Annoyances and Irritants

Must've be watching too much Colbert Report. First person I'm putting on notice is my roommate. I dunno how his wife put up w/ it, but I suppose it's b/c she understands he's a guy. Major peeve is the leaving of dishes in the sink. It's one thing to do it if you're going to be doing the dishes later, or know that it's someone's job to do the dishes later. But the sink is dirty. That is -not- where you put stuff you will use later. Nor is it where you leave your glasses, when there're a perfectly good and empty dishwasher a foot away. Fine if it needs to be handwashed, but goddammit, I've been doing the dishes, whether handwashing them or filling/emptying the dishwasher 80% of the time. And considering for the first couple of weeks I've cooked 80% of the time too...

Speaking of which, I have to get some spices on my beef liver. It's soaked in the milk long enough. Pink milk anyone?

*back* Next irritant, J. It's not just that my bro is a jerk, and living w/ him and my dad was best when I never saw either of them, but at least when I'm living downtown, J won't have an excuse to see me all the time b/c he drove me everywhere. It's always *whine* "when am I going to see you next?" Really. I hate clingy people b/c they're usually weak too. Anyways, he sends me this email, I tell him, yeah I can do this at this time and I want to do that too, and then he sends me another email asking me if I want to do this and also do that. Didn't I just say that?! And hell, not only did I say it, I wrote it, and while it may have been at 3 in the morning, it was a hell lot more coherent than what he wrote back at 10 at night. I looked at it and was going to reply but it just made me so mad, it was like screw it.

One of my friends emailed me a 2 months ago saying she was getting married and wanted to know if I could go so she could send an invitation. Since she was across the world, it was "sorry, no." And I didn't really look at the date of the wedding, but I figured it'd be a couple months down the road, so I dawdled on sending her a wedding card. Well, it was actually last month. Geez, great notification. Oh well, at least I'd sent a xmas card.

Grrr, trying to change addresses, and they couldn't find my info. WTF? Rep was ok, but it's still irritating that I have to waste a stamp to do it. Considering I had the actual letter they sent me w/ all my acct info...

I'll see if today I can get stuff done. Still have to correct the contract w/ the building, my roommate was supposed to do it, but as usual, he didn't/forgot. I had to remind him to clean up the stove b/c his pot boiled over, since he was just about to go into his room to play my game on his PS2. And it's not like a little mess, it really covered the stove. Yes, I nag, but dammit, if you say you're going to do something, you probably should when the promise wasn't made to yourself.
