you really grind my gears

this friday is muchly needed. after a week of waiting with baited breath to hear back on a job....

i'm still waiting.

which really grinds my gears, peter griffin.

here's another list of things that grind my gears.

1. old ladies that wear tank tops

this is a phenomenon that was first introduced to me at usu. i had a professor. she loved tank tops. she loved tank tops in the winter. she loved tank tops in the spring. she loved them always.

it wasn't like she had a nasty body. in fact, she had better arms than most of us, but she was over 35. 35 isn't old, but for the love of all things sartorial, wear some sleeves. (cough...kelly rippa...cough.) and i find it's mostly business women that like to rock this style. and it usually involves a turtleneck. wtf? a tank top turtleneck? it's just unprofessional or weird or i don't know what--it's just...old lady arms. cover them up. especially in professional settings.

i can't find a good picture of a business woman tank top, but here's kind of what i'm talking about. it's just wrong.

***update! i found a picture!***

that is EXACTLY what i am talking about here, kids. there's no way you don't agree with me. no way.

2. jillian michaels

she might be a man. in fact, 90% of my spidey senses confirm this is true.

it was bad enough having her on biggest loser, but now she's on infomercials all day long invading my couch time with her husky man voice demands to lose weight now with her new cleanse or nordic track treadmill!

i don't trust trannies, jillian.

3. public service announcements

does anyone really watch these? or more importantly, does anyone actually watch these and feel moved to action?

my personal favorite is the national guard previews that have taken over dollar theater previews.

or the old school "the more you know" PSA's.

but actually, nothing is better than "family: isn't it about.....time?"

4. lol

your 1995 aol chat room called. it wants its phrase back.

5. lobsterfest at red lobster

i feel like it's always lobsterfest at red lobster. and i feel like these commercials telling me that it's "that time of year again" are deceiving. when does lobsterfest end or begin? it doesn't! i smell a conspiracy.

ps, who even goes to red lobster? weirdos.

of course, what would a things that must go post be without a weekly WIN! brought to you by awkward family photos?

absolutely stunning.

and just because i'm so sick of this week of my utter discontent, here's another one of my all-time favorite WINS!. i've posted this before, but that was when me and maybe mitch read my blog, so here it is again. (marci, i will always love you for bringing this to my attention.)

if you never watch videos that i post, at least watch this one. it will get your weekend started right...and that feels great! ooooh!!!

see you monday.
