ARGH!! What a f--king day!!

Tuesday, April 29, 2003 (2:57am)

Oh my god, what a day I have had. It started out decently enough. I woke up and let the dogs out at 8am or so. And then I stayed awake and was productive. I switched loads of laundry and I even put away my clean clothes. I put another load in and while I waited for it to finish, I pulled my boxes of video tapes into my room and started sorting through them. I actually almost finished with them.

And while I was watching season 2 of "Angel", I went to pull my whites out of the washing machine and they were dirty! Dirtier than when I put them in 'cause they weren't white anymore. And I don't know if they're hard water stains or rust stains or what. And I don't know how to get them out. I tried washing them again and then I tried soaking them in the sink in clean soapy water. But nothing, all my white bras are beige/dirty as well as some of my t-shirts. Thankfully, I was given some suggestions of how to cover the stains and I'm grateful.

Then I went to work where I was on time so yay me, but I had four or five carts of frontlist to shelve, and there were only leads working upstairs today. And everyone else had just as many carts as I did. So the unshop just collected all night. I never finished my carts. My section looks like crap. It just got to the point where I was overwhelmed by it all and couldn't take it anymore.

But thanks to some intervention and a nice visit after work, I was feeling better until I got home and found the note and money on the DVD player in my trunk...

And that's what pissed me off...the money attached to the DVD player. ARGH! I'm so mad I don't even know where to start. You don't get to buy me something like that. Rach tried to explain your logic and you know what? You want to go out to dinner at a real expensive restaurant and buy me a $60 dinner, that's fine. I have no problem with that. You want to buy me a framed picture of the cast of Buffy and probably pay more money than you should, that's fine. I have no problem with that. You wanna buy me Dunkin Donuts, that's fine. Hell, I don't even mind you buying the tapestry for my ceiling, the rug for my floor, and the bed ruffle for my bed. I'm surprisingly okay with even those. But a DVD player? No, it's too much, it's too big of an item to give to someone. And it's not how much money it costs...it's the fact that it's a DVD player.

But regardless of any of that, what pisses me off more than anything else is that we had a deal. You offered to spot me the money, to loan me the money. You'd buy the DVD player and I'd pay you back for it. Half with one paycheck and half with the next. We agreed on this. And you know there's no way I would have agreed to you just buying me the DVD player without me paying you back. We f--king had a deal and now you're trying to change it. If you don't take the money I owe you, I'm not keeping the DVD player. Hell, I'd leave it in my car, but I'm afraid it'll get broken if it stays in the trunk. And you can't return it if it's broken.

And just so there's no confusion...usually, I'm not mad at you. Usually, I'm mad at life or perhaps myself or even other people around us, but not you. Well, I'm mad at you now.
