broken things and stuff

So I bought this rly cool umbrella shaped like a samurai sword

I really really liked it, and paired with those sars masks i've basically been guaranteed a seat on the subway for the past few weeks

last night i had a little too much to drink and i swung the umbrella like a sword.. it's not a sword so it snapped in half (ikr so strong am i)

seriously though i'm really bummed now because it was expensive and now i need to get a new umbrella (and if you live in a city you know how much of a pain in the ass that can be)

i hit up two muji stores for a new one but they were sold out blergh

also i dropped my earbuds in water today but i used the rice trick and they still work thank god

have you broken anything recently? Why do things have to break in the first place- we spend so much money for crap only for it to have a finite lifespan.. always breaking and replacing things, and losing things and spending money in the process.. why why why

@TehRaygunicorn: nah, it's a plastics recycling plant.

I get to stare at a screen all day, making adjustments to temperatures and pressures...and I also gotta sweep the floor all the time and have it sparkling clean or else we die or something.

I don't mind the sweeping, I just wish we had proper tools.. well we do..but you know, non jury rigged together brooms and mops o.o

Nah, splinters aren't anything to worry about! What you should be worried about is the angry, short, old, Arabic man fixing to yell at you for not sweeping the area even though you only have a broken push broom and a dust pan with holes and no handle!

Tightly run business.

We have brooms and tools break on us all the time at work. Instead of buying new ones, we apply a tonne of duct tape and wooden splints (totally not broken pieces of wood and twigs) and its good as new.

Our management aren't lazy butts, honest!

I can't remember when something important broke on me at home, though.
