Just Venting

Ok, its been a long week. Even though I was only at work for four days, it felt like it was about two weeks long. I just need to vent. See if you share my annoyances.

1. Heinz road guardrail. I worked for over a year and a half to get a guardrail installed on Heinz road where the stupid Cambridge Hills subdivision never materialized. The problem that occurred there was initiated when the trees that used to line the road, and therefore protected us from going over the embankment there (40 foot sheer drop) and possibly killing someone, were removed for the non-existant subdivision. So the guardrail was finally installed, and it is too short. How incredibly stupid.

2. Kids who routinely don't bring something to write with to school. How stupid is this?

3. Teachers who don't post grades. My son and a friend's son thought they were doing ok in one class until the teacher posted lots of grades on SIS. At the last minute. And I couldn't follow along with what had happened and intervene to kick him in the butt and help this from being a critical situation. HOW annoying.

4. Friends who won't listen. (Not you moms.) No matter what. Or how reasonable and factual you are, they are right and you are wrong. No amount of logic will sway them. Emily has also found this out when discussing environmental issues or social issues with friends. Crazy.

5. Men who don't go to the doctor no matter how bad they feel, like my husband. I guess it is better to spread the infection to the rest of the family and whine like a puppy. Lord help me.

6. Kids who, when papers are due at school, continually think I'm so stupid as to believe for the fourth time that their printer ran out of ink so they couldn't print it. Sorry, it's late this time. ANNOYING.

7. My dogs. Ruining house, constantly wanting to go out, begging for food, interrupting sleep. Love them, but almost not worth it.

8. Mortgage companies. Some work with you, some are just darn rude.

9. Girls who call. Late in the night. Giggly goofballs with excess hormones wanting to talk to my son. Should know better. Geez.

10. Old men at the grocery store. Stand in front of items I want and won't move. Send a woman, we know how to shop and help each other out.

Ok, done venting. Now I feel better.
