Re: Can I vent?
Posted by lis on 5/16/08
It's been a frustrating day here, too. But your story reminded
me of the time I got a ticket when I was only a few YARDS from
the school driveway. The policeman was not nice. He gave me a
$100 ticket and it was my last day at that school. It just
makes you want to say "AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!"
I hope your program goes well........At least you have the
weekend to chill.
