Name ONE thing that annoyed you today.

My annoying thing happened first thing this morning. I went out in the pouring rain to mail a thank you card and a handwritten letter DH was sending to a friend in Europe. The darn things fell out of my pocket and landed on the wet sidewalk. I had written my card in fountain pen and the ink was running all over the envelope. I was so annoyed, but, you know what, I still mailed them! Lord knows if they will ever get there.

Why can't people put clothes or not answer the door? I've seen more people that I would not rather see in all manners of dress and undress. It's very annoying. It's hard to make small talk when you're looking everywhere but at the person. *sigh*

A lot of folks in Hartford walk around in a state of undress, never mind in their own home.

Our neighbor let her dog bark tonight even though we recently had a talk with her about it. She blamed our son b/c he plays in our backyard and causes the dog to bark...well, he wasn't outside tonight. *grumble*

There's nothing worse than a barking dog. For two years we had a barking pit bull on a nearby fire escape. He not only barked, he sounded like he had laryngitis. We couldn't open the windows in the summer. Hartford police were useless. Finally, his building burned to the ground. End of dog problem. (No people or animals were injured in the fire.)

We've been putting up with it since we moved in 4 1/2 years ago. We finally got fed up when people that were looking at our house for sale complained about the barking dog. Our animal control is pretty strict about barking dogs (3 strikes in 24mon period and all animals are taken and you cannot own animals for FOUR years), but we thought we would talk to her about it first. She was REALLY rude about it and said she would try to keep it from barking.

Oh, dear. Ew.

Mine is happening right now. Twins/Yankees game and the Yankees are ahead, and the announcers, who are supposed to be unbiased, are drooling so much over the Yankees it's making me nauseous. (I'm definitely rooting for the Twins - I dislike the Yankees very, very much.)

my feet hurt... aside from that, everything is just fantastic right now... nothing to vent about.... Challenges galore, as I am spending the week in the home office in Florida working in a monster project, but it has been quite fun achieving all my goals and pushing my self to the limit... Good things are happening here... Life is pretty nice when there are no things to vent about.
Could have my kitties with me, but will hug them bunches Friday!
Even this part is nice - my friend from LA is in my house, so they are not alone....... and she is a cat lover!

Geez where do I start. I can generalize it with just family not just my own but BFs. Ugh its a daily irritation with them. I cant stand how they think that just because me and M dont have pieces of paper validating our relationship we arent family, we should not be included in holiday organization or arent able to cook a meal and invite 10 tons of people into our houses. Or how the evil step mother looks at Max and the cats like they are vile disgusting things and instigates both Max and Franklin into getting hyper knowing full well she needs to act around them like I told her too so they dont act like boobs. Its just a long list of irritation after irritation that makes up my main complaint for life.

Heavy traffic this morning, part of it just to look at a stalled car


Having to listen to my co-workers talk about crap music all morning, every morning. Soon one will start playing all the ones stored on his phone


Coming to work and finding two things that need to be redone for some unspecified reason (possibly the analyst being crabby he didn't come in until 1pm yesterday and didn't want to stay too late)


Aaaaand, making plans for lunch at 11am. One co worker says ok thats fine. Then says "oh well no we have to wait til 11:30." But yet had just said he didn't mind going at 11 and we all planned on that time


Yes, much eyerolling today and its only 8:30am


Edit: AND I was just informed that the first 15 batches of work I did for today isn't coming out properly on the instrument, soooo I may end up with 15 more things to do than I planned. Awesome.

2 idiot coworkers who sit behind me, think they know everything, and constantly have something to say about how they can't understand why cats are so important to me.
And people wonder why I work from home so often.

Definitely traffic. They've been working on the highway in my area now for a good month or so and people have just gotten plain stupid. I can't wait for that area to be finished!

ETA: My office light burned out. I have a gorgeous cat lamp in my office; my son gave it to me when I got my degree from college. I've been using it in my office ever since I started here. I thought it was just a light bulb, but when I tried replacing the bulb, the new one doesn't work either. Must be a short in the light itself, so I'm going to have to try to re-do the "guts" and see if I can get it to work. Darn it, I really like that lamp. (Overall, not really a vent, just an annoyance, I guess.)
