What Grinds Your Gears? :)

When you read a book and it doesn't have a happy ending - and you are completely emotionally unprepared for it.

Seriously y'all, I just spent a week working my way through a (mostly enjoyable and quite well-written) medieval romance novel, only for the two lovers to be declared guilty of treason by the wicked king and they got their heads chopped off.

It was the most depressing thing I've read in a long time - all the more so because, like the rest of the book, it was emotionally well-written - and I'm gonna be in a funk about it for days to come. Because I'm lame that way.

Also the phone company reset everything to the time zone in another state, meaning the alarm on my phone went off at 4.30am and as I'm a sad little member of the rat-race, firmly entrenched in my routine, I heard the alarm, got up and got ready as per normal and didn't realize what had happened until I was already at work.

I'm sleep-deprived and emotionally vulnerable - somebody, hold me!!!
