It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before (like every week), 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 that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~So B and I were watching the Games last night and we are curious. Do some of the athletes have jobs other than, well, being athletes? Like if you are a bobsledder, do you make enough from sponsorships and prize money to sustain the costs of the equipment and competitions and living expenses and everything? Or no? I know like a Shaun White has tons of sponsorships, but how about other athletes?
~Speaking of the Games, if I see the Chevy Tahoe “Babysitter” commercial one more time I am going to lose my mind. It must have been on 10 times last night. You know what it makes me want to do after seeing it so many times? NOT buy a Tahoe.
~Why is it if you are 5 minutes late to an appointment it’s basically the end of the world, yet if the salon or doctor’s office is running an hour behind, oh that’s just normal? Drives me totally insane. Can no one call and say, oh hey, we’re running a bit behind? No one? Or at least maybe act like they care? Because I find it a tad annoying to be left sitting in a waiting room without any updates about what on earth is happening!
~Last week I got a letter from the post office which included a shipping label from one of B’s books I’d sold on half.com. The letter basically said it had become detached from the package (?) and they had no idea where the contents of the package were. Huh? If you have ever gotten a package from me, you know I tape those labels on with packing tape so how it fell off is beyond me. I had a packing slip in the book, so I am hoping that somehow it got sent along on it’s way, but who knows. The buyer clearly hasn’t missed the book since they never e-mailed me to say it didn’t arrive and also never responded when I told them what happened. Maybe it did arrive? Who knows. But really, how did the label perfectly fall off my package?
~And finally, L is off school this week for Winter Break and the original plan of him heading up-north for a few days didn’t happen, so now we are without a plan! Anyone around this area know of any great last minute deals for next weekend? Or fun shows in town or anything? Or just something fun in general?
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
