Fed up? Feel free to vent here, and get it off your chest!

Apple and their latest system upgrade. Every time they do an upgrade there’re also changes for sake of change. Drives me crazy. By the time I learn all the little nuances, it’ll be time for an upgrade.

I never know what they will do next. It takes a while to figure out what has changed...some good, some not so good. But all over in spite of my exhausting episodes, from time to time, I would not have it any other way.

Ugh; I had to call my financial adviser and request a chunk of money to help pay my quarterly taxes and of course got a patronizing mini-lecture on how I should be adding to my extremely small account, not subtracting from it. Like I don't already know that and don't have painful knots in my stomach.

He doesn't seem to grasp the fact that I wouldn't be doing this unless it were a true last resort. It's not like I'm flying off to a tropical island, or doing anything fun at all, for Pete's sake. Medical bills and taxes seem to be consuming everything lately.

I loathe having to withdraw money, and I hate having to deal with this guy. Fortunately, I don't have to do it often.

After careful vetting, I started an Acorns account, which, unlike my current setup, permits small investments and round-up contributions. It's not much, but it's something.

OK, I guess I'd better get back to work and start earning money! And I need to drum up more work.

Dear Postmaster DeJoie, really? You're going to raise postal rates again? You wasted multiple millions of dollars of taxpayer money destroying expensive sorting machines, more money building new facilities that serve only to delay the USPS further, and now you want us to pay more? Really?

I mentioned the inefficiency of the post office to the a postal person in our small town. Her response was that the USPS was not a part of the US Government. So why do taxpayers keep bailing them out.
