Bad Girl Blog Break

I'm sick of researching biochemicals and various diseases and conditions.
I'm not nearly doing as much work as I shoud be.

After getting the mail recently, I found there was a letter adressed to me, and this made me happy as I adore getting snail mail. Then I saw that it was from the Town of Markham Public Libraries. Inside, it said the following:

As of the date of this mailing, Library records show the following outstanding charges. Please return this notice with your payment to the above Library branch.

There were thirteen items on the list and the grand total came to $11.25. As if that wasn't bad enough, at the bottom of the letter it said:

You may need to add "Total This Bill" plus "Previous Balance" for the total.

I never, never, never used to have overdue library books. Up until last year, that is; then it all changed. The first half of 2002 sure was sucky for me.

2003 isn't looking so fantastic either...although I sincerely hope that will change. It's unfortunate that I've been melancholy for the last day or two. Don't you hate it when you're faced with a particularly adverse, unfriendly situation and are powerless to fix it? Isn't it even worse when those who do have to ability to remedy the situation do nothing in that regard?
A few things I despise: adults who act like they have the maturity level of a seven year old, people who are unwilling to compromise, those who go on power trips and commence to rule with an iron fist. Throw me into a situation with all these characteristics? Well, let's just say you don't want to do that.

My solution:
I went outside with my camera and snapped pictures of the winter wonderland that was before me. For the first time in too long, I built a snowman. And then I proceeded to take a picture of him too. I only headed indoors when I was nicely covered in snow, thought my fingers were getting frostbitten and after I had nestled my little snowman in some bushes. Everything needs a home.
