How come it's so cold in LA right now?

1279

Valentine's Day cards with prefabricated poetry. It's the one day a year we should at least be able to squeeze out an original haiku for our lover, right? They should all be blank cards, and made of velvet and lace and ribbons and feathers. And hand made, while I'm at it.

1278

When people hurt my friends.

1277

Expired canned goods. I had no idea I had been carting around cans of inedible crapitude for one or even two previous moving cycles.

1276

My cat is suspicious of the box situation and is clearly displeased with me.

1275

Paying some jokers to manage the office server and it crashing once a year when it gets too full. So what does their "maintenance and dignostic fee" actually go towards every month? Can't they maybe see the memory is almost full and provide a solution before the whole thing crashes?

1274

Having to remove 6 door hinges and work a tire iron to remove said locked doors and flip the godammned breaker.

1273

Having the power go out at work and finding the doors to the breaker box mysteriously locked.

1272

1,267

Just overheard in the office: "I like to keep them separated. I'll go with my wife to a ballet, and I'll go with my wife to a play, but I won't go to a musical." #*%&($#*&%(@&#!

1,266

Popcorn in your cleavage.

1,265

The "Loft" trend.

1,264

That most property owners in Los Angeles seem to think a stainless steel appliance justifies a $400 - $500/month rental hike.

1,263

Getting an email forward from a family member about making sure not to elect a Pro-Choice president and endorsing Huckabee, Romney, and McCain. Guhghghghhg.

1,262

Keeping the faith. Fuck this shit.

1261

Looming pauperdom.

1260

Having to wonder how much deposit I'll get back, as multiple things have crumbled in this place. Not my fault the landlo' used unsealed plastic pipes under the sink, installed floor base so cheap it is seperating from the walls of its own accord, and used bargain basement window whose locks fall off if you look at them funny.

1259

Invisible, yet very wet puddles.

1258

Cleaning upholstery. Can't it be made a bit easier than a backbreaking hose attachment that covers 3" of material at a shot. Can't that Dyson guy do something about this?

1256

Scratched DVD's.

Contracting a cold from said watery moving experience.

1251

Moving a washer and dryer in a rainstorm because of someone's obstinacy, other than your own.

1250

The wheezing that engulfs me everytime I move. Why can't I dust more regularly?

1,247

That I think this is 1,249.

1,246

Still identifying completely with the people in those sinus pressure commercials.

1,245

The archetypical Los Angeles Landlord.

1,244

The fact that every, single thing in your line of sight at all times is the likely result of an unnecessary meeting.
And that someone was very bored during it.

1,243

Arrogant Marlboro Man co-worker, upon learning Heath Ledger was dead, laughing and exclaiming in oh-so-hilarious fashion, "get your Joker products now!"

1,242

Identifying completely with the people in those sinus pressure commercials.

As well as those interested in "Bare-Knuckle Brawls" the DVD. (Vs. IV)

Trying to relate to people talking about the all new American Gladiator.

Missing everyone so much and wishing I could go right back, in spite of all the bs.

1,222

Not being able to spend enough time with the people I love hanging out with most.

1,221

The absolute inevitable Albuquerque Head Cold that happens every time I visit.

1,220

Kids with way too much sugar and not enough sleep, discipline, or boundaries.

1,219

Teaching people how to do something on their computer ten times, even WRITING IT DOWN, and the second we're gone...*poof*

1,208

You did WHAT with $8,000 and a biscotti company?

1,207

I swear to god: real, honest-to-christ human remains in my dad's office.

1,206

This person hates that person, and this person can't stand to be around that person, because of wrongs from 30 years ago.

1,205

What can only be described as Albuquerque Lethargy, or the sapping of your essential life force that takes place at a slow and insidious rate.

1,204

Moriarity. End of story.

1,203

"They only recycle black and white newspapers. You can't recycle anything else here."

1,202

No one in the entire freakin' city of Albuquerque seems to know how to recycle, nor do they care. EVERYTHING goes into the trash.
