First world problems.

So, since last friday I have been patiently waiting for my custom made Tom Clement Bass #276 to arrive. Well, about two hours ago, I get a text from the wifey telling me it has arrived, the box looks good, and nothing seems damaged. So now, it's 1:10 pm, I have to stay here at work until 4, and all I want to do is GO HOME AND PLAY MY NEW DAMN BASS! That is the extent of my crappy day thus far. It could be worse, really. Anybody else have anything they wanna vent about?

My internet sucks and if anyone is online while I'm playing Battlefield 3 it gets super laggy.

Borderlands 2 looks AMAZING. I can't wait. . . Never had lag issues with BL though.

I can tell from the other side of the interweb that you don't look well. You might consider going home before you give that to someone else at work.

I have all the resources (i.e. expensive gear & software) I could need to make awesome music... but I suck at making music.
