I hate, hate HATE 2011

As if having a miscarriage wasn't enough, now I find out I have fibromyalgia. A lovely little lifelong malady that will have me in pain forever!  Awesome! NOT! I'm sick sick sick of bad news. I had been holding out some hope that the pain clinic could actually help me. They're telling me that they'll be happy with a 30% reduction in my pain. 30% doesn't seem like a lot to me. On the one hand I have a diagnosis and it does explain a lot. On the other hand, FUCK FUCK FUCK! Why do I get to be the universe's punching bag? I have to say, I'm also not impressed with some of my friends and feeling kind of hurt. I emailed my 3 good friends yesterday with my news of suckiness and only 1 of them emailed back. I understand we're all busy, but this is kind of important. I'm feeling kind of shitty about this. Oh well, I'll just quietly brood until I blow up at somebody. And yes, I'm well aware that my friends may read this.

Grrrrr-paperboys!

Ever since our fair City has put out a free daily newspaper, I am inundated with paperboys trying to give me a free newspaper downtown. STOP IT!!!!  And since this paper is handing out free ones, another paper is handing out free copies also, so the other day no less than 4 paperboys tried to give me a paper on my way to work. GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

2 Pet Peeves

If you're a man who is over 40, partially bald and has dark hair....DO NOT DYE IT BLONDE!

If you're a woman who can't walk heel-toe in high heels....DON'T WEAR HIGH HEELS!

That is all for today

Tim Hortons rant!

Let me be very very clear-I HATE TIM HORTONS.  Hate might not even be a strong enough word. Loath, despise, abhor, am disgusted by, etc. There isn't a word strong enough to describe my hatred. Part of it is based on personal experience. I have been personally discriminated against by Tim Hortons. I once applied for a job years ago and was well qualified for the minimum wage mindless work involved, having worked for almost 2 years at a Robin's Donuts. After a ridiculous interview process which involved taking pretend orders and making change (cause it's hard to calculate $3.33 from $10.00) I was told that they'd love to hire me if they could find a uniform shirt "LARGE ENOUGH".  Now, I know I'm overweight, but I'm not a frigging blimp or anything!  Needless to say, I never got a call from the bastards.

Now on to non-personal reasons. Tim Hortons coffee is weak, tepid piss water. The taste is almost non-existent and all of their "baked" products are made in a giant factory in Ontario somewhere and shipped out frozen. Not one thing is made fresh on-site. It's not hard to make donuts. In fact, it's one of the most basic bakery, yeast, dough preparations. Tim Hortons has become such a problem that I actually heard people in Cuba, where they have some of the best coffee in the world, saying "Man, I can't wait to get back to Toronto to get my Timmies" and yet I would have been in the wrong had I hit them upside the head!!!

I'm going to stop now because I could keep going and going and going and going and eventually go mad from discussing all the reasons Tim Hortons is the devil and should be eradicated from the face of the earth.

New thing to bitch about

I hate hate hate when people get an email from me, hit reply, and then spell my name wrong.

My email has a signature. My name is spelled out clearly and in full.

It's not so bad when someone adds an extra "l", although it does bug me but some moron from the government keeps emailing me and saying Hi, Hilla!  Who the fuck is Hilla? Cause it sure ain't me!!!  This chick already pisses me off and now she's got my name completely wrong!  Grrrrr. 

I shouldn't be surprised. Literacy is not a requirement for working for the government.

WTF people!!!

For whatever reason, I was having a bad leg day today so I used my cane this morning to walk up to the bus. I get the bus driver to lower the bus and hobble on, dig out my bus ticket, pay, turn around to sit....AND NOT ONE PERSON HAD MOVED!!!  All of the people sitting in the front seats, were under 40, none of them had canes or crutches, or casts or anything. They all looked perfectly healthy and apparently too fucking lazy and insensitive to move for a person using a cane! I couldn't believe it. Has our society really dipped so low that common courtesy has been completely forgotten. I've been sitting in those seats with my cane and if an old person with a cane got on I've moved for them. I hate people. Bottom line.

Oh, for a perfect world

I realized last night what would make the world perfect-if everything in my email spam folder was real!  Then I'd have a free iPad2 (2 of them actually) a free iPod, computer, laptop, trip to somewhere wonderful, hundreds of millions of dollars from the Prince of Africa, I'd be suing drug companies left, right and centre, I'd have a giant penis AND a 24 hour a day erection because of all the cheap viagra.  Wouldn't that be wonderful?  :)
