Moan of the day 28/01/09

I have a cold. I started to feel ill on Sunday & even though the worst is over I know I'm going to feel like s*** for a least the rest of the week. I hate having a cold. It makes you feel like crap but you know it's 'just a cold' and it's not going to kill you and you'll get hardly any sympathy.

Moan of the day 20/01/09

I was waiting for the bus tonight at an open bus shelter when some twat got his knickers in a twist just because an elderly chap was having a cigarette. He stood they waving his hand around and scowling. What an arsehole! Fussing over a bit of fag smoke while standing an a busy roadside with all the car, lorry and bus fumes. Get a f***king life!

Moan of the week 18/01/09

Mobile phones can be extremely useful. For example to let someone know when you're running late or to contact someone in an emergency. However I can't believe some of the one sided conversions I overhear. Surely no one needs to share every f***ing detail of their f***ing existence over the phone, in public? There is something seriously wrong with these people. I am sick and tired of hearing people gabber on and on and on about nothing. No one else cares about your sad little life! Please stop inflicting it's pathetic detail on the rest of the world!

Moan of the day 15/01/09

I must be insane - I've been to another meeting. Okay this one is called a steering group rather than a committee but it's the same f***ing thing. I must stop!

Moan of the day 14/01/09

This is not so much a moan as a warning - never, ever, join a committee. Nothing ever changes and you have the same discussions over and over and over again!

Moan of the week 10/01/09

I'm back. The reason I've not posted for a while is not because I've given up moaning but because I've spend so much time at work staring at the computer screen I just couldn't be arsed to go even switch my home pc on! That and the fact I'm a lazy cow as well as a moany one.

So what to complain about this week? Work, people, the weather? All annoying in their way but I thought why not moan about the fact that I can't have a cigarette in a pub or cafe or restaurant.

I know smoking isn't good for me but everyone has to have at least one vice. What pisses me off is that if everyone gave up smoking the government would lose far more in tax revenue than it would save through the alleged cost to the NHS. What's more considering there is always talk of a pensions crisis because people are living longer, the fact that us smokers apparently die young means we are doing the country a service! But what really makes me mad is the reason given for banning smoking in public buildings is supposed to be to protect the workers, yet every time I walk past a pub or restaurant I see the staff outside having a fag.
Tobacco is not an illegal substance so leave us smokers alone!

Today I have been thinking about New Year's Resolutions

Being bored at work I began to think about New Year's Resolutions. It is that time of year after all and you can tell this by the number of ads for nicotine replacement products!
Now as you would expect from an moany old cow & full-time cynic like me, I don't go in for New Year's Resolutions. However, like many a pessimist, I am deep down a closet optimist. Despite myself I can't help but hope that next year will be better than this year.
And that makes me ask myself 'what can I do to improve my life?' Give up being a moany old cow, I hear you cry. Never! If there is one thing I will never give up it's moaning! Even though the one thing I would like to be more than anything is to be content. Sigh!
