This morning is weird. I’m upbeat and perky but still feel like complaining about a few things. Ooh I know! If I disguise my complaints as Pet Peeves, you guys won’t notice…right? 
Pet Peeve 1: When you repeatedly tell someone how to do something and then they still do it wrong or they ask you questions about things that have already been addressed. These were the people in High School/College who yick yacked while the teacher was explaining something and then they used the time at the end of the class that’s reserved for questions to ask questions that, had they been paying attention originally, were already answered. I especially hated this when I was in college b/c the professors would usually let you go early if there weren’t any questions. Towards the end of my time at university I would just get up and leave when it became apparent that my time was being wasted.
Pet Peeve 2: That I still have to endure these kinds of people. I don’t know why I thought I was leaving this kind of ignorance behind when I finished school. Of course, it probably doesn’t help that I work at a university…
Pet Peeve 3: That I mopped the kitchen floor on Tuesday and on Wednesday my husband found a trail of ants coming from the balcony door and had to Raid the crap out of them. Now I have to mop again. It’s like washing your car and then it starts to rain or a bird shits on your hood.
Pet Peeve 4: That my brain doesn’t seem to function properly. I called maintenance to fix my dishwasher on Tuesday and forgot to ask them to fix the weather stripping on our balcony door. If I had remembered it’s possible that the ant trail wouldn’t have happened and I therefore wouldn’t need to mop again. It’s like my brain purposely forgets things just to make my life harder.
Pet Peeve 5: That I always wake up one hour before my alarm is set to go off. Before I started doing AM Yoga my alarm was set for 6am. Without fail my eyes would pop open at 5am every morning. Mind you, I forced them closed and drifted off for another hour, but it still happened, like clockwork. Now that I’m doing AM Yoga and the alarm is set for 5:45am, you guessed it, the eyes pop open at 4:45am. It’s unfair. Why won’t my body just let me sleep?
What are your Pet Peeves today?
Oh and just so you know, BlogCon 08 is happening exactly one month from today! And honestly? I feel like I should change the name to BloGeTogether 08 but changing the email address is too much of a hassle. Email the BlogCon email if you want to join us!
*kisses*
Smiley Count: 3
BlogCon, woooo! So can’t wait!
…aaaand I found out that I have to play for a wedding instead of coming to meet yous guys & having fun with Matthew. Stupid people getting married. Maybe that should be a pet peeve: that people (aka my musically retarded friends) need to learn that a solo violinist playing Canon in D isn’t going to sound as great as they imagined.
I’m annoyed by the fact that I have to remain inside (at work) and the sun is out, blue skies and perfect cool breeze. Ugh. *Sigh* Ah well.
By the way, have no idea what BlogCon is but it’s on my birthday!
My pet peeve? I went to the doctor yesterday and despite the fact that I have been working out religiously, have GAINED weight. What the eff.
I annoyed that it’s beautiful and I have to sit at my desk all day. GRRRR.
Oy - where do I start??
Today, I’m irritated with one of my school teams… and not the one that usually e-mails. me.
I hate when people wait until the very very last minute to complete their portion of a GROUP project. I finished my bit 2 weeks ago to allow time for edits. The other 2 a-holes on my team? Yeah… STILL working on it and its due TONIGHT.
I want to strangle them.
im also annoyed at being an office worker on days like today. I love spring!!!!
Oh that last one is the WORST. It makes me so mad when I wake up before my alarm goes off, but too late to go back to sleep. UGH.
Yick Yack. Tee hee.
pet peeves? google reader. and a certain attorney…
I hate that it’s so nice outside and I love the warm weather, but one. I keep sneezing and two I have to work inside. Blah.
You said “yick yack”. hahaha
Oh, those are some good pet peeves–and I’m right there with you on Pet Peeve #1 and #2!!
My annoyance for the day is delivery people like the UPS or FedEx guy who seem to find it impossible to ring my doorbell when they deliver a package, so a box can sit on my front stoop for days before I know it’s there because I use the garage door! Argh!
I’m annoyed that I haven’t moved to Boston yet, but I SO feel you on the mopping. Every time I do it, which, let’s be honest, isn’t that often, my dogs traipse right through it with muddy paws. If they weren’t so damn cute…
We’re peeved that all of your Cubicle Zombies are stuck inside because we were out in it all day with the wind blowing through the flowering trees.Heaven! Still, that 40wunk and healthcare…nice. hmmm…
BloGeTogether 08 is such a cute name. Next year!
Pet peeves..oh boy.. the list could go on. Just one? Pushy people on the subway. CALM DOWN PEOPLE.
Looking forward to BlogCon. Are we still doing the shirts?
I’m annoyed that I have a meeting every Friday at 9:00. Seriously, who in the hell gets together for a meeting on Fridays. NO MEETINGS ON FRIDAY.
Good thing I am taking a half day.
