The Daily Peeve / Rant

[fidgiegirl]

When a friend asks you via text "Hey, can I stay at your house on Nov. xx-xx?"
and the day before she's supposed to arrive, the text you get is "We'llbe arriving around dinner."

making you want to say no to said friend altogether, which makes you feel like a horrible person, when it was friend's fault she didn't say anything about an additional guest earlier.

My twice a year Pet Peeve: I hate time change. Pick one or the other and stay with it. Repeal Daylight Savings Time!!

I am SO SICK of the robo calls. We're on a Do Not Call list, but I guess the political robo calls are allowed. We got about 7 of them yesterday.........and 2 after we were in bed!!!

I have to pet peeve Blogger. Regardless of the fact that all of my photos are of similar file size and are jpeg, it seems to pick and choose which ones it will allow me to upload. And the majority get the little orange triangle fail sign. This has been happening since I started using it. Pulling my hair out. And then, sometimes it will put the 'failed to upload' photo into Picasa, which I don't even want to use.. and is baffling that it will upload to Picasa but not onto the new blog post. Bang. Head. On. Wall. I'll just be a photoless blogger, if this continues..

I am totally with you on this. It takes me at least a week to reset my internal clock twice a year. I simply do not understand the excitement over "we get an extra hour of sleep!" Doesn't work that way for me. *sigh*

As part of new position, I have something Customs-related that each customer has to renew annually. We need them to sign off on it. No auto renew. I love the customers who just ignore me. They don't respond to phone calls, faxes, OR emails. Drives me batty. We'll see how they are wh this thing isn't renewed and they can't get anything through Customs!

Is there any way you can change to auto-renew/opt-out? You'd hear from them soon enough.

Nope. We need the paper trail of a customer specifically authorizing us to renew. CYA is a perpetual need in my industry. It's saved our arses before.

Awkward situation in that my new roommate sprays WAY too much perfume or something on before she goes out at night. My house smells really different now that I have a roommate-her shampoo/body wash or whatever is a wee bit cloying should I say. I am a non-scent-type of person, not that I am allergic per say, I just don't like a lot of scents other than a light, fresh citrus-y smell. Not into baby powdery/floral yuk...not sure what to say or do but I can even smell it seeping into my bedroom

That might be a deal breaker for me. My olfactory senses are really powerfully connected to my thoughts/feelings.
What a bummer!
