Inconvenient Annoyances

Another stupid departmental meeting called about something that has nothing to do with my work. I refused to go 

Boys and their never-ending battle of black school shoes v mud.

Very jittery lately. Probably time for more thyroid meds, for which I will hopefully get some blood drawn this week with my physical.

Having to pretend that I'm happy and excited to do data entry in a system that seems to have been made to create work, not lessen it. 

I feel my brain cells committing sucide one by one.

Know the feeling. Just spent the entire morning updating records for documents pertaining to a tribunal on the guano industry in Peru!

There's a plastic trash thing and an apple core in the draining part of the sink.

So I can't leave rinsed (but not actually washed) dishes in the sink, or non-food trash in my trash can, but you can leave random food out for hours? WTF?

(Not that I really care about those things, unless they're still there tomorrow, but the hypocrisy bugs the crap out of me.)

LOL - I was scrapping mud off my ds school shoes this morning.

Trying to get through to the Council to come pick up our old naff couch. 

I'm still so exhausted from my surgery, I guess. I slept for over 12 hours last night and only woke up because the dog was whining for a wee.  I feel like I could go back to sleep now, and I'm planning to return to work tomorrow, to a giant pile of To-Do's. 

I smashed my left thumb in the door hinge. Fortunately, it isn't as bad as when I smashed my left index finger with a car door, but I still got some internal bleeding and bruising. I'm left handed so I'm going to be uncomfortable for a while

Why do people leave their Christmas wreaths up for months after the event!  It's March already for crying out loud! I can understand not getting the lights down (although why keep them switched on) but a lousy Christmas wreath?

owwwwww! I did that when I was 10 and it went all big and purple and the nail eventually fell off. I'm lucky it regrew okay and looks normal now...

I was distracted, looking up at the stars trying to find Orion and not paying attention to the car door.

Neverending is right.  I finally gave up the battle when my son started secondary school.  His black shoes have been tan ever since.
