The Trivial Complaints Thread ... #3

I have received a few nice things from people "randomly" in Disney.  Except that a group of people that you stand in line with for over an hour, and make small talk with, tend not to be total strangers by the time you start trading pins or keychains with them.  Just walking up to someone and handing them a gift because , "you have a child" or "you look like you really like Tinkerbell" IS definitely creepy. 

I think the only time I've done that was when my family was heading out of the parks at night, with my grandma in a wheelchair, and we still had same-day Fast Passes (I don't remember why we had gotten them from a Cast Member right now)  but they were going to be wasted if they didn't get used by park close, so we walked along one of the more popular ride areas and specifically looked for people who were scoping out the signage to see how long the wait was, and handing them off to a grateful family who did not want to wait 3 hours in line!  But they don't give out Fast Passes anymore so ...

I hate the fact that a lot of theme parks have "waiting in line for hours" as a feature. I'd rather they take a certain amount of guests a day and close the park. If I'm there, I can have a good time, if I miss it well that's life. I'd like to go to Halloween Havoc at least once, but the wait times are also about 3 hours. Who wants to do that?? What a waste of time.

...I'm a little grumpy today

I had a very strange and frustrating dream. My dad, sister, grandma and her BBF, my first dog and two little girls whose names I didn't catch were there. All I could say was 'hi' not even 'hello' just 'hi'. I wanted to talk to my dad and sister so bad. There were also two very tall women dressed flamboyantly who kept making comments about what I was doing. I have it in my head that they were angels, for some reason. Annoying angels

I have been saving from my salary for the last several months to get a new PC, as this old warhorse of mine has a keyboard that is...well, half stuck on with sellotape is not an exaggeration. I love this computer, it's been absolutely brilliant, but it's battery is shot and it has seen better days.

So I got my new PC this morning. I had it all beautifully set up. Then Windows did an update and...it refused to boot. So I had to reset it back to factory and start over again.

And the decorator is still here so I can't even rant and swear about it.

Not only that, every time it goes to reboot during reinstallation I am here worrying it won't boot up again.

Because I have racked up so many lieu hours ( we don't get paid overtime), I was forced to take a day off by my supervisor.  When I got back to the office, I spent my entire workday going to meetings that I was completely unprepared for and faking my way through...  now I will have to do extra work to make my reports extra-detailed so that it looks like I went above and beyond, instead of "catching up on things I should have done two days ago, but with only one workday to actually work on them"

I wanted to check out frozen veg & get my fave frozen veggieburgers from Tesco. Some hope: the vegetable & vegetarian freezer was broken until the end of the week!!!. So I got some chilled veggieburgers instead & missed out on frozen veggies!!!
