Get Your Grump on Thursdays - Was (What's chapping my @ss today?)

[boxerboxer]

Amateur triathlete culture drives me inordinately crazy. No good reason. Can't help it.

People who are not blind or otherwise disabled who bring their dogs into the grocery store.

College students bug me lately too. Maybe its just the frat dudes and sorority girls but it might also be the whole lot. College students who smoke are particularly irritating.

Amazon. I don't want to sign up for fucking Prime. And you've made the whole thing such a hassle to use if you don't have Prime that its reaching the point where I'd be just as happy to buy elsewhere.

I haven't ridden in 4 weeks. That's one f u c k i n g month. My mental health is suffering. My Gaulzetti is sick of resting.

Your support network is standing by.

Today is my wife's birthday and instead of spending the day celebrating with her I'm in back to back to back meetings and so stressed with corporate crap that I know I'll be a drag later. My grump is with myself for letting my job cross any reasonable boundaries with the things that should matter most in my life.

Still have stitches in the back. No riding for two weeks. Good news is that they are coming out this afternoon.

I am a mailman...today we got 18 inches of snow...some folks are great about clearing out their boxes so I can drive up...I am a Rural carrier...others...they have a five foot drift of snow in front of their box and will call my boss and ask "why didn't I get any mail today?" I tell my boss to ask them this: " look out your window...now tell me what you see..." bingo, we have a winner...of course he won't do this as the customer is ALWAYS right, yes?

as I said, some folks are great, others just total idiots...human nature via intelligence and expectations and laziness...seems to run at about 9 to 1...on the bad side...

Another dept head likes to avoid our Creative Dept and design her own logos. We end up fixing them, but not before cursing yet another poorly-kerned, free-downloaded font with accompanying swoosh.

Morgan Stanley. Fees. Bleh.

This year has been shit. Can't catch a fucking break. Probably going to have to move home.

Was having a wonderful vacation day and then my wife gets roped into a two hour conference call...

[David Tollefson]

I'm still at work. This is the third of probably the only three nice days in the last two weeks (and also the following two weeks, if the forecast is to be believed), and this will be the second of those days that I'll likely miss riding.

All because another organization held my job hostage for two days beyond their analysis window.

Pro bono 'customers' that call and and email and text me WAAAAAAY more than my paying customers.

Chill out, you're not paying anything. it'll get done when its done.

I'm tired of the proliferation of "dog friendly" places, especially restaurants. No, I don't want your nasty little fluffy staring at me as I eat.

Spurs just got battered at home against Benfica in the Euro League......over paid shit footballers with no heart for the club are getting on my tits tonight.

[donevwil]

Saw the Dr. today, 4 more weeks off the bike MINIMUM! I've got a brand new, not yet ridden Potts waiting and the week's forecast is for more beautiful CA drought weather. FU@% !!

[Dave Wofford]

who decided every electronic gizmo has to make beepy noises.

the push buttons on the phone, the toaster oven, the microwave, the washer dryer, you name it.

where's the mute button on all this shit?

[EricKeller]

I saw the ear doctor yesterday, the scheduler was supposed to call me today for the operation to restore the hearing in my right ear, but no such luck.

where's the mute button on all this shit?

our microwave actually has a mute button, which is good because it will sit there and beep every minute until you take your food out after it's cooked.

Postholers!

Caleb, back me up.
