[Socar MYLES]

Today, on this 2nd day of February, 2001, I hate the following things:

1. My job. Every time our boss isn't in--ie, most of the time--everybody gets out their fags and starts smoking INSIDE! This means that all the ashes and smoke get in with all the dust and yuck already floating about, and by the end of the day, I can't stop sneezing. I'm also getting a smoker's cough, and I don't even smoke. And then, there's that girl who chews gum with her mouth open: SMAK! SMAK! SMAK! I'm going to hide her gum, I swear! I think I need a new job.

2. People with limp, soggy, dead-fish handshakes.

3. People who are in the elevator, and SEE you running to ALSO get in the elevator, and still keep their fingers on the door-close button.

4. Trying to do art on my laptop, and finding that the picture is heavily yellow-tinted when viewed on an ordinary screen.

5. Walking down TWO BLOCKS of street and losing $20 in change to the bums who have strategically planted themselves in your path.

6. That feeling when a huge flock of birds flies right over your head, and you don't have an umbrella. Bird $#!& is splattering on the ground all around you, and all you can do is hope for the best....

7. One time, I volunteered to help out at the Chamber of Commerce home show. What they didn't tell me was that I was actually volunteering to dress up as Barney. A mob of kids followed me around, throwing stuff at me and jeering because I couldn't run (or see) in my Barney costume. Then, one of them pushed me in a great big Jacuzzi, and I couldn't get up for air because of the weight of the now soaking BARNEY costume. Until I got rid of the head, I was drowning. I hate that kid.

8. Thieving coworkers. They know who they are. They know I know who they are. But I -can't prove it-.

9. Buses.

10. Television programs that show vomit. I really hate vomit. The other night at work, Survivor Australia was on, and I looked up from my computer JUST IN TIME to see some guy spewing his guts. Lovely.

Okay. I have it out of my system now. What does everyone else hate today?

I don't suppose the wonderful scenery in Vancouver would help your mood at all?
