I haven’t written much in 2017 for fun. In fact, I don’t think I’ve written at all. But I have complained, a lot. A lot has happened this year, a lot has changed, but the one thing that has stayed the same is the fact that I always have something to rant about. So, without further ado, here is my ninth annual Festivus blog.

 

-Going to the Barclays Center.

-JetBlue’s new tier system.

-Our president.

-Office politics.

-Traffic, traffic and more traffic.

-Getting up early for work (but I do like leaving early).

-Everyone’s sense of entitlement.

-The price of wedding dresses!!

-The fact that wedding dresses run small to force average size women to get a plus-size dress for a higher price.

-New company policies.

-Poor customer service – does anyone want to work anymore?

-The fact that basically no one wants to work anymore.

-Change.

-The ridiculous price for anything when you say it’s for a wedding.

-The sense of entitlement that people have.

-Slomins.

-Cellphone makers.

-High ticket prices.

-The Islanders (when they play poorly and piss Dave off).

-The word ‘millennial.’

-When Target is like Walmart.

-When people get in my dance space at Zumba.

-People who take my ‘spot’ at Zumba.

 

As always, I know there’s plenty more things that bother me. But this will do for now. Anything on this list annoy you too? Why don’t you get out your pole and air your grievances?

2016 was a pretty decent year. Bought a house! Find out what else happened in 2016.

Eight years going strong with my airing of the grievances. Will I ever stop complaining? Nope! Get out your pole and enjoy these rants from 2016.
