The bars in any city tend to be horrible during the gay pride weekend. I've always found San Francisco bars friendly than New York even before my friends bought bars there. It's the core of social alcoholics that make it possible to socialize as a visitor.
TICTH once a year public drinkers. We know about them for Christmas parties, Paddy's Day and birthdays. Looks like you get once a year gay public drinkers too.

The heat. Admittedly not bad by New York or Atlanta standards since sans a fair bit of the humidity but this area (Palo Alto) isn't suppose to get into the high 90s (Farenheit) and over 100 in some nearby places. And then it was raining, in late June!, earlier this week.
And at least it isn't Needles.

Dishwashers. I'm still working on scrubbing the remains of the stickers off the front (and that's another thing to CTH - the immovable glutinity of those things) and already it's gone from sparkly clean glassware to dirtier-than-when-it-went-in.

Joe's Crab Shack is a many restaurant chain. I ate at one in San Diego. You're not missing much with your boycott. It may be like Sonic Drive-in here, where a local TV network is selling commercial time for restaurants that are in the area of a another station.

TICTH the church where I have to play the Pastoral Symphony tonight. Yes it looks very pretty. Father Thingummy is a a nice guy. The acoustics OTOH are straight from the echo chamber of hell, ringing round and round and round for about five years and I can't hear a bloody thing.
Actually that's not quite true. I also CTH the trombone section for blowing those things so bloody loud that the whole orchestra has turned into one incoherent great mass of tromboniness.
(For all I know it might sound quite nice from the point of view of the audience but sitting in the cello section is going to be misery.)

TICTH poison ivy and the rainy weather.
Poison ivy has popped up at several places in my yard, and I want to spray it with herbicide. However, the herbicide needs twenty-four hours in contact with dry leaves. The weather is not cooperating.
Here is the forecast from this NWS site. quote:
an area of upper level low pressure will remain west of the mountains over the next few days keeping a deep southerly flow of tropical moisture across the region. This combined with weak upper level disturbances will result in rounds of heavy rain producing showers and thunderstorms through late in the week.
Meanwhile the poison ivy is happily lapping up all that moisture.

How the fuck are we supposed to "deliver at pace*" when our managers refer everything up the line to their managers? It's a month since we presented our report, per requirements, on time and under budget and have they signed it off? Have they buggery. I expect Vince Cable will have to see it before anyone dares to give us the OK.
I consign the lot of them to Hell. Including Vince.

TICTH The section of the city council here that grants building permits. They have been proved to be incompetent in that they have approved the building of unsafe structures.
FFS over a hundred people were killed in an unsafe building here in 2011. Are they trying for a new record
This has also led to further delays in getting the city rebuilt.

TICTH migraines.
I had TWO fucking cocktails last night, neither of them had wine or cider in them, and now I need to expend one of my precious sumatriptan on stopping the fucking migraine that is beginning to bubble out of my head and make me feel sick and squished, and starting to make my head pound. Bastard bastard bastard thing. I want to mash it with a big masher.

TITCH people who can't follow simple instructions.
To the people concerned (who fortunately don't read ship of fools and this is as generic as it comes anyway): Yes, I may have made a shed-load of money out of your incompetence both this week and last week, but I would really appreciate when my side of something works faultlessly, not having to bug-fix yours, particularly when I had most of this week ring-fenced to work on some personal stuff, not on fixing the fact that you can't do your job. Particularly when I have given you short, simple, patient instructions on how to do your side of it. I'm sure your boss (who I am charging by the nose, I am a free-lance consultant, after all, and when I demonstrated the product every bloody time for the last six months with upgrades requested by you idiots to fix other problems caused by your incompetence, I have been faultless and hit every deadline) is as unhappy with your idiocy as I am.

Dear Charity - you know I support you, or I wouldn't have been giving you money all these years. I know you would like me to give you more, and to that end will spend quite a long time working through your script for the call. I've explained to you before why I won't respond to this approach. I've told you on each of the four occasions you've phoned in the last couple of weeks that I don't want to even start the whole tedious exchange. Once more and the hungry, blind, oppressed kittens of Africa will have to get by without my support.

I third the TICTH for migraines. I keep wanting to be able to take my body apart for DIY repairs.
Right now, mid-migraine, the worst is the basilar part, which involves the base of my head and down into my neck.

I'll happily donate each of my migraines to politicians who are against the Affordable Health Care Act. For educational purposes, of course.
