griping
woke up, went to kassy's, waited for my cat to pee so i could take the sample to the vet. one hour later, no pee, so took the whole damn cat to the vet. vet said her bladder was full, so poked it with a needle (ow!) to get some you-ryne. took cat home. on the way, vet calls to say there is no infection, but there is blood in her pee. could be from the needle poke, could be she has some wack chronic disease that is untreatable, except to give her drugs to manage her pain. for now, vet says, we treat her as normal and see if she displays more pee-pee probs, which would indicate she has afformentioned wack disease. poor kitty.
i then stopped at t-bell for lunch, then went to the NIB (a building on the med campus) to pick up this CD i need for an article for the mag. there is NO parking, so i leave my car out front with hazzard lights flashing whilst i run in to retrieve the disc. i return not 5 minutes later to find a ticket on my car, and no culprit in sight. is the ticket-leaver a super friend (or super foe, rather) or something? how could he/she have appeared, left a ticket, and disappeared in a matter of 5 minutes? so, being that i'm already half-a-day late for work, i go to the cop shop, cuz i remember something about tix being much cheaper if you pay them ASAP. i park at city hall and go in, only to read a sign that says you can no longer pay tix there. that office has moved across the street and down a block, in the city center bldg. so i rush over there on foot (i had only put 15 mins. worth of change in my meter) and wait my turn at the cashier counter. turns out i have to pay the full $25 cuz that pay-ASAP-for-less deals does not apply to my ticket. "fine," i tell the lady, and whip out my discover card (the only credit card that i am allowing myself to use). guess what? that's right, they don't take discover. so i tell her i am broke and will have to come back and pay on friday, then, after i get paid. so then she has to cancel out the transaction and give me back my ticket, and i rush back to my car, where the meter-maid dude, i kid you NOT!, is checking out my meter. i think i was still under the limit, or just on, so i smiled at him and got in my car and drove off. and now it is 1:00 and i am finally settling into work and i am one grumpy bitch!
ahh, that feels better.
