What isn't newsworthy these days??
I just read a headline "Obama Swats Pesky Fly During Interview". Because that is what I want to read about in the ten minutes of down-time I have per day. And how a group of 30,000+ crazy, 1st Amendment Rights haters want CBS to fire David Letterman for an off-color joke that was accidently and incorrectly directed towards a minor whose mother's questionable morality and parenting skills are already a tabloid favorite. LIGHTEN UP. Even Palin, whose week-long tirade permeated the airwaves, newspapers and bandwidth, has accepted the apology and dropped the topic.
My belief is that there are too many media outlets and not enough news - that once reputable reports now go digging for the most sensationalistic stories, true or not, in the spirit of competition. Where does that leave the general public? Discussing Jon and Kate, David and Sarah over the water cooler, instead of Obama's newest health care policy ideas or that this is the last year for a once iconic vehicle to be launched into OUTER SPACE.

Yet another gripe.
Comcast.
On my bill, dated 12/27/07, DVR was $11.95 per month. Now?? A year later?? $15.95. A 25% increase in a year?????!?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

It's the Important Things That Truly Matter
I get free coffee/tea at work.
We have a handful of moderately cared for K-cup coffee machines, and an assortment of flavored coffees and teas to choose from. In my current state of mind, I feel like being whiny and picky.
I have a morning routine. I pop the last used k-cup out of the holder. I fill my mug with 10 ounces of hot water to clear out the last bits of coffee from the previous user. I then take a paper towel and wipe down the spout where the water/coffee/tea comes out (every time, without fail, I wipe out coffee grinds and gook. Yes, gook). Then I feel like I've done my part to eradicate any coffee flavor, and can brew my tea.
This process may seem tedious and obsessive-compulsive, but for those of you who know of my sensitive palette, it is a necessary evil. So today, after completing my de-coffee-ing procedure for the 2nd time, I was sorely disappointed when I walked away with french roast flavored green tea.
These are the trying times in my life. Thanks for listening.
