I just booked my car in to have the random brake light issue fixed and the fucking power steering oil leak (that 2 other dealers have tried to fix) fixed too. I can see this little adventure costing a good $600+
Oh and as per my rant on Facebook, a lovely trip to Centrelink informing me that I will be down $500 a month as of January due to Julia's stupid changes to the Parenting Payment. Fuck you Julia, and your stupid hairdresser boyfriend (who used to work for me). |

Well, I think that post could have gone in the pissing you off thread Ducky!
My irritation stems from the fact that I now need to pee again, and I just did a big one 10 mins ago!

My house was built in 1957 and after two really big storms with high winds (one last years knocked down seven of my 11 trees) I am getting a new storm door. Not a big, real door, but a storm door.
400.00 dollars. WTF?!

You'll bet glad you have that storm door when the big bad wolf starts blowing.

I came here to post what was mildly irritating, but got distracted and forgot. Should I start a less-than-mildly-irritating thread if/when i remember?

Work phone rings.
Me: Dr's office, me speaking. Caller: Who? Me: Dr's office, me speaking. Caller: Who is this? Me: Me. You've reached Dr's office. Caller: Oh, it's you! Hi you, I'm on the beach, are my glasses ready? Me: I don't know, who is calling? Caller: It's (person who I called and left a message that her glasses were ready and instead of checking messages she just called back a blind number and asked who it is)

At work, they upgraded me to Windows 7. And to do this, they copied all the stuff off my old computer and onto a new Windows 7 computer. And switched them out.
Except the bastards didn't copy any of the software I had loaded myself. They only copied approved software. Which means all my bookmarks in Firefox are gone. All the place marks I put on Google earth are gone. I don't mind going through and reinstalling all my programs, but those bookmarks were helpful. Recreating the wheel now. grr. The bookmarks they did copy were from Explorer, which I haven't used in YEARS, so they are all ancient. It's kind of funny looking at these really old bookmarks. It's like a forced cleanup. |

Sunburn. I was so good all summer, and then today it was cloudy at the pool, so I didn't use any sunscreen. But the heavy clouds gradually left and enouh sun got through to burn me a little. The kids got it too. First day of school tomorrow, and their faces are red. My wife got burned too. We're a house of mild irritation tonight.

Sunburn sucks. Aloe Vera will help though if you have any. Even straight sap from the plant. Vit E is also excellent.
I'm irritated by the level of weariness I feel today. I did a reasonable amount of housework yesterday. Cleaned floors, did about 4 loads of washing and just general tidying. Today I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I need a nap.

But half that weariness is from guilt for not doing more. That's wrong, you shouldn't do more than you can comfortably. That would risk the health of both of you. Most likely nobody else is being critical of you, why do it yourself? Relax, nap, enjoy the calm before the OMG-a-new-baby.

It's just the nesting instinct, Ali, you know your house is already clean. If I did floors and four loads of laundry with a toddler around, I'd be bushed, and I'm not even a million weeks pregnant. It'll be over soon.
