Why, you ask?
Gosh, thanks for asking.
Pull up a chair.

Here are just a FEW of the reasons I have been unhappy these past few days.

1) Last night, for the first time in over a year, I missed a band rehearsal. I showed up on time, only to find our usual rehearsal room full of crap for an opera workshop. So I walked back outside… and found Bob our director, who said HE wasn’t sure where we would be either. He suggested possibly the auditorium or the “black box” (a room right next to the auditorium).
Lemme pause here for a moment to remind everyone that my mobility is limited. I have degenerative arthritis in my back. My health is not good. I can’t walk very far without things starting to hurt. The longer I stay on my feet, the worse the pain gets.
But I drove to the other end of the building, and walked to the auditorium.
Not a soul was in there, and there was some junk onstage as if someone else had already claimed the place for a theater project.
I walked to the “black box”, and found that it also was full of theater/opera junk. There was noplace for us to rehearse. Bob had disappeared, no one knew where rehearsal was going to be, and by now my back was KILLING me. I went back to my car and drove around to the door I’d originally gone to, on the off chance that our usual room had been cleared out for us.
Nope.
By now I realized I was probably going to have to just go home. My back hurt so much, I couldn’t walk anyplace else. Even if someone had said “Oh, it’s in the auditorium right now, they’re clearing it out,” I wouldn’t have been able to walk back there.
This frustrated me.
So I still have NO IDEA where they rehearsed this week. Dejected and pissed and annoyed that my time had been wasted, I drove back home.

2) Why is it that whenever a guy says he just wants to be “friends,” he never actually MEANS it? He actually means “I’d rather just kinda stay away from you, so please don’t be surprised when I ignore you completely.” Why? WTF? How many more times can I possibly be rejected before I die? Is there a machine somewhere that says “Get in line and take a number to break Janna’s heart!”

3) On my way back from Dowagiac last Saturday night, there was a road block that kept me waiting for over an hour. In fact, they ended up closing the road off completely, and after waiting an hour I had to turn back and find an alternate route home. I couldn’t find my map, so I had to take my chances with getting lost while finding which way to go. Being lost on the road is a big fear of mine. Being lost at night is even worse. I was scared and drained of all energy by the time I FINALLY found a way home.

4) Having THIS problem with PayPerPost.

There’s more, of course, but god forbid I should be seen as a complainer.
HA!!
