Tell me about it, Tiam! sigh...
Well, at least Ty was able to see his adviser and get it down to 19 credits. Three of the classes are trombone lessons, guitar lessons & intro to aural skills. So those should be pretty easy for him. It's just the amount of time involved.
We have been doing online stuff for years with no problem - until lately. I have had to deal with more weird things re: online services in the last six months. Bah!
Today my peeve is:People who sit in their cars with their brake lights on, which indicates to me that they plan to move any moment. I am trying to find a space to pull into at the downtown grocery store. PEOPLE! Either move your ass or turn your car off and sit in it.
And it just pizzes me off that I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME properly use "its" the possessive, I always use the contraction "it's." WHEN did this happen? I once knew and used the correct form daily.
Uggghhhh... I had a doozy of a day. I was way late to work because I wrote down my schedule wrong, and it just got worse from there. I dropped things, I banged my head about six times on hard inanimate objects at work, and I felt way off in dealing with customers. Even though I knew why it was happening (major PMS, which I have never really had before) it was (and is) kicking my butt today and once again, I allowed it to spiral out of control. Thank god tomorrow is another day and I can choose to start all over again. No caffeine, no alcohol, no cigarettes. Must get back on track. This sucks big time. Over and out. Sleep is the great healer of all things amiss....
The girls irritating friend came over last night and now I'm feeling very Get Off My Lawn. I am not even kidding you, the kid ate my dinner. Not the dinner I had prepared for the family, my dinner. As in I had to eat chips and cheese at 11PM because I didn't get to eat. I told her she had to go home for dinner since I hadn't planned on guests and I was working on a big baking project and she came back while we were eating. Zach let her in. I was up and down checking on the cookies for my dads Franciscan thing tonight and while I was in the kitchen she ate my food. Zach felt terrible. He was distracted and didn't realize it.
She also sat at the table pounding on it and demanding cookies. Zach gave her one. Why? I don't know. She complained that they had brown sugar in them. Guess who isn't coming over for a while?
Seems I have a little plumbing problem under the kitchen sink that will require me to put in a new trap or connector, or both. Should be easy, but the trick knee couldn't handle it. So now I have a bad knee and a bad sink. And a bad attitude. Sucks to be me.
My eldest son-he's 7-came home from school with lice. sigh. And my head feels itchy!
I'm rather peeved at the guy who smashed into my parked car last night in my complex, causing a good bit of damage. He had a fight with girlfriend, took off at high speed, skidded on wet pavement going around a corner, and bang, right into my car. Pushed one front tire onto curb, almost sending my car into the one next to it, but not quite. Rear right corner is really messed up. Stopped just short of my gas cap. Guy could have blown it sky high! Bumper is pushed into contact with tire, so it couldn't be driven. I have a Focus and this guy was driving a Jeep SUV. My car is 7.5 years old, paid off, with a bit more than 82K miles on it.
The best part? It happened a bit before midnight. Someone out walking their dog saw it happen, but guy drove off. Straight to the police station. He didn't have a valid insurance card on him (expired a few weeks ago), so at least he got a ticket and a court date for *something.* Cops were banging on my door for five minutes straight last night to tell me, but I was dead to the world. I'm a heavy sleeper. This morning, I was up at 5:40, doing some work, and cop came knocking. I am SO angry. I do NOT need this right now. 19 days before the customs brokers exam. Merger mayhem at work. I could go on...
Good thing I still had full coverage on my car (my insurance is cheap - $80 a month for car and renter's with State Farm). Went with a collision place SF works with, very close to me. They arranged for tow. I have rental car coverage, but I couldn't wait the two hours for Enterprise to bring me a car. I called my choir directors who are very close friends, and asked for the loan of their spare beater car, which I got (wife of couple off today). Dropped off my car key at collision place, then went into work about 10 am and worked 11 hours. Collision shop said, from a photo I took, that it's very possible it will be two weeks before I have my car back. Possible frame damage. My hatchback was hit, too.
I have to cough up my $250 deductible, though. SF will go after numbnut's insurance.
Idiot.
