I fell asleep too early last night so woke up REALLY early this morning. Been killing time here waiting for time to go to school. Decided some toast would taste good. Go in, get the toaster out and plugged in. Get the bread out of the freezer. All good so far. But then the crisis--I needed to cut the new butter up into sticks (my grocery store only carries the 1 pound hunk of butter). So now I have to wait about 30 minutes for the butter to get soft enough to use.

I hate when I have to wait for toast because the butter is too hard to spread.

What's your pet peeve crisis today?

Cut thin slivers of butter and let the heat of the toast melt it a bit then spread.

Maybe you're right.

There must be more to the question than I realized.

Pet peeve of the day: school lunch carbohydrate overload. Today they served kimchi, seaweed (for the vegetable side of things) followed by u-dong-guk, rice and bread. 3 big carbies per 1 vege serving? What are these guys thinking? Gnash, bite, snarl. Grr, even.

Whatever next, potato topped pizza???

Socks. The socks on this board are annoying me especially today. LOL~

There's also a weird repetitive banging sound coming from somewhere in the office... Now that I've focused on it, it's especially annoying....

No street names or addresses on buildings. I had to go to pizza hut on my way home, draw a map and explain. They could not find it, had someone from regional office who spoke some english call me. I had to go out on the street and wait for the guy.
