I am quite classically not in a Good Mood. In fact I am boiling over with uncontained rage inside. Why oh why oh why can't I just one have a business trip that the organisation goes smoothly.
We're flying out at the very crack of dawn on Monday. so Ill have to get up at 3am to get to the airport on time.
I had to cancel my last Brownie meeting of the year for this trip.
The travel agent first couldn't book a car - we need an offroad vehicle - we're driving straight lines through the bos. Then they found a vehicle but had to have a credit card. Then they lost the vehicle and we're likely to be getting a Yaris.... A yaris containing three people and their luggage - Chaaaaaarming.
I need to have money with me so that we can eat and sleep while we're in Botswana. So I drive through in the hot hot day to Sandton to the Bank where we arranged the foreign exchange money.
"Oh sorry we haven't got stock of Pula yet today"
"Please sign here anyway I promise Ill call you before 4pm to collect"
So I drove all the way back to the office - skipped my lunch break so that I could be out in the car again in a few hours to collect my pocket money.
At 2pm the Administrator lady phoned and the response was: "Can you come collect tomorrow?"
NO!!! My brother is getting MARRIED! Tomorrow is NOT a working day! I have better things to do! Like have photos. and make pretty. and go to the church ... and stuff.
So the plan is to go to the Bank of Doom 30 minutes earlier than when they said they would be ready and huff and puff and maybe Ill get my pocket money in time to get home and throw on some make up and a pretty dress.
I didn't even get a call from the teller I dealt with (who is right now in my mind the worst human in existance) to apologise!
Both of the specialists on my project have been out of the office for the past three days - so I have to deal with a deluge of snippy emails from contractors all by myself.
"Where is teh picture on page 34?"
"Turn to page 33, then turn one more page, see the picture there? that is the picture on page 34."
"Oooooooh I see the picture now"
I am extremely low on sugar and not in a good mood - I pity the fool who comes to speak to me next. I sulk at my cubicle and plot and my early exit from here. ... and possibly arson.
On top of that! has anyone else noticed that the internet is REALLY slow lately? As in I use internet on three different service providers at various times of the day this week and all of them are so slow that pictures never load before the webpages time out! Who leeched all my internets?!
Mr DQ-UK hasn't emailed much lately - I don't know what I did wrong... Mr Thursday has been even quieter - I really don't know what I did wrong... And half my friends are ignoring me and my polite invites to be sociable - and the ones that do respond are busy.
I sent some one else a sincere very nicely worded apology - no response there either - not even some verbal abuse that tehy acknowledge that I was in the wrong.
At least the Highveld thunderstorm building outside matches my mood.
