So, I have been gone for a minute and it is of absolutely no use to go through all I have gone through. So, I will stay what I refer to as "present focused". Basically, it means that I am handling my business in the here and now. So, my first order of business is a flat out vent.
Below, I will list and rant about things that bug the living hell out of me. I have also learned about myself and I find that as I age the list gets longer. This does nothing for my fear that I will be a curmudgeonly old bitty that lives with 50 cats in my golden years. So pardon me in advance. I am going to make a list, which seems to be the only way that I can stay organized which is also a pet peeve of mine. So, buckle up, here I go...
1. Tattooing over stretch marks. OK, here's the thing. I totally get that it is your body but since I have to look at it, I can speak my mind about your inking choices. The tattoo only makes the stretch mark more noticeable. Please spare the eye owning public this travesty.
2. Making your issue mine. Let's face it--we all got a lot of shit going on. Totally get that. I do my very best to make sure that my shit doesn't spill over onto anyone else. I shouldn't know how miserable you are by hearing your voice. I am the first one to admit that life can catch you and make you feel some kind of way but you have to shake it off.
3. Ungrateful People. I don't need to be appreciated or even for my acts of kindness to be appreciated. What I do need though is for people to not feel entitled. Like you owe them. Like they are so special. Give me a flipping break. A kind act should be returned or forwarded.
4. People who order a huge meal with a diet soda. Self explanatory. I would ban diet soda with any meal over 600 calories, which would be nearly everything at the fast food spot.
5. Cattiness in the workplace. My office is not the place for you to release your inner bitch. I have an inner bitch too. I don't run around unleashing her on colleagues or the world at large so you don't get to either.

Now that I have started typing, I feel less of a need to rant. So, there is my little list of things that I think are simply intolerable. I will pause here to wish my girl AMERICA a Happy Birthday, because I may not be able to say these things anywhere else.
