Just so we’re clear

1 October 2008

I currently hate everyone and everything. I’m tired of not being able to go to concerts I want to because they’re not seated venues. I’m tired of companies very politely calling me a liar. You said to get a taxi and remit the receipt for refund. No, we didn’t. Yes, you fucking did. This hard drive makes an awful noise. No, it doesn’t, we’re returning it to you. Well, thank you for returning this blatantly different drive. I’m still going to call it Ben, by the way. Oh, and another thing: this drive just made the same horrible noise for a little while. I glared at it and if it does it again I might be forced to throw it at you. I’m also tired of the people who are refusing to deal with a domain problem that consequently means I can’t get a new project off the ground.

And I want a giraffe for my birthday.

When you get your giraffe I will make you a special giraffe-riding dress with long flowy sleeves and a built-in bra that makes your boobs look great.It will be the best shade of red EVER and there will even be a matching hat with long streamers on it and you will be invited to every concert ever because everyone will want to see you and you’ll have the best view in the house. And the computer company will say, “Sarah, we were wrong. No one who looks that good riding a giraffe could possibly have been wrong about this hard drive. Here, have a lifetime supply of the latest cool computer equipment and here is some for all you friends as well. You rock. “

Well, I can’t possibly top kirsty’s comment!

I hate concerts that aren’t seated venues too. I can’t stand around for three hours waiting for the band to decide to come out.

Hey, hating everyone and everything was me a week ago. I hope your hatred for humanity and the world goes away like mine did. Also, November 12th is noted.

OK, deal. You get me that cute little monkey and I’ll get you a giraffe. We can meet somewhere in the middle of the ocean to switch out our gifts.

PS- your friend Kirsty is hilarious.

“I?m tired of companies very politely calling me a liar.”

Ah, yes … that excessive politeness that transslates as ‘f*** you!’

And they’ve always got a little notice somewhere that says you’re not allowed to swear at them or else! …. which is permission for them to wind you up to the point of Purple Rage, while flicking V-signs at you, and you’re supposed to just sit there and take it.

The real joke being, of course, that you DO have to just sit there and take it; they make sure of that :-)You don’t even get to complain to an employee of the company nowadays … it’s always some hapless girl in Mumbai.
As in Mumbai Potatoes, Mumbai Duck and Mollywood :-)

Rant over. I feel a lot better now.
