Those little things

I’m ending this weird year with a weird couple of days. I’ve had almost every service I use screw up in some way. Last week my cable went out, and it’s been acting strangely ever since. Certain stations will just go dark for a hour or two at a time. Of course the cable company thinks I’m… I dunno, making it up because I don’t have better things to do than call them? Annoying.

Also, I found out that I’ve been paying $25 too much rent for the last year. So, I called the office to get my balance so I can even it out with January’s rent. Yeah, you can imagine how well that went. First I got transferred to six damn people, each one with a different story. That is still unresolved, so I’m going over there soon. I’m willing to deal because it’s kind of like getting $275 for free. Nice.

And in the final irritation, after being a good girlfriend and finding Dan some bomb diggedy (heh) cheap auto insurance, his car got smashed into right in the driveway of my building – while we were standing 10 feet away. The culprit? Was the UPS guy delivering something for me. Sweet merciful Zeus, do you have any idea how much paperwork was involved? A mountain. Which made me miss an important call, which made me have a very angry client, which sucks because I don’t really like them, but now have to kiss their asses for a long, long time.

Okay, and of whining. I’m excited to hang out with my nearest and dearest to welocme 2009. My last post of 2008 is full of bitching, my first of 2009 will not be.
