I'm having one of those days that no matter which project I'm working on I run into a wall. Need another part, need more information, need another set of hands. Gah!

Within the past two weeks I've placed three orders with Drugstore.com. The one I wanted most and for which I had already waited six days was damaged by UPS and you'd think the order was worth thousands of dollars the way UPS is fussing around "investigating". It was supposed to be delivered yesterday and now it's more like who-knows-when. UPS said they would notify the sender, but I haven't heard a thing from Drugstore.com, so I suspect they don't even know yet. SIGH. Dunno what to do at this point - go out and replace the products if I can find them locally or wait and fume.
Fish ponds and cell phones DON'T mix, as it turns out!
People who say, "OK?" to end an uncomfortable conversation quickly. It minimizes the significance of my concern and is dismissive. I have started to say, "No. It's not OK." in response, then sometimes go on to explain why it's not OK.

Oh, I make that mistake about 50% of the time. I hate making it. I really do know the difference, even if I have to think about it.
Magazines that come in plastic bags. And 'National Geographic' too, for Pete's sake.
I spill food all over, all the time!!! I boil it over, plop it on the stove, muck up the microwave, dribble and drabble. I just want to stay clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My boss bought a betta fish for the kid's salon, which hasn't opened yet. The fish is in a small glass goblet--she has no clue on how to take care of it and figures that I'll do it. Of course, I feel sorry for it and have been changing the water (incorrectly, with non-treated room temp. tap water; it's the best I can do there). I can't find any food for it so I'll have to bring in some of my own.
When she decides she's tired of it, she'll flush it down the toilet, just as she did with another betta a few years ago. I don't want another one as keeping one fish correctly is a lot of work. But I can't watch it die in filthy water.
