Warning: Loads of whining ahead

Last chance...



Ok, this has been a really shitty day. It started last night actually. I got home from work and there was an orange piece of paper hanging from my fence. A piece of paper letting me know that my water had been disconnected for non-payment. But I had made an online payment two days before on their "fancy new payment system." Bullshit. I called this morning when they opened and they said that the online payments take 72 hours to process (it didn't say that anywhere online, I looked before I paid.) And that if I wanted my water back on I needed to bring in another payment. I also must add I didn't know my water was close to disconnection, I made a payment 4 weeks ago....

I then learn I am out of checks and can't find another checkbook. But, I had a couple checks from my old account with the ex-dh. So I shamefully used one of those to pay the water bill. Thanks babe. If he reads this before I talk to him...oops. I then leave for work (unshowered but I used parfume, don't worry I don't smell) and my gas tank is almost empty. I just learned that my bank account is empty too. Go figure? I have a check to deposit though, so I'll make it till next payday. I go to the nearest gas station, but turns out they only take debit. WTF? Mine is declined since I haven't made the deposit (don't worry, not overdrawn - just at zero since there are a couple pending charges). They won't take a check since the address is Gresham, a whole HOUR away. Luckily, ex-dh came to the rescue again. I had my old wallet with me which had the debit card for our joint account (he still uses it, I don't). Thanks again babe. Don't worry, this only put you out $40 total :) You're the best.

I get to work, plotting money stuff in my head on how to fix it all (it's fixable, I just overreact easy). I sit down at my work computer and suddenly my profile is gone. Meaning my files, programs, settings, etc. Everything vanished. Isn't this just the king of all fucking days here? It's a good thing I'm smart because I figured out how to fix it. The day is slightly looking up but I'm still pist.

Update: Just talked to the ex-dh so it's all good.

Switching topics. People have relationships on Puzzle Pirates. I don't know if I've made that clear. So, you know, hoping to snag a PP Scottish boyfriend. Maybe he'd adore me so much he'd come to Oregon. Could happen, right? Well, I snagged an admirer. But, he's a bit younger than me and American. Careful what you wish for folks.

I feel better already just complaining. I'd just erase the post since it served it's purpose, but then I may get out of the habit of posting again so you're just going to have to deal with my bitching right now.

P.S. A PP friend told me a joke to cheer me up. What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite. Hahahahahahaha!
