...well, not hate. Hate is a strong word.

See this is that Libran 'fairness' thing. I'm not into star signs at all, but I've noticed that that's the one thing that seems to be mentioned consistantly.

I want to rant on about how much my life sucks (cos that's how I FEEL right now) but every time I think thoughts like that, it's like this other part of my brain immediately goes 'Well, that's not true, is it? You have a great quality of life, a decent job, a family, and wonderful friends and the internet. Lots of people have sucky, sucky lives. Get over yourself.'

And then I feel guilty.


This is all because I already fucking worked today and now I have to go back and work another shift because 3 out of 4 of the staff called in sick this afternoon. (This doesn't happen).

So, already really cranky about this I had to replace an order for a customer.

'I DID SO ask for a wing!'
'Did not.'
'DID SO.'
'DID NOT,'
'You don't have to THROW IT DOWN. The customer is ALWAYS RIGHT.'
'Not when they fraudulantly use other people's cards to get discounts they're not!'

(There's a much longer rant to go with this customer, starting a week ago, probably just as well I didn't get around to setting up the voice post *sigh*)

But I've got home and had time to read Icarus' John/Rodney iceskating AU WIP which made most of the rage go away, and then a Jack/Daniel fic by her that didn't quite work for me, oddly, this writer used to have the same effect on me when I read her HP fics.

Also, sometimes 'effect' and 'affect' hurt my brain.

Also, I don't understand how some people can go through life being angry all the time. I mean, I get angry, but leave me alone for about 10 minutes and I usually get over it - this staying angry, this ball of - something - in my chest - makes me feel sick and unhappy. How do people be angry and not be miserable about it?

Eh, enough existential angst.


(Yes I often use 'existential' inappropriately. I'm wacky like that.)

[livejournal.com profile] psycho_tabby had her 21st birthday party on New Year's Eve. There was chocolate cake. Also prawns on sticks, a multitude of spiders lurking in a suspicious manner over our heads (I was worried it was going to turn into a scene from Harry Potter) and there was Dee! Home from Canada! And 21. And my friends were there. And Dee's nice family. And sparklers! I had much fun :)

And then there was the inevitable discussion about the updated death toll and how countries should be donating more...

And look! They are. And maybe it is a bit of a pissing contest, as the article says, but I have to think that it's because the scale of the tragedy just keeps escalating. The newspaper this morning proclaimed "127 000 dead, that number to double."

ExpandOn that discussion and Zebra's post... )
