The Most Annoying thing today
It's not so much annoying as it is wearing me down, but the negativity coming from people at work and also on my Facebook page is just getting to be too much. Even when something great happens, there is always someone there to spin it in a negative way or piss in my cheerios. I'm just really worn down by it all!

First of all, the Tube train union announces what amounts to nearly 2 weeks of solid strikes.....then this morning I get to be stuck in a tunnel, for half an hour at least, on one of these lovely trains. Serious hyperventilation going on, luckily it wasn't too hot and I had a seat but if it had gone on much longer think I would have been a gibbering wreck. And what didn't help were a couple of fellow commuters, who started telling each other how long they'd been stuck in a tunnel on previous occasions.

I think I'm fine, Diane. It wasn't a full force kick. Occupational hazard with my seven year old. He really is getting better about the aggressive behaviors, some days he just reverts. That's always depressing. Feels like we've gone back to square one. But then he'll have a good day again and all is right with the world.
We went over our download / upload limit this month for probably the first time ever, and have had to put up with slow Internet that periodically drops out for the last week, and there's still another week to go before the next cycle starts & it goes back to "normal".
It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of reading something & the connection drops out & it takes a couple of minutes to reconnect. It's very easy to lose the thread of the article!

LoveHistory, thank goodness. Here's hoping the weekend is all right with the world.
Today I had no annoyances to kvetch about. Not bad for a Friday the 13th!
