literally: i had this delivery to a guy on sunday. it was some spicy tofu thing. i get to his place, he answers the door, then he says "i'm gonna check the food, because for the last 15 times, it's been wrong. yeah, see, this is fried tofu, i asked for steamed. this is literally the 12th time my order has been wrong."
really? literally? because it sounds like you're using hyperbole there, asshat. and is it 15 or 12? fuckwad. and literally? literally? what, do you have a little board up that says "every time my order's been wrong from delivery service" with 12 (or 15) marks on it? actually, if he did have a board like that, i'd probably want to have sex with him.
ahem. his doucheosity aside, i think my brain has been subtly trying to find ways to reduce my anger level, because after my initial thoughts above, my mind wandered to that episode of how i met your mother where everyone's flaws are revealed. how robin says literally all the time when she means figuratively, lily chews really loud, marshall makes a song out of everything (i kinda do, too), etc.
it made me think of my flaws. well, the ones i'm conscious of. i do make songs out of almost everything, but i mostly do that when no one else is around. when i'm in a car, whether driving or passengering, i tend to read out almost every sign that's passed. (it used to really annoy my last ex.) um, i know there's probably more, but i'm hungover.
anyone wanna share their flaws that they're conscious of?

sweetie darling: at thai noodles sunday for a pickup, i saw a mixed-race couple ... with a mixed-race baby!!! and all i could think of was edina monsoon and her obsession with mixed-race babies after she found out saffy was having one. that's where my mind goes ...

good googley moogley: so, i told the federal agency i was "temping" for to sod off last week. this mostly because, when we were sacked on the 15th, we were told we wouldn't be called back for further service until the first week of march. well, i got a call at 7 fucking a.m. on thursday saying to report to work at friday at 6:30 p.m. then i got a second call at 8 fucking a.m. saying the previous call was wrong and to report at 6 p.m. um, that kinda pissed me off, because also at the sacking session, we were told we'd be given more lead time before being called back and that it would never be just the day before.
i should've known better.
so i called them friday around noon, because i figured since they talked to my voicemail, i might as well talk to theirs, and left a message saying to keep their fucking seasonal job at their ridiculously outdated agency because i found another job. but, you know, not in those exact words; it was more in business casual words, if you will.
anyway. i just got a fucking phone call from them at 4:15 today. monday. way to be on the fucking ball.
and you know why i got said phone call today? so they could take my resignation over the phone. and after one person took my info, another person had to get on the phone and verify my info. now, i get to wait for something in the mail that i have to sign and send back to them.
i just want them to sod the fuck off!
AHHHHH!!!

i can't end like that: so here's a LOLcat. enjoy.

that's one of my favorite episodes from how I met your mother.
it was JUST on like 30 minutes ago.
I knew there was a reason why I liked you so much.
flaws...i ramble when i'm nervous and leave the longest, most awful voice messages to people. when i get off the phone, if anyone is around i often get asked if there was anyone on the phone. but no, just me.
