Ugh!

We are painting the house, little by little, and I have just ripped the tape off of the 1/2 of my office that is now painted. First, when people tell you that the "blue" tape won't rip off paint when you take it off, they are fucking liars. My ceiling, near the walls, is now a mottled white, yellow (from the drywall compound under the white paint), and green (from where the roller hit the ceiling in about 3 places, because the blue tape isn't as wide as the brown painter's tape). Second, it's disgusting how jagged the line that I taped is... the green doesn't make an even straight line across the top of the wall, it kind of zig-zags across that straight line like Robert Downey Jr. on the 405 (haha, I got to reuse that joke, and yes, I know it wasn't that funny the first time - suck it, bitches). And third, I am thoroughly depressed at the fact that I have only painted 2 of the 4 walls of the office and still have quite a bit of work to do (actually, it's 3 of the 5 walls that are painted, but one of those walls really doesn't count - it's mostly door.

Painting blows. Why didn't we hire a professional again?
