Current pet peeves:
1) Comparisons between Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK Jr. has been accused of spousal abuse). Really? Because they're both black and care about civil rights? Isn't that a little bit of a stretch?
2) John Kerry, Mr. Whitey McBland, endorsing Barack Obama. This cannot be a check in the "positive" column. I do like how he's refuting the argument that Obama is seeding "false hope." He is actually kind of being classy about the whole thing. I think I might take this pet peeve back.
3) Women who support Hillary Clinton because it's "feminist" to vote for a woman. I would vote a woman into the presidency, no problem. I wouldn't vote for Hillary if you paid me. I'm going to use a term that was thrown around a lot last election: "flip-flopper." There you have it.
4) Those segments on C-SPAN where they have people call in with their opinions to kill some time between events. You'd think the callers would be smart, but they sound like total idiots for myriad reasons.
5) The fact that the cable company was supposed to show up at the house between 11am and 1pm, and it's now after 3pm and we haven't heard from them at all. And the fact that my mother is so wishy-washy that she won't make a call to complain. You are the one that is frustrated with the shitty service. Why do you refuse to do anything?
I'm job searching my ass off and it's at least as stressful as living with my parents. Well, they both give me panic attacks, anyway. I hate Craigslist with the fire of a thousand suns. I hate the terms "team player" and "self-starter" with the fire of a million suns. And don't even get me started on that one job where the duties listed "anything else under the sun!" Or the administrative assistant job for a company that can't be bothered to proofread their ad first. Firefox has built-in spell check. These are two companies that I could never work for (unless they hired me for an editing gig).
Will someone just give me a job where I do some repetitive data entry work in a dark closet for minimum wage for a few months? Please?
