Reasons why I am having bad attitude night

[pegkerr]

Another parent meeting at school, this one for Fiona's Robotics Team. I sooooo do not want to go to this. Right in the middle of the dinner hour, dammit, and it'll mean I miss karate.

I am still irritated about all the incredibly stupid (and often bigoted) commentary I've been reading in blogs and news services about the outing of Dumbledore. And then I get mad at myself for even caring what idiots say.

I am gaining weight again. I didn't want to go back over 150, but I did. Dammit.

My check register doesn't match the data input on Quicken, which means I'll have to chase down the subtraction error. I am extremely anal about making sure my paper and computer records correlate, but I can't find where I screwed up. I hate this.

My office is a mess because I have the financial paperwork spread out all over the floor, for making Quicken entries and filing.

I need to start writing that paper for Fantasy Matters and I feel singularly uninspired.

I am excessively irritated with Fiona over something. It's between her and me (and her geography teacher). Best not to ask. Really.

My husband is still unemployed.

I hear ya. On so many levels. Fortunately, I haven't been exposed to teh stoopids on the Dumbledore (non)issue. Did they really think that no gay people exist in a story or world as long as they aren't explicitly mentioned? Reminds me of a dumb argument years ago on one of the Tolkien newsgroups, in which someone earnestly asserted that there are NO toilets in Middle Earth--because Tolkien never mentioned them in the books! La la. Logic. Dontcha love it?

I'll be happy just to get back under 200. Then again, my build's a bit bigger than yours, even if I'm not taller, so I guess that's no comfort to you. Sorry...

If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance... you know the rest. Just start writing and see what happens. Even if it's crap, they'll love it just because you wrote it.

You're right. I was not destined to work in the helping professions.

Remind us when and where the conference is, and if we need to buy tickets to attend, okay?
