Rain, Rain Go Away
i swear to g*d that it must rain every day around here now and boy does that bring out the worst in people -- and probably me too. i know i could use a little sunshine!
so today i was trying to get to the post office... cars were lined up deep to get one of a handfull of parking spots. and wouldn't ya know it, some idiot was chatting with two other people at the back of their car. they were just yammering away seemingly without a car that people are trying to get in to do their business. i was a inch away from rolling down my window and explain to them how they were being inconsiderate pricks. had i not had children in the car... i was so pissed the "c" word might have come out with respect to the woman gabbing with them.
ten minutes later, i finally get through the loop a second time and get a spot. i get out with packages in hand and i pass by one of the assholes that was holding things up. "hows it going", he says. biting my tongue i replied "alright" without missing a step heading towards the door. my first thought was that he noticed i was pissed when we passed by them in the parking lot, but then he pulls out some little robots and asks if i'm interested ... before he gets into his sales pitch i abruptly tell him "not a chance" and keep walking. the nerve! i should have introduced myself as law enforcement and asked to see his vendor license. hawking his wares on federal property and wasting the time of a number of folks.
i get back home, kick the itunes back into gear and what do i here? bob dylan singing "rainy day women 12 & 35". heh. apropos on some many different levels.
it's kinda odd... i've been listening to a lot of softer music lately. bob dylan, r.e.m, and a lot of billy joel. maybe i really am getting old... and cranky.
