that can ruin your mood.

i.e.;

Reaching into the bag of M&Ms, and finding none left,

having a story idea that you have been fleshing out for a while fall apart,

finding out that the really good library book that you just started reading has to be returned, that you can't renew it, and you can't get another copy for another week or so.

Well. At least it's Friday.

Discovering 400 pages into your (library) book that it's missing about 50 pages right there in the middle (this has now happened to me twice).

Putting a spoonful of cold cereal in your mouth only to discover that the remnant of that gallon of milk that expired three weeks ago has finally gone sour.

Taxes, dude, Taxes.
I hate it. The harder I work, the more money I lose... Whereas someone who doesn't need it gets a tax break...

Irratating people trying to ruin something as good as a DIR EN GREY CONCERT. But I won't let them
Oh, no.

It's also the little things that can cheer you up.

Like having a teacher care so much about you and your well being that it drives you to tears. (Happy ones.)

Dang . . . and you can't use Uprooted's technique--just hang on to it and pay later? ;-)

(I know, I know, that's a bad thing to do if someone's on a waiting list for it. I don't think the books I borrow are ever that popular!)

Being a college student, I completely know how this feels. Although, you are a little braver than I am. Three weeks is pushing it.

Realizing that it's colder in MA than in DC, and you forgot to bring a scarf.

But I'm home, so I can't really complain.

To tell you the truth, I would've been more than willing to "lose" it. It was getting good...

Oh, and having your "friends" drink a fifth of your Jack and eat the two pizzas you ordered for them and then ditch you at 10pm because they have something "better" to do, knowing that you are being kicked out of the place you were supposed to have closed on today. [Mad]

Trying to tell the principal that the kids are still complaining about fights in the bathrooms and having him blow it off and say it is not that bad.

Establishing rules for where the students are allowed to be (not in the building afterschool) and then having the prinicpal let kids do whatever they want while the teachers bust our rear ends to try and maintain order.

After hearing the superintentent say we wouldn't have to worry about having our horrible principal again another year, listening to the said principal talk about all the changes he will make for next school year that have very little to do with what ACTUALLY needs to be done.

Reread the title of the thread. I guess these aren't really little things.

Having your daughter wake you up at oh dark thirty in the morning when you were hoping to sleep late.

Realizing that hubby did not make coffee before going to work.

The thought of all the cleaning plans when the weather is perfect outside.

People who are nice to you until they make some sarcastic comment and reveal how arrogant they actually are.

I try to laugh off the little things and not let them get under my skin.

Some days, I just laugh and laugh and laugh!

The big things, though. Well, I guess I'll just try to rise to the challenge and overcome.

Wish me luck with that plan.

I hate waking up with a headache. 'Cause if it is already hurting when I wake up, then it's only going to get worse when I start moving around and starting my day.

Thank goodness for Excedrin, though.

Our school has a policy on this I had never seen before: the bathrooms are all locked during classes. If a student wants to use one, they have to get a key from the teacher or wait 'til lunch when there are faculty on duty nearby. It doesn't make bathroom fights impossible by any means, but it has nearly eliminated those that take place between students who would be ditching class and 'hiding' in the bathrooms.
