I failed at adulting today

cornerofmadnessFigured out why my credit card wasn't working...I missed a payment on TWO of them and the electrical bill. I even use a table to keep track of these things. It makes me wonder about my memory these days.
On the other hand my majors had a good memory day, all of them nailing perfect scores on the big bone test. THe allied health ones I've yet to grade but I had one nearly in tears asking how this would affect her grade (I hadn't seen her in so long I wasn't sure she was still in class). And that it wasn't really her fault because she 'studied the wrong thing.' I rather calmly, coldly lost it and pointed out that was impossible as I gave everyone a complete list of everything on week 3 (and this is now week 10) and we've studied as a group everything on the test for the last 4 weeks in the second hour of lab. (the you just didn't study was implied).
I'm disappointed. I finally remembered my aphrocheesiac cheese I bought at the Farm Fest but man they screwed this batch up. It's WAY too salty and that's me saying it. I eat actual salt with a spoon if that gives you any idea.
For the first time ever I might not get my Spook Me done. Well I should get Jana's done but I'm not getting my FMA fan fic done, at least not in the way I wanted it to be. I've failed twice to do a flash fic for a blog hop. Opps.
But I DID get both short stories edited and sent back to the publisher. I also learned a few things like many of us are getting those rejection/revise notices (many of which are perplexing in the editorial comments) and then one brings up the publisher is getting slammed over bierasure in a new release which is news to the rest of us but then goes 'well I don't want to mention the book' then why bring it the hell up and get everyone worried.
I have noticed that with MOST m/m publishers AND readers. I have a lot of bi/pan friends who feel they're being erased though I think a lot of the publishing trauma has to do with the gay for you trope which is one I don't care for myself but I'm too tired to think about it coherently.

(I had to fight with Temple because they did want me to remove mentions of him being with women too but that could be because they know the readers will get pissed because too many of them are there for the 'pretty' of gay men and don't actually give a damn about the whole LGBT spectrum.
