I wish to complain that so much of the music I want digitally is out of print. I have cassettes and can convert them, but I want original digital recordings. I suppose it technically is not illegal if I download them since I do own a copy. Maybe I will just do that.

Yesterday I had to pay $7 to sit in a Cheerleading Competition that my daughter was in. It was in a high school gym with a whole lot of cheerleader-type people.

The company I work for is 3 months behind in paying me and my wife's van just blew the transmission.

I wish to complain about Northern Virginia traffic. It should not take 2-1/2 hours to drive 55 miles.

I'm dreading going to work just because it's work. I want to talk to MADDuck all day but he's not here. I have an easy, almost fun job, but I'm very very lazy. I'm going to be at work until 8:00 tonight. I think I have ADD.

Finals week.

Not being able to express myself properly.

I want to complain about Wal-Mart…again. Last night I stopped off to pick up some pictures for my wife. On the way to the developing station, I checked toys. For those who are not in the know, I collect toys, mostly Star Wars, so this is not out of the ordinary. I happened to find the two new Wal-Mart exclusive multi-packs from Jabba’s Palace. I grabbed two of each set, then proceeded to pick up the pictures. Everything was going smoothly at this point. I forgot to mention earlier, so I will do it now. I am in a hurry. My son has a function at his school at 1900 and I was driving home from class at Ft. Belvoir, about 55 miles and Northern Virginia traffic away. It was 1815 at this point. So I head to the front to check out and, as expected, they have only one express lane open and it is backed up with 7+ people. I get in line and it moves slowly, but at least it is moving. Then, a young girl comes up to me and says, “I can take you on 36! I am just opening up.” All I can think is sweeeeet! So I scoot over to her lane and she starts to process me. I make sure to tell her that I do not need any bags and she was cool with it. The transaction goes smoothly and quickly. She says, “Have a nice day!” I replied, “You too!” I am pretty stoked at this point. So I head to the exit and pass the greeter. I forgot to mention, but checkout #36 was on the very end right in front of the greeter. This is an important fact. As I pass her, in a very pissy voice I hear, “Excuse me sir!” I stopped and turned around to see who it was. Sure enough, it was the greeter and she had her hand out. She says, “Give me your receipt!” I hand it to her and say, “You didn’y see me just check out?” She went off. “I’m just doing my job! Blah blah blah blah!” This tirade went on for about 10 seconds, during which she was not checking my receipt. I flipped and said, “Look I am in a hurry and do not appreciate being harassed like this.” She gave me some more crap, so I snatched my receipt and said, “<Bleep bleeping bleep>!” and proceeded to leave in a normal walking pace. She yelled, “Hey! Hey you!” I turned back and said, “I am not a thief, so stop treating me like one!” I kept on going to my car, placed my $118 worth of toys and pictures in my car, and left. For what it is worth, this is not the first incident. I once was held up at another Wal-Mart for 15+ minutes, because I bought 60+ Star Wars figures for over $400 and despite seeing my receipt, the person decided she needed to take all of my figures out of the canvas bags I had carefully and meticulously placed them in. I was livid, to say the least.

I do not wish to complain at this moment. I played poker last night and one of my buddies had his manager come by, again, and this guy is horrible. A few weeks ago I took him for almost $100. Last night I took him for $120. I cannot understand how this guy can throw money away like this. I mean, we play Hold 'Em, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7-Card Stud Hi-Lo, etc. In the 7-Card Stud games, you know four of the other guys' cards. He was calling on seventh street when he couldn't beat what was showing for crying out loud. I suppose that is a bit of a complaint. I'll take the money, but I still am bothered when people piss money away.

My feet hurt from walking around the mall looking for Xmas presents. I hate the mall and I hate shopping for Xmas presents this close to Xmas. I tried to find some nice clothes for my mom, but everything was ugly, ugly, ugly. I find one nice sweater. I looked at jewlery and find nothing I wanted to spend money on there either. Everywhere I went in the mall I saw just crap, crap and more crap. Depressing. I'm hoping my brother makes good on his talk about getting her a flatscreen TV for Xmas. If so, I'll just pitch in on that and be done with it. I'll just take her out to eat somewhere really nice next week.

I would like to complain about my son's preschool teacher. He gets home from school and his cheek is red and there is a note in his backpack telling about how they went out to play this morning and he slipped on the icy grass and fell and hit the ground. Notice I said icy grass, it was anywhere from 24 to 30 degrees depending on what time of morning they took them out! And there is ice everywhere from where it rained so much and the temps fell that previous night! What was she thinking taking them out to play when it was that cold out!! !

I can trash his office for you

I'm annoyed with our cable service provider at the moment. Weeks ago, we scheduled a service call for today for them to hook up Roadrunner, digital phone and fourth cable jack, but they conveniently rescheduled it for Jan 3, and didn't notify us. So I had made arrangements to be home today, only to find out they're aren't coming. Not only are they blaming our current phone company (they have to switch over our phone service from them) for the delay, they claim they called us yesterday to notify us, but no one answered. Yeah, and they didn't bother to leave a message on the answering machine either. Grrrrr.

My complaint - people who whine and b***h are as annoying as hell.

Uhh...err...nevermind. I don't want to be "annoying as hell"!

LOL.



I'm quite peeved with my mother right now. She's done all her Xmas shopping for everyone except for me (granted she had me do her shopping for my brother). So now she wants me to go with her THIS weekend to pick out a present. I've told her what I wanted, weeks ago, yet she's avoiding that issue in her classic Midwestern passive-aggressive way (long story). So instead, she'd rather drag me to the mall on the craziest weekend to force me to pick out something I'll probably won't really want, and have me dismayed about spending money on that instead of what I actually wanted. Of course, I could just decline a gift altogether, and then watch my mom have an emotional meltdown to make me feel guilty. Heh. Merry Christmas!
