The chip in one of my cards was scratched and starting to mess up when I get groceries, etc. so I ordered a replacement card. I went along my merry way until everything I had on auto-pay (to get points, etc.) starting coming back as unpaid. It turns out that the expiration date has changed on my new card and now I need to remember what accounts I pay with that card, login to those accounts, and change the expiration date.
Very annoying. I thought I was done after I changed my cell phone bill and my utility bills, but then my internet service bill reared its ugly head today and I don’t remember the password to that account.
I’m not ready for human interaction… I WILL TRY UNTIL I GET LOCKED OUT BEFORE I WILL CALL AND TALK TO ANY HUMAN.

We have a daily standup meeting at 9 am. Every morning I am in a mad rush to get there on time. I have tried leaving early = train sits on tracks for 15-20 minutes with the “waiting for signal clearance” recording blaring over and over. And/or standing on platform for 10 minutes for each train (I have to take 2 trains) while getting very heavily snowed on.
I should probably just get up like an hour or 2 earlier and aim to arrive at like 7! But seasonal depression is hitting me hard and I am having a hard time getting out of bed at all, let alone in pitch black. Plus then all my time would be spent shushing the cats so Boyfriend can sleep, rather than actually getting ready.
I just want to be able to use my free Starbucks gift card! I haven’t been able to yet because I have to be in this STUPID meeting and try to talk intelligently and catch everything else that people are wrong about without benefit of caffeine.
Also, it is snowing a lot directly on my head and it is not going to stop until Saturday and what if this happens when we are supposed to go to Hawaii and o’hare is shut down for days and we can’t go??

I’m awake. And I’m not puking, but I’m not not puking.

Is this not normal behavior? I thought everyone did this?

I guess it could’ve been worse, apparently Train 2 was actually 30 minutes behind schedule but I only had to wait 10 minutes for it.
PEOPLE. This is Chicago. Snow is not unusual. Try and figure out how to make the fucking trains still operate in snow!

Loud Talker is in their office today.
I have to lock and unlock my office every time I’m out of it now due to some petty theft.
Up note: Patchouli Dispenser has not struck the Good Bathroom today.

Vanguard is being dumb and wants a notarized form to make any transaction from my bank. And does not have online chat service so I might have to call them. I expected better from them than this.

This seems weird! I definitely didn’t have to do that. 
My dog wants to go on a walk, but it’s raining and I have the baby and I don’t want to.

I didn’t either for the first transaction with this bank or with ones made with a different bank. I’m hoping it’s something small like a name mismatch or something easily explained. I was just trying to get ahead on Roth IRA contributions for the year.

My agency has a contract with a hospital. This contract says they’ll provide an office for me to work out of if I help them with their Medicaid client troubles.
Three separate individuals working for said hospital keep telling the person I work closely with (also hospital staff) that they emailed me information and that I’m not fast enough/not doing my job.
No emails to be found within the specified windows.
My notes say they called.
I hope they trip over their own feet today.
I have a migraine.

My reading stamina has been shit recently.
I am so sick of people constantly yelling and screaming within 20 feet of my desk at Volunteer Place. I know that at least a quarter of the folks who spend more than 10 minutes here are going through some shit and often have underlying mental illnesses to boot, but it puts me on edge, and some days I just feel delicate about it. Today is one of those days.

Trying to find a babysitter is a special hell. And all my well meaning friends who “complain” that I never ask them to watch Bobbin don’t get that I need a babysitter during the day when they all work and that arranging all this shit is so taxing that I’d rather just stay home unless it’s absolutely necessary

Bigger kid has intense brain fog. He can’t form a sentence or perform a simple task. This is day two and I have no idea how to help or even what to call it.

It’s raining on top of ice and snow and I bit it walking from the parking structure into work this morning. I landed on the rain-covered ice, so now my butt is wet and cold. I went outside to throw down more ice melt and stepped in a giant slippery puddle, so now my feet are wet and cold too.
