annoyances for the misfit
« Previous EntriesThe Stars Are Once Again Aligned
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010So, I missed getting the plague that was going around the Misfit household.
But I did manage to overdo it over the weekend. I had the chance to go hang out with an old friend of mine and even though I was tired and should have taken a nap before I went, I didn’t. Had a [...]
Rewriting History?
Thursday, January 7th, 2010I get irritated pretty easily, no doubt about that. But nothing drives me more insane than the PC’ing of novels written in a time where sensibilities were far different than today’s. It used to drive me insane when I was working on my BA sitting in class listening to women bitch and moan about the [...]
As The Misfit Turns
Monday, October 12th, 2009Last night and today has felt like a freakin’ soap opera. Seriously, y’all. It’ all started last night when a member of my extended family called the house. I made small talk as I normally do because I don’t get to speak to him too often. If I’d written a script about it, the conversation [...]
The Joke’s On Us
Friday, October 9th, 2009One of the biggest irritations when I was a teacher (yes, I know, all three months of it), was when parents called me when grades were released to inquire as to why their child was either flunking or in danger of flunking. Never mind the fact that I’d sent home mid-term progress reports. This issue [...]
That Which Makes Jimmy Carter Sound Like An Idiot
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009The level of disgust I feel when someone (read: anyone) plays the race card when it’s not warranted is immeasurable. And it’s gotten worse since President Obama took office. I mean, seriously. It drives me absolutely in.sane when people who disagree with the president are immediately labeled as racists. While I don’t doubt there are [...]
I’ve Said It Once…
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009If I’ve said it a thousand times. I really, really hate when people use the race card in a situation where it’s not warranted.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
Bitchy Boxer
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Having grown up in a military family, saying “ma’am” and “sir” was ingrained in me from a very young age. Even though I haven’t spent any time around the military in years, I *still* say it. It is a sign of respect that even members of the military use on a daily basis.
So you can [...]
Huh?
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009Let me get this straight.
Underage girls in the United States can obtain abortions without parental consent, but an underage boy is not legally allowed to decide for himself if he wants chemotherapy? Granted, the mother defied a court order which she shouldn’t have done, but the court order is questionable at best.
Our system is totally [...]
This Is My Life Part II
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009Not quite a month ago, I wrote about some idiot who had snaked my debit card number and had attempted to make fraudulent charges on my checking account.
I ended up calling my bank (collect) since I couldn’t get them to reply to my emails – God forbid someone go the extra mile when it comes [...]
Maniacal Monday
Monday, March 30th, 2009I’m really hoping that today starts off on a better foot than what ended last week. The situation with my bank has been cleared up, though come to find out whoever it was that stole my debit card # tried to charge $1035 and change – which I didn’t know about until I spoke with [...]
