Hotmail’s servers are too busy this morning to let me log in. This drives me batty as I am certain that I have Very Important Emails just sitting and waiting to be read in there.

In reality, I probably have an email from curt that says Hi, I made it to work, see you later, but still. Lack of access makes me insane. Nevermind that I get very few emails or phone calls, make me unable to log in or let me forget my cell phone and watch me lose my mind.

I finally am starting to feel like I know what I am doing at my job, like everything is not a huge struggle. I got an account opened this morning all by myself. Yippee! This sounds like nothing at all but it feels like I have been fighting this bizarre battle between the existing company, the new company, and the transition team for more than two months. Nevermind my boss, we won’t even get into him. He’s almost too weird to even get into.

In other news, my sinus infection seems to have stalled out. Ugh. I still don’t have my insurance card, but I think I’m going to call Dr. Kerry McIrish and see if she will see me anyway as I should have the damn card any day now. This is making me crazy, I am tired of waking up every morning feeling like my head has been packed with cement. Mitch has been telling me horror stories of what can happen if you don’t treat sinus stuff and so now I’m paranoid I’ve given everyone at tarjay pneumonia or something.

Speaking of tarjay, I have a memo for the people shopping there. I’m sure this does not apply to y’all, because you’re cool and smart people, but there are some real morons trying to buy groceries and makeup and cold medicine out there. Here goes:

-If something is on a registry, I have to scan the registry paperwork to take it off the registry. I’m very happy your son is getting married, but he’s not the only one, and just because he wants this clock doesn’t mean I can automatically take it off the registry without knowing whose registry it is.

-If you are paying with a check, you can certainly put the payee and the date on it before I tell you what the total is. If finding your checkbook requires major purse spelunking, please start it before I’m done ringing all your stuff up. This just pisses off the people behind you. And I know you don’t care but I have to deal with them.

-I know the giant bag of dog food/charcoal/ice you are buying is heavy. But I can’t scan it just by looking at it, I have to have it by the scanner or use the little gun thingy. If I hand you the little gun, don’t try to scan your eyeballs with it, just scan the merchandise and hand it back to me. Sheesh.

I feel better now. Have a good weekend, everyone.
