Don’t You Hate When That Happens?

Here’s a random rant of things that generally stink that we can probably all agree upon:

• That parking space at the mall you know is in your reach then someone else swoops in and takes it.
• When you KNOW, just KNOW your son got an A on his test but comes home instead with an F.
• Taking out your favorite pair of sunglasses, go to put them on only to have them break- OK, they were only $5 but were still my favorite.
• Finding out your 18-year-old cat’s thyroid medication went up an additional $10 a month.
• Having all your kitchen appliances break- at the same time!
• Thinking you may have lost ten pounds but in reality you gained five.
• Getting excited to watch your favorite TV show only to find out it has been canceled. Happened twice-remember Freaks and Geeks or Arrested Development?
• Having no toner in your printer and no desire to purchase toner.
• Realizing that no one replaced the toilet paper roll after the fact.
• When you can’t keep up with the mountain of laundry.
• Not winning the lottery.
• Renting a car while your car is in the shop for expensive repairs, then having the rental car break down in the car line at school.
• Your top client is taking his business “in another direction.”
• You’re snowed in.
• You wish you were snowed in.
• Your dog decides to start barking when you finally get that coveted new client on the phone.
• One of the kids throws up on your work.

I could go on for days but figure I’ve chipped away at just a portion of working from home woes…what I want to know is, what pushed you over the edge today?
