Frustrating
This is a rant ..... just trying to see if it helps relieve any stress ......
* Shop assistant at Robinsons May did not remove the security device from the sweater I bought this weekend even though she did de-activate it. This renders the sweater useless to me till I go back. I want to use it over the Thanksgiving break so this means I have to drive to the mall in rush hour either this evening or tomorrow. The freeway entrance near my house is *crazy* due to construction and merging is a nightmare. So I usually avoid using it after dark but now I have no choice.
* Network at work has been so slow today that I have been forced to go take coffee breaks just to calm my nerves.
* SD has no concept of public transport. I can't take a bus to the airport. I wouldnt mind changing 2 or even 3 busses but now there is no bus out of this area. Shuttle companies make full use of this fact. The price for a ride to the airport is only a few dollars less than my flight ticket to the bay area !!! Ridiculous. This effectively doubles the cost of my trip. All the people I am comfortable asking for a ride are either out of town or busy. I can drive to the airport and put my car in the long term parking lot, but if the lots are full on Thursday morning then I am stranded. I am still debating whether I should risk it.
* My neighbors are behaving like asses. Cigarette butts all over my porch. Yuck.
* My bathtub drain is clogging and the apartment service people have not returned my call.
* Dropped my badge at Building#2 and had to drive back to go get it. Things could have been worse though ..... Thankfully it was still there and I didnt have to deal with security over a lost badge.
Freaking fabulous start to the week.
Aargh.
I know what V would say ...... time to be thankful that I have a sweater, a car, a job, an apartment.
Things could have been worse .... even recognising this fact isnt helping my stress level.
Will try a herbal tea break now ...
