a list of people who annoy the shit out of me:

  1. jerks on cell phones in libraries. when did it become okay to even talk in a library, much less do it on a phone?! where did this trend start? libraries are awesome because they are quiet, and fun to hang out and read in. the only other place i remember being this quiet was church as a kid, and that stillness made both places feel special. i gave up church when i realized i didn't believe in god, but why are assholes ruining my library experience? i don't ask for much dammit, just a nice librarian or two to hiss "shhh..." on occasion.
  2. people who insist on their lunchmeat being "shaved." this means they want it so thin it unravels, and this, my friends, is a pain in the ass to do. when they say they want it shaved i want to say, "you should go buy your own meat slicer then." so annoying. i hate shaving meat! how on earth are meat scraps more delicious than regular slices? i don't get it.
  3. mailmen who are dicks. i have been dealing with this one guy at the post office who is such an insufferable jerk, and waiting in line i just hope that i don't get him, but of course i always do. today i was impossibly rude back and then he was nice to me. i gave him the stink-eye-extraordinaire and he smiled at me. i want to break his kneecaps.

things that make life worth living and negate the above list:

  1. getting six feet under season 2. man, i love that show. i dn't believe i love it enough to keep it when i'm done watching it, though. the fisherman thinks it's retarded, but i'm totally going to donate the series to the libary when i'm done. that way the next suckers who get all wrapped up in it will at least have some more fisher goodness!
  2. sifl and olly! the set i bought on ebay is obviously transfered from vhs, taped-from-tv, but it's awesome nonetheless. i could watch that show all the time! it reminds me of a pretty happy time in my high school career, too.
  3. laughing cow cheese being on sale at the grocery store. it meant i could buy two kinds! original for the fisherman, and garlic and herb for me.
  4. awesome booty from the grocery outlet. seriously. check it out.

I just want to defend meat shaving a little bit. (That's a sentence I never expected to type.) I don't normally make it a practice, but every once in a while, I have a recipe for something tasty that involves shaved ham. If people are doing it just to make the employee suffer, though, they're jerks.

i understand shaved ham! i should have mentioned that. shaved turkey breast, however, is another ball o' wax.
