The Boring Thread

[W8taminute]

Last night I cleaned the dryer filter by scraping away the lint build up.  Sometimes I just leave the piles of lint on top of the dryer.  Only after the pile gets too big do I force myself to throw them out into a nearby trash bin. 

Anybody got any good boring stories to share?  I mean, boring stories should be told as much as the exciting ones, no?

I received my annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement from my bank. It indicated a substantial increase in the monthly mortgage payment due to a rather large escrow shortfall. I tracked the cause down to a huge increase in the premium of my home owner's insurance policy. For no reason at all it nearly doubled. I cancelled my old policy and went with a new insurer. Mostly comparable coverage at a premium that is actually a little less than what I was paying before the increase.

Sometimes you need to take one step back to take two steps forward.

Asleep yet?

I have been paying too much into my 401k account and have to adjust it a bit.

I installed my WH40K Dawn of War Soulstorm with the latest UltApoc mod yesterday.

In itself, not exciting. Gus' 401K story reminded me about it though, for various reasons.

(I have a three year old cousin who will probably plotz when he watches me playing it, though right now he's fixated on my PS2 emulation of Godzilla: Save the Earth.)

^Too interesting.

I try to make even my boring activities awesome. If necessary I play music. Or run it in my head. Or compare it to Rome somehow. (cf the amusing meme trend a few months ago.)
