Bourgeois Problems

We're middle class. Sometimes upper middle class, sometimes just plain old middle class. And while we would certainly like to make more money, it's hard to say that we're not generally comfortable, even on those hard months when we have to scrape by just to pay the mortgage. I hope our economic situation doesn't get worse, but in these hard times you never know. So here's a list of problems that people like us should probably be thankful for...i.e., problems of the bourgeiosie.

• Being upset that the gardeners destroyed one of the vines in your treasured passionflower collection.
• Getting really pissed off because the pause function for your on-demand movies is glitchy.
• Feeling guilty that you didn't rescue a drowning mole from the swimming pool because you thought it was a rat.
• Getting ticked because the steamer function on your espresso machine isn't working.
• The overarching fear that your housecleaner will happen upon your sex toys.
• Getting pissed off that the air conditioner in your guest house isn't powerful enough.
• Being upset that HBO East isn't in high definition on Time Warner cable.
• Bemoaning the fact that Netflix's streaming fast forward function sucks.
• Living in the Valley and having to drive to a meeting in Culver City at Sony.
• Forgetting to pay your agent their 10% commission for the last job that they got you.
• Having to pay an extra $20 a day to board your dog at "Double Dog Dare Ya" instead of a regular kennel that doesn't have a doggie playground and webcams.
