OK... so this will eventually be gambling related, just bear with me or move on....LOL (*warning* There is some moderate foul language below, so children, cover your eyes...)
Early in the week, I find out my 2 year old vehicle needs major warranty work done on it (taking a 'few days' of repair work), but they can't get to it 'for a couple of weeks'.
Then one day I come home from work to find a note from my termite man that one of the bait stations showed 'activity' and I can't get anyone at the termite place to call me back.
Then I get a safety recall letter on my other car (3 years old) - 'don't panic, the steering hasn't locked up or fallen off and killed anyone yet, we're just doing this to protect our asses' kind of thing.
And work has me fit to be tied - a part ordered for an elderly couple's central heating & air unit suddenly isn't in stock but had to come from the factory (we're talking 2 or 3 weeks here) and it's supposed to be in the 30's next week. Today we get a letter from the IRS about some screw up with a 1099 form (from 2 or 3 years ago) - which required digging thru 3 years worth of files just to halfway figure out WTF they were talking about since we don't require 1099's in the first place... And I couldn't reach the contractor that caused the screw up in the first place. There's more but I won't bore you any further...
That should give you an idea....
Anyway... tonight I popped open a brew, sat down at the computer and proceeded to deposit somewhere to play.... or at least I tried to.... Two different type cards and neither will work at any of my usual casinos where the cards have previously always worked. *dammit*
censored I could eat nails and spit out barbed wire....
