Lee, sorry to hear about the anticipated stress at work. Am I to understand by items 2-4 that you are getting stiffed for someone else's use of fasttrak in your previous car? Grrr, argh.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had some wine I needed to finish off. Bourbon may be later though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yipes Lee, that's not a good series of things to learn in one day.
thugkitchen.com is pretty awesome.
My kids drove me nuts all afternoon but have now settled into a good evening. I'll take it even though it's not really a win, more like a draw.
In mememe news, I took on my own personal onerous task day and somehow managed to schedule 2 necessary doctors' visits before the kids get out of school this Friday. Oh! but I still need to schedule Isaac's yearly check up.

I came home to two letters from Fasttrak telling me I now owe them $59 for evading tolls on two different bridges.

That sucks, Lee.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What a PITA. I hope the work thing doesn't impact you too badly.
IMeN: how can I be so far behind when it's only Monday? I am destressing about the impending transition and work by reminding myself that if it all goes pear-shaped I can use the time off. And if it all goes just fine I have time off in three weeks. So everything is hunky dory.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, Lee. But, FWIW, I've had multiple snags with FasTrak in the past -- everything from transponder dying to expired credit card to accidental toll evasion by way of 3-4 booths in a row failing to ping the transponder -- and they've always been shockingly fast and unproblematic about getting everything fixed. As bureaucracies go, they're clearly doing it wrong.

The main problem I have with this is that the dealership should have already taken the title out of my name and all that, and they don't seem to have.
I called the dealership and bitched them out already--they say they are going to take care of it, but I'm still going call Fasttrak tomorrow.
I also told the dealership that they have until next Wednesday (when I get home from the conference) to prove to me in writing that they have this solved and that the paperwork is done right, but if they haven't I am going on the warpath, starting with yelp and ending with the Costco auto program.
It could be they picked a bad day to fuck with me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks for the reset, Zen!
Glad to be of help!
I finished my 75 for the day! Granted, it took me all day, but I did it. Tomorrow is a rest day, and I think I'll start the 30-Day Ab Challenge from the same people tomorrow, so I don't lose momentum from having a day of doing nothing.
msbelle, sorry Oz's diagnosis wasn't better, but glad it wasn't worse. Diabetes is at least manageable.
Lee, that's so frustrating! I hope they fix their stupid mistakes quickly. I've had similar problems with the East Coast version whatever it's called. I got to the point I'd rather just slow down and pay the toll at the time than fool with their systems and devices.

Um, I'm not sure there is any day that is a good day to fuck with you. They will cover the $59 fees, yes?
