Inconvenient Annoyances

My bank statement for last month still has not arrived at my new address.  Of course, I need it for my visa application in December, so that's why it has to be so difficult to actually get it. 

People taking an offhand comment of mine and turning it into something it wasn't. Mountains and molehills, people. Mountains and molehills.

Writing this behemoth technical document is making my brain melt. I'm only 2/3rds done and already the table of contents runs well onto a second page... Waaaah!

I go home every night after working on this and my brain is just fried. I'd rather be physically exhausted than mentally I think. :/

Missing a package delivery - now have to reorganise delivery. 

And now the washing machine just broke, and all my work clothes were inside it and they're covered in gunk.

I totally agree with this.

DS is flying out to NYC to London next Wednesday and will need a train ticket to Leeds.  We thought he could get it at King's X with his Yorkshire Bank card -- but the card expires 10/10 so no good in November. He tried to do it online -- after a lot of scrabbling to find his PIN -- but you have to have online banking or something set up. He can't use his Bank of America card because, even though BofA is linked with Barclay's, the American PINs are too long!  He tried it last time at a Barclay's cash point with no joy. Went in the branch and stood in line for customer assistance, explained to the rep. and was more or less told too bad.  They would have to contact BofA, which would take ages and they would probably charge for it too!
I've given him all the pounds I had. Hope it's enough -- otherwise he'll be sleeping rough in London!

have him ask BofA to change his pin! My pin is four numbers and works fine over here.

Disappointing results from the gym.

That's a thought, thanks!

BostonDiner, I used to have a 6-digit BoA pin and it always worked fine in Europe--you just put in the first 4 digits and voila!  I've since changed it to 4, you can do it at a BoA ATM.

Must be 'washing maching break down' season as ours is dying a slow death.  We have had it for 4 1/2 years and it has been used A LOT.  Still, it would be nice to get a bit more use out of it.

Maybe we have the same cursed one!  My BF has lived in this house for almost 5 years and the washing machine was new then.  Between him and the kiddo it was used a lot, and now with me and a dog here it gets used even more.

It's always been noisy, but recently it's had some new noises every once in a while.  Apparently we should have taken it more seriously because the drum all of a sudden came loose from the rest of it with a massive bang of fury...

Sorry everyone's having dying white goods.

We have a dripping tap from a defunct company with internal working I have never seen before. Called a plumber and awaiting call back.

Can't stop eating. Think I am just too cold. Going to have to work hard in the gym tonight.
