Inconvenient Annoyances

Headache.

I absolutely loathe Michigan weather, we're supposed to get a LOT of snow Wednesday and that's the day Daniel arrives. I pray that it comes after he lands at 12:30 p.m.

While snow is never good for flight plans, just be happy it's forecast for Michigan and not the UK. Michigan can at least handle weather. Fingers crossed he makes it in okay and on time!

you're right, we are used to it ! thank you !

It froze so hard last night it looks like it snowed outside...personally I'd rather it snowed.  It would be warmer -6C is just a bit chilly.

It's not even 10am and already I'm having a bad day:

1. I looked everywhere and couldn't find the top I wanted to wear today (everywhere!)

2. I broke the curtain rod whilst leaning over the pile of crap on the floor my husband left there in order to open up the curtain so that cat could look out

3. I am a good pedestrian. I do not blindly run into the street, then look offended when cars are coming like a lot of people I see. I wait for the green man. And this morning at Aldgate, I was crossing at the green man when a *$%%^&& arrogant black cab had the gall to a) drive way through his red light, a full 20s after it had gone red, b) try to drive through me while I was crossing, then c) stop to shout obscenities at me after I motioned towards the green man sign. arrrrrgh wtftwtfwtf? It was only ten minutes later I started kicking myself for not writing down his cab #.

4. There was a massive police tape cordon at the Truman Brewery blocking all of Brick Lane to cars and pedestrians, so I had to take an enormous 15min detour to get to the office this morning, which made me late.

Do I have permission to go back to bed and start over please??

2. I broke the curtain rod whilst leaning over the pile of crap on the floor my husband left there in order to open up the curtain so that cat could look out.

Hey at least the cat can look out - that's the important thing! 

My primary IA (among others) is that I am without my debit card!  My bank's fraud protection department rang me on Saturday to advise they've had a report from somewhere (the fraud dept staff aren't able to specify from where - it could be from a merchant, from the police, from a reported device that was attached to a cash point, etc) that my card details may have been compromised & they recommended stopping and replacing my card with a new one.  So I guess it's good that they are looking out for me, but my debit card! 

We have a very close relationship & I feel naked without it!  Oh well - it was due for replacement anyway as it was soon expiring & I hadn't worn it out the way I had the last time (such that you could no longer read the numbers) so I must be getting more frugal...

DH got a bit of cash out for me & left me with one of his cards for making some holiday arrangements today, but he didn't give me his PIN number!   

They said my new one should be here come Tuesday/Wednesday, but with Royal Mail these days I'm not too sure.

He can be very persuasive! Big eyes and all that!



Could you say no to this face??

Can you call them and see if you can pick it up from a local branch instead?

No, I think he would win every time!

I somehow doubt they would go for that.  I'm going to wait & see if it turns up first, and then decide if I need to do something else.  Hopefully, it will be fine as promised.

I  had someone beep at me because I wasn't crossing the street fast enough the other day!

Oh my god!  So cute!  He reminds me of Dylan. 

I've got a wicked headache and I need to stay awake and go sing here in a few minutes.

DH is going to an My Chemical Romance concert on the 19th in Notts. He was scheduled to work the next day (the Sunday), so he switched with the other manager & he's now working the Sunday before the concert...which happens to be our 3rd Anniversary. Great 

So after ripping down all of my glazing plastic in preparation for this sudden window painting project arranged by my landlord---said landlord just rang to tell me the painter probably won't be coming this week at all (He was supposed to start yesterday and didn't show and now she can't get ahold of him.)   

Coworker's not in. Wasn't in yesterday, likely won't be in tomorrow or the next day. He's got a bad back, so I don't blame him, but we're also interviewing someone today (that I can't really interview since I worked with her in the past).

More [expletive] snow this week. They're predicting the "big" one. Bad enough, but I had arranged a "sick" day on Thursday for my dentist appointment and also set up an appointment for Maxwell's booster and asked DS to rearrange his schedule so I could have the car in the morning. Looks like we'll be shoveling out instead ... 
And we're running low on Maxwell's special diet food (not sold in supermarkets)

We have no FREAKING HEAT AN ITS ABSOLUTLY FREZZING IN HERE!!   we have the heating guy here an that's another £65 we didn't need to be spending grrr!!
