N's First World Problems

I'm treating this as a game now by trying to see how often my conversations involve first world problems.  It's slightly embarrassing to admit some of the things I've said.  Recently...

• coworkers and I:  "Ugh, sometimes it's SO hard to type/draw on our smartphones."
• me, in my head:  "Happy hour or gym?  Such a conundrum."
• me, to R and Ree:  "I can no longer watch BH 90210 because SoapNet is gone.  I may cry."
• a conversation I've had with quite a few people lately:  "Doesn't it suck when people want to go to bars that only have well liquor and crappy wine?  We can't drink there, so it's annoying."
• R, to me:  "My toenail polish clashes with my Gucci peep-toes!"  Me, in response:  "HATE when that happens!"

R's First World Problems

In case you haven't heard of the phrase "first world problems," this definition will help.  In the past few days, I've realized that everything I complain about is a first world problem.  Here are some examples:

• Me to N:  "I'm so bummed we're only in Hawaii for 4 nights and not 5"
• G$ and Me:  "Can't believe our DirecTV isn't working.  What will we do without cable"
• Me coming back from Portland:  "I can't believe my upgrade didn't go thru"
• Me to G$:  "Argh, the steam room is closed"
• Me to N:  "Poop - it's not a real vacation until your cell phones don't work"

I promise I'm not this much of a douchebag.....well, maybe not 100% of one :)
