What a crap day, Consuela.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

and I got home to check my email and discovered that my plans with friends (to include Max Headroom and dinner and CAKE) have been cancelled. And here I am with a cake on my hands.
At least you still have cake? Which you should totally share with me.
And I'll be in town the several days before your last day, and will gladly buy you a drink if things are (still) sucking.

Consuela, that's horrid. All of it.

Well, I have Jon Stewart on my Tivo and a big pile of books to read. And a bottle of wine.
Things could be worse.
I'm not even really angry: I'm just frustrated and exhausted by the continual assfuckery of the organization.
In other news, remember how UPS left my new cellphone to be stolen from my front step? It took nearly an hour and a half on the phone with T-Mobile to convince them to send me another one, including a not-bluffing-at-all threat to switch to Verizon--because they wanted me to wait six weeks to confirm that I wasn't secretly using the lost phone, before either refunding what I'd paid or replacing it.
When I finally announced that this runaround was making me decide to go with another carrier, then I got sent over to the Loyalty Group, where it was all resolved in ten minutes, and they even shipped the new phone to my office so it wouldn't get lost again.
Unbelievable: these companies are really just hoping you'll get fed up and go away, rather than demand actual service from them.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
because they wanted me to wait six weeks to confirm that I wasn't secretly using the lost phone, before either refunding what I'd paid or replacing it.
Prove you're not a lying liar! Prove it! And pay us money for the privilege!
Asses.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ah, that's ridiculous.
My web stuff is now continuing apace. I need to step away so I can just let the web guy be the web guy and not be all up in his digital face waiting to see what he fixes next. It's not on me. That's the whole point of migrating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy, Consuela. You're having a hell of a run.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
because they wanted me to wait six weeks to confirm that I wasn't secretly using the lost phone, before either refunding what I'd paid or replacing it.
Ack. I've generally had great customer service with T-Mobile, but ack.
And a bottle of wine.
I lied! I actually do have alcohol! I have a whole bottle of champagne in my fridge that I need to give to someone because it is of no use to me.

Pour some down Consuela's gullet.

Suela, that really blows. You really need some of PC's champagne.
Speaking of champagne-worthy events, I have a really happy one--my brother just got engaged yesterday!! They're going to get married this summer, but the only thing that's currently sucking is that Ivonne's mom (who lives in Venezuela) is getting the shaft by Immigration because they won't give her a visa. Apparently, Ivi really screwed up her last visit to the States and didn't get her an extended visa for her year-long stay, and she's still on the government's shit list.
