That Crazy Moon

Image via Wikipedia

I am a firm believer that the moon affects our moods. If the moon can move the oceans, surely it can affect how I feel. I wondered why I was feeling so crappy last night. I checked the moon cycle this morning. The new moon is on Monday and I have found that typically about 2-3 days before the new or full moon I get irritable as all get out. I was ill as wet hen last night. My mood has not improved this morning. The only other thing that can get me this irritated is when my blood sugar gets too low.

Now I am not the only one who is affected by the moon. Wouldn’t that be funny if it was just me? The rest of the world is just as easily affected as me, though! I talked to a lot of people last night and a few were not too nice. I was like, “Are you trying to make me scream?!” I didn’t scream, but I sure wanted to.

I suppose the people I dealt with last night and this morning should be quite grateful that I have a filter. Otherwise I might have cussed them up one side and down the other. And I really don’t want to be that way, but I also don’t want to feel so angry that I have to wait until I am safely in my car with the windows up before I say all the ugly words I want to say. I wish my Mama could see that I really did listen when she told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say then to say nothing at all. (well, to the person I want to say it to) She would have been proud of me. I only cursed in the car! Yay me!

Technology Woes

Technology hates me today. Maybe it is God’s way of telling me to clean my filthy house. But I haven’t been able to log on to the internet for longer than 10 minutes at a time and it is driving me crazy! I want to watch some Hulu! Is that so much to ask on my day off? Seriously! I have a freaking headache that feels as if it may make my innards become my outards. I want to lay around for a bit and just mindlessly drift away in a medicine-head coma. Is that too much to ask on my day off?

So because of the technological conundrum I have to call my dsl provider. That went well. The first call resulted in me being told by some foreign dude that I had no idea of what I was doing. Sorry, dude…I do know how to turn my computer on and off and I do know that the red lights on my modem mean that it is not working. So I called back and got an American with a southern accent. Yes! So she and I talked through it and I explained my issue. She was quite sympathetic and understood my plight. She got me back up and running and didn’t even fuss when I muttered some foul words.

Oh…that leads me to the automated system before I actually got to speak to someone. I hate automated systems. It asks you what you are calling for and you listen to the options and your problem is not in the list. What to do? You try to say that you want to ask for a customer service representative and it loops you around again. Over and over it plays and you get so frustrated that finally you scream a profane word and then POOF you finally get a customer service representative. I don’t get their logic. Do they want their employees to get screamed at? It’s not that you mean to do it. It’s just that you’re so angry by the time you get to the CSR that you are wound as tight as an 8 day clock.

Finally I have things up and running. I didn’t yell at the actual CSR. (only the recording) But I am frustrated that I pay so much money for such lousy service. I hate being without internet so much.
