The Problem with the Little Things

I have been quite busy lately which hasn't been very good for my blogging. This has, after all, become a form of therapy for me. My QA buddies often say that my whining has significantly decreased ever since I moved it to this blog. And when I don't get to whine, I feel.....full. Full of bad thoughts, and emotions, and yuckiness.

Hence this post. I have, over the past few days, been getting increasingly irritable and my annoyance sprouts most often from little things. Allow me to list some of the most recent ones:

It's annoying how....

-people do not queue for the elevator, when there is obviously a queue, and when a queue is definitely necessary because one of the three elevators is down.
-when a building can spend so much on paint and tiles but not seem to bother about that metal box that transports their tenants to offices on the different floors.
-when you are blessed with an abusive (in terms of fare) taxi driver.
-when you have to carry four big trays of food with no covers.
-when you have to balance these four big trays because they have no covers.
-when you encounter competition which is supposed to be healthy but just ends up stressing you out because it threatens your income.
-when you have a slow laptop when you need for it to be fast.
-when none of the windows you need open on time.
-when your phone line is either sucky on your end or the other end.
-when you can't offset hours because your schedule is pegged.
-when you enter a room and no one is there, and you have no idea where they are.
-when you have to sit in a crammed van and wait for an hour before leaving for home because cabs are just too expensive these days.

I can go on and on but I will stop there for now. I can feel my chest loosen up a bit after that release. Wonder how long this feeling will last?
