Yet more grumpiness

[stacer]

That happened to me in high school, minus the having a filling first. At first it was just a hole, but eventually it started hurting. So I complained to my dad and stepmom, and they didn't do anything about it because we had no money. About a year later, I had to have a root canal, a $600 bill which could have been avoided had we scraped together $100 the year before. Since then, I've had to have another root canal on the same tooth because of a bone infection (couldn't be prevented; the first root canal just didn't get it all), and just had to have that tooth pulled because the root broke.

I also think that a large majority of my sinus infections can be traced back to that tooth infection, because of the proximity of the sinuses to the roots of my molars.

So, you don't have money now (I know what that's like), but do have it taken care of as soon as you can, because it can cause a lot of trouble down the road.

Meh.  I'm over it.

So down I could be a speed bump, if I were out of the gutter that is.

Dude, give me a call. It's too nice a day to hang out in the office all day.

This is why I support the idea of the NHS, despite it being a monsterous money devouring beast.

Scotland vs Ireland in rugby: Scotland lost.

Damnit.

So . . . I finally get up the nerve to call Tor about summer internships, just to be sure Claire Eddy's still the right person to contact and all that. (Even finished a cover letter specifically for Tor to send w/ my vitae).

I call and, since all I really need is a recep or EA, I wait on the line as instructed by the answering system, and after seven seconds of placid music, it hung up on me! Tried another two times and it cut me off both times. Arrgh!

With much trepidation, I used the dial-by-name option and got Claire's ext, hoping as I dialed it that she'd be out. I mean, I didn't want to bother her if I could help it. Come to find out from her vm, she'll be gone for a week. Yet she included her assistant's ext. Her assistant wasn't in either, though. Rats. So I left what I hope was an intelligable message for her. Who knows if she'll actually call or email me back, though. Guess I'll wait a few days and then just send things off in Claire's name if I don't hear anything....

I went to the DMV (again) to get my driver's licensed changed from an Iowa to Colorado licenses and, after waiting in line for a 1.6 hours, they took my picture, punched a hole in my Iowa license and told me that I would get my Colorado license in one week to a month. They told me that I have a temporary permit for the next 30 days.

It the most moronic process for driver's licenses that I've heard. Every state that I've had a drivers license in (which is now 4) gives you a license at the DMV and not a temporary permit. It has to cost more to mail everyone resident their license than to simple make them wait another five minutes while it prints out (and after waiting for almost two hours, what is another five minutes). Someone really needs to rethink the DMV in Colorado.

When I switched my license to Utah, they printed out a temporary license and I got my real one in the mail later. So I guess Colorado is not the only one.

When I switched my lisence back to Virginia I not only got it right away, they still had my old picture on file so I didn't even have to pose.

Lost One, they did that in Washinton, too, which I thought was dumb. In Illinois, they printed it out digitally right there. Perhaps they only have one central digital printer in WA, I guess. It was rather stupid, I thought.

I waited for mine, too. My shiny, new MA license only took four or five days to arrive, tho. *That* really surprised me, I must say. Also, after taking the picture, the lady actually asked if it was okay. Huh. I was astonished to have some say so in the matter, even if I did have to wait for it to come.

I'm only 5 (4 after this post) posts away from leveling, yet I can't think of anything to post that's not simply a blatant attempt to fill the quota. Including this post.


Maybe I'll go lock some long threads and start new incarnations.

Oooh. You really are well on your way to rulling hell.
