I like things to go my way. I don't feel bad about it because I know I'm not alone. And I know when things don't go my way, I'm going to get a little frustrated. I married a guy who thinks cleaning an entire bathroom - the sink, the toilet, the floor - with just one sponge is perfectly acceptable. This is frustrating to me, but thanks to my grandmother's advice I realize, atleast he's cleaning the bathroom.
I get frustrated by Home Depot. Specifically, the Home Depot 'drain'. That feeling I get as every ounce of energy in my being gets sucked out of me by a lack of employee help, endless aisles full of more things that I need or know how to use, and concrete floors. I waste many a brain calorie wondering if this large black tube 6" wide and 8' long is something I could use at my house. No? Well, what about the one that's only 4" wide and 6' long? No again? What about several black tubes that are only a metre long, and 2" in diameter? There must be something.... which one of these signs is the price of the short black tubes? This one? no. that one? no..... and on and on it goes.. I'm not letting Ikea off this hook, but at least at Ikea, there's a whole couch section and a whole bed section where you can rest up before enjoying a &1.99 breakfast with Swedish meatballs.
Today's frustration came from Facebook. While I am happy to be a part of the continuously growing popularity that is FB, I still have no problems admitting the main reason I caved and joined when I did comes from a pretty silver can, named Coors Light and his other five Coors Light friends.
Why does FB only allow you to be a member of one geographic network at a time? I am more than frustrated by this. I don't want to pigeon hole myself into the San Francisco network (no offence all my SF friends), after all, I only work in the city. I don't want to limit myself to San Jose, because I live in Mountain View. The Silicon Valley network works, but then I feel as though I am abandoning all connections to the True North Strong and Free. Why can't I be a member of a Canadian network at the same time I am a member of an American one? Even the U.S Government lets me hold two citizenships. (When I want to get around to it).
I decided to email my question to the Facebook developer team. I admit, mostly, to see what kind of form letter I get in response. Will let you know when I get them to change the rules.
