What a Day...
Argh. I'm so ready for the weekend. Today has been one thing after another. I think the only good thing that has happened today is the fact that I got to watch an old episode of "Charmed" this morning. Sad, huh? And the car got fixed, but that was a huge headache.
So I talked to my dad, and he said the problem with the car was most likely the battery, since they had the same thing happen last summer. He told me to call the dealership this morning and have them tow the car out there to replace it. So I called them around 9 (after sending an email to my team stating that I wouldn't be around this morning), but they couldn't come out until around 10. So I got to wait. I watched "Charmed" :) then the tow truck showed up after getting lost first. Trying to give directions is rather hard when you don't know the area. Anyway, he finally showed up, and he gave me a ride to the dealership, where I sat for two-and-a-half hours waiting for them to replace my battery. And to top it off, I had to pay the towing costs. This is getting to be a very expensive month. (Yes, I plan to take that up with the insurance company later, since the car is under warranty and the tow should be covered.)
I finally got to work at 2pm. Talk about a wasted day. And I walked straight into hassle about the camping trip, since it's not logistically working out. The current plan is to put four people in Leigh's Corolla along with three tents, two coolers, and all of our camping gear. Yeah. I'm a little concerned. This is like trying to work out riding arrangements for crew regattas. What a pain. I really wish I could just not go now, 'cause my patience with this whole thing is about at an end. Really, right now I'm feeling so overwhelmed it's not even funny. Even though my horoscope says: "Feeling overwhelmed? Don't. You've got the energy and ideas to tackle anything." Not quite. This week just has not been great. Right now there is nothing more I want to do than go home and sleep. Dealing with people is just not what I want to do right now. Dealing with just about any situation right now is also crossed off my list.
Later.
