Waiting for my diner booth for my kitchen to be delivered.This is the most screwed up delivery company ever...we told them we werent going to home Sat-Mon...so of course, they try to deliver Sun. Ugh. Then we made the appt for today between 8am and noon. So they call around 11am to schedule a delivery date...WTF??? They had no record that we already HAD one for ...umm..RIGHT THEN.
Good thing I wasnt planning on going to work today because I'm going to be here all damn day waiting for this.
edit: OMFG..this is THE most screwed up delivery company inthe WORLD. They just showed up..the guy had no hand truck or any way to get this off the truck. WTF?? Apparently the plan was to drive it PAST my house...which is lovely of them, but I'd really prefer it IN my house. And it wasnt even the right thing as the box said 4 horsepower tiller on it.
I'm never getting my booth.....

Minette, I'm taking the GRE at the end of this month. That gives me one more chance to do it again in September if I have to (but hopefully I won't have to). I'm still studying algebra, ugh. But I've gone over the word lists for the vocabulary and practiced the writing, and I'm confident about that. I'm averaging around 790 on the practice tests for the verbal, so I just need to improve the math.

I'm such a bitch. If I wanted to talk to men on here, I'd just go to work.

My Fiance jerked off in bed this morning and shot himself in the face and neck by accident. I almost peed myself laughing so hard. This is the second time this has happened (the first was in his eye) and for some reason it brings me unspeakable joy everytime!

I have to write a 20-page research paper to go with my grad school applications, because I don't like any of my old ones. I need to think of a topic. Gah. I love writing papers, but it sure is difficult thinking of a topic when there is no class or instructor to narrow down the options.

I got an F and a D one semester so it fucked up my GPA. I'm going to reappeal the F though.
Once again, I got nothing accomplished today because I felt like crap. I can't get a hold of my school, either, to find out what went wrong with my paperwork that was "missing." I also can't get a hold of my VA Rep. >:(
Oh well....time to get some laundry done for work tomorrow, do my nails, and break out the road atlas to start preparing for my trip.

OK. I found this on a site promoting features appearing at the 15th Anniversary of the Annual Gentleman's Club Owners Expo. I'm sorry but this reminds me of Wilma Flintstone carrying 2 pterodactyl eggs to the stove to cook for Fred's breakfast. Maybe Dr. Wulf's handiwork?

GOD DAMN IT!!! This fucking delivery company is PISSING ME OFF. Now they are tacking on another $100 (that they "forgot" to put on the bill) PLUS trying to double bill me for something they have already charged the shipper for. And I still dont have my FUCKING BOOTH. AND they are supposedly not alllowed to bring it any further then the curb..which..how the fuck I'm supposed to get a 400 pound diner booth into the house is beyond me.
AND the dinosaur in front of me at the produce market wrote a CHECK...who writes checks anymore??? Her bill was $30.91. KNow how I know that? Because she asked TWENTY SEVEN TIMES. "it's 20 dollars?" "no maam..its $30.91" "$30 dollars?" "yes...$30.91" "Nine cents?" I swear I was thisclose to ripping the check out of her hand and writing it out myself. Then she blocked the exit door while going over her reciept with a fine toothe comb...and couldnt hear me say "EXCUSE ME"..I had to physically move her cart.
THEN....the supermarket credit card swiper breaks at the ONLY open register. SO it took 20 minutes to fix THAT before the woman in front of me could pay for her groceries. My ice cream melted.
I am NOT having a good day. GOD help the next person who PISSES ME OFF. My guns are loaded.....

Estes in Miami. Of course they are blaming somone else for all the screw ups. This delivery has been screwed up 5 times now. And I still dont have it...supposed to be here any minute but I'll believe it when I see it.I think they only operate in this area(companies send products to them...then they distribute where they are supposed to go)so unless you move to south FL ..you shouldnt have to deal with them.
Hubby already talked to a lawyer friend...he said that putting a stop payment on a check can be a criminal offense in the state of FL. I'm condsidering it anyway. Or just giving the driver a check for the lower amount the bill I have now is for and telling him to tell his bosses to go fuck themselves for the rest.

OK ..well..I have it. Finally. I had to give a check for the whole amount because the guy told me that they told him to check it ..and he'd prob be docked the differance if it was wrong. It wasnt HIS fault..and at least he was nice enough to break the box down and pull all the pieces into the house for me, even though they basically told me he wasnt allowed to do that. Having boobs is nice...
I'll fight it out with them now. I may put a stop payment on it...or transfer all the money into another account so the funds arent available.I dont know. The shipper said he would take care of the double billing crap and make sure that was refunded back to us.
But at least I have my diner booth so my retro 50's diner kitchen is almost complete!

I'm tired and sore and I don't really feel like going to work tonight. I want to eat some pizza and go see a movie. My knees hurt and they could use a rest.
But I still have another $4000 to make my goal for the month, so off I go to slather on some arnica and plow through another three days... will go to a movie on Saturday, maybe, if I don't go hiking. I haven't seen Ratatouille yet and I hear it's great.

Yeah, you having a fridge is WAY better news than me cleaning mine out. :P

Minette, I'm taking the GRE at the end of this month. That gives me one more chance to do it again in September if I have to (but hopefully I won't have to). I'm still studying algebra, ugh. But I've gone over the word lists for the vocabulary and practiced the writing, and I'm confident about that. I'm averaging around 790 on the practice tests for the verbal, so I just need to improve the math.
I'm applying to USC, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and UT-Austin. I'm looking for backup schools but not very many schools have PhD programs in Cinema Studies. UCLA is my first pick, but UCSB would be damn nice too - I'd get out of L.A. and go to school on the beach!
Congrats on your practice scores! Also, congrats on getting it all out of the way so early - I'm not going to be taking it for a couple months. Do you have to take a subject test? I'm gonna have to take the psych subject test - I can't even begin to tell you how unexcited I am about it. Tomorrow, I pick up a GRE study booklet for the general, I got some huge psych study booklets today.
Funny - I'm looking at UCLA as well, although I'm kinda scared of L.A., watching the L Word has convinced me that the lesbian population there would make me want to rip out my hair within three months, well, maybe four. There's around ten schools or so that I'm going to apply to - one in Iowa. :O Sadly, Clinical Psych PhD programs are so damn competitive that I'm just going to have to apply to all that I'm interested in and take what comes up. I cross my fingers for your studying - I'll be joining you in the process soon.
