Why must people make things difficult?

( It's only 9:33 a.m., and already my day is ruined. In other words, it's today work-related rant. )

ETA: It's now 11:15, and things are better. However, the following just made my day. From an e-mail I just received from the local independent bookstore:

"Everything fiction is now 20% off for the rest of february at our OP Location. This include A MILLION LITTLE PIECES by James Frey, hahaha."

BWA! That's why I love that bookstore. Anyone have suggestions as to what books I might want to look into buying? Ficton only, though. Comment if you think of anything good that you think I need.
