I am going to be cranky.
Just a few things that have been on my mind lately....pissing me off.
1) Newlyweds Nick and Jessica are in their third season. Just how long is it before you are no longer considered newlyweds. Three years is definitely past that point! Plus the only reason that their show is still on is because Jessica Simpson is a hottie. If it was just two people from this dimension, that show would have tanked long ago.
2) Freddy and Kendra won the Amazing Race 6. These two models have about a teaspoon of charisma and an ounce of intelligence between them and the only reason that they won was chance. Sheer luck. Luck in the airport, and luck in getting a taxi.
3) I was thinking about American Idol, and how this one guy who sucked, and was skewered by Simon said that he never even performed in front of Simon. The producers that he did perform in front of were no bodied, and the show even admitted it was "creative editing" but that those were Simon's true reactions when he saw the tape of the off-key horror. It just seems a little sleazy when a show does something like that without being up front about it. Makes you wonder how many other times it has happened.
4) I think I have a crappy router. I occasionally set up my computer to perform large downloads all night, but more often then not, when I get up in the morning, my computer has lost its internet connection, and wasted a lot of time not downloading. That never happened before I attached a router to the cable modem set-up that I have. Maybe when I get our tax refund I will purchase a wireless router, and send this NETGEAR piece of crap back due to warranty issues. Then sell the replacement on eBay. Wireless routers are capable of using the Ethernet cables that we currently have, it would just make it so that any future computers we purchase (hahaha) would be able to use wireless instead of being tethered to our library room (Sounds better then saying the other half of our living room, which has a ton of packed bookshelves).
5) Since I am being cranky, I am still pissed at a lot of other things, including Border's Books and Music in Rochester, NY, for being completely unreasonable about giving me time off for special events, such as MY WEDDING, THE BIRTH OF MY DAUGHTER, AND THEN A YEAR LATER THE BIRTH OF MY SON. If I hadn't been there when they told me that if I needed time off I would have to quit, and then put in an application when I was ready to come back. I was only a SUPERVISOR requesting two weeks of unpaid leave, after serving that store for more then 4 years. In terms of a retail job, that was quite a lot of seniority that I had built up, and it didn't count for squat.
6) I have never known the power of such destruction as a 2 year old, and a 3 year old. In the space of a heartbeat, Ryan and Holly can absolutely make it so that you can't see the floor in the living room. Is this normal!!!!!???? I can't imagine how it would be with one child, but these two definitely build off each other, and push each other to greater lengths. Usually that is good, but sometimes we all suffer.
7) And lastly, do you know how depressing (Thursday and Friday nights) it is to spend and hour or so making a nice dinner, and then have to leave without being able to sit down with the family and enjoy it. I zip off to work, and end up with a tupperware of leftovers, or a boring, boring, boring sandwich. I value my time at work, it is nice to get out of the house, but that is probably one of the toughest parts about leaving.

Wow! you had a lot to say. As for American Idol - it can bite me! Your router, don't know much about that kind of stuff, or kids for that matter. Work and time off - i am sorry they gave you a hard time. That's work for ya, making the challenges in life all the more challenging. We all have our cranky days. And I am not sure what these people are saying about their companies on their blogs - but I wouldn't put something on the internet that would get me fired. We all get frustrated with work, but you have to becareful with what you really post. I may bitch to a friend in more detail - but online I try to be more reasonable.
i will leave you alone now!
