Well, it's been a bang your head against the wall kind of day. I am in a serious snit, but I'm not sure if it is hormonal anger I'm feeling or justifiable frustration over the fact that everything I have wanted to do today has resulted in me running up against some stupid obstacle.
Boss' feeding scanner won't cooperate with a large scanning project that was already stupid when a feeding scanner was available to do it, and is positively retarded if I have to hand feed the scanner on my desk. And we have the lovely new scanning digital copier and the scanning function isn't hooked up on it because Cellmate's boss has gotten HIS panties in a twist about the machine, so who knows when THAT will be available.
I switched e-mail software, hoping to get rid of the e-mail problem. When it didn't go away, I started trying to access our online customer service account, but something was wrong with the password or user name or something, because that wouldn't work. The only thing that's gone right today is that customer support in India was able to make my e-mail work. Except that as I was typing, Outlook closed for an unknown C++ runtime error. *mutters*
Meanwhile, at one point, when I shut down Outlook and brought it up, it downloaded my e-mail a second time. I do not want my e-mail deleted from the server, because I like to be able to pick it up from home. So I am gonna be pretty ticked off if there's something going on with Outlook that it isn't smart enough to identify messages it has already downloaded and not take them down again.
I was unable to import old messages from Eudora to Outlook or to export them from Eudora to Outlook, which is no big deal except that it was yet another thing I couldn't do.
I was unable to call American Express and get a straight answer about who their corporate agent is in Virginia. THAT was a practically farcical exercise, which for a certain part of the day was actually making me laugh, it was so funny. Any other day, and it would have been a joke.
I suppose I should be glad that the DMV exercise took less than an hour.
I think my mood is also due in part to two other things. I was reading one of my stories today and I really hated it. And I got some news about something else today that made me unexpectedly unhappy about some things in my personal life that are too personal even to share here.
Yeah. Looking back over this e-mail, I'm thinking there's a strong patina of hormones. Gonna make a note.
OK. Done whining.
