Out of the funk!
Went to file my taxes on Thursday. Found out that Earlham had my social wrong, so, couldn't actually file my taxes. Fortunately, it seems to have been an easy fix. I can go get the required form tomorrow and finish doing my filings. Also, I'm hoping I can now file for paperless pay stubs. I hadn't been able to before, but with a fixed social, I should be able to!
Mood was really shitty all week. Between lack of sleep on Monday night and a period that decided to start a week early. Ugh. Friday I popped some Benedryl and slept until about 9:30 Saturday morning. It was glorious and I feel so much better. When everything hits at once, life just sucks.
Paid for the conference, so now all I need to do is book hotels. Getting the conference paid for was fun. I had to do a wire transfer to the bank in Spain. That was...an experience. An expensive experience. The bank manager said that it would cost me $50 to do it (since it's international) and after we tried so hard to get the right dollar amount for it to work into Euros, she finally just looked to see if she could put in the Euro amount. Turns out she could and that's when we learned that the Spanish bank required 25 euros to do the same. ;.; So it cost me about an extra $100 to pay for this stupid thing. Ah, well. It's done. And the manager was so nice and apologetic. She kept doing things and asking things that are required of her and I was cool with it all. "You'd be surprised how many people get angry that I have to ask this." It's stupid that people get angry with others for just doing their jobs. But, whatevs.
I dunno. It feels good to feel better. After a week in the funk, life is so much brighter. Maybe it's because there is sunshine now (which doesn't hurt!) but, you know, metaphorically, life is brighter :D
