Today I have ONE pet peeve.
Only one...
(well, at least that come to mind... today... trust me, there are more).
My one: ingratitude.
Seriously... how hard is it to say THANK YOU??
I've done some creative work for some friends lately, and the only thing I've gotten (after 12+ hours of my time), (and doing and re-doing work on the project) is requests to change my work in one way or another.
Not a "HEY, they look great!".
Not "THANKS so much for all your time and effort"??

Not "THANKS so much for all your time and effort"??
Nothing.
I give a ride to a few kids who's family has come upon hard times lately (father passed away). We had parent teacher conferences last night, and after 3 weeks of delivering kids from Provo to Lehi almost every day after school, and dropping them off on their doorstep, not a word was said about it.
Nothing.
Seriously?
It's really not that difficult people.
I realize I am seeing this through my own "love language" (which is words of affirmation). Not everyone thinks that this is a BASIC HUMAN courtesy. I get that. I could prevent it from happening. I could turn down favors asked of me. I could say no.
But that wouldn't be very nice.
I try to be NICE.
There's gotta be bonus points in earned in heaven for NICE.

So instead, I'll rant, vent and blog... and go do my community servitude service without saying a word.
