My city has 3 Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores, basically thrift stores for building supplies. Every third Thursday they sell everything for 25% off. I have cross the city a few times and filled my car to capacity with amazing deals. I might go back later. This is not my complaint.
Complaints:
I get the house tomorrow. If I had gotten it yesterday I could have measured a bunch of things and bought flooring, windows, all the things today. That would have been convenient.
I get the house tomorrow so I have to unload the stuff into my house for one night then move it to the new house. Unload reload reunload.
After three phone calls to the pharmacy to try to get them to ship my medicine to me, they finally sent the package… but FedEx returned it to sender, so now I have to go pick it up in person after all. I find it particularly bothersome when something I thought would be a time-saver just turns out to be extra difficult.
The most comfortable sofa is for sale at the re-store. It’s cheap and brand new and a nice colour… and would take up 2/3 of the living room. Plus the dogs would destroy it in three minutes flat. But I want to burrow in it forever!
In another complaint from me, I apparently have my period (which actually explains some things) and my library volunteer gig is reminding me why I should avoid working retail at all costs. Old men trying to tell you how to do your job because it would literally save them two minutes in flipping through secondhand CDs can kiss.my.fucking.arse.
My bigger kid’s teacher called to say that because he hasn’t handed in anything since early October he has failed English. The stuff he handed in back in September all got A’s, so presumably he could have earned an A this semester.
I spoke with him about this. Not calmly or nicely. The kid has all his assignments completed, on his computer. He just never sent them to his teacher. What the fuck?!?!?!!??
Why did all my chores not get the memo that it’s my Motherfucking Birthday Weekend?
I want to be exploring ancient Egypt and killing people right now, not sorting through 2 weeks worth of dirty clothes.
