   A short workweek the week prior to leaving for vacation…

   When you wake up and it’s still dark out and you think that you have another 2 or 3 hours to sleep and then you realize that it’s almost dawn and you have to get up in 15 minutes.

   Not qualifying for the World Cup..

   Coming home after teaching ESL and having to write articles until 3:20 AM.

   I don’t particularly care for Idaho.

6. Michael Smith on September 9th, 2009 at 1:58 pm

   Temperatures over 105.

   Working with people who think Pensacola is a soda.

   anise, even in trace amounts

   Rick, I went to an Israeli restaurant recently and they have all kinds of fancy juices mixed with various spices. I had been pleasantly surprised by an orange juice I’d tried on my first visit at the recommendation of the owner (now I can’t recall the flavors) and asked his advice again on a second visit. He said I should try the Anise grapefruit. I did. I will not again.

    the guy who gets in the office a minute before I do and makes coffee. He puts cinnamon in it. Cinnamon coffee sucks.

    Opening the freezer to find that the 1/2 gallon of ice cream you bought to replace the one you’d absentmindedly put in the fridge had melted.

    range, that pretty much sounds like my dream life.

    I finally found a job yesterday, so I’m off to Portugal shortly for some more ESLing – are there many TEFLers here at the ‘flock?

13. Michael Smith on September 9th, 2009 at 2:56 pm

    Beer in cans.

14. Coop on September 9th, 2009 at 3:05 pm

    Poor service.

15. Lucy on September 9th, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    Ice in beer. People who disparage ‘slow’ parts of movies, like it is a bad thing. Listlessness. Arriving late to the theatre and missing the show. Eating the best bits off the top of the cake before everybody else comes into the room.

    Casinos, Nickleback, cars, distance, totalizing claims, most website, most people, Saint Louis pizza, LA, and being sick on vacation.

17. Phil Bebbington on September 9th, 2009 at 3:39 pm

    Feeling sleepy when you want to feel awake.

    The feeling that I’m not seeing things clearly.

18. Phil Bebbington on September 9th, 2009 at 3:39 pm

    My failing eyesight

    The obligatory re-tinting of my hair every six weeks.

20. Amanda Mae Meyncke on September 9th, 2009 at 4:24 pm

    1) wanting/needing nice things and not having the money to buy them because you already spent a lot of money and 2) are now trying to get out of debt. 3) people who hate L.A. 4) feeling bored or lonely.

21. Kelsey Parker on September 9th, 2009 at 4:26 pm

    The fact that once you feel like you’ve got a handle on life, like maybe you know what the eff you’re doing, you’re bored.

    delivering your 18 year old man-child to college, to his future, then returning to a home without him in it

23. Libby on September 9th, 2009 at 8:36 pm

    Coldplay and Chicago winters.

24. andrea on September 10th, 2009 at 12:05 am

    ohhh, where to begin.

25. Isaac on September 10th, 2009 at 7:31 am

    Five hundred miles.

26. Katie B. on September 10th, 2009 at 8:43 am

    Conference calls–of any type or duration.

    Cindy–Why no love for Idaho? It (the northeast corner near Yellowstone) happens to be one of my favorite places in the world.

27. Mary Jeys on September 10th, 2009 at 9:31 am

    Kelsey, that is totally a good one. I think that sums up all of the rest of them. Nice.

28. Cindy Scroggins on September 10th, 2009 at 9:36 am

    Oh, Katie B, I actually have nothing against Idaho itself. It’s the people. Like the way I love Texas but am horrified by the majority of people here. Mostly, though, I just think it’s funny to think that Idaho sucks. (see post on inappropriate laughter)

29. Katie B. on September 10th, 2009 at 10:38 am

    Cindy: I agree…. the land is beautiful….the people (for the most part) are infuriating. Same goes for Tennessee (where I currently reside).

30. Bud on September 14th, 2009 at 12:42 pm

    Current DUI laws. They make me so MADD! Seriously, they do.
