Being a person with incontinence because of Spina Bifida means that I need regular supplies shipped to my house in Bulk every month. I'm annoyed right now because of the delivery service + person from Purolator. I'm pretty damn sure we (my family) has instructions for them to drop these supplies in the back of the house. They are large boxes. It makes sense to put them on the deck. For some reason, more often than I care to admit, the delivery people are alternately under the impression that the instructions are for the front of the house, not the back.
It annoys me because I just had to spend the last 10 minutes carrying these boxes from the front to the back of the house. I have a fairly strong upper body but I can't depend on strength in my lower legs, which is non existent comparatively to other people. I'm more aggravated that some delivery people either don't have or don't care enough to consider the customer. These are classified as health/medical supplies. How are they to know that I'm not a disabled person who's entirely incapable of carrying heavy supplies. What if I was somebody who was wheelchair bound or also had issues with the use of my hands or feet. I'm not exactly one who thinks that disabled people need assistance with many things. Most of the social attitudes and offers of assistance are entirely uncalled for and at worst belittling and disrespectful. I even asked the delivery person if he could bring the supplies to the back. All he said was "but I'm almost finished bringing all of them" and didn't think there was anything necessary about my request. The first thing I said to him was that we have instructions to bring them to the back of the house. All he said was that he'd check in with distribution about the delivery instructions. I doubt he even did that.
Sorry, I need expression of petty annoyances otherwise they'll be unnecessarily redirected into an unneeded argument with somebody else who has nothing to do with any of it. I really don't like arguments at all. Well enough of that. I'm just gonna spend the rest of my day looking forward to watching the 3rd audition show of "So You Think You Can Dance" U.S.
Hmm....
Anybody else who's seen the new Star Trek movie think that Spock probably wanted to say "James Kirk, YOU DICKHEAD" in pretty much every scene until they reconcile and become friends. With that thought in mind, I quote Leonard Nimoy in the original Star Trek, and this one.
