You ever have the days where it just feels like every single thing goes wrong. As everyone else goes into a three day weekend, I was looking forward to at least one day off. But that just wasn't in the cards...It started on Wednesday when I noticed water dripping from my ceiling. So I called my home warranty company and supposedly a local company was coming out.
Anyways, long story short, it was horrendous customer service by the local company and the home warranty company and they weren't going to get someone out by Tuesday - all the while water is dripping from my ceiling. I decided to cut my loss on that one and call a local company that advertises on WSB. It cost me a $1,000 and I have obnoxiously loud fans blowing all weekend, but I still think it was the better decision.
If that wasn't enough, I sat down to work on one little computer project (personal, not work) that I thought would take 30 minutes...it ended up taking six hours! Whole day gone.
Then, just for the icing on the cake, I go out to my mailbox, and my lovely dentist (who I actually can't stand), sent me a bill because I guess my new insurance doesn't cover as much as my old insurance did.
So what do you do we it seems like all the crap hits the fans?
It isn't even the time and the money. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't like dropping $1,000 bucks that isn't travel related, but at least I sort of have it. And it isn't like the loss of one day off in the grand scheme of things is going to be anything. But it still doesn't negate the fact that sometimes days like this are just going to happen.
We did a show back in October of last year about this, but to be frank, I can't remember what was said. But I think the two things that I always remember is that 1.) the worst day I can have (minus maybe losing a loved-one) would be traded in a second by billions of people around the world and 2.) there's nothing I can really do about it at this point, and it doesn't help the situation to be in a bad mood about it.
Alright...well, the burgers are done, I got friends over (despite the fans), and here's to a better night...






You also mentioned something about burgers. Am I invited? :)
And I am working on the reimbursement issue - I need to take to my dad first (my attorney) to see how to proceed.
