In Thanks
I have a tendency to work myself into a rage in seconds. I can’t deal with small, annoying problems that build up into big ones. Like the past few days. The room assignments have been horrid lately, just stupid cases full of annoyed people, I got called for jury duty AGAIN (second time in 1 year) for 20 December (Godless bastards), Best Buy says they never got my rebate for the Razr, I need paperwork for the new passport and Brazilian visa for February. And then there was yesterday afternoon when I wanted to get stuff done after work and I ended up bringing the wrong paperwork to fax that Best Buy rebate over, I lost my pen, I’m on call today, I have to get to work on the Egyptian temple presentation, I had to pass up U2 concert tickets, my friend’s moving away, I couldn’t find flour or sugar at the CVS. By the time I was stomping home, I was fuming. It’s been one thing after another. But I got to sleep in this morning since my call doesn’t start until 3PM (and I told Jones I’d never speak to her again if she called me in). Some rest later, I can think about being thankful. So what am I being thankful for?
U2- While I had to pass up Buffalo tickets and won’t go the SLC show while family will, I’m thankful for their existence every day. They’re a good thing in the grind of daily life. All I have to do is fire up the iPod or the computer and there they are.
My Mac- It makes things all possible. Thanks, Steve. I just wish people I know were more wired.
South America- I’m going next year, concert or not, and I’m always thankful for vacations. I really need one. I think my being overtired is what’s responsible for my recent bad mood.
My family- Too much of them is too much, but I’m stuck with them and sometimes I’m glad for it.
This is cliche- But I’m still fairly young and fairly healthy and I don’t wear ugly clothes.
Ciao.
