Things that are Frustrating
in no particular order
- contacting the company printing your album to say, "Oh hey, I need to cancel plastic wrap and topspines*1 on half my order," and getting as a response, "Oh you wanted topspines? We forgot to charge you for those, and we're now going to quote you a different price than what was quoted on the order form. Here's a PayPal request for having them on your entire order."
- having to take flagyl while wondering what that bloody stool was about. It's not like I wasn't having enough gastronomic distress without the "Kill Everything Everywhere" pill.
- knowing that no matter what I do my cat Elektra is going to die in short order. She's stopped eating and is incredibly weak. She's old (she's a rescue so I have no idea how old) and has had problems getting enough calories before, but this is it. I don't think she's going to last the week. There's nothing to do and I'm utterly heartbroken.
- "We're probably going to have to charge you for running a second set of proofs, because you didn't approve the first set... but I can probably get around that."
- I don't know if I'm coming or going and I know I've forgotten something.
- there's a come-to-Jesus conversation coming and I don't think it will change anything.
- I dread coming into my kitchen because that's where Elektra has decided she wants to be: in front of the fridge in loaf positionloaf position</a>.
- I know I've forgotten something.
- Amy has to be in Cincinnati this week.
1) You know those damnable stickers on jewel cases that are a pain to remove and are supposed to stop shoplifters but don't actually do anything but muck up your nails? They have a name, apparently. "Topspines".
