things I have a problem with
For Tuesday:
1. Ritz Crackers - should the C be capitalized? I don't know, but I do know this: not only am I sure the holes have been made bigger, I know for a fact that they don't taste as good as they used to.
2. Gum - didn't there used to be just a few gum choices out there in the marketplace? Why do I have to think so hard when I wish to purchase gum? And why does gum have to have all kinds of fancy-ass names for the flavors? Sweet mint. Fresh mint. Vanilla mint (which, btw, is just all KINDS of wrong). What the hell KIND of mint is it? I like peppermint and I have no qualms with spearmint and, people, WINTERGREEN is not mint.
3. There is some kind of gossiping going on just beyond my office door at this very moment and, for the life of me, I CANNOT hear it. Annoying.
4. Can it be that my new, very cheap, Gap ballet flats are going to rip the living hell out of the back of my heels? CAN IT? If this is true my summer shoe choices are becoming dangerously limited.
5. I admit that I am completely intolerant on the train. I know I am heartless, but if I am listening to my iPod and I know that you are a lawyer and I can hear all about how stupid (your word) your client is, you might want to shut the hell up.
6. Aren't I rant-y today?
7. Office shit-storms. Am now experiencing them. While they have nothing to do with me, it's not fun.
8. Last week it was 50. This week it's 90. I have a problem with that.
9. There is no number nine.
10. Flip flops at work. Okay? I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

At least you don't have a un-expected, un-invited, totally obnoxious houseguest (HS friend of roomate) who has now thrown out his back, and is laying in your floor, eating your food, using your laptop, and talking about how wonderful his adopted country is (every 3.7 minutes). He is from Mississippi, dammit, he has only been living there for 20 years, Shoneys has not changed their breakfast menu that much, so you do not have to wake up my roomate, at 3:00 to say "What's for breakfast?", when you know he has to go to work at 6:00. Damn, Sorry, Deep Breaths, I am feeling kind of rant-y too. I am unable to vent on FB or twitter, because he is now friending me, and I just can't be as rude as he deserves. But I am coming close, real close. Sorry again. Try Crocs flat styles.

Let's all breathe for Kelly, shall we?
The R and the C are upper case in all title. It's catted Title Case. If it was Ritz of Crackers, the o would be lower case because it's a preposition. Sorry, I deal with this kind of thing all day at work.
Maybe Mulberry Girls is/are right, could be the moon. It's the one thing we all have in common. That, and flu fears.
BEST THING THAT MADE ME CHOKE ON MY COKE...customer with a GIANT tattoo across her shoulders that said Big Daddy's Bitch.
Something's in the air, I tell ya.
And here in Orlando, it might be Swine Flu. Somebody at the local hospital sent an inappropriately timed e-mail, about a tourist at Disney that may or may not have presented at the hospital, with what may or may not be Swine Flu.
I'm sad about you being intolerant on the train.
Someone was on the radio today telling a story about their very short great aunt. Apparently, when anyone ever commented on how little/short she was she would simply reply, 'well, they don't make diamonds as big as bricks'.
I do, however, love a good peppermint.
People who wear flip-flops very, very rarely have pretty feet that should be so on display. Also, at work *rolls eyes*
As for gum, I recommend Orbit in any of the normally named mint flavors. It's just regular gum, which I find helpful when #7 is going on at my workplace or just in life in general.
Really. I am going to check out the gum options at my local super market.
I hate when products change something and the consumer can clearly taste/ see the change but the manufacturer doesn't admit it. We are not stupid people.
90 as in degrees?
Today, so far, and TG, seems to be better.
Vanilla mint is actually not too bad. I'm with you on the Wintergreen though. Blech.

No wonder you're rant-y.
4. I walked around all day yesterday with a new pair of Crocs Patricia sandals, and I have no blisters. They are very cushiony, and nobody noticed they were crocs (at least my kids - my own personal fashion police - didn't make any obnoxious comments about them).
If so I have a trick to fix it and save the shoes.
:)
I'm not gonna lie, I kind of enjoy office drama. I mean, I don't start it, and I'm seldom involved in it, but I find it entertaining. Does that make me a bad person?
