Some things can be annoying and are really just part of life:
~ the immature teens who were having fun at Taco Bell the other day. They threw some things in the air- including a piece of plastic that bumped me. Didn't hurt. But it was somewhat annoying, not the fact that it hit me but just that they were so very immature!
~ the way some drivers don't pull all the way up into the intersection turning lane, thus blocking other drivers moving forward. For example such drivers might keep a couple car lenghts between their vehicle and the vehicle in front of them. Thus drivers who are BEHIND that car are "blocked in" and can't move to the turning lane even though the turning lane is totally clear. (ie if they blocking and you want go straight but can't cause others who'd be in the turn space if the inconsiderate drivers moved forward....)
~ self- checkout at Bloom after 9P (or other stores). After a long work day and staying extra long to get caught up, I just don't feel like donig the self-checkout, especially if I am buying fruit or some other item that does not have a UPC code. If I do have to use the self-checkout, in my opionion, I should get a discount to do so!
~self- frustration: I didn't do as well getting visiting teaching done this month. Yeah we gave Easter treats but that isn't what I mean.
Some things can be hurt-inducing for sensitive me:
~ It is so hard for me to reach out to people sometimes. Though I was quite shy and quiet as a child, I've been able to come out of that to some extent, for instance at work or occasionally at other times I can be more talkative. Still it is hard for me to "reach out" at times. Sometimes I feel my efforts to reach out are not appreciated.
~ Sometimes I wish it hadn't been so long since I've had a date! If I really think about this it can hurt that despite trying to be a good faithful person etc the guys in my faith evidently don't feel I'm good enough to be their friend in this way. Oh well. Maybe I should contact the Guiness Book of World Records to see what their criteria is to hold the World Record in this area of longest time without a date!
~ I also wish some guys didn't misinterpret a simple attempt at a normal casual frienship as an attempt at something else, or so it seems. For example recently at our institute for singles, I made a comment to one of the guys about a comment based on something HE had said in the class. While the person responded nicely, he did not ask a single question to me about me. Likewise with another guy at that class, we had both attended a good bye gathering for a common friend. At that event, I had learned he would be going on an upcoming trip. So when I asked him how his trip was, he shared a sentence or two. But again, there was nothing personal of how are you,etc. Believe me, I don't care if either of those thow care an iota about me. But those are good representations of my frustration with some LDS guys. I feel like I try to be nice and yet they don't even want to be a friend. I see both of the individuals kind to others- so it must be me. Another thing that I should not let bother me!
TRULY Something:
Of course the things that bother me are not that important in the grand scheme of things. Just a couple examples from this week:
~ aquaintance who is a sweet lady and needs a new kidney
~ found out this week someone I know and care about and see regularly in life will need a new lung and plans get ont he transplant list int he near future.. A new lung. Why can't these be sold in stores? How she must be feeling, how scared. Reacts optimistically at least the public view I see, hope I can be a good friend and support.
"Nuff complaining for now. Time for me to get on with things! :)
