Shoe stores: do they have magic carpets?
Why does a pair of shoes which fit perfectly well in the store suddenly begin to pinch and become generally uncomfortable as soon as I wear them outdoors and thus can noi longer return them???
grr. ouch. moan. At least they were on sale, so I didn't pay a fortune for them.

My parents are pissing me off today I drove 3 hours from home to Montreal, got on a plane flew cross the country with a 9 month old baby to surprise my father for his birthday and now I'm making the return trip home, while my sister and her crackhead husband managed to walk on to a ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver Island my parents drove down to pick them and after the weekend drove them back down gave them ferry fare lent them over a $100.00 while they were here, he stayed drunk the entire time on my parents money. As I'm getting ready to leave today I went to the freezer to grab some stuff that my father made the other day, it was all gone Dad said he gave it to my sister because I could not take it on the plane or across into the US ummm yes dad I can! than as I'm packing the rest of my stuff my mom says I'll send the bill for the phonecalls you've made... Gee thanks mom. It would not be so bad if my sister and her husband both didn't work but they both make $30.00 per hour working 40+ hours per week and it all goes to drugs and alcohol.

the really stupid bureaucratic clerk at the bakery, who ended with the "i'm doing you a favor just this once" when it was their faulty math

The website for a cruise company. My parents are going on a cruise next month, and it is a check in online and print the tickets at home job. They don't have a printer and have asked me to print it for them. But every time I go to the site, check in the details and hit enter it comes up with 'that reservation number can not be found'. An email to the cruise company explaining this came back with the link to the page I'm already using, with the number I'm already using, saying do this, and not acknowledging my actual problem at all.
NFI what to try next.

I am royally pissed off at having to be eternally polite to a major-league jackass/putz/etc. The man in question is the long-term companion (20 years by now) of the widow of one of Mr.W's best friends who died of a heart attack in his 50's. Mr.W and I both like her and can't stand him. The irony is that we introduced them when we were all out in the same crowd at an event. Mr.W was casually acquainted with the guy through a professional association.
Every once in a while I think the guy is starting to mellow a bit, but nooooo! It becomes impossible to utter a simple sentence in his presence without his turning it into a major catastrophe, or to try to do a simple task in his presence without his "helping" in the most condescending and infantilizing way. Sometimes she tells him to back off, but I don't dare say "fuck off - I'm an adult, older than you, in fact, and can handle this myself - etc etc" He's a professor. I pity his students and am glad I'm not one, although he hasn't figured that out yet after considerable factual back-chat from me re some of those simple sentences.
We manage to avoid him when he's on his own, but when she's there, there's no way out.
rant, etc., ad infinitum

work: i don't have to do paperwork A this cycle, and naively assumed this meant i didn't have to do paperwork B since they're connected and also no one gave me a deadline. gues what! i have to do it! and no one has the same deadline to tell me!
and also, i have to write 3 exams over the next three days! to give to my boss! who didn't tell me aobut this!! (someone else asked me if i was done, and then gave me the deadline).
at myself--i didn't liaise with someone i'm supposed to, and now i have to guess at what i'm doing with her students tomorrow. so, overplan and hope for hte best.

Today? i am pissed off every day the moment i walk up because of my 'will not get better' arthritic knees. I am so over using the electirc scooter, but i need it to give jstd a proper walk. In any case, it is bound to pack it in at any time now, because it had a hard life with the friend who gave it to me. (that's why she gave it to me, because she was getting a new one, and it wasn't worth trying to sell) I would love to have one, but they cost way more than i can afford. I am also pissed off because i have been depressed for months, and despite the meds, can't seem to do anything but watch tv and play on this damn machine.

The french government. I have to pay almost €4000 in extra tax between now and the end of the year. And my monthly payment will go up €400 a month next year, even though I've had not salary increase in the past few years. Very soon I wont be able to afford to continue to live/work here.

Background. Our washing machine is in a cupboard outside the front door of the flat.
Someone stole my carton of washing powder from the cupboard some time in the last day or so!
Cheeky fucker. I think I'll get CSI Sarf Lahndun on to it......
