Saying it here so I don't say it out loud at work: I think it is ridiculous that my boss's doctor gave her a prescription for antibiotics. She has a cold! A bad cold, but a cold.
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe I can get everything annoying out of the way today!
I've done my bit for annoying task doing!
I've already been to the Dept. of Public Transit to transfer our residential parking permit to the new car, and then the FasTrak offices to get a new transponder ("That's not even a word!") and have it registered to the new car.
Actual annoyance: Minimal. In and out within ten minutes at both places.
Total Cost: $10.00.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What is a transponder and why does your car need one registered to it? Is it one of those fancy city-driving thingamabobs?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm assuming it's for one of those automatic tollway things. Those transponders need to be registered to a particular car.

It's for toll roads, Teppy--which probably means the bridges in San Francisco. I have one for the Chicago area and the Indiana/Illinois toll roads. Makes travelling a lot faster.

I am trying to get a handle on my annoyances at work (detailed above). Some of the work that came to me in Nov is supposed to be split with 2 other people - the annoyances are many but 1) things not being done on time 2) things being done wrong
are high on the list. I have decided I'd rather be annoyed by more work and just do it myself and avoid these headaches. And yes I know that means the tasks will just become my responsibility.

It allows me to drive through the toll plaza of the Bay Bridge and then electronically deduct the toll without needing change or to stop.
So imagine a little plastic rectangle velcroed to the left corner of the front windshield that beeps as I shoot through the FasTrak lanes (which are always open on the weekend as tourists don't get the FasTrak and commuters don't want to go back to the city on the weekend).
Also, the readout at the tollbooth says: "Valid Etc" when you go through. We find this mysterious but validating.

That doesn't count! I'm trying to decide if I should get back on hold with the help desk people, even though I submitted an online request this morning.

We have a toll road out here and come June, they are taking out the toll booths. If you don't have a transponder, you will get a bill in the mail based on your license plate.
Luckily we don't use that road much, it is between us and the airport and there are alternate ways to the airport, but I got a transponder anyway just to avoid the hassle.
