What first world problem are you dealing with right now?

I'm having plastering done in the house, so I had to ask my cleaner to delay till later in the week.

The country next to mine keeps threatening to invade.
(gestures vaguely:) I'm American...
- But the question was about first world....
  
  Sorry for what you're going mate but I couldn't help making the joke
  
  It's a fair point. I'm one of the lucky ones, really. For now I only have to suffer embarrassment.
- You really do have my sympathy
  
  I'm sorry we have become the burden the world has to deal with right now.
Keeping ducks out of my pool.

Also there's a certain fork my partner hates using but refuses to get rid of.
- I love ducks so I'd be no use to you. I'd be encouraging them to come back more
  
  They shit so much, otherwise I'd be fine with them.
Our Senior sysadmin is on vacation, and on Wednesday, our licenses for both our email filtering system and our firewall run out.
I was tasked with getting the replacement systems set up, but due to miscommunication and other issues, I didn't have enough time for a proper test run.
So we're going to flip the switch and hope we are still able to log in and receive mail afterwards.
Cause if we aren't, we're forced to pay 30k € for a license renewal after already purchasing the replacements.

This has lead to a resurgence of my ADHD symptoms, and I wasn't able to wind down all weekend.
I've been having a constant fight-or-flight reflex for the past 3 days, but there's nothing to fight or flee from.
- That's stressful mate... I have anxiety so I can relate to what it's like to have your body think you're being chased by a bear. Reach out to us of you need to vent
  
  Yes please reach out, someone's stupidity is always falling on people who couldn't have prevented it and has to fix it
Instead of treating my intense joint pain, I just got prescribed an app with streching exercises. Thanks for nothing.
- What do you suspect could be the problem? How are your stress levels? How is your microbiome? Do you sleep well? Do you eat well?
  
  Injury Related, Bad, Bad, No, No.
My father has gone against my grandparents wishes and isn't sharing the inheritance with his children.
- Oh gawd. Is he a good dad in general?
  
  no
First world country becoming a third world country. USA.
I have to go to the other bunnings 15 mins away as opposed to the one 5 mins away to pick up some panels for shelving
Travelling too much means I can't spend time at home
- Where are you travelling to?
  
  A few countries nearby to visit family. It's not that bad, that's why it's a first world problem 😄
Have to wait a few days after shaving before I can safely wax my legs. Really hate the feeling of the little hair follicles rubbing against my pants before I rip them out.
feeling bored lol
- Have you tried this website called Lemmy? It's pretty good
I can't build more Lego sets because I've run out of space to put them when they're done. Waiting on getting more shelving.
