Inconvenient Annoyances

Unfortunately I am a West End girl

Booooo!

I locked myself and my kids out of the house and car this morning. The good news is I was easily able to break into my house with a credit card. The bad news is I was easily able to break into my house with a credit card.

What rubbish weather we've had today! 

On the other hand, we've had a little bit of everything...rain, cold, wind, clouds, clearing, more cold, wind, rain mixed with a few snowflakes, then the sun came out brilliantly for awhile - I thought maybe we'd have a BBQ when I got home. 

I always have a apple when I leave the gym but my apple today was rotten I had 3 bites an had to throw it away I wasn't a happy bunny while waiting in the car for Dh to get back to the car after work.

I didn't see the snowflakes!  I was out and about in it and didn't mind too much as I was going to see a massage therapist!  Dylan was scared of the sound of the wind which always sounds worse from the inside than it actually is outside.  It was pretty windy today so it was very dramatic sounding from where Dyllie was sitting.

Check your household insurance. You may find that such a light level of locking invalidates burglary cover.

I didn't see the snowflakes! 

It was very short-lived & they may not have even hit the ground.  It was during that really gusty spell sometime today when it was raining too, and we were looking out our 9th floor windows (as we swayed in the breeze) at work & there were just a few teeny tiny snowflakes mixed in with the rain.  And not for very long, then just rain.

There's a dead bolt. We're just lazy and tend not to use it. That said, we're in an area with a very high police presence - we live right next to the court house. So crime on this street is almost non-existant.

I have a pretty important job interview tomorrow and have had no time to prepare for it.  Ugggggggh.

My husband blasting the new Michael Jackson song on his netbook & it's crappy speaker...MJ is awful but the netbook speakers just make it that much more grating.

Got accosted twice today

...once by a guy who seemed almost drunk (at 9am) who was asking me if I "wanted a service" (I happened to be walking past a church and reading the signs as I walked)...bit squicky

...this evening a woman asked me to inspect her eyebrows to make sure she'd plucked them well enough (?)...not annoying, just totally random

breastfeeding is hard and painful

Three weeks ago I complained to my super that there was a leak in my bathroom (in the ceiling).  I called every few days to remind him - he never showed.

Work was a total madhouse today.  Our stock plummeted for really dumb reasons and as I work in IR we had to prepare for a call and field literally hundreds of questions and some not so friendly investors. 

I finally  walk in the door at 10pm.  Super chose today to fix the ceiling, the bathroom was a huge mess.  Fun fun fun.

Had a premium appointment for a new visa in Croydon last week.  Of course, they say that the visa should turn up in 5 business days.  Today is day 5.  And through my mail slot comes a letter from the courier company saying "we have tried to deliver your package."  Uh, no.  You haven't.  I've been here.  So now I have a "scheduled" delivery between 9-5 on Wednesday.  9-5?  Really?  I'd even pay (well, it would depend on the amount) for a smaller window.  But nooooooo...

Annoying AND inconvenient.

Yuck. At least the delay is with the courier, and not immigration, though.
