Annoyances

I hate what ever this little bug I seem to have picked up is. My glands are swollen, and I’m draggy and feverish, with a little headache thrown in for good measure. It feels like the onset of strep (with which I’m all too familiar) but it’s been three days and I have no little white spots. Whatever it is, it needs to go away…

I realized this afternoon that I get almost the exact same feeling of inadequacy from reading both personal ads and employment ads. I always find one ad which seems to be an absolute perfect fit until I read the one glaring area in which I don’t quite measure up. That’s probably why I read employment ads infrequently, and why I look at personal ads about once a year or so…

More annoyances for a Tuesday afteroon:

  • Idiots who stand about 15 feet behind the next person in line at a fast food counter, so you never know if they’re actually IN line or just wating for someone.
  • These same idiots when they get all pissy after you step into the line you didn’t realize they were in.
  • These very same idiots when they still haven’t decided what they want by the time they finally get to the counter (after staring at the menu for ten minutes from a considerable distance).

I’m going back to bed now. Tomorrow, we’ll discuss idiots who stand in lines using cell phones…

Strep

The white spots have arrived, signalling the beginning of my annual case of strep…

I know there has to be at least one doctor reading this: wanna provide an uninsured web guy with a prescrpition for Erythromycin via email tonight, saving me from a day of pain and a hugely unpleasant trip to the South of Market Health Center tomorrow afternoon? I’ll make it up to you…
