Things that annoy me...

·         People who hardly blog for more than a year.

·         The fact that I have had an unusual antipathy to writing ANYTHING since returning from Peru 18 months ago.

·         Coming into work (seemingly) just so the other 2 people can sit and facebook for 2 hours while I actually do the job

·         Having to drive everywhere: this is two-fold: not being able to walk to work, to the grocery store, to the park, to friends’ houses and not being able to get somewhere far away without being the one driving: I miss the public transportation in Chicago, and I miss the cheap taxis in Peru. What a waste of an hour of my life every day, driving to and from work! I could be reading, doing flashcards, or sleeping! But no- I’m stuck driving behind some dumb driver on SR 19 going 45 mph when traffic could be going 60…  and is that a buggy up ahead?  Sigh.

·         The fact that the 2 seasons of Doctor Who that I want are both 3 weeks overdue, and checked out by the same guy. That’s 50 cents per DVD per day! DUDE- return them!

·         When the inserts in our locking DVD cases get put in upside down, so that instead of unlocking the case, I’m actually locking it. Or vice versa.

·         When, no matter how clearly or often I state: “hablame lentamente, por favor”, the Spanish-speaker continues speaking at a gallop.

·         People who don’t update their blog forever, and then when they do, just fill it with a pessimistic “Things that annoy me” list.
