Things that make me annoyed...

Yeah I should be focusing on the positive, but sometimes, stuff happens, and you just can't help but get out of sorts.

1) Driving during non peak hours.
There are two worlds, the working world, and the non-working world. When all the working people are driving to work, everybody has somewhere to go. Sure there can be traffic, but everybody is trying to move as quickly as possible. Week days during the day in particular, are filled with people that have nowhere to go. And it totally shows in the way the flow of traffic occurs. It's like a mass of people on auto-pilot la-dee-da mode. Drive 10 under? Why not. O...M...G....

2) Losing stuff.
To be honest, I'm really good at this one, so I get annoyed at myself a lot. Especially when it's something you need in a rush, it's so stressful.

3) Clients who insist on making things look awful.
And why do they do this you ask? Oh, because they just love the colour fusia and other lame reasons like that. I don't tell them how to do their job, they really shouldn't tell me how to do mine.

4) Overplayed, overly festive or schmaltzy music.
This includes the following: Just Like a Waving Flag, I Believe, My Heart Will Go On, anything by Aqua (other than Barbie Girl which has some cool subversive lyrical content),

5) Canceling plans at the last minute.
I don't know, this didn't bother me so much when I was younger. But now I find I have so much stuff to do (not that I'm popular, more that I have more things to take care of), that I'm usually trying to move stuff around to get things done. So when my schedule gets out of sorts all of a sudden, I'm kinda like "I could've been doing...", drives me nuts.

6) Slow computers.
That spinning rainbow wheel of death (or the hour glass for you PC people out there), can be really annoying. Granted a few seconds is okay, but when it ends up with hearing the hard drive churning all of a sudden, and the computer lockdown to the point where you're afraid of the wind blowing the wrong way will cause your program to completely crap out, just to open a simple file, it's bad stuff. Better than the old blue screen of death I suppose...

7) Illustrator crashing when you haven't saved a file in a long time.
Save your files. But that leads me to wonder why Adobe hasn't developed some sort of auto-recovery back up. Microsoft Office has it.

8) That unhealthy food tastes soooooooo good.
If only french fries, potato chips, chocolate, butter, etc... were filled with vitamins and nutrients.
