- Peeve: people who point out that they've only suffered for 12 hours, at the
- very time when I've just noticed it's been screwing up my life for a full
- *week*
-
- Peeve: opportunistic sinus infections, that get you when you're weakened
- by an otherwise wimpy cold.
-
- Peeve: driving 100+ miles each way to see my family for Christmas
-
- !Peeve: I'm not a 3 hour flight away any more
-
- Peeve: if I didn't, my brother would probably skip going, and both
- grandmothers would be *really* disappointed
-
- Peeve: travelling 100+ miles to see family, and then having *no* voice
-
- Peeve: that I had to *lie* to my gramma - "I don't feel as bad as I sound"
-
- !Peeve: that once you feel this miserable, it's quite unlikely that you're
- still contagious.
-
-
-
- !Peeve: I feel a little better now. I guess this serves the purpose
- one would expect of alt.vent.spleen
