Whine Fest 2010

Hello and welcome to Whine Fest 2010! Since my last post (which was basically a spewing of verbal venom) attracted so much attention, I thought that I would continue down the path of negativity. I know, I know it does get old doesn't it? But I figure I have one or two pessimistic posts left before you all shake your heads in disgust and navigate away from getrealmama forever.

So here goes:

• The chaos at home continues, no improvement on that front.

• A bottle of diet coke came open in my purse today, destroying both my cell phone and my digital camera. Keep in mind that I replaced my cell phone only a couple of months ago when it was ripped off on the BART. In order to replace the phone I ended up signing a ridiculous contract so that I am now stuck with Verizon for a few more years, and I will likely have to buy the same crappy phone for another $300. Meanwhile I am left stranded and isolated with out my beloved mobile phone. I don't even know my husband's number, it's programmed into the device, I never dial it.

• I am working at a Starbucks because my in laws are visiting and there is no peace at home. It is a beautiful sunny, warm day outside, which means Starbucks turns up their air conditioning to an icy 20 below zero. Meanwhile I am sitting next to two crazy old men who are about to get in a fist fight because one person has a stack of old magazines taking up half the table and annoying the other person. I kid you not. They were actually yelling at each other. I thought the cops might come and break up the geriatric fight.

• I am stuck on one of my searches for work, and for the life of me cannot seem to find a senior account executive with brand experience in the whole bay area. How hard can it be?Have I totally lost my touch? Good lord I'm going to get fired people!

Okay, that 's probably about enough whine for today. Until tomorrow. Kidding. Sort of.
