    Why me? ;_;

    Our street splits into two; once you turn onto our street and go all the way to the end, you have to make a right turn and then an immediate turn to continue. I once had a pizza delivery girl call because she couldn't find us (she went up and down the first part and didn't realize the street continued). A few weeks ago, my roommate's birthday present was being delivered by UPS and I was tracking it EVERY HOUR after it said it was on the way. Then it told me delivery failed and I"ll have to pick it up myself. The reason? "The address was entered incorrectly" despite it being the same address I've used for UPS before. I called and after talking to both customer service and then dispatch, found out that the driver was new to the route (they don't use GPS, according to a friend of mine who delivers for Fed-Ex, so they can't be hacked and tracked, I guess) and didn't realize the road split and continued. He literally showed up not five minutes later after I explained it to him.

    ...YOU'RE NOT EVEN FIVE MINUTES AWAY AND I ALMOST HAD TO PICK IT UP MYSELF BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T FIND MY HOUSE ON THE RIGHT STREET. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND, IT'S CONFUSING, BUT STILL.

    I get so salty when stuff like that happens, most of the time I am just like "Eff it" and try to find it somewhere else or just flat out don't get it.

    I feel pretty damn bad for League players in Europe, Canada and Oceania right now.

    I usually support or at least neutral on Riot's decisions, but this doesn't seem to benefit ANY of its customers.

    What happened? I haven't played in months so I'm way out of the loop.

    Well the value of the Canadian dollar is like .80 compared to the US dollar, don't know if that has anything to do with it.

    No lie, today was the first real snow day and campus actually closed and I didn't do anything productive so instead I ate half a tub of Cool Whip.

    Now my stomach's suffering the consequences D;

    From what I'm gathering from people's comments, Riot is trying to play the role of currency exchange by raising RP prices in those regions. However, even if the currency has a higher value in some of those regions, the general population's income is lower than the United States. This is compiled on top of numerous server issues in those regions.

    I might be getting it wrong though.

    It's a free to play game though, if people want skins or something and they are low on money, their priority shouldn't be micro transactions anyways.
