Pissy
OK, that last post was a little rude. But sometimes I feel like I have to justify the existence of this thing. And adding embellishments to the site, even for my own purpose, are really just for fun. I know this isn't a highly travelled site. In the fourteen months that I've had it, I've barely had over 2,000 visitors, and most of them were probably me testing stuff. Whatever. I'm just feeling guilty for being me.
What am I thankful for today? I'm thankful that my mother got her flowers in time. It was her birthday yesterday, she's 55 now, and I sent flowers to work for her. I thought of this over the holiday, and I tried to use www.flowers.com (no link, it's not worth it) but they can't deliver perishables on Mondays. Huh? So I went to FTD to order flowers for a Monday delivery, and they didn't even care that it was a Monday. They were a little more expensive than the other place, but to get what I wanted when I wanted it, I paid more. That's the American way. I don't understand why the other place couldn't deliver flowers (perishables?) on a Monday. Like there are no gardens or nurseries open on Sundays? Like they have no access to delivery services on Sundays? Then how does FTD do it? Whatever. Not my problem anymore.
I am probably going to have to get another (read: second) job. I'm not too excited about that. I did two jobs for about a year, and the pay was nice, but it was crap not having a day off ever. The two job schedules overlapped to where I was working seven days a week. Do I really want to do that again? No. Can I afford not to? No. It's not a matter of overspending, either. It's just a matter of living in an area of the country that might as well be restricted to blue bloods or other rich people who can afford it better, and that sucks. I don't want to have to move simply to provide a better life for myself. I'm not in a good mood today.
