Peeved that I am still sick (day six by now) and it is a beautiful day here. Maybe my voice will come back today, as I lost it on Thursday. I am trying for a two day vow of silence until I have to work on Tuesday. I sure hate being sick because I am derailed from my usual routines and activities, but I am trying real hard to do everything I am supposed to do to break up this horrid congestion and stop the coughing. I want my normal life back!
Me too, SiouzQ. Who would have thought you could get a cold/cough in 110 degree weather?? ugh. I'm going into week two with this so I'm hoping this clears up for both of us soon.
Week Two? Sheesh, I don't have time for this! I am on Day Five of laryngitis; I think by tomorrow I will be able to do a pretty good Tom Waits impression. This better get better SOON because I have a gig on August 15th and I have A LOT of rehearsing to do.
I have never had laryngitis for more than three days at the most; part of the problem is that I have to talk a lot at work (customer service) and I had to work for two days while it was coming on and I struggled and strained myself to be heard. I have just had two days off in a row and haven't talked to anyone very much at all so hopefully that helped matters.
Hmm very few apts in the building with an energy use less than mine - and some so low I think they are the vacant ones really. But my neighbors is somewhat lower. I think that's because I'm subsidizing his energy use. So he'll have the radio on at 1am at night (news, not that music would be any better at that time of night - 1am - either go to sleep or do something quiet like internet or read - ok old enough and broke enough to probably not even have the net but then read - or do something quiet! it's fricken 1 fricken am for heavens sake!!). So how does this get to my subsidizing his electricity bill. Well I run a stand up fan in the other room all night for white noise, in addition to earplugs!, to block out his radio!!! Without his radio, earplugs would be more than sufficient. And then today I saw he is leaving his windows open. Ok so the guy is running his radio at 1 fricken am or later (sometimes 2 or 3) and leaving the window open right by my bedroom!!! Such an ahole he is. Maybe he leaves it open because "it's hot" and as he said when contesting his bill "he never runs A/C". Oh no dude, instead of running A/C you leave the window open while playing the radio loud at 1am at night. Because "you don't run A/C", isn't that nice (you really should run A/C if your hot and close the window if you are going to insist on blaring radio all night and not do something sensible like read a book). Meanwhile my fan runs all night purely to generate white noise. And I don't open my window or the noise would really be bad. Maybe it is why they probably aren't eager to raise rent, I really think very few people would put up with some of these neighbors for long.
My small, ancient French Bulldog who cannot hear and can only see a bit, starts yapping for dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon. I am sorry, but even if dinner is the highlight of your day, I'm not going to give it to you that early. Dinner is served here no earlier than 5:30 pm.
Today she let out some preliminary yaps at 12:30 in the afternoon. Winding up for a 5 hour marathon of yaps? oh god no, please.
This dog also eats in the morning, and may start yapping for breakfast as early as 2 hour before breakfast is served. She is well fed and well hydrated, no yapping is necessary.
Well, I have found that I am not entitled to any Peeves. They are just a sign of my tense impatience, lack of maturity, and bad attitude. Or so I'm told. Hope that answers your question.
Slackers at work who take advantage of my willingness to bust my a** and get things done. I finally went to store leadership to apprise them of the situation. We'll see if anything actually changes. As far as I am concerned, the best thing would be if this person went to a different department.

Confusion this week came from a meeting that was originally scheduled for 9/15 and we, the presenters, were moved from the agenda to next month. Got a followup email from the organizer about the October meeting forwarding the original email still titled "meeting on 15th".
I reply to confirm, do you mean October's meeting is on the 15th? No, she replies, it's the 22nd. uh, okay, so how hard is it to let us know that, and to also change the date in the subject line??
AAARRRRGH!!! House is turned over from getting ready to move, I can't find the disclosure forms for the cabin, dh is being paranoid and thinks all real estate agents are out to get him, my paypal stopped working, my dogs are peeing all over the place, and dd got her first cavity >:(
