Healthy Resentment Is...

1) When you finally get paid your rent money two weeks late, and it's in the form of Canadian quarters and already-played McDonald's Monopoly game pieces (actual cash value: one sixteenth of a cent).

2) When the Bigfoot Lounge fails to have an artist's rendition of Bigfoot, the Yeti, The Abominable Snowman, The Chupacabra, or even a standard black bear.

3) When upon completion of The Articulate Executive, you suddenly realize that your executive is not articulate.

4) When the $800 in parking tickets you've paid over the last two years finally come to fruition as the seemingly bottomless pothole outside your house finally gets paved over.

5) When the elation of a fixed road surface immediately dies as you realize that the department of transportation paved over your cat.

6) When after your 19th viewing of Syriana, you still don't totally get it.

7) When your boyfriend tells you that he likes you because you look like Ashlee Simpson, but specifies post-nose job.

8) When you make a run for the border, and the Border does not heed to your "no sour cream" warnings.

9) When earlier discussion of the Abominable Snowman leads to the epiphany that Barak Obama should really be referred to as the Obominable Candidate, and then your subsequent trademark requests get denied.

10) When insatiable desire to purchase $100 tickets to the Police reunion tour forces a carfully budgeted trip to Las Vegas to win ticket money, only to yield $20 less than intended due to poor budgeting and an unscheduled Del Taco stop, and then subsequent return trip leads to losses in excess of $6000.
