parking spots

I have a busy block. Lots of people live on it and every house has on average 3 cars. That with the drug dealers a few houses down sometimes its hard to find a spot, especially on the weekends, but there is usually at least one on the block somewhere close-ish to my house.

Last night there were NO spots on my block or the cross streets. I had to park 2 blocks away. This wouldn't be horrible normally. But having my laundry to carry and idiots to deal with while they smoke weed in the middle of the street made it aggravating. At least they stopped their thumping music out of their cars early.

Utilities

Allstate - Stop charging me so damn much for crappy car insurance. I can get crappy car insurance for 1/2 the price from Geico. Also take the money I owe you out of my bank account. I keep getting excited for having so much money then remember I haven't paid you yet. Also let me into my account online. Its been almost a month since I switched states for insurance. I should be able to look at my account online.

Comcast - Just let me into my account with out me having to enter the same set of user name/password combos 4 times before realizing that the first one I entered was in fact correct. Also why do my bills go up by a few cents each month?

Gas/electricity - Stop costing so much.

California - Stop taking more money each month. I got a tiny raise and you are eating away at it an extra 3 bucks every month. That's coffee bitches!

Credit cards - I hate you less than the others this month so you get off... for now.

Phone - I love you. You can do me no wrong. *hugs new iphone*

Grumpy at myself

I completely forgot a step in a protocol I was conducting today, which made the experiment useless. Stupid brain!!!

Just going home and grump to myself.

Data

When I spend an entire day compiling data I sure as hell expect it to turn out the way I expect or opposite of what I expect. Either of these outcomes would be of interest. Why I do not expect is something that makes no sense what so ever. Its incredibly frustrating.

As a side note. Excel needs be more user friendly. Or at least more fast user friendly. I just want it to go as fast as I need it to go.

Le sigh. Time to start experiments over.

target and grocery shopping on sundays

Need I say more.

I think not.

Note to self: Do neither of these things on Sunday again... ever.

mercury bulbs

For the love of all that is good. If I'm bitching about the mercury bulb being funky/old and hear me asking about how long I should wait to replace it for it to cool down don't turn it back on. Are you trying to kill us all from mercury poisoning? Or just get the lab locked down for a week while it gets decontaminated?

Jackass.

grumpy travelling

1) 5 hour delay in Newark when destination is 3 hour drive from Newark. Though better than Newark currently

2) Halfway through 5 hour flight home small girl pukes on my stuff. Not a little either. Then 1 hour layover. Then 2 hour flight. Then hour commute. Club soda does not clean up puke nor the smell. Also various other issues with this leg... though they pale in comparison.

I got it karma. Think we are even for a while.
