I was diagnosed a decade or more ago by my doctor as having low blood pressure. Not "immediate emergency" low or "that's concerning" low, but "huh, that's rather low." So I imagine that the massive headache I have right now is from the huge spike in my blood pressure after spending 20+ minutes fighting the rapidly growing urge to 2nd-degree murder dealing with an in-person CenturyLink tech trying to fix our home wired line that we use for phone & DSL.
Dude, the damn tree -- the trunk of which you had to step over -- fell on the line and nearly pulled the connection box off the outside wall. No one has "been inside the box" rewiring things or connecting/unconnecting things, which I kept trying to politely but firmly explain to you, but you had already decided it somehow was our fault. Anyone else who doesn't work for CenturyLink could see the wrenched and warped service box that you had to smush and bend to even close it. And talking down to me and dismissing my diagnosis (which was correct, BTFW) like I'm an idiot, or because you've decided I got into the box to f!ck with the wiring, or because you think I'm lying to you?! If you'd've asked, I could have given you a short summary of my tech certifications and years of real-life experience, including how long I diagnosed & solved phone/modem/DSL issues over the phone with customers and co-developed software patches to fix 33.6/56K softmodems. I could have pointed you to the actual call logs of me helping CenturyLink's own phone techs diagnose issues.
I slightly blame Cosmo for the tree coming down in the storm and falling on the line.
I also blame Cosmo that I'm stuck with CenturyLink and Comcast (even worse!) as my only two options for overpriced Internet & phone service staffed by idiots and/or uncaring !ssholes.
I also also blame Cosmo for having to deal with today's f!cking mildly-competent jack!ss.

On the other hand, I've discovered that seething rage seems to overpower my no-longer-medicated general anxiety disorder. Which seems to be entirely the wrong thing to have learned, so I'm just gonna preemptively blame Cosmo for the future arson murder arson & murder trouble to which this is certain to lead.

I have been reading discussions and commentary about the smutty new Lord of the Rings TV series in development at Amazon. I blame Cosmo neither for this show nor for Bezos' Smaug-like greed for a Great Hall filled with money.
I do blame Cosmo however that someone commented that "Tom Bombadil is David S. Pumpkins" and now I can't get the idea out of my brain.

Wait they’re making a what?
I blame Cosmo that Mistress did not know about the Lord of the Rings TV series. Or that it will be smutty.

But, but, but, there weren't any women in the Fellowship?
Is it going to be twelve episodes of Gimli/Legolas slashporn?
I blame Cosmo for that mental image.

Nothing like exhaustedly shuffling into the kitchenette, flipping On the coffee maker, waiting for it to slooooowly do its thing, and then finally getting those first couple sips of warm comforting creamy caffeinated delivery... and then OUCH! What the-?!
A lone fire ant on my coffee mug, Cosmo? Was that really necessary? That's going to leave a gross pus blister on my upper lip like a fat pimple. Ugh.

...the Lord of the Rings TV series...will be smutty.
As my increasingly wise daughter would say, "Can we really just not, please? Of course they would make this series in 2020, when everything seems determined to become the worst possible version of itself.
I blame Cosmo for any depression caused by my knowledge that this monstrosity-in-the-making exists, and we have to have this conversation in the first place. Aaarrrggghhhh.

I'm certain Cosmo put a secret tracking chip on two of the three Paizo packages that have my January items.
One of the three has arrived. The other two are sitting in Ohio, no more than a 3-hour drive from here. They've been sitting there since January 28.
Don't tell me the Post Office is messed up, or that UPS is overloaded. I KNOW that Cosmo battled off the raptors in the warehouse in order to secretly mark those packages to be indefinitely held at the transfer point. And he did it twice! On two different days!
It's all his fault.

I suspect He Who Should Not Be Named But Must Be Named has a portal into the USPS mail system. I've noticed from tracking that more than a few of my packages go through bizarre far-out-of-the-way diversions or just sit on a truck/loading dock for sometimes weeks at a time. Why must you cruelly waylay my plastic robots? Why?

Yeah, the local USPS distribution center had most of its sorting machines removed last fall. I don't think that was Cosmo's fault.
Of course it was!

I ordered shipping supplies for a work-at-home project at work. Sixteen days later we still haven't received it all. None of it has been on backorder. I could have driven the 3 hours to the warehouse and picked it up myself multiple times in 16 days.
Apparently Cosmo has been moonlighting with the shipping materials supplier.

Yeah, Cosmo is probably the one who set DeJoy's parents up on a blind date all those years ago.
Oh...you meant that other thing DeJoy's been doing.
Yeah. It's like Cosmo is barely even trying to conceal his obvious involvement.

Great. NOW Cosmo has finally convinced them that they're out of stock.

User. You have called the emergency line 4 times in 3 days. Your problem is your home internet sucks. I can't talk to your ISP for you, but I have told you what to say to them.
You've also opened three different tickets for this with us and have been independently told by those three different techs that this is your home internet behaving badly.
Please stop.
Wait...where is Cosmo...

Cosmo, seriously, you have a home internet problem. Continuing to call the corporate emergency line in the hopes of getting someone besides me isn't going to work. We only have one person on call at a time. You'll get someone different on March 15th.
Which, honestly, is something else I should be blaming you for.

So. Been a while since Cosmo graced my doorstep. Since it was clear that Cosmo had so thoroughly infiltrated my last company, I quit on April 1st, 2021.
Now it appears he's infiltrating the customers of my new company.
It's really my fault, because this new company has a larger attack surface for Cosmo to manipulate, and I should have thought of that before taking this job. However, Cosmo, nobody told you that you *had* to take advantage of this.
Just...lay off a bit...ok?

Cosmo is teaching the weeklong training class I've been in this week. He just talks. On and on. Little to no interaction. Just talking. Says things like "I'm not going to talk much about this next topic," but then goes on for an hour and a half about that very topic.
Cosmo. Dude. I submit already, ok?

I blame Cosmo for getting rid of alignment! I also blame Cosmo for keeping it around so long. Really, just kind of all-purpose blame.
Also, I blame Cosmo for my hen that has stayed stubbornly broody for multiple weeks despite having no rooster and no eggs. We're missing out on half our layers, and it's all thanks to you!

Praise Cosmo, I discovered this week if you ask or tell someone to do something and you tell them "the fate of the universe is at stake!" They will automatically start putting their maximum effort into it.
Also, the block for the fire table will arrive a day earlier than expected. Of course then your stone supplier will remind you that the fate of the universe is now on your shoulders. No pressure.
