Just put the phone down!

Let me just preface this rather critical post by saying that I'm a pretty laid-back person. Things that bother most people, do not usually bother me. I like to take it easy and I'm pretty go-with-the-flow. However, one things that is totally obnoxious is when people use cell phones in completely inappropriate situations. Let me give you a few examples that I've encountered recently:

If you're in a pet store, browsing around for doggie bones and the like, it's probably not a good time to have an intense argument about the custody of your children on your cell phone.

When you're a patient at a physical therapy clinic, and you're trying to make appointments, or better yet, you're actually in the middle of your appointment with the therapist, this is also not a very good time for a cell phone conversation about what you're going to cook for dinner later that evening.

When you're driving along the highway, going 65+ mph, it's probably not a good time to pick up the phone, get into a heated conversation involving boisterous waving of appendages, and swerve back and forth between multiple lanes of traffic. (I personally don't have anything against a phone call while you're driving now and again, but if you can't keep the vehicle on the road while doing so, please refrain)

When you're in the quiet study section of the library at Liberty University and your roommate/friend/whomever calls, it is not the correct time or place to raise your voice at them in frustration because you "are in the library working on the homework assignments that you didn't have the time to finish last night!" And, for what it's worth, a one page paper is definitely not the most difficult of assignments that you'll have in college, so you may want to keep that in mind as well, when complaining at the top of your lungs.

I think that's all I've got for now. So, what's bugging you guys lately?

EDIT: Very shortly after I posted this, my boyfriend texted me with a worthy addition to the list. He went into a public restroom and someone in one of the stalls was having an indepth conversation while on the toilet. Really, people?!?!

This calls for a celebration!

Today was my last day at work! That's another perk of going away to college; you get to quit your job and start over somewhere new. I am really excited about that! And my now ex-coworkers are great and gave me some nice going-away things.

I've also decided after hardly any deliberating at all that I'm keeping the name la aventurista. Thanks for your input, ladies. I realized that I picked the name in the first place for a good reason and that I like it a lot! So I'm keeping it :)

I'm currently on a housesitting adventure for the owner of two boxers. While I generally have nothing against boxers, I'm thinking this may begin to change, because one of these has diarrhea on the carpet literally every time I leave the house, no matter how short an amount of time it is. It's getting really old. Usually, I'm not too easily grossed out, but cleaning up somebody else's dog's crap is one of the lowest points that a person can get to.

I also figured out how to post on the blog via text message (no data plan for me yet), but at this point I don't see how it would really be worth it since you can only successfully post 160 characters or less. So maybe I'll use this for very short blog entries when I don't have computer/internet access. Otherwise, I don't really see how it would be helpful.
