"Looks like Susannah had an extra bowl of Feisty Flakes this morning" - Deborah

Don't look at me wrong or I may bite your head off.
Everyone around me is annoying me. Every.one. I am surrounded by idiots and it is frustrating me to no end.

Susannah's PetPeeve of the Day:
If you know you're going to get mad at something I'm about to do don't sit back and watch me do it. That is so pointless. Don't make me guess whether or not it will be OK. We both end up mad.

Case in point:
Pages were coming out of the printer with a big black line down them. Everyone said something about it to me as they picked up their papers. So what am I to do? It is not in my nature to just sit there when I could try to figure it out. I read instruction manuals for fun, for heavens sake. I have taken apart my VCR on so many occasions that I just stopped screwing the top back on. I'm not going to just sit there and watch the line get bigger and darker with each emerging paper. So I took out the toner and looked at the roller. Aha! There is a big dark ink smudge all the way around it. I cleaned it. The next few pages came out clean. But soon the line is bigger and darker than before! So I took out the roller again and notice that yes, once again it is smudged with ink. So I cleaned it. This happens maybe four or five more times. Finally I decided that the toner cartridge has GOT to be leaking because the roller looks fine otherwise. I knew there was an extra toner cartridge in a box under my desk so I thought to myself because the toner seems to be the problem then I will just switch it with the new one and see if that fixes it. --A perfectly logical decision to me.

So as I was taking the new cartridge out of it's box Jayar walked in. I told him what I was doing.
Jayar: You're what?
Susannah: I'm switching toner cartridges.
Jayar: Did it say it needed new toner?
Susannah: No. But it seems to be leaking ink onto the roller, so I am switching it to see if that fixes it. That's my plan.
Jayar: That's an expensive plan.
Susannah: But I think it might work.

(he left the room)

Jayar: That's an $80 plan.
...
Susannah: Well do you not want me to do it then?
Jayar: I'd rather you didn't.
Susannah: Fine then! No one can come whining to me when all of their papers come out half covered in ink! I have done all I can. It is not my fault when someone realizes that OH! WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO SUSANNAH. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE SHOULD MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT, or at least she could've found what else to try if it hadn't worked!!! I wipe my hands of this problem! You can all fend for yourselves now. No complaining, no yelling; don't even talk to me about it.


Ok, so he didn't even hear my reply, I'm sure, but it was sure nice to actually say what I was thinking. I wonder if anyone heard. Besides, it wasn't an $80 cartridge; it was $45. Bite me.

Why wait until you are halfway down the hallway to tell me that yes, you would like me to stop what I am doing? If I continue what I am doing you will be angry, and you are in an authority position over me. Why in the crap do you not TELL ME you don't want me to do it and instead leave me debating whether or not to continue until I have to ASK YOU. Ugh!

Then everyone on the freeway sucked at driving and I almost got hit twice.
And the very second I walked in the door my obnoxious roommate came at me with a bunch of questions and demands. My water bill is $67 this month. Last month it was $6.31. Slight difference there. Hmmm, maybe it was THE CLEANFREAK ROOMMATE!?!--I have never seen anyone wash clothes so often, and my mother had seven children. Hmmmm, maybe it was the hour-long showers that take all of the hot water?
And she told me that because she is not a "contact person" on the account she can't call the power company (because both of our bathrooms lights are out and she can't figure out how to get them back on) so she wants me to call my dad and have him call them. She said, "Tell your dad we love him so he'll do it." Ok, that bugged me. A lot.

Then as she left she said, "Have a better night than you did day!" I told her I doubt that would happen. She said, "Well you never know!" Ugh. Just get away from me quickly.

AND I BURNED MY TONGUE ON FRENCH FRIES I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN'T TOUCH!!!
