Death by a thousand cuts

pphaneufI'm finding that I'm under a lot of stress, and I'm a bit surprised. It's been sneaking up to me, in a bunch of little things, all fairly low stress independently, but they pile up to make a large mound, it seems.
Doing okay at work, but it's sort of boring work. I'm breaking even in what I should be doing and what I'm actually doing, which is fine, but I wanted to get some advance, so eep.
My remote control is broken. It's not really broken, it's just the software, but when I press "play", it doesn't play. I'm switching to Rhythmbox, and I swear, I'll win this war. It might take me some time, but if I can reduce the amount of sucking in the universe by the tiniest amount by fixing my remote control, I'll do it. I like the playlist management, and it's a non-offensive UI at first glance, which is rather rare. I will not breakdown and write another freakin' media player!
I need money. What's new?
I have to scream at a bunch of people to get various things done or stopped doing (like sucking money out of my account for no good reason, not helping!).
My apartment is getting worse and worse, despite me actually cleaning up. But it always seem that when I clean up one corner, I have to have a plumber come and kick my toilet on it's side and put plaster crud everywhere.
My bathtub still gets rusty water.
I have to do large amounts of laundry (I have no dryer, so I have to manage laundry carefully). I think I'll go to a laundromat and just do it all in a single shot. Just need to grab a good book with me...
Lack of time is annoying me. I'm actually glad![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
azrhey is off to England rather than being here, because I feel I'd just have nowhere to slice in time with her, and that would piss me off. I end up just giving up and going bowling anyway, and then working at home until 4am. Smart.
I have to leave now (I'm at the office at 2am, of course), so I can go to bed immediately and get up not so late to run off at the laundromat, possibly to spend time screaming at people on the phone while waiting.
