No more mourning...plus, people are annoying...

My friends, my friends, it is with a giddy heart and hand that I write this boog to you today. After spending yesterday being alternately sad...then mad...then sad...then mad about The Golden Girls, I'm happy to report that they were not permanently removed from the television orbit as I was led to believe. Turns out, the young whippersnappers over at the Hallmark Network decided to buy the rights to the Fabulous Foursome, adding them to their hip new lineup. They will be keeping company with the likes of the Camdens, the Ricardos and the sly-like-a-fox Jessica Fletcher. Methinks the gals will have no problem fitting in. The only down side to this channel switch is that now there are 2 hours of The Golden Girls every night, and like crack, once I take my first hit I can't stop until it's all gone. Do not be surprised if my future boogs have an incoherent nature due to sleep deprivation.

On a more annoying note, people...are annoying. This morning while getting my morning cup of Premium House Blend 7-11 coffee, I was annoyed...by a person. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the coffee corral layout at 7-11's...but for those of you who are not, I'll do my best to take you there...using my words as a vehicle...but a more clean vehicle than Reggie...who could use a good cleaning...and some interior detailing as well...and probably some dental work. AnyKwik-E-Mart, so the coffee corral is made up of a long island which is accessible on both sides. There are 4 cupots(cup depots), 2 on either side of the island, at opposite ends. There is a filling station at each end of the island and each station contains, oh, 37 pots of different coffees. In the middle of the island is a tower containing various coffdiments(coffee condiments), lids, and stirrers. During coffeesh hour(coffee rush hour), I think the corral could hold 6 people comfortably...1 person at each of the 4 cupots, and one person on either side of the island utilizing the coffdiments. This morning, I approached the coffee corral and saw that I was the only person there. Naturally, I went to the closest cupot to grab a cup. I mean, the coffee corral isn't a gas station...there's no unspoken rule about pulling up to the furthest pump when the station is empty so that someone can pull in behind you. And you certainly won't get berated in the coffee corral for that offense like you might at a gas station...by a crazy old man in a jalopy...with only 1 square foot of his windsheild cleaned off in the middle of a frozen blizzard...who is also smoking while walking past your car and saying "Jeez Louise, common sense tells you to pull all the way forward to the first pump". Anycuckoo, as I started to fill my cup w/ coffee, a man in a suit entered the corral...and stood right behind me. Like, all up on me. Seriously, he was so close that if I turned around too quickly, I would've gotten pregnant. I couldn't figure out why this dude just HAD to be in the only spot in the whole corral that was actually occupied. My eyes darted around to see if maybe the coffees were different at the 2 filling stations and that's why he wanted my spot. But no, it was the same coffee and all the pots were full. I quickly looked at the other cupot on my side of the island to see if perhaps it was empty. But no, the cups were plentiful. Finally, my cup was full so I was able to try and get out of the uber uncomfortable "might as well just hop on my back for a piggy-back ride" situation. However, the Space Invader was still standing pregnant close to me, so I couldn't turn and walk the 2 steps to coffdiment tower, I had to actually shuffle sideways to get there. As I was shuffling awkwardly(is there ever a shuffle that isn't awkward? There's like nothing natural about shuffling...unless you're Truffle Shuffling. That's a totally natural shuffle), it occurred to me that maybe this gent wanted to use the machine that offers specialty items like lattes and cappuccinos and other foamy delights, which is located on the other side of the filling station that I had been using. So I stopped my coffaration(coffee preparation) and stared at him waiting to see what he would do. Imagine my anger when I saw him grab a cup, fill it with standard Premium House Blend Coffee, toss a lid on that sucker and head for the register. What...the...eff...rude man in suit? There were 3 other empty spots you could have used and yet you had to wait for the one I was filling? I had half a mind to walk up right behind him at the register and just kind of, lean into him and look off in the opposite direction. But we all know I'm too much of a wimp to actually do that, so I just chuckled at the mental image and finished adding my 82 Land 'O Lakes Mini Moos.

So great news on The Golden Girls front, but even that great news doesn't stop annoying people from being...annoying.
