I'm not having a good day.

Nothing bad has happened...yet. It's just been rather blah. It wasn't BLAH when I was home. It wasn't BLAH when I was riding into work.

It was BLAH when I got here. And I've been sitting at my desk, not just hating being here but hating myself for being here. And I just can't shake this mood. I feel trapped. And I've been on the frickin' verge of tears all morning for no other reason except the fact that I am NOT happy at all with being here and I can't fix that.

My guitar has been frustrating me. I just can't get it. And I get aggrevated when I don't get it. No matter how long I sit there trying to get my fingers just so...and trying to strum just right...I feel like I'm failing.

My lesson is tonight...I'm not prepared...again. Because I HAVE NO FREAKIN' TIME TO FREAKIN' PRACTICE!

Midterm was yesterday. Feeling rather apathetic on it. Some of it I feel I did okay. Other parts of it I'm just...eh...I studied as much as I possibly could for that thing. So, we'll see if it paid off. I never know what to expect when it's a first exam like that. Unfortunately, it's worth 25% of my grade. Yeah. I hate trial-by-fire exams with teachers.

Wow...this entry is just...ugh. I'll stop now.

Well, today at work was just...BLAH!!

But I went out to Red Lobster with ladystarblade and that was good. We then proceeded to go shopping. Got all our groceries taken care of and kept it under $50. WOOT!!

Came home and I had to call and leave a bitchy message for the office people. I swear to GOD...this office is the worst to deal with. I called this morning because ladystarblade is having toilet issues. So, I wanted to get it fixed. Did it get fixed over the course of the day? NOPE!!! Not at all.

Also, last night, some of the ceiling in the hallway fell down. Not kidding. It's a mess in the hall. And you know what? I reported that too. Was it taken care of? OF COURSE NOT!!

SO. MUCH. HATE.

Ugh! I probably shouldn't have been as sarcastic and bitchy in my message, but it took them over a week to fix the shelf that fell in my closet. It's beyond ridiculous!

Just sayin'.

Alright. They made me do it.

After getting out of the staff meeting from hell this afternoon, I went to check once again on the ongoing saga that is the "fee courtesy" (aka: discount on tuition) for this semester of school. I call the Bursar's office again and they do a few things to see if it will show up on my account. But no luck. So, they tell me to go to Human Resources.

So...I do. I walk just down the hall to Human Resources and inquire about the fee courtesy. Someone there goes to check on it. Asks me if I filled out a form for fall. I said that I had...then just after Thanksgiving, filled out a form for Spring 2008. They go back to look again. They say they can't find the piece of paper and must have lost it.

Okay...mind you...

TUITION IS DUE BY 5:00 PM TODAY OR THERE WILL BE A 1.5% LATE FEE TACKED ONTO IT!

I make this abundantly clear. I cannot pay the $1,445.65 that is on my bill. I need this fee courtesy. That's one reason I can take 3 classes is because I get them at a discounted rate.

What do they do? Have me fill out a new sheet for the fee courtesy. I ask them if it will hit the account by 5:00 pm today because that's when it's due by. They say it won't. So...that's lovely!

I already told the Bursar's office that I REFUSE to pay a late fee should it not hit.

Now for the whole purpose of this rant. For the past week I've been bothering HR about getting that fee courtesy posted. They assured me it would clear on Friday. But now I find out that they lost my paper. WHAT THE HELL!!??

I get it...people lose things all the time. But this is a MAJOR thing. And I'm not quite sure what I should do as far as paying for the spring semester, which starts on Monday.

I'm so frickin' angry right now.

Okay...so follow the storyline here...

Back in September, I was on my way to Flagstaff, AZ. The very same day I was up in the air on my way there, I had congoddess buy tickets to see Peter Cincotti in Indianapolis for me, ladystarblade, indyjane, after_lastnight, and for Lady Buck. Anyway...she succeeds in getting us second row seats. WOOT!

The very next day, my purse goes MIA at the Grand Canyon. I have to cancel all my credit cards, but Ticketmaster charges immediately, so I okayed that purchase and went on my merry way.

A few weeks ago, Peter Cincotti's management announces that he's too big in Europe to deal with us in the United States because...heh...they don't know how to promote and market him here...(okay...that's a completely different rant...kinda) and that they will reschedule. I call the venue and they say that they are waiting on the date to be rescheduled and that our tickets will be good for the new date.

This morning I get an e-mail from Ticketmaster saying that the money (except that service charge...bastards!) will be refunded as the show is now CANCELLED!! Problem...the card it was put on has been cancelled. I contacted Ticketmaster...and they said they can only refund money to the card the purchase was made on.

WTF do I do now?? That's $178.75. For someone with a brand new car payment...that's about half of it there.

SO FREAKIN' MAD RIGHT NOW!!!
