We just bought the biggest fridge we could last year and it's always full. I hate having to make room for MORE stuff. I also hate looking for stuff that's made it's way to the back. 

Sometimes the ice jams in the ice maker.. That's such a hassle.

I was with you up until the comma, then the rest of those words made no sense to me at all.

I don't own an iPad.

My smartphone is, like, a year old.

I have a 3 year old iPhone 4. But I can't upgrade without paying full price or I will lose my unlimited data. Who wants to keep track of their data usage?

You win.

 

We're blessed.

 

ETA:  Being an expat is a good gig.   Companies throw lots of money at you to keep you happy, because they're throwing lots of money around you just to get you here.   Last year, not counting my salary, my company spent over a quarter-million dollars to keep me in Beijing.   There's another family here with 11 kids.  I'd hate to know what that's costing the company!




Here's the real question... are they hiring?

I got hot sauce in the cracked glass of my iPhone 4 and that was the last straw. I HAD to cave and order a new phone.

Oh, don't get me started. Work provides me with a BlackBerry. Are you kidding me, a BlackBerry?!? And when it rings, I don't know if it is my work phone or my personal cell.

I need ringtones.

At least you didn't just buy an iphone5 only to get word that they're releasing the next one.....now I'm in for at least 18 months with this, basically obsolete, phone.

I just purchased a new package of Ice Breakers Duo (Raspberry of course) only to have my three sons sneak into my car and eat all of them in about 2 minutes.

I was not able to enjoy my Duo on the way to work this morning. 

Life is unfair.

Haven't figured out how to reply to a thread, without replying to the most recent post. I like to reply to the thread so go back to first page and reply to OP.

Post pictures of the baby and get tons of "likes" and get excited when the little bubble pops up, because I like comments more than likes.

Hate the red bubble on the iPhone that pops up with something new. (I turn this off on everything I can.)

Haven't had time to check COJ in the last few days.
