Pissy Day
I suppose I shouldn’t complain about a little rain since we haven’t had that much this summer, but, dammit!, I’ll complain if I feel like it.
It never stopped once with the rain today. And who had to keep going out in the rain today? I’ll give you a hint… sounds like… “braaffer”. I know, that’s a pretty obscure hint, I’ll give you more… sounds like… “mnidiot mnon a smnick”. Ok, you got it.
First I had to go out to a meeting. I didn’t mind too much cuz there was a Tim’s over there that I planned to hit.
But, here’s a big but (stop looking, I’m not talking about myself *pig*), as I was heading out, I mentioned to the people in the office that I was going to the meeting and stopping at Tim’s and then I’d be back.
Well don’t you know that one person automatically reached into his pocket to get change so I could get him a coffee too. Now I have to preface this with the fact that lots of times I’m going to Tim’s and I say to people, “anybody want anything?” – and I’ll pick them up coffees while I’m there.
But this time, I didn’t offer to buy anyone coffee. I don’t always feel like being the jovial coffee tray lugger. Sometimes I’d just like to be totally selfish and get MYSELF a coffee. I’m not the fucking errand boy.
And that reminds me… sometimes I’ll be going out to lunch and my boss will say, “oh, are you going near any place that has sandwiches?” That might sound innocuous except for the fact that she knows that I usually come back from lunch with a coffee. So what am I going to say, “they were all out of food at Tim’s today”?
An idea just came to me. The next time I’m going to stop at Tim’s, I’m not going to say anything. And maybe when I’m going to lunch, I’m just going to start sneaking out to lunch and let people go get their own farging food. How ’bout I just do what I want to do on my lunch half-hour? Sounds like a good plan to me.
It’s still raining. What was I talking about?

Jafer, get a grip!
Don’t you know by now not to start offering to bring coffee?
Start that shit and it’ll never stop!
Raindrops keep falling on my head, just like the guy whos too big for his bed, nothing seems to fit…..
It is suprisingly not raining here. 
* thats me smiling with a beard.
You’re right you’re entitled to your own time at lunch without running around for others!
Once in a while is fine, but it sounds like they are all too lazy to get off their own butts and that’s not your problem. You sneak out and enjoy yourself for half an hour, and feel good about it too!

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
You should live in the Netherlands or in England for some time. Then you can really complain about the rain
