My Life is Full of First-World Problems

Posted in Reflection by KT
Dec 06 2012

Oh Lord, it is hard to be me, this week, what with all my suburban, white-privilege type problems. Internet, pet me, because Oh How I Suffer!

Exhibit A:

Moving was hard. So hard that we basically stuck most of the boxes in the basement, split between two storage rooms. The helpful movers stacked the boxes side-by-side, 5 high, in a giant brick, hemmed in on 2 sides by walls. Somewhere, in one of those bricks, is Box #32, “Xmas linens”, according to my numbered moving list, and contains our tree skirt. Until we find it, our tree is sitting skirtless in the front window. This bothers me way more than it should, considering I also can’t find the box with half my work-related books and files, or the box that contains our financial records.

Conclusion: Poor ME!

Exhibit B:

I am avoiding the mess that is unpacking by diligently scouting the Radley web site for items to place on my Radley wishlist, in the hopes of winning their “Win your Wishlist’ contest. But every time I add something and then try to go back to shopping, the site logs me out, forcing me to log back in again before I add the next item.

Conclusion: WOE is ME!

Exhibit C:

I am currently going through the archives for this site, and all the other sites I have had over the years, and trying to figure out what to restore, and what to let go. I started this web nonsense in 1995, so – a lot of archives, that span from the before-I-was-married version of me to the ‘two-kids-in-the-burbs’ version. Is it too much to repost? Even a decade of archives seems really excessive, somehow. I don’t know the answer. I don’t even know the question. Does anyone other than me care about this?

Conclusion: I Have Unimportant Problems That Weigh Heavily On Me!

Exhibit D:

I made an awesome Xmas playlist, but when I transferred it from my desktop to my iPhone, it somehow deleted the playlist from my computer (although it is on my phone). Now I can’t edit it the way I want to, and I can’t easily download that music back to my desktop music folder. Also, iTunes keeps duplicating songs on me, which messes with the shuffle feature.

Conclusion: POOR ME!

I assume you are all getting out your black-bordered note cards and writing me sweet notes of sympathy and support in this difficult time.
