A Little Rant Before Bedtime

Numero Uno - I am now a myspace geek and I'm collecting friends like trading cards. Tragically, none of my friends are actually on myspace so all the people who I have listed as my friends are actually either Bex's friends or Josh's friends or Radio Stations. I've spent the entire evening with this dreadfully annoying man that I work with - everyday I work with him I promise myself that I will start afresh and try again to like him. And everyday his generally irritating behaviour pips me at the gate. His inability to drop his annoying mannerisms and conversation topics so that I can like him are yet another example of how freaking annoying he really is. His attitude towards women is so patronising it makes me want to vomit all over him. His aim in life is to be a National politician (ie centre right bigot). He reads Classical authors and makes the hugest big deal out of it to show us all that he's not merely a barista, but also highly intelligent and well read. And then I start panicking and worry that I'm like that too... Although he was talking about his mother's passion for polo today and I started raving on about Jilly Cooper novels and I think that perhaps I maybe provided enough of a foil in terms of reading material so that I didn't look like a complete wanker. Oh, and I'm trying so hard to like him and I know he's not a bad person and it annoys me that he won't allow me to like him by his being so awful. Jeebers, I feel bad bitching about him too. Why does he has to be mostly nice and annoying?! So freaking annoying. Now this post is annoying too.
