Piss and Moan

Did you ever just have one of those days where you started in a bad mood and then things just exacerbated themselves throughout the day? Today was one of those days. I think it all started because I didnt sleep a wink last night. Plus I was sick for the last half of the Thanksgiving vacation.

1. I am overdue for an inspection sticker (January was when I was due). My luck finally ran out as I got pulled over last Tuesday on my way to school. The problem is that I cannot get my sticker because the ABS light in my truck is on. This light refers to the anti lock brakes, but there is nothing wrong with my brakes--its a computer error in my "operating system" or whatever. What kills me is that some cars dont even have anti lock brakes to begin with, and they drive around and can get inspection stickers with no problem. But because I have those brakes, I have to be penalized.

2. I'm tired of all English classes being so damn big . . .classes of 25 students, while other "upper level" disciplines have like 9 or 10 kids. What kills me is how we spend millions of dollars on a renovation, and, for some reason, I cannot find a computer lab to take my students--two of the "labs" are actual classes, and the library is full with study hall kids. The portable carts only have 16 computers . . .this helps me out when I have a class of 25. Then I get ridiculous comments like "well the cart only has 16 computers . . .how did you end of with 25 students??" And they chuckle. Only its not funny because its been this way for me every year

3. Marie Osmond needs to get on that plane with Rosie ODonnell, Rachel Ray, and Oprah, and fly into the sun and quit bothering people. Amanda is watching DANCING WITH THE IDIOTS right now, and she is SO BAD. All plastic surgery, fake, annoying, and she cannot take criticism . . .she tells all the judges they are wrong. I know all this . . .does this mean I watch the show?? hmmm . . . .

4. Its raining, and its that annoying rain that just annoys you as you walk around in it. So why am I walking around in it?

5. I went to the dentist, and although I like my dentist (she is a UNH alum after all) I have to get teeth extracted and I have a cavity. So I have that to look forward to.

6. We ate dinner at Subway tonight, and the people who worked at this one were idiots. Two kids worked their butts off (albeit wicked slow) while the "manager" was on the phone with "corporate," ignoring the needs of the customer. They needed to know how many roast beefs they had sold, so they could do some fancy friggin spreadsheet

7. I dont like my pants

8. I think thats it. Sorry to piss and moan. Its kind of a snowball effect thing. Ya know? I'll no doubt get some comment from "the makers of mydol" or something like that. Thats cool. Pour it on.

By the way . . . .Michelle, Steve, June, et al . . . .I didnt catch the game . . . .did the Eagles beat the Patriots?? I cant remember . . .can you tell me??
