    TSA. I hate those mothers.

    This morning I approach the lines and on the nice LED signs overhead, the far two right lanes indicate those are for TSA Pre-Check passengers. Because I can read, I get in one of the other lanes. The lady in front of me, then me, then three people behind us, find out someone designed our lane a Pre-Check without any indication or signage to note that's what it is. As I'm now changing lanes, and Lord only knows if there are other unmarked Pre-Check lanes, I say to the guy checking IDs, "Fix your damn signs so people know where to go." He gives me a nasty look and goes about his business, telling every other person or thereabouts that they have to change lanes. Simply inept.

    This time of the year is the worst. I think I have a shot at "catching up" on things and already I'm getting notifications of things coming up in January, commitments etc. Throw in all the "year-end" lists letting me know about all the stuff I missed while life happened, and the holidays too.

    Relatives who die during the holidays. Just selfish.

    Being fucking late.
    Not only for fucking work, but for fucking deadlines, etc, etc.
    I will be 45 fucking minutes early for something before I am 45 fucking seconds late for something.
    And motherfucker, if you tell me something is going to be done on the second day of the month each month, it better be done the second day of each month.....don't send me some halfwitted fucking text and say it will be next week because you fucked it up and forgot to do it.
    Fuck this, fuck that, and fuck you too.

    I do that quite a bit.
    Gets the person on the other end to laugh most generally.

    But what if they’re ambulance chasers?

    Are you secretly my un-dead dad? Because my dad would rather be an hour early than one minute late. I hated that as a kid, but I'm exactly the same way now.

    45 minutes? Piker.
    My dad had us everywhere 2 hours early. Spent a goodly portion of my childhood waiting in a car.

    This Google ad that keeps popping up when I'm on SJ.com, but it only does it on my phone. It's like every freaking time I've logged on for the last week and it crashes the site. Anyone else experiencing this? I thought it was a virus (and maybe it is), but it only happens here. I cleared my cache, restarted my phone numerous times, and it's still happening. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    There are times I wish I could beat the shit out of people with a bat, Capone style.

    Every time I'm at an event where the national anthem is played some wise ass has to say "Is someone gonna take a knee?"

    You're not alone. No real good suggestions how to deal with it. Multiple scans with Malwarebytes show nothing and it happens on no other site. Not worth wiping my phone over, for sure. I can live with being 28.1% damaged.
