Trafalgar Day

You know when you wake up really miserable and can't work out why? (OK, there are plenty of reasons right now, but this didn't seem to be about any of them.)

Oh yes. anniversary of my father's death.

anger is an energy

Dear British Gas, no I am not going to pay this red electricity bill because you owe me more than that on the gas (due to the ridiculous direct debit amount you made me pay despite my protests) and you assured me last week that it would all be sorted, paid off and I would be refunded what was left. And I am not going to phone again and wait for 20 mins listening to your stupid advertising. So there.

Dear Freecycler, 'in about an hour' was four hours ago. NOW would be good.

Dear other Freecycler, 'this morning' is over. NOW!

Dear last-week-Freecycler, since you can't be bothered to respond to emails I have given up and am relisting.

Dear Amazon Customer, 'ship date' is not 'delivery date' so stop whining about not having received a book that I posted yesterday.

Dear Amazon non-customer, there is nothing wrong with my settings for international shipping, I just don't post to your country.

Dear FedEx, you must have been waiting for me to go out to the post office. I will get my parcel yet, by hook or by crook.

Dear Curtains, I am going to bring you down if it kills me.

Barter economy

Freecycle: you give away things you don't want, and get extra stress and annoyance in return. (It doesn't help that I find it hard to really concentrate on anything if I am waiting for an expected interruption.)

I have caved and arranged for somebody to pick up all the uncollected / unwanted / unlisted items tomorrow. Yay!
