In Protest

As all good liberals are won’t to do, I must stage a protest. My beefs are many, so please be patient.

1. I protest against deadlines. Particularly multiple deadlines that smash into one another to become one massive DEADLINE.

2. I protest against the stubborn nature of some (or could it have been poor listening skills?) who just 15 mins after being asked to request a two week extension on a deadline, requests just ONE. Oh gee thanks.

3. I protest against Board meetings during American Idol (thank gawd not during the finals next week).

4. I protest against TWO Board meetings in the same week.

5. I protest against heartburn.

6. I protest against the Padres. Hey, they are supposed to provide me with a nice distraction from all of the above, not cause more of #5.

7. I protest against the city using a two month billing cycle for water billsm Again. After using a one month cycle for two years. Make up your mind! And really, the two month thing is a real pain for household budgeting!

And lest I sound just TOO bitter this week. I am thankful for one supportive co-worker giving me the weekend to prepare the monthly monster file which *should* be due Friday. A modicum of relief was felt over that (though now you know the fun I will have this weekend). I am also thankful for the three containers of sour gummy worms in my kitchen courtesy of DS1. Those should help get me through the week. Well, as soon as #5 above goes away that is.
