Rant Post
I am seriously sorry to do this. But I must rant. It has to happen. Today has been by far the most frusturating day in months. I actually cried. that's how frusturated I was. I feel recovered now. Mostly because of the Awesome Story of Pomello Pete (See Heather's Blog).
Okay. So, First of all, to make all my summer goals become reality, I faced the fact that I need to get a summertime job. Since I have a week off before summer classes start, I figured, it's time to get going on this. This morning, I got up early enough to get a good start, took a nice shower, noticed that the new ring I had put in my nose was irritating the crap out of my piercing, and then went to print off some resumes. Well, turns out that my crappy printer has run out of ink again (just to put this into context, I just bought a new ink cartridge not two weeks ago). So, I got over that, told myself okay, time to make a trip to London Drugs. So, I get all dressed up for resume handing-out (figuring i would just go get the cartridge and then return).
Here's the first clue for Sylvia to Abort Mission Hand-out Resumes. I missed my bus. By one minute. So i wait for the next one, get on it and head downtown.
I get to London Drugs, pick up the ink cartridge and realize that I do not have enough money in my account to pay for it. Out comes the credit card.
Then, I went to the piercing place, because my nose was seriously bloated, and got the ring changed for a stud. Had to pay for that. Yes for the Mastercard.
So, after all this, its about 1:30. I figured, I will get on the bus, print off some resumes and drop them off around the new neighbourhood. I got on the bus, swiped my bus pass and then promptly get told by the bus driver, that it is expired. I tried to reason with him, telling him things like, Well, sir, it did just expire yesterday, and No, sir, I do not have the two dollars required for the bus ride. and, Please sir, let me ride the bus this one time. I promise I will get it updated.
Needless to say, He kicked me off.
So, I started to walk home, after all its not such a bad day out, right? oh no, it started raining about halfway home. So i finally get home after a nice long (half wet) walk and go to put my ink cartridge in, figuring well, I can still hit a few places. I press print on my resume and this error message comes up:
"The printer cartridge installed is not compatible with the printer"
Thats about when i started crying. I really hope London Drugs will take it back. I can't afford another 30 dollars for an ink cartridge that is going to run out in two weeks.
That's my story. Tomorrow should be better. After all it is my birthday.
