things pissing me off today (in no particular order)

• NYSC - after quitting nysc in april, they have decided to charge my amex card for two months. i have just called them, and to my disbelief - not ONLY did they f*ck up my account, they also can't refund my AMEX card for 7-10 days by CHECK. how f*cking wrong is that???? now i have to fax them a copy of my cancellation because some idiot in billing didn't get it right the first time. o, by the way, did i tell you the reason i left nysc was because the billing was ALWAYS f*cked up? grrrr....
• 3 day weekends - don't get me wrong, i love 3 day weekends. but when i get back to work, my schedule is all sorts of messed up. i was prepping for a meeting that takes place every monday when DUH... it's tuesday. now it's easy-peasy laidback tuesday.
• dieting - so i buy this book yesterday called "bikini fit" and it requires for the first week that you have a liquid diet gradually increasing your food intake. i'm not sure if you've seen me hungry, but i turn into a real b*tch. but that's a warning, people. this diet starts tomorrow.
• july 15th - apparently everyone and their mommas want to do something the day of or weekend of july 15th. gene k. from the accounting division is heading out so his going away bash is on july 15th. kat & jess are heading out on their cruise on july 15th. big t is coming back from being at sea on july 15th. i have to go look at houses in the hamptons the weekend of july 15th. i have a bridal shower to attend on july 17th. *sigh* what a pain. no rest for joy.
• ex boyfriends - get over it already. jesus.
• family communication - in order to avoid any arguments between my brother and myself regarding comments that i don't appreciate (be it regarding my appearance, my viewpoints or his viewpoints), my mother would rather have us be quiet and agree with each other than have a healthy debate. meanwhile his remarks, no matter how un-pc, go running rampant. things like that i just can't stand in my family. i'm afraid if he were to have children and how they would turn out. *sigh*
• people that disregard personal space - i have a coworker - nice guy, a little skeevy but manageable - that has no idea what personal space is. when he comes over to talk to me, he stands so close that i need to crane my neck upwards to look at him. what a pain. isn't the "personal space" radius something like 3-4 feet or something like that?
• people that disregard "end of conversation" ques - same guy, different thing. so he's standing next to me talking about the most inane things that i could care less about. for 25 minutes. i'm doing work here, buddy. well, multi-tasking work here. :-P

that's it for now, but i'm sure there will be more.
