Whiny me

I try not to be whiny and complain but some days it's just so hard not to. Like today.

First of all, there are far too many stressed out drivers on the road. This morning took the cake though. And because this guy was tailgating everyone, I was extra mean and stopped at every yellow signal when he was behind me. Jerk. Twice he had to swerve to keep from hitting someone. Dude, lighten up!

Second, you know I love to decorate...for everything. Especially at work :-) This month I have lots of Halloween Beanie Babies sitting around my cube. On my counter I have a dancing skeleton and a BIG bowl of candy. I like having visitors at my cube. BUT...if one more person comes to my cube - for free candy - and complains about the choices of (free) candy, I'm taking the bowl home. Some guy just said, "you should have..." I said, "buy your own damn candy. This isn't a candy store and there's no menu." His eyes got real big, he leaned back and said "excuse me" You're not excused. That was rude. Grrrr. I get SO SICK of gimme gimme gimme. Well, I will say though, there are lots of folks who come by, grab a treat and say thank you too. But those rude butt heads ruin it for me sometimes.

My last whiny thing is about odor. Have you ever seen the movie K-Pax? (It's one of my favorites) There's a guy in the nut house who is there because he says everything stinks. Not metaphorically but literally. Today, there are a lot of unpleasant odors around. Maybe I just notice more because my sinuses are a little more open? Maybe the world is just a little smellier today. I should have noticed right off this morning when I thought "you girls smell" when the dogs came to lay on me. They have no idea what tonight means for them...baths!!!

I think I'll take a walk at lunch. Walking to the tunes of Motown always makes me feel good.
