More Grumpiness
« on: August 16, 2005, 01:32:37 AM »
As far as I can see, no one has started a new grumpy thread since the last one got locked, so here I go.

I'm grumpy because I had grumpy things to grump about and no grumpy thread to post on.

I'm angry because Apple made it so amazingly hard to locate a specific song on your iPod and pull it off onto your computer. I finally got the song I wanted, but it took about a half hour.

I'm grumpy because I'm over-heated, tired, and I just lost my popsicle. I lost my popsicle to my ferret who decided she wanted it, thus climbed on my shoulders and got her tongue stuck.

Hahaha! I realize that it's a grumpy thing for you, but the picture of that ferret stealing your popsicle is hilarious to me.

I'm grumpy because I should have been reimbursed for my expenses at ALA back about a month ago (ALA was TWO months ago), and I need the money, and all they are doing is griping that I didn't fill out the form right and that a supervisor didn't sign the second page of two pages. It's absolutely ridiculous to me that since the conference was over a weekend, you have to submit TWO reports, because of the week-ending date. Which throws off the receipts, because the hotel only gives you one receipt for the whole thing. What am I supposed to do, tell them to check me out and in again on the Sunday so that my company can have two receipts?

I could really use that money, dang it, and they just expect you to smile and pay off your corporate credit card with your own money and wait three months for a reimbursement, not to mention the $100 I paid out of my own pocket.

I'm grumpy because EUOL stole my name for a pirate queen consort to an evil-I'm-going-to-rule-the-empire strategic genius.

I'm grumpy because I have to be at work in six hours, and I still haven't started my cleaning checks.  Stupid freaking BYU approved housing.  I haven't had cleaning checks in the last two years that I've lived here.  Why does the management have to start doing them now?

I'm grumpy because the collection agency for the hospital just called and claims I owe them money for a bill I payed off months ago. They claim they don't have any records of any of my payments. Just when I thought I was done dealing with the hospital, now I have to drudge up my old records to try and prove my side to them. Incidentally, they always refute my side of the events no matter how much evidence I have against them and no matter how many times I point out that their records are wrong or outdated. Utah medical billers are completely incompetent and/or dishonest.

I had a dream that someone on TWG IMed me and said, "You deserve the Newbie Slapdown!" Internet people are really intimidating...
