I know, I know.
I have no right to complain.
My life is good, my day was alright, my health is ok, etc.
So anyway, here is today's whiny complainy voice in my head:
Got up early to join Jon at the bank on campus before he began his workday. Radio informed me that a ceasefire has not yet been brokered in Israel/Palestine. More deaths. At the bank, we needed to add my name to Jon's account. It was very very cold and windy, and I forgot my scarf. The bank said that it opened at 9:30am but nobody arrived until about 20 minutes later. Then the bank would not accept my ID because "the only thing they accept is a passport". I walked all the way back in the cold with the laptop in my backpack, ready to start my daily job search. Instead, every cafe that had claimed on the web to have wifi access had no such thing. Over and over, I asked. Over and over, the blank stares from waitstaff. After this went on for over an hour, I gave up and am now at an internet cafe paying to use internet time. Bleh. Oh, and did I mention that we ordered internet for our home, but it takes 3 weeks to get it?? La di da.
So I feel irritated, yes.
But I know these are not *real* problems, yes.
And I'm grateful for that, yes.

I'd say the ceasefire bit qualifies as a real problem. The rest can all be overcome with Guiness. Lovely, thick, life-giving, Guiness.
ReplyDeletethat's an irritating day, and those are all irritating things that happened (minus the ceasefire which is incredibly sad.) so complaining for a moment needs to be done. and so you did. hope you had that guinness afterwards, as i belive mr. goldman was on to something.
