cornerofmadnessI'll get through a whole semester without opening my mouth and saying something I shouldn't and then spiral down thinking WHY did you do that? Why can't you learn.
But that is not this semester.
Also a bunch of our students walked out because the hospitals insist they be vaccinated. Sigh.
And the thing I can't really talk about at work has gotten worse.
And I spent the entire morning on the phone being annoyed by customer service. Let's see Capitol One agreed with me that hmmm yes your showing charges are less than what you're being charged by 200$ (go me doing math right) but those are 'probably pending charges.' Leave it til friday but I noticed this last week and nothing changed and I had to add 2000 more dollars to the card today so I said fuck it and paid it.
The ambulance company did knock off 400$ off my 2 grand bill. She claims no one was looking into it because 1800$ is their baseline charge. (NOT what I was told last time) and got snotty with me when I pointed out the other company only charged 700$ for the same service. Well if they're public they get breaks. No ma'am they're private AND I'm telling the hospital and the home about the over 1000$ difference and suggest they don't do business with you all.
Then I had to talk to FedEx about my Holy Clothing shirt which was coming from India (where I ironically get an Indian call center) Your item is stuck in customs in New Delhi. Um NO it's not. I can see right here it's in Memphis TN and it arrived there at 832 AM on Oct 3rd. Oh yes I see that now. Well it's probably lost, have Holy Clothing send in a lost item paperwork. Yeah because this will go well. Screw you too FedEx
Okay I'm going in to write, wish me luck, wish the characters monsters.
Snippet When Glory of Love came on and slowed things up, Grace went to find something to drink. Dan had been eyeing a little blonde girl but surprised Alessia by turning to her. Flirtations aside, it was usually business between the team members.
He held out a hand to her and she took it. Dan danced her away from the edge of the mass of bodies and further from the bar almost as if he didn’t want her to see someone. She peeked around him and saw why. Tony Atkins, president of Chi and of the mind every girl who came into the house should eventually be in his bed. Alessia liked sex as much as the next girl but he was a pig and she had no interest in him.
Tony bee lined for her and Dan. “Can I cut in?”
“No,” she replied, pressing closer to Dan. His shirt was sticking to him where he was sweating. “Not interested, just like the last seven times you asked me.”
“You’re supposed to be fire but you’re all talk. And you, you know this party is for brothers only and the ladies.”
“He’s here with me and Grace,” Alessia replied.
“No problem. I’ll go.” Dan held up his hands.
“Dan…” She let it trail off. Maybe it was for the best. If Tony wanted to be a dick, they were better off gone.
“Not you, Allie, you stay.” Tony ran a hand down her arm.
Alessia jerked away. “It’s Alessia and no, I’m with Dan. If he goes, I go.”
“You are too pretty for him. You need to sample a little real man, not whatever he is.” Tony flicked Dan’s long hair.
Dan stepped back, balling his fist. Alessia mirrored him, swallowing the urge to kick Tony’s balls into orbit.
12623 / 50000 words. 25% done!

Hope things get better in one place or another. ::sends good thoughts::
