Planning committee meetings.
I quite like planning overall. But sometimes it just goes on too fecking long. Session 1 started at 14:30 and went on til 17:10. Then broke for tea in the canteen. Session 2 started at 17:50 and went on til 21:30. Wrangling over bloody wind turbines and change of usage on extant planning permissions. And because it's election time, every bloody ward councillor wants to come and speak for or against applications, and every damned application seems to bring a crowd of public observers and petitions.

Two hours is my limit in meetings. Then I start to get really grumpy and I wonder why everyone doesn't just shut the hell up!

Dealing with a meta-client (client of a client, that is) who has no idea about any sense of personal respect and decency.

When I was doing contracting work we had a client who would sleep late and walk around half dressed for a few hours while we tried to work. It was distressing to some of the more delicate constitutions. There is a huge difference between a 25 year old buff nugget doing that and a mid 60s person with an extra 80-90 pounds.

Frickin' frackin' frackin' frickin' muscle spasm in my shoulder...AGAIN. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
This means 3 days of pain, even when the spasm subsides. I get this about every couple months. It pisses me right the hell off.
