I AM SO SPOILED

I am totally upset and discombobulated because my remote control for my DVR does not work. It turns out that it will not use the kind of batteries that I normally buy. This is because the remote was badly designed. It was probably the least expensive remote and was chosen by my provider in order to help their bottom line.

I realize I am being rabidly unreasonable because MY TOY IS NOT WORKING.

I tell myself that millions of people are currently homeless and starving due to floods in Pakistan, China and Africa. I tell myself that the people in Haiti have only tents for houses. I tell myself that most of the world's population does not have TVs, let alone DVRs.

It does not help. I WANT MY TOY TO WORK RIGHT NOW.

Sometimes even the best of us turn into 2 year old children.
