Doing work I shouldn't have to do... because the person who should be doing it is someone I have to suck up to... because he has the power to assign me better work and pay me for it.

That fucking ad that's always alongside my Yahoomail recently with a makeup brush repeatedly flying across a picture of a woman's face. It never stops. It can't fucking be stopped. I would give up peripheral vision to never have to see that ad again.

1,466

Though it is nice to get $600 from G-Dub, I just have to wonder where exactly that money came from...

1,465

That those hundreds of thousands of dead people don't seem to matter as much to Americans as...well, any number of tiny American news stories.

1,464

That hundreds of thousands of people's lives can be erased by natural disasters in a matter of days.

1,463

Self-Dramatizing. It's so fucking infuriating to be this integral to the functioning of the universe!

1,462

Being the bitch that threatens the mac techs with filing a complaint with the BBB if they don't either reinstall your software or refund the document recovery fee they charged you without telling you you would be unable to open your "recovered" documents.

1,461

Not having the original software to reinstall on your mac and being too poor to purchase said software.

1,460

Getting your computer back, finally, only to find every piece of software that was on it is now gone.

1,459

Finally getting your computer back from repair and realizing every bookmark you ever created is lost.

1,458

Spending multiple hours on the phone with Verizon to get them to do the things they promised to do in order to get you to switch to their long distance plan in the first place.

1,457

Searching for the perfect receptionist for months, hiring and training her, only to have her quit two weeks later after getting pregnant and deciding to move back home. Damned fertility!

1,456

Snarky headshot photographer who advertises that he will email you a rate sheet upon request. Instead, he calls you twice in a row (on a holiday morning, no less) and leaves almost the exact same message both times because he can't remember that he JUST called you. Eventually you get a hold of him and he asks you what you WANT to pay. If you tell him a lower price than his going rate, he belittles you. I suppose if you tell him a higher price, he tries to pad it even further. Screw you, dude. You aren't THAT good.

1,455

Packed perfect bag of Memorial Day BBQ leftovers to keep the patriotic picking going all week. Left bag at my parents' house because I got pissy and kinda sorta stormed out. What I wouldn't do for a cold chicken sammy today. Serves me right, I guess.

1,454

Griffith Park on fire again!!

1,453

We found the Oh My God Most Absolutely Perfect photographer for our project and we are waiting anxiously for her to get back to us and every minute is like agony.

1,452

I've been going to all these great casting director workshops, which are filled with good information from good sources, but the last four I've done, I've been given cold reading roles where I speak about three sentences and I'm paired with a guy who has these huge monologues. So I'm getting exactly 0.00 opportunity to showcase my abilities for these people. So essentially my money is being wasted. So essentially I am frustrated.

1,451

Delete your drafts, people!

1,450

Extreme stress from family issues causing giant pimplage in middle of face, just in time for wedding pictures!

1,449

Ordering a camera for a wedding and then finding out it is on back order and won't arrive in time.

1,448

Can't get any photographers to call or write us back. Don't people want to work in this town?

1,447

A photographer stringing us along for 6 weeks, quoting us a reasonable price, and then later giving us a final quote of almost $6,000. UH WHAT??

1,446

This weekend, we fell into the abyss of watching the show Lost which is is available online for free, all seasons in HD, and now we can't watch it because no internet at home. Need fix. Getting twitchy.

1,445

Getting conflicting information from AT&T and getting another call in the morning saying they're trying to get the DSL back on, being transfered to someone else who gets mad at David for calling, even though he tells her that they're the ones that have been calling him.

1,444

David being on the phone with AT&T for an hour, only to find out that the DSL can't be turned back on since we ordered the fiber optic, which by the way might possibly not be available for weeks/months.

1,443

The next day, we come home from work and our DSL is turned off. No internet access at home, and we are waiting on photographers to contact us via email.

1,442

Taking a whole day off of work to be home for an 8 HOUR INSTALLATION of new fiber-optic AT&T internet. Guys come to apartment, tinker around for an hour, then tell me, "We can't install today because there is no infrastructure yet in the neighborhood. You're the first one to order this service."

1,441

Just getting blocked in all directions no matter what we try lately.

1,440

When politicians refer to a state as "the great state of..."

Let's be honest, they're not all great.

1,439

Loved ones haphazardly messing with brain chemical-altering drugs.

1,438

The never-ending storm that is a family member's life, and how I always have to be dragged into it.

1437

That a very smart and capable woman who is running for President is doing so by courting the votes of racists and idiots.

1436

Use of the phrase "hard working Americans" as a substitute for "white people."

1,435

Myanmar's government making foreign aid extremely difficult to enter the country. In a crisis of this magnitude it seems unfathomable.

1,434

I only have so much tolerance for ignorance.

1,433

At least one out of every ten people I encounter on a daily basis, however briefly or distantly, is mind-bendingly stupid and/or in my way. Let's say I come nearly into contact with 200 people on the streets of New York, a conservative estimate on a workday. That's 20 times over the course of 10 hours or so -- or once every thirty minutes on average -- that all of the muscles in my body tighten involuntarily and I fantasize about throttling someone.

1,432

iPod commercials. even more annoying than before. is that possible?

My acupuncturist is brutal!

1,430

There are no quick fixes.

1,429

The entire dental industry that is closed on Fridays. Which must mean they think that all dental emergencies occur Monday through Thursday and can therefore ignore the other 43% of the week.

1,428

A recurring gum infection that all anyone can do about (SEVEN specialists!) is say, "I dunno. Here's some antibiotics."

1,427

Twitter.

1,426

*NOT* getting that full night's sleep and dealing with the day with that feeling that your entire head is about 2 dimensions away from everything else.

1,425

The dire straits that necessitate taking an ambien just to get a full night's sleep.
