Things that suck:

First of all, let me warn you all...one of you was supposed to remove my communication abilities this week and none of you stepped up, so I apologize for anything irrational I say between now and oh, I don't know, the 26th.

Here's the first thing that sucks: Time zones. Like, I am in this one, and he is in that one. Because moments like this, where it's not an emergency warranting waking him up with a call or a text because it's 7:30am there...but I REALLY want to talk to him. Why can't we just be one big, fat, time zone. It's 10:30 here, it's 10:30 there.

Here's the second thing that sucks: Work. Like, I have a job and I hate it. Blah, blah, blah, yes I know I am lucky to have a job. But here's the problem with the kind of job I have. You get hired to do one thing- for example, CARE FOR CHILDREN. And you are told 3687 times that that is the ONLY thing you are supposed to focus on. And that lasts for about 2 weeks. And then slowly, slowly, they start piling other unrelated things on you...can you just catch up on this laundry (which translates to EVERY DAY)? Can you call the pest control and set up an appointment and then sit here for 3 hours waiting for them to show up? Can you coordinate the delivery of our furniture, which happens to fall in the time frame that you need to pick the kids up from school, therefore requiring you to be in 2 places at once...but you can handle that right? I want a job where I have a list of maybe 3 specific things that I have to do every day, and then I just want to do those things and be left alone. Better yet, I don't want anyone telling me what to do at all, I just want to write and get paid for it. Maybe I should quit being so damn lazy and do something about that, so that I can.

Here's the third thing that sucks: I am mentally checked out of this phase of my life, and I have been for a month now, since the first time I got back from Cali. The issue with that is that I have to wait for the right time to physically check out of it.

I guess those are all the things that I think suck today...for now, anyways.
