Don't you hate it when…
Don’t you just hate it when you wake up feeling annoyed? That’s me, today.
Stupid little things that people around me have done (some really insignificant, but still add up) are driving me to complete frustration. It’s not really their fault — They don’t know that four other people in the course of a day or two have also done thoughtless, dumb things. I want to tell these people directly, but I fear if I do, I will be looked as being petty.
Because, each thing is really pretty small.
It still doesn’t lessen my annoyance factor, though.
I want to act like a five year old, and throw a temper tantrum, but I know the many neighbours who can see into my place would probably call the people with the soft white walls for me. I guess a lot of stuff has been building up lately.
It’s times like these that I just want a hug, and a different perspective from someone I trust. Because I know as well as the next person that none of this would be an issue at all if I had someone in my life that I could talk to. I’m so tired of leaning on my friends all the time.
I hope you’ve had a better Saturday morning than I’ve had. Lolita trailer

people will get on your nerves. it happens.
As a business owner, I am constantly expected to listen to people complaining…about something. Sometimes customers, sometimes suppliers, but mostly from my own staff. An I am expected to lend a sympathetic ear. which I always try to do. Lets take the most common, most unlikely reason that someone will miss a shift… I mean really, how often does food poisoning actually occur? If you look at the stats and then look at how many times I have heard this, I must employ a group of staff that typically eats at “Samonella’s chicken” over on burnard street. Does this annoy me? Yes. Do I let it get to me? Why bother.
Tanya, people will annoy you, frustrate you, even piss you off occasionally. But honestly, let it roll off. Be happy within yourself and all the other crap around you won’t matter. It has taken me years to realize this. Even if the crap costs me more of my time, so be it. It’s better than being bitter about it. And I often say to myself…in the long run I am a better person for just letting this go.
Of course it’s not a perfect mantra. And by all means I am no angel myself.
Have a good weekend!
Here, have the most sincere e-hug I have:

@Barry… thanks! I just needed to stop obsessing about stupid stuff. You were right.
@Glen –
Aww thanks! I guess I’ll be seeing you in about 3 weeks, huh? Have a great trip!
@Richard – thanks for the talk last night hon. I’m glad we could catch up.
@Nel –
Richard has a girlfriend, meaning, he doesn’t spend much time with his friend anymore. Certainly no time to collect funds and head to Disney World for Diabetes! PS: Thanks for all the encouragement! You’re the best.
@Dee – Thanks darlin’
