10. Loading the dishwasher with spouse reloading the dishwasher in front of me. Nothing says 'incompetent' more clearly.
9. Washing clothes. This is a colossal waste of time. I haven't figured out how to get around this chore yet besides buying dozens of socks and underwear.
8. Cooking. I have gotten around this pretty good by just refusing to do it.
7. Watching Miami Dade County Commission meetings on TV. This is like chalk on a blackboard especially if Pepe le pew Diaz is talking or Barbara Jordan. Their phony earnestness for the cameras makes me sick. Especially Pepe who tends to read verbatim Lobbyists' scripts.
6. Going to Miami Dade County Commission meetings. Seeing all the lobbyists at the meetings (you don't see this on TV) makes me very sad...for all of us. Nothing says you can't win as much as a lot of money spent on lobbyists.
5. Making small talk. This is an art form. I am at the point now where I can't remember what I ask, so I think I am repeating the same subjects every time I see the same person. I fear I am in a small talk loop.
4. Trying to make long dramatic points in phone texts when, if the other person would pick up the friggin' phone (Vanessa Brito), life would be so much easier and there wouldn't be a written trail.
3. Follow up. I am so scattered on reporting, I can't keep up with my public records requests, and some of your leads. One culprit is contending with so many junk emails.
2. Nasty people, who think they are clever, making comments on the blog.
1. Rampant Absentee Ballot Fraud by Absentee Ballot Brokers.
We also have an EOM heading called 'Demagogue of the Year':
On the local front, County Commissioners Joe Martinez and Lynda Bell share this title as my pick. Both are sneaky with ulterior motives.
On the State front: Erik Fresen.
On the National front: Congressman David Rivera.
