So, as we wind down to the final days of Organized Chaos, I feel the need to reflect not on my many years of blogging (that will come later) but on the fact that those who once and still read this thing seem to love them some lists! In fact, I think it’s safe to assume that it was my lists that kept up interest even as it started to wane. I do seem to have a talent for creating them and rarely repeating myself.

So, here’s one literally off the top of my head. It’s about things that are really ******* me off at the moment, things I’m tired of.

I am TIRED of:

- Working for a place that penalizes me for having to take a shit!

- People who don’t turn their fucking TV’s down or off when they’re on the phone conducting business!

- Insincere fucks who pretend to be concerned for your well being then find ways to fuck you in the ear whenever possible!

- My mortgage company that calls to find out when my payment will be made, notates that date, then calls back again and again asking the same fucking question!

- The pop music scene and its sad over-reliance on manufactured controversy to remain relevant!

- Whiney Christians complaining about retailers not mentioning Christmas in their advertising when 95% of them mention nothing but!

- Being told I’m lucky to have a job as if the companies aren’t lucky to have employees helping them turn a profit in shitty financial times!

- People that are pissed off just to be pissed off because they are too passive in their everyday lives to take out their ire on the real causes of it!

- Everybody except me being rewarded for mediocrity in an environment where it is expected!

- Not having a sizable print run of my novel!

- Having to navigate around three dogs in my house, including one destructive puppy that (former) EFB cannot see as doing any wrong!

- Being surrounded by luscious asses and not being able to do shit about it!

- Terrible writers getting great publishing deals and being hailed by mindless simpletons whose taste is all in their mouths!

- People that won’t shut the flame up long enough to realize you’ve already anticipated their question, answered it and resolved whatever they’re complaining about!

- The phrase “My baby daddy” and the many variations thereof!

- Meetings, each more pointless and absurd than the last, existing merely to validate jobs and enforce inane policies!
