The broadband we've had for a year or so, whose speed is now worse than dial-up. It used to be top of the line, I just don't know what happened. I even thought it was malware and reformatted, but to no avail. Customer care is not helping... and because of the two-year contract we can't get rid of it, unless we want to pay the high fine.

I assign the two vile specimens of 'motherhood' who were drunk and shrieking at ear splitting volume about drunken exploits with blokes on the bus tonight and ignoring the two toddler girls with them despite the mites sitting there pleading "mamma" and turning to me for attention instead of their designer-clad mothers. Then one of these 'mothers' had the gall to give me a mouthful of abuse for glaring at her.

This is after spending part of the day at work reading about an investigation into child abuse and neglect cases.

I deal with people like that on a regular basis. It's a pity they don't appreciate what they have in their children, when so many other people long to be parents and cannot.
But then, it's the kids you really feel sorry for.

What was even more horrid was that one was clearly both mum to one of the tots and granny to the other. Grannies are supposed to be nice, loving people, aren't they? Not the sort of woman who would get drunk, swear and create mayhem.

I also assign the fact I'll probably run into them again unless I start using the car more.

I assign the extreme feeling of loss/missing out on something that I get in connection with the Barrow Downs.

This time it was when I saw all the Barrow Downer meetings that had taken place of late. . .I guess it was enhanced by the fact that I had not been on the barrow downs for a while and already felt that I had missed alot.

(I am finding it quite hard to keep up with University and being active on the Barrow downs at the same time)

Suddenly remembering something you said days ago and realizing it sounds rude/negative/insulting/ungrateful.

Fearing that you have a personality which dooms you to sounding mean when you don't mean to be.

Being chronically behind in your schoolwork - so far behind, marching into the afterlife and retrieving Spenser to have him write a paper on himself seems easier than catching up.

Knowing without a doubt that, at least physically, your best years are behind you.

Ok, now I've really gone and depressed myself... *sigh*
