A funny thing happened to me as I started this week...

I would not normally post a conversation with anyone but it just reads better than I can concentrate to paraphrase or regurgitate again over here. The names of the guilty, er, innocent have been changed.

Hello again.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Wanna hear about my shitty week?

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
sure it probably will go well with my shitty morning!!

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Yesterday I officially started being on call again for two weeks. Well, with the rains inevitably come the downed circuits and the resultant calls. Heck, no problems there.

I had a 300GB drive that a friend of my nephew's filled with software good ness for me fail completely and lose everything so I had to drop a drive off for him to redo it.

I had my brakes peviously squealing like a banshee now grinding like a flour mill.

We have a plumbing issue where they *&^%*(& up the layout and the T for the laundry room comes AFTER the connection from the kitchen. So, as there is now a clog past the T, the kitchen water drains into the laundry tub. So, we cannot use the dish washer or the washing machine.

OH MY GOD!!!!

I go to Home Depot yesterday to try and gather some new tools to fix the issue before having to call the landlord or a plumber (of which the landlord believes that he is). I also gather some materials to fix the broken chair finally. As I open the back glass to put the stuff in, the left strut seizes and under my force of pulling, SNAPS the entire (*&%(*& rear glass portal into a multitude of shards in and out of the vehicle.

Did I mention that it was raining yesterday, last night and today?

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
:( poor you

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
I get three calls, hours apart, over the night so I don't sleep well.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
don't you just want to start over

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
and now ? ?

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
I have an issue with a (edited: wonderful person and his site) and everyone and their mother is firing emails at me about it to get it fixed.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
I go to get my brakes done at 9AM as arranged and the Trini man was not there. I put a note on the door and drive off at 9:40AM to go get the glass looked after.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
I reach there and everyone is fasicnated by the broken glass. I just want to tell them all to FOAD!!!! Then, she tells me that the extended warranty may cover the seized strut but not the glass. I point out to her, AGAIN, that the glass broke BECAUSE of the seized strut. She says she will have to ask them and they may want to send an adjuster to determine if it is covered. THEN, she informs me that my wonderfully paid for warranty which includes a car rental does not apply since my vehicle is still driveable.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
MAN... did you hit her?

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Sure, it is driveable, but i really get self-conscious when any pedestrian can throw their garbage or themselves into the back of my vehicle.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
I just smiled and waved like the penguins in Madagascar.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
And the insurance might get upset if someone steals something from your car because they can easily get inside

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
So, no truck, no window, no brakes, no car rental, no resolution to my circuit woes, no help, no hope. And its only 11AM on a Tuesday?!>>?!>!>!>

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
I was going to say... it's only tuesday.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Needless to say, I am feeling sheepishly stupid for breaking the glass and really helpless and sorry for myself for the whole dang last 48hrs,.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
i bet

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
but shit happens and unfortunatley it's all happening at the same time for you this week :(

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Yep. There go the Christmas funds for these little shenanigans.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
that really sucks

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Yah, but don't cry for me Argentina. We always pull through and I am not letting this crap beat me down.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
there is always a way out, but when you are dealing with it , it never seems like there is

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
Been there and hated it.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Yep, that is very true. I keep trying to stay positive by saying to myself that, "there are lots of people who would die to have my little problems so stop bithcing."

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
bitching

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
ya, easier said than done, right?

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
Still, I made two errors that could end up costing me big in repairs and both could have been avoided. I hate when I do stupid stuff.

Go Trinis Go!!!!! http://dtrini.blogspot.com/ says:
And I have a hard time letting it go when it adversely affects my family.

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:

BTW, have I mentioned that I always super )(*&^)( hate Rogers still?!?! Those bastards are still screwing up our cable and internet access on a nearly weekly basis. AND they only ever want to coem here to check stuff out. Look, ass for brains, how about considering the fact that nothing has changed in or around my house and that your shitty service is simply, well, shitty?

Frog #2.. back from disney !! says:
