cornerofmadnessSo let's break this down from the last terrible thing of this day to the beginning.
1. I leave the winery where L and I were there having a nice enough time (but all L wanted to talk about was work and/her vacation and ignore everything I had to say. Yeah I AM Leonard to her Sheldon) and my transmission is dying. I turned on the car and the check engine light came on and the D on the tranny is flickering. I'm about 100% sure that's the tranny. I don't even know if I can get it to the shop (which of course are closed by the time this happens). Because I can tell something is wrong. I might have to arrange for it to be towed FORTY fucking miles.
I'm so upset. This is going to cost me thousands. So much for vacation. If this had happened last week I wouldn't have bought 150$ in books and canceled the Raleigh trip. The only saving grace is that it didn't happen ON the trip.
2. I can't get the new phone to work. Tracfone was unhelpful. Finally I go back to Wal-Mart and turns out I was the problem. Okay they give us ALL this info on the phone but not one speck of it is hey this tiny piece of cardboard over here is your fucking SIM card. I had no idea....But even then it's not showing any of my info has been transfered over (though I did make a call successfully) but this took hours of my damn day and I'll probably have to call again tomorrow.
3. I can't get the hotels to honor the online price but whatever. I could have used the online thing but I'm glad I didn't because that is non-refundable. I did finally get a room for more than I wanted to pay but okay fine. (I mean I could stay for free with the other ladies but to me it's worth 350$ to have a room of my own and not having to sleep on the floor on an air mattress)
4. While coloring my hair, I dropped the bottle. It hit the floor and squirted all over my bedroom door and all over the carpet (in spite of the fact I was doing this in the tiled bathroom). Want to bet whether or not that purple came out?
So...I might have to cancel Raleigh and keep the books for another con (like the FL one in July because nothing says fun like FL in July.) Or I might have to use a rental because nothing says fun like extra added expense.
I truly do hate my life some days.
ETA - Now I can't find the damn bill for the cellphone. I had it today but now it's missing. I NEED that.

It's sad they wouldn't honor the online price, but I get what you mean on just wanting to get a room by yourself, or at least a bed.
I'm guessing you have a lovely stain?
Aww, I'm sorry. *soft hugs*

Date: 2016-05-23 02:50 am (UTC)Yeah, I hate calling those call centers/help lines.

Date: 2016-05-23 03:47 am (UTC)yeah they absolutely suck. I swear I'd switch to any company offering me a call center in my own country
