Forget retrograde. This Mercury cycle is radioactive.
Saturday started with a car wash where I forgot I’d had a passenger. So I didn’t check the passenger side window FOR A WEEK.
Anyway, I finally did it — I drove through a car wash with a window open.
Then I went to put a $10 in the bill changer, so I could buy some towels.
And it ate my $10.
I mean, that beat the week before where I climbed seven floors to my car in a garage. Only to fall over the concrete slab at the head of an accessible parking spot that they put right in front of the stairs.
And when I was backing out of my spot, I looked to ensure I had gotten all the shit that had spilled from my purse.
Well, guess who forgot to BRAKE first.
The car is mostly fine. I haven’t had skinned knees since I was 10. At least my ego isn’t bruised.
Then just now, I got a message from an airline that my flight got rebooked.
Um … what? Which one? Why?
It was one of my multi-city trips.
(Airline) changed the third flight … to the same day as the first two.
So, depart (home) at xx time. Get to layover two hours later. Arrive at third city FOR A SECOND, FIVE-HOUR LAYOVER.
Fut the wack?!
I had to go find my email and argue with the chatbot.
When I blew up the chatbot, I got a nice agent who restored order and gave me a flight credit for my trouble.
I mean, that flight credit will get me a Bloody Mary. But still.
Also I’ve spoken to DTOM a good 14 times this week. But I got a fun comment in with their boss about, “Hey they told me this but let me run that by you real quick.”
The reply was ok go push back. Like, GLADLY.
I got another fun comment in. This person keeps trying to sell us on hiring all their old colleagues from another company.
I said, “There is only one person from that company who ever impressed me. His name is (Redacted). Otherwise, that place is not exactly a talent factory.”
Then I let that sink in for a minute.
I know someone who is not invited to read this page or comment on anything about me will sit there and blow their bangs when I say this, but fuck you — I WON TODAY.
