Mar. 21st, 2014 04:48 pmI failed at getting up early today. Every so often on a commute day I'm able to get up by noon, but today that didn't happen. I wish I knew the secret of those people who manage to function really well on four hours of sleep a day. It feels like it would solve at least a few of my problems. At the very least I'd be able to drive home directly after work instead of having to come back here to sleep. Every time I drive home right after work I'm forced to stop halfway there at an On Route to nap in the car lest I cause an accident.
All that's left for me now is to pack up my stuff and make a detour to buy milk. I still have to wash and put away the dishes, too. Even if I weren't leaving, I found out the hard way that leaving dishes in the drying rack is a capital offence as far as my landlady is concerned. I left a plate, a pot and some cutlery to dry overnight, and got a very passive-aggressive "Oh, you're just leaving all your dishes there, I see," from her. This despite the fact that I was going to be the first person up the next morning, when I always put away dry dishes. I keep this kitchen cleaner than the one at home, but it seems that's not enough. Yet another reason to find a new place to stay, I think. This "You pay rent but I don't want to ever know you're here and also keep your stuff out of the common areas except when I want to use it" attitude is getting wearying to deal with.
In the meantime, I have decided that I don't want to be a negative presence on LiveJournal. No one wants to hear my complaining. So I'm going to try very hard to give up complaining in general. Here and on Twitter and IRL. If you never hear from me again, you'll know it's because I had nothing else to say. ;) But seriously, I have become an awful person lately and I don't like it. So, new leaf. No more complaining, ever. It won't be easy, because I do seem to enjoy complaining an awful lot and often I don't even realise I'm doing it. So if you catch me at it, you have my permission to verbally smack me upside the head and tell me not to be such a Debbie Downer.
