You have been warned. Stop reading now!<\/small><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very irritated with how lazy I can be. Laundry piles up at home because I keep putting it off. I also own a bunch of clothes and other crap that I don&#8217;t use but I&#8217;ve not got around to getting rid off! All of this contributes to how grubby my apartment is beginning to look and I get annoyed with that too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m annoyed with the company that employs me because even though I was supposed to be appraised and given a raise in April that&#8217;s been put off for more than 4 months now. While the appraisal itself happened in July, I&#8217;m still waiting for the promised raise.<\/p>\n<p>The knock on effect of not getting my raise means I&#8217;m still living frugally and have to keep putting off the purchase of &#8220;luxuries&#8221; like new sheets for my bed or bookcase for my books. My books continue to languish in boxes or just lie around gathering dust which makes me very very irritated!<\/p>\n<p>I also want a new laptop, my HP Pavilion is 5 years old, has no working battery, 1 or 2 broken keys, USB ports that are loose and wiggly and a power port that is loose and needs to held in place just right or it will turn off. Amazingly enough, the hard disk which is just over 4 years old is going strong, my speakers still work well and the screen is still in good shape after I replaced the backlight about 2 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>I seem to be back in the &#8220;loner&#8221; mode that I was in for year or so in 2002-2003 but I don&#8217;t feel too bad about it this time. While people still tell me its weird to go watch a movie on my own or sit at a coffee shop reading a book, I&#8217;m perfectly happy doing that. What&#8217;s so weird about doing things on your own anyway??<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve have so many other things to grumble about, but I&#8217;m running out of time now. Bah! That&#8217;s worth a grumble too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be a post filled with me griping about random things in my life. You have been warned.
