nothing annoyed me today , and that annoys me.
i like to go to sleep in a gentle condemnation of what i do not approve of, but lately i approve of almost everything, so it is hard to get to sleep. there must be something wrong happening.
i wish i did not feel that i will eventually have to pay in some way for the fact that my life is so easy.

One of the children at the daycare that I run keeps biting another child and I'm going to have to discharge him because he does it every time he's here and it keeps getting worse. The other child's dad is furious that his son keeps getting bitten. They;re toddlers. I feel bad but I don't like biting either and this can't go on.

My dad and I are always on tensely neutral terms, and we can go from being friendly to being hostile towards each other in the blink of an eye.

During the day, I always keep one glass with me to refill with lemonade at my leisure. I was sitting at the table with my empty glass (fully intending to refill it) when out of nowhere, my dad gets up and grabs it. I tell him not to take it to the sink, but when he turns around, I see that he has grabbed the glass with his thumb and forefinger, with his forefinger reaching deep into the glass. I tell him never mind, because it has his germs in it now. When I look at my dad's face, I discover that he is giving me the dirtiest look imaginable. :?

I didn't do very well this quarter in college. I'm a little bit bummed. I always start out doing great with these things, but it doesn't take long for me to get cold feet and try to hide from it. The only problem is, I can't hide the next time around. I'll be paying for this coming quarter on my own, and paying my family back for the money they spent on me.
I need to learn better ways of dealing with stress, other than getting snippy with everyone around me, or hiding away in my room. It's time to grow up. It was time to grow up years ago. But really. Now it's time to grow up. And I'm scared. I'd rather have just one more year to pretend like I'm not behind in my responsibilities. But that one year always turns into two more. I'm all out of excuses for leading the life that I do and if I don't change, I'm going to lose my friends, my family and my hope for a better life.

It's such an odd state of mind. I'm unhappy and afraid, but exhilarated at the prospects of change. If I manage to turn my life around, it will be this stage of my existence that I'll look back at for strength in future areas of growth. There are two roads. One heads for a cliff, and the other leads me into a forest with wolves at my back.

It was a lady's last day at work today. She'd been there for 26 years. She's still working for the firm though, just that she'll be doing it from her new home 4 hours away in Tamworth.

Lost of people shed a tear during her farewell lunch. I being one of the few who remained emotionally unaffected (surprisingly enough). I feel kinda bad that I was so stony faced, but I've never considered myself close friends with any of my workmates. They like to go on at work about being a big family but emotionally/socially I've never felt a part of it. Maybe it's something I'll finally feel when my time ends there (I doubt it though, no farewell party for me thanks dudes, I just want to leave).

Eh, I shouted her a coffee this morning and gave her a hug this arvy so I'm not a total cold b***h.

We have lived in our new place for 6 months now and I'm still stuck sitting in the dark because there is no light in the living room and my mother won't get one. She also won't get the phone jack I want to use fixed so all this time I have to have my internet cord strung across the living room like a tripwire. I already tripped over it once and knocked my laptop on the floor.

i am playing a reasonably old (but satisfying) game called "empire earth II", and i am unhappy with many aspects of the game.

the most annoying thing about the game (other than the idiotic path finding characteristics of the units) is the lack of attention to minor details by the programmers.

one can slow down the game to 5% (while one micromanages citizens for example) by repeatedly pressing the minus key "-", and the game speed will be briefly displayed on the screen after an alteration of game speed occurs.

when i am at 5% game speed and i hit the minus button again, it says on screen that the game speed has been reduced to 5%! ! that is an incorrect report. the game was already at 5% game speed when i pressed the minus button, so the game speed was not reduced at all. after repeatedly pressing the minus button, and seeing the same message "game speed has been reduced to 5%" over and over, i was quite annoyed.

then i wondered whether the programmers were equally sloppy about the message at the upper end of the game speed. i pressed the "plus" button until i got to 160% (maximum) game speed, and i pressed it a hundred times more after that, and i got a hundred screen messages (that disappear after a few seconds) telling me that "game speed [was] increased to 160%"

it does not matter how many times i press the "plus" button, i still get the message that my game speed has increased.
i do not like to be told lies.
