Tuesday Hatred: Too Little, Too Late
I hate walking around in the freezing rain. I hate getting my hopes up for my first snow day in over a decade, only to have them dashed. I hate when people have extended cell phone conversations on the CTA. I hate that the elevators at my two most frequently used train stations so often seem to be set to go in the wrong direction -- for instance, why would you have the escalator set to go up during morning rush at a Loop stop?I hate Gov. Blagojevich, and I hate that there is a growing consensus among our great state's leaders that expanded gambling is a safer bet than a negligible sales tax increase.
I hate ill-defined exam areas for which I have no one to blame but myself. I hate that I'm currently in a situation where my reward for finishing tedious task A is to be able to get a jump on tedious task B. I hate how close together Thanksgiving and Christmas are. I hate that I apparently now require ten or eleven hours of sleep a night, plus a nap. I hate nap hangovers.
