What pissed you off today?

[Stella_Omega]

xelliebabex, that's a good letter.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

.... I know a lot of people will pounce on me for that but I felt the need to say it again.

xelliebabex, that's a good letter.

I have to agree with Stella. It's a good letter. And something you didn't say in your letter: Viki Soto was a full-time teacher. She almost certainly had substantial life insurance benefits paid for through her school district (perhaps with some contribution by herself, though not necessarily). I agree with you that there are many other, almost certainly more needy causes out there to which your friend could contribute. Good on ya.

Me and my procrastination. Had me knitting for 5 hours yesterday and it will take much more than that today to finish a Christmas gift. But my granddaughter will love it and that makes it all worthwhile.

You check online to see if somewhere is open. You there during opening hours. Not only is it not open but the entire place has packed up and gone. And it's a GOVERNMENT run establishment. How bloody hard would it have been to put that on the website?!?!?

So now you have to drive halfway across town in crazy Christmas Eve traffic do get what you need done. Ugh.

Also, discovering that a Christmas present is the wrong size and I now have to go exchange it. I'm thankful I didn't leave present wrapping till tonight like I usually do.

Quoting just so I could needle you over the procrastination. [Says he who will not conclude his Xmas shopping until sometime in the early pm tomorrow.]

My sister made me go to Walmart with her. =|

 

[Curious_in_Cali]

Feeling secure in really knowing I'm doing the right thing and then really having to drag myself through it.

 

[Beck31]

a better question would be what didn't piss me off today

 

[Loverskitten]

I dropped my iphone in the toilet a couple days ago.... yeah yeah did the rice and nothin. no internet at home so.... I'm basically off the grid.
I really can't afford a new one either..... later folks.... someday....

 

[Beck31]

I got a flu jab and now I feel like yuck

Not a thing

This woman (customer) today at work. Her little girl accidentally spilled a container of bracelets that were displayed on the checkout counter. The woman turned on her so viciously, slapped her face, yelled at her, took hold of her ear and pinched. The poor little girl's face was red, her shoulders were hunched up, she was panicked. She was sobbing. Inside, I wanted to slap the woman's hand away, to berate her.... I tried to let her know that it was ok.... that there was no harm. The whole time I was thinking that if I put too much attention on it, it might be worse for the little girl later on. I hope that little girl is going to be o.k....as in o.k. growing up. Her mom has been in the store a few times, I've been helping her with a large order and have had a chance to see her aura and her character. That little girl will have a tuff time. I feel so terribly for her. And I'm so pissed off at the same time.

If you know the woman's name/contact details/car rego please contact social services about it. It may seem like a small incident and nothing worth writing home about, but if everyone ignores parents behaving like this the likelihood of anything changing for that little girl is low. If that woman feels justified acting violently towards her daughter in public you can damn well bet that what happens behind closed doors will be worse.

Even if nothing comes of it you will feel as though you've tried to help.

Two reactions to this:

1. We made a huge dent in deaths due to drunk driving without banning alcohol.

2. I note that no one, not the NRA nor any of its supporters, suggested that more young black men should be armed after Trayvon Martin was gunned down.

Who comes to clear off snow from the roof at 7am on a Sunday morning?! After 45 minutes of pretending to be able to sleep while someone's working on the roof I just gave up and got out of bed.

This is true true true.

Annoyed more than pissed off ... but I am tired of sneezing constantly!

 

[Loverskitten]

I'm sad. I don't want to be 40.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

I'm sad. I don't want to be 40.

I saw somewhere the other day that "60 is the new 40." If that's true, then (proportionally) 40 is the new 26.67, so you have not a thing to worry about.

ETA: And how the hell did we miss your birthday yesterday????

I hope you had a very very very good one!
