Complaints Department, Take a Number

Lately, I’ve been trying to stop complaining about the following four things (I was inspired by an article I read somewhere, not online, but for the life of me I can’t remember where):

1. Traffic
2. The weather
3. How tired I am
4. How much work I have to do

(I considered adding No. 5: My weight as well, but I was afraid I’d turn into a mute.)

I’m hoping that taking them out of my daily litany of topics will somehow make me a happier and more interesting person. So far, it’s been really hard, and I’ve slipped a lot — mostly on No. 3, mostly because of Daylight Savings Time. Enough of winter had finally passed so we were at the point where it was sort-of-almost-maybe light in the mornings, and now it’s back to pitch black when the alarm goes off. Screw. You. DST.

On a completely unrelated note, I would kill for a bag of Tostitos right now.
