Pet Peeve

It really annoys me when someone asks you an opinion on how to do something, because you have knowledge that they don't, and then they do it the way they were going to do it before ANYWAY! Dude. Why did you waste my time asking me if you were going to ignore what I had to say? GRRR. They don't realize that, combined with the annoyance of dissertation editing, my hormonal fluctuations make them take their very lives in their hands when they do such things.

Example: We are rebuilding our deck in our back yard. Part of the process meant that we had to cut down a bunch of bushes. These bushes are now brush. Our neighborhood collects brush on SATURDAY. See what today is? Monday. Yes. So my handyman said "do you mind if I use this trashcan to put out this BRUSH for the garbage men to pick up TODAY?" I told him that they would probably not pick up the brush today. It has happened before. So he said "Okay." I went back to writing, then looked out the window and there is the brush sitting in a recycling bin in the front, which I am quite certain someone will have to drag in (notice I said someone. NOT ME)later today. ANNOYING!!!!!!

Anyway. Back to the dissertation writing. I'm thinking later today I may do some work on the Buffy chapter, which means watching the season seven episodes I'm discussing over & over again. If it sounds like fun rather than work, it is, in some ways. It also is work. But perhaps work I'm more in the mood for than typing. Pfffhhhhtt! :)
