I'm over it!

Since it's been a while since I raged, here (in no particular order) is a little for you. Today, here are a few things that I am officially over:

• Lean Cuisines. I eat one every day for lunch and I'll admit it: I hate them. Yes, there are few that are tolerable, actually even palatable, and they're considerably less expensive than going out to lunch. However, I'm sick and tired of eating them. Even if they change their packaging and add new items to the selection. Hey, Stouffer's? You're not fooling me by serving the same "chicken with almonds" as you always did even though its now labeled as part of the "Cafe Classics" line.
• Ex-boyfriends (including any and all "psuedo-boyfriends"). Yes, that's right. Every last one of them. Finally.
• Brangelina. Jen's right. Who cares if they're dating/adopting African babies/riding dirt-bikes with Angelina's mowhawked kid. Not me.
• The fact that our temp secretary is calling me by my last name instead of my first name. I corrected her a few times, but I'm done doing it. Hello? My business card is taped to your computer. You can read, can't you?
• Professional Athletes. No, you do not "deserve" to make more money. You get paid to play a game. Let me repeat that: You get paid to play a game.
• Trying to explain computer-related things to my boss. I get it. You're old. You don't get the new fangled "technology." You refer to your iPod as your "PDA." Just please stop asking me to show you how to do things. It'll go a lot quicker if I just do them myself.
• Networking. I understand that I'm relatively new to my profession, and that I need to make "contacts." I'm just tired of schmoozing with fake business-y people who say things like, "Think outside the box" and "welcome aboard." There is no box. I am not on board.
