Peeves @ MindSay

Things irritating me this week (or, if you prefer, "What Grinds My Gears.")

• Socially unaware students who ask hypothetical questions the last three minutes of class.
• Professors who say "That is an interesting question," when their body language screams "No, its not!" This encourages those socially unaware enough to ask such questions in the last three minutes of class.
• Professors who bullshit about politics. Damn Bush-lovers...
  
• "Obama 08" bumper stickers. Really? Already?
• The Electoral College.
• Spam. Not the mail - I have great filters. The meat-product. Other than the occasional Monty Python sketch, what is this substance good for?

EDIT: I forgot to include...

• The suckage that is writers block.
  

Such dreary weather at the moment.  Overcast, a slight drizzle, a chill in the air....A perfect example of a typical wintery day here in the heart of South Louisiana.  I love it.  :p

Well, me and Momma and Little Josh just got back from seeing the 4th Harry Potter movie.  I will attempt to not put any huge spoilers in this entry, but I must rant.

Ok, Rita Skeeter made Harry's life a living hell throughout the entire 4th book.  And at the end, we find out she's been turning into a bug and spying on him, thus explaining how she'd get her information.  Ok, she was there for maybe the first....quarter of the movie.  Then we never saw or heard from her again.  What's up with that?  I haven't read the 4th book in quite some time, but I at least remember all that. 

And for the love of God, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO BRING PEEVES INTO THE MOVIES???  Peeves is there from the first book on, and they haven't had him in a single movie yet.  And he plays a huge part in the 5th book!!  If they don't at least bring him in for the next movie, I'm going to be rather annoyed. 

Sadly, I still have not read the 6th book yet.  Once I'm done re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia series (which is damn good, for those of you who haven't read it), I'll get right on it.

Well, that's about all I have to say at the moment.  I will now sit and read as I patiently wait for lunch to be ready.  (Hamburger Helper, yum.)  :)

Until next time,

As always, my feet are freezing!! One reason why I hate wearing no socks. But it's summer! It's like your required to wear sandals. Or at least that's the way I feel. I mean come on, it looks a little funny if you wear socks with your capris/shorts. At least it does in my opinion. It's a fashion no-no. Maybe if your a little kid or something, but otherwise...

Anyways, I've realized what my biggest pet peeve is. It's when I get ready to go in the shower and there is still hair strands in the tub from the last person who used it. I think it is so disgusting! I mean, I don't know about you, but I clean up after myself. And it's even grosser if it's on a bar of soap. Little hair strands clung to soap. Even worse when it's MY soap. It's like get your own fricken bar of soap!!

At least I realized what my pet peeve is. I always hated that question in surveys. But, now I know!!!

I can't believe I"m leaving in 4 days. I got a lot to do yet. I hate packing! Ugh. So much to do, but nobody who wants to do it for me ;)

Alrighty,

ttyl, Liz

Pet Peeve Of The Day:

Am I the only one who feels that umpires at a softball game are out to get you? I swear when I'm up to bat they're thinking in the back of their mind, 'Oh look it's number six, I think I should give her a hard time" and then they make the most stupid calls just to see you strike out? Yup that got my blood boiling today, but chocolate always sweetened my disposition. I wonder who's everyone elses' pet peeve of the day?

You would have thought that my 3 hour nap yesterday would have caught me up with the lost sleep.. but no.. I went to bed around midnite last nite, and didnt wake up til 1230 .. missed church, hubby got home from memphis around 230 am, and he slept til 2 pm... I think his crazy hectic schedule is beginning to catch up with him to. 

I was almost too tired to get dressed and go get my massage...but I did go, and oh, my goodness, am I glad I did... that poor girl had to really work me over, my scalenes and upper traps were such a mess and the referrals were incredible. The human body never ceases to amaze me.  I guess being in all this pain all the time, and over compensating etc, its just throwing my whole muscular skelatal system totally out of wack. 

Did I keep my mouth shut and relax. Of course not...chatter chatter chatter... what I do best.  I so wanted to just zone, but I am genuinely interested in my former students, how they are doing, hearing their stories interests me... I guess you could call it being nosey...but I like to say I keep a interest in them..LOL!

I have 40 more minutes that I am allowed to eat... but I am not hungry, in fact I am overstuffed, we went to a pizza buffet, and I had 4 pcs of pizza-2 bar-b-que chicken and 2 potato skin pizza which was so yummy, and a bowl of their wanna be icecream.

My 2nd epidural is tomorrow morning at 845 am.  I hope this does it for me...

Pausing for a station identification break:

Some pet peeves of mine:

Rude Nextel phone carriers.. its a freaking disease...people PLEASE.. do I NEED to hear your stupid conversation!!!??? NO.

Staying on the phone issue-I hate people who are supposed to be waiting on me, whatever the venue, talking on their phone and then acting ticked when I wont let them give me their 'service'.. *stated with a achem/cough* and tell me that they can do two things at one time... :: NO chica.. I would like your undivided attention while I am spending my hard earned money, thank you very much.

On the other hand, customers that are in the same line with me, carrying on their not such an emergency conversation, and expect the service rep to wait on them without them giving them the same respect in return.

I should write a book on cell phone ettiquette... grrr. really says alot about humans when you have to write instructions on how to be polite and decent.

I hate when men...ie: son... spit in public.  I dont spit my gooby's out..why do they ? And why do they see fit to do that right in front of a woman.. I told my son the next time he did that I was going to make him do something that would be very embarassing to him... I was going to do that in front of his friends or something equally lame that I threatened him, but have no intention of doing...

Quote that makes me think:

Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny. - Carl Schurz
