Peevishness in 2002

We report that our New Year's Resolution of many moons ago to not make New Year's Resolutions still stands.

Instead, The Band wishes to share its latest pet peeves:

Office politiks -- because they suck, in general and, more to the point, they illustrate daily -- if not minute by passing minute -- most and sometimes all of humanity's ugly insecurities. (BTW -- if you haven't lately, visit lola, who is a veritable fountain of introspection.)

People and groups who refer to new choices as additional burdens, instead of additional responsibilities.

TOP 40 RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Non-news stories that are reported as if they are news (see: the weather on any given day)

Slow downloads

Winter

War

That no major phone company, to the best of our knowledge, has yet realized that if they would package a land line, long distance, a cell phone, CATV and DSL service together, for a reasonable price, like say $50/mo, everyone would buy it.

Outdated traditions, in all their forms.

People who get pets and then treat them as if they are stuffed animals, instead of living creatures.

When partners insist that when they begin to fade at day's end they simply can't turn in w/out you.

More as they occur to us.
