Annoyed
You know - it really fucking sucks when you plan on doing something and technology poops out on you. I'm so annoyed that you can't re-start a computer on a remote connect. Yes I know why you can't - but it doesn't help me do my work when the program is fucked up and the only way to fix it is to restart the whole damn machine. Fucking A! So now I'm stuck doing work that I really don't want to be doing - nor did I bring home the right paperwork to do it - so it's much harder than it should be.
I wouldn't be working if I could sleep; but I can't. So instead of whining about the fact that I can't sleep I'm going to whine about the fact that my remote desktop has stupid limitations that annoy me. So there!
My poor little nose is a little sun burnt still. I guess it was too much to take for it to be outside unprotected for a few hours. I'm so dumb sometimes to forget stupid stuff like sunscreen. Whatevers - hopefully I won't get skin cancer in the end (yes it does run in my family - my grandfather actually got skin cancer on the tip of his nose!)
Whenever I think of family I always think of my mom's side first. My dad's side is just an after thought. Does this happen to anyone else? My mom's side is larger, more organized, more... family like. They still hang out with each other - they make an effort to go see each other, they get in fights, but they still act like family. We still have dinner together when people are all in ohio - and if anyone is in ohio for any reason - they make it a point to stop by and see my grandparents. My dad's side though I rarely see anyone. They have events - but they're always at really dumb times. Like last year they were mad b/c I didn't show up for their little new years eve get together. It's like they forget that I'm not a freshman in high school anymore. They don't get along well - rather they don't make up with each other after fighting as well. And they are all really weird, introverted, quirky individuals. I haven't seen my cousins on my dad's side for like 2 or 3 years. (Probably since Erin's wedding actually -- and that was a while ago....) But I see at least some of my cousins about every 6 months on my mom's side. The whole thing is so weird to think about the disparities between different families and how they interact.
When I think of family I think of all the times mom's side gets togethers, the weddings, baby pools, wedding pools (which btw I think Mark won this round by grabbing up Jeff first... I think I might be next on the list dun dun dun... maybe Pat is though?), holiday rituals, thanksgivings, etc. There's such a rhythm and ritual to it all. It's weird to think what it would have been like without that. It doesn't seem like people with small families necessarily get together any more than our big family... I don't think most families are as ritualistic or as planned with events as our either. I guess I'm pretty lucky - it's got to be hard not to have a family that large.
