25 things

in my mind this was going to be longer but it's late and i'm tired. plus i usually avoid adding more negativity to the world for fear of karmic bitchslap but somethings are better addressed using the outside voice:

25 things that piss me off:
25. waking up early
24. bad coffee
23. waking up early to bad coffee with a hangover
22. finding a dead battery on my iPod at the gym
21. my soon-to-be ex-cell phone carrier
20. needy people
19. arrogant people
18. people who think that cubicle walls are soundproof
17. bad kissers (this one's goes out to my sister, lis!)
16. the downward spiral to the big 3-0
15. books with great cover designs that don't grab you in the first 5 pages
14. bad home design shows (i have a degree in painting and it's NOT that easy)
13. SEPTA (it's slippery rail season folks, pls. don't schedule any 9 am meetings, i won't be there)
12. needy family members
11. corporate bureaucracy when it's not in my favor
10. people that don't respect the puppies
9. rainy days in the fall (where's all the great fall foliage? oh, that's right under SEPTA's wheels...)
8. country music (and i like dogs)
7. stupid people who buy dogs and then dispose of them as if they were sweater aunt suzie gave you with the reindeers on it last christmas (unfortunately the sweater really does need to be taken back, no?)
6. genetics for requiring me spend so much time scrutinizing and analyzing my body issues
5. george bush (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy and z. pick your past, present and future generations of oil men)
4. holy-roller-god-fearin' people who feel the need to save over the world by saving us from ourselves. thank yaaaa, jeeee-sus (and allah. buddha never hurt anyone.)
3. people who fear hurt animals, little people or older people (being forced to talk to those holy rollers leads me to believe there is a special level of hell reserved for them.)
2. feeling like i have no time for anything of importance in my life these days
1. picking up the messes others leave behind... muddy pawprints, destroyed databases, silk ties found left in the refrigerator crisper bin.

there you have it folks, a step-by-step guide to staying on my good side.
