Reliability is like virginity, increasingly hard to find.

Why can't people just do as they say they will? It's been driving me to distraction lately. My life would involve a whole lot less fucking aggravation if people were reliable.

Fucking DBS calls me back today to grovel a bit, someone higher up the food chain, having a greater ability for more independent thought but still possessing a rudimentary tail. It was all wah wah wah until he said something which sounded like he thought that maybe I hadn't been entirely truthful ("I'm just trying to find out what's going on, because you have one version of the story and the department is saying something else." That's when I cocked the verbal shotgun and let him have it with both barrels. Eventually he said that if I got a fine from IRAS, he'd try and get the money credited back to me. By the time I had hung up, he people sitting enar me on the bus had subtly inched away.

NONE of this would be an issue if people just did as they said they would.

Arising out of a heated discussion between myself and Punky whether Elf was a stupid show (he loved it, I refused to believe it was any good), it was agreed that tonight was to be Housemate Movie Night. In exchange for me and LovesHerDog watching Elf, Punky would watch Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and we would order pizza and pig out. But by 7:30, LovesHerDog was nowhere to be seen still and Punky and I were starving. Punky was cooking pasta and I had raided the fridge for leftovers by the time LoesHerDog actually got back. So, no pizza, no movie, VERY hungry.

Again, why is it that people can't just fucking do as they say?

JUST FUCKING GET IT DONE IF YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING DO IT!

I am fucking, fucking tired of people being unreliable and flaking out me when I rely on them. This does NOT help with the hovering dark cloud.
