It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~I live in a new construction subdivision, so it’s no surprise there is, umm, new construction going on. They are building houses left and right over here. But this latest batch of construction crews, omg, they are bananas. First of all, they like to work and they work a lot! They start before 7am and seem to be their loudest at that time. Wait, maybe that’s because I am sleeping?? I’m sure the resolution to this would be to get up earlier huh? However, the real issue (to my neighbors anyways) is that they keep knocking the power out. It’s gone out twice in the last week. Yesterday I believe it was out for 4-5 hours?? Our lines are underground and they keep digging right into them. Oopsies. All around me yesterday, my neighbors were discussing the outages on FB (until their phones died anyways) and I was all huh? I live smack in the middle of them and my power was fine. So random. I’m certain I’ll get mine though.
~B STILL has that d*mn beard. It was hot last week, but now, I’m over it. Over it. Get rid of that thing already. Two nights ago I had a dream he shaved it and woke up ALL excited and reached over and rubbed his face. Totally woke him up. But did I care? No. Because the beard was still there!
~I have asked this before, but no one had an answer, so I’ll ask again. Does anyone know where I can get pictures (like back in the day when we’d actually have print pictures to see them), scanned and put on a disk? Like is there a company you know of that does this? My Dad asks me about this all the time, but I have no idea? I’d scan them in myself, but yeah, ain’t nobody got time for that!
~When I go somewhere (like the Post Office or redeeming lottery tickers or something) where I have a lot to do, I always feel so badly for the people behind me because I am going to be taking FOREVER. Do I let people go in front of me? I mean if there is one person and we walk in together and they have one thing, that’s a no brainer. But at what point do you stop letting people go in front of you? Or do you just say screw it, I waited in line too and I’m getting my stuff done?
~Detroit had their annual fireworks show last night and, as always, it was broadcast here locally. Even with the music they choreograph, I find them to be less than exciting on tv. I love fireworks. In person. But on tv? Meh. It’s just not the same. Does anyone else find this to be the case? Am I doing it wrong? Should I be watching in the dark with surround sound or something?
~And finally, the last trouble of the day is about Fancy Box. Oh Fancy Box, I don’t know what we need to do to get on the same page about the fact that you billed me 3 times and only sent me 2 boxes, but I’d like to get this settled pretty soon. Like today.
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
