Do I just have a flashing neon sign

that says "I don't matter?"

Every now and the the world conspires against me and makes me feel like why should I bother.

Today is a prime example.

I had made arrangements a month ago for the Salvation Army to come today to pick up the stuff that didn't sell in the Garage Sale.

I got up early today and went to the Doma to haul the stuff out of the garage and into the Driveway so that it was there for them to pick up.

I go out to sit outside on my lunch and I get the sound of voicemail received (my cell doesn't get reception in the office). I check my voicemail and it's them saying "oh, we are down a driver and are pushing your pick up until the 27th of July."

So of course I call them upon my return and say "um... no. I"m moving. It needs to be gone by the end of the month. If you can't do it, I"ll call the Good Will or AmVets." So now it's been pushed to June 27th. Yeah. so on my birthday I have to go over in the morning and once again haul it all out of the garage and into the driveway.

This is me not thrilled. What is it with people breaking appointments with me?

Honestly? The problem is that the people you're dealing with for freecycle and the SA collectors are people who are there for the things not for the people.

They want the stuff. They don't want to deal with you.

Is not about you, is about your stuff. They want the stuff for free, easy, and with minimal effort on their part.

These people will seldom bother to be on time and certainly won't bother saying thank you or please.

Sorry. I'll get my super soaker and be waiting for them in your garage.
