and I thought it was for real this time
I have to hand it to you March, you are a tricky one. You really like throwing us a curveballs. Every year I’m lulled into a false sense of security when you toss a few beautiful, spring like 65 degree days our way like you did this weekend. I start thinking about putting away my winter clothes and breaking out the flip flops. Then I wake up two days later and its 5 degrees with winds gusting at approximately 700 mph. Good one March. I couldn’t even listen to my iPod on my walk to work this morning because the wind was blowing the headphones out of my ears. Well that and I couldn’t feel my fingers enough to turn it on. This happens every year and yet I never see it coming. You win again March, you always do.

Sometimes I'm Just Angry
Here are a few things that annoyed me yesterday:
1. Get serious here God. I mean high of 70 on Monday and a high of 38 on Wednesday. That’s 32 degrees in two days. I know you’re pissed because republicans hate the environment and all but this is ridiculous. Why are you taking it out on me? It’s not like I mind the cold, I would just like a little consistency is all.
2. As a result of the crazy temperature change I was forced to wear gloves yesterday. Did you know that you cannot raise the volume on an iPod while wearing gloves? Me either. So now I have to go gloveless when its like 24 degrees outside just so I can listen to Kenny Loggins at the appropriate (see: loud) level.
3. I saw a guy wearing shorts yesterday. I’m not sure why this was annoying it just was. I mean, it’s your life an all guy but what are you trying to prove. I don’t think you’re a badass because you’re wearing shorts in sub freezing temperatures, I think you’re an idiot.
4. My dryer sucks. I had to run it 4 times before my clothes wear dry, which is a tremendous pain in my ass. Granted it was slightly overloaded, but that’s only because the first load wasn’t dry when the second was finished in the washer so I threw them in together. Drying your laundry should not be a multi day process.
5. My Tivo is not working and I didn’t know how to fix it. So my first step was to go to Tivo.com to try and find a solution to my problem. All you get there are articles on FAQs that have nothing to do with my problem, and there is no way I’m emailing them a question because I don’t think there is any chance of that working, so that leaves me no choice but to call customer service, which if you know me you know that is against everything I believe in. First of all the number is nearly impossible to find, I got the sense that Tivo really just doesn’t like to be bothered, it took me like 15 minutes of navigating the website to find what I was looking for. So I finally call and of course I get stuck with one of those automated guys who wants to ask me question to try and figure out the problem that way, but my problem is not one of the options. But it keeps asking me questions. It got to the point where I was literally screaming into the phone.
“Are you having trouble connecting to your Tivo service?”
“NOOOOOOOOO. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE!!!!!!!”
“Is your Tiv….”
“NOOOOOOOOO. REPRESENTATIVE.”
I think it sensed my tone because it hung up on me. When I called back I finally managed to get through to someone. I felt bad because she was very nice but I was kind of a dick because I was all fired up after berating at a robot for 10 minutes. It took her about 2 minutes to tell me how to solve my problem. Was that so damn hard Tivo? Assholes.
6. All day at work it felt like I was getting poked in my left eye. It was super painful and I kept tearing up so I couldn’t do any work. But I couldn’t do anything about it because if I take my contacts out I’m completely useless, I can’t even read a computer screen without them. Come to find out the problem was my left contact lense was basically ripped in half all day and I wore it anyway. I’ll be blind within ten years.
