Just have to have a quick rant. I'm sitting at the computer, lost in my the world of my fan fic, writing away and then suddenly my dad appears. 'I need to check my emails, can you do the necessary.' No 'sorry is this convenient' or 'would you mind please'. I mean he didn't really need to check his emails at 9.15pm, there was nothing that couldn't wait until the morning.
I think he thought I was already on the internet and that it would save him having to log on. Well I wasn't so it didn't. I just said 'of course' and moved out the way leaving him to connect and log-in on his own. I wasn't going to do it for him. Anyway 10 minutes later he yells 'Do you want me to close everything down?'
DUH! I was in the middle of something, or rather Steph and Max were in the middle of something, and I needed to resolve the situation before I finished for the evening. So I shrieked 'NO!' and bolted back upstairs and continued writing.
What really bugged me though was the way he thought he could just come in and take over without so much as a by-your-leave! And that I let him. Heigh ho, c'est la vie.
