Believe in the Resolute Urgency of Now
Ugh. Today is a day that has made Mia doubleplus crabby. First I had to run Dale's 24-hour urine collection bottle to Quest Diagnostics by the hospital...only I forgot where the hospital was and had no way of looking that up in my car. So I drove to the library to map it really quick--library doesn't open till 1 p.m., woops. So I drove all the way back home, mapped it there, then drove back to the hospital (which is only like 20 seconds from Dale's house, yuk yuk) and found the lab building from there. Walked in, plunked the bottle of pee on the counter, finally cheerful because I could run to "work" and eat lunch really quick before I had to start working. The receptionist looked up and boredly told me I couldn't turn in the sample without the paperwork. The paperwork of which there had been made no mention when I was directed to take the sample to the lab. I sighed, heaved the increasingly heavy pee-bottle back to the car, vroomed it back to Dale's, and found (luckily) the appropriate paperwork on his dresser. When I got back to the lab the lady had the gall to ask me if I had Dale's insurance card, but dealt with things somehow when I just stared at her and probably looked like I was going to have a meltdown if she didn't throw me a bone.
Made it to "work" ten minutes late, and everything was cheerio from there on until I got home and found a bill for Nina's canceled Comcast account waiting for me. Um, wut. I called them up to ask why the hell we are still being billed when the lady I talked to about the account being canceled assured me there would be no more charges, but the phone queue was long enough that they asked me to punch in my number and they would call me back. That was almost an hour and a half ago, so I don't think I will be hearing from them.
At least I got paid today, anyway. Too bad I no longer have the energy to run to the store and pick up milk. And my hair dye has been stuck in Hodgkins, IL since Saturday for some unknown reason. But Zoe's back and I'm making lots of money this week cuz I have to work both shifts with Dale three days in a row because Ari's on vacation and Carol has a doctor's appointment. Wheeeeee I'm going to die.
