Hey guys.
Well where do I start? I've had the worst day ever today! Don't know where to begin- I guess with the beginning of the day.
8.50am - white van man drives head on into me because he decides he can't be bothered to give way when I have priority. Damage: car needs to go into garage and courtesy car required, 40 mins late for work, bad start to a Monday morning. Rectifiction: Nikki calls insurers at work and arranges repair and courtesy car. Verdict: annoying but not a big deal as its all sorted.
10am - realise that the woman from Vodafone messed up and instead of activating my new sim card with my new number, she activated with my old number (also on Vodafone contract). Damage: new number deleted so nobody could contact me, old number only working on new sim card, 1 sim card rendered completely useless. Rectification: see below...
1pm: Vodafone guy on the phone says I have to go back to the store where I bought the phone. Damage: angry Nikki, cant get to the store til Saturday. Rectification: Nikki decides she has to go to the most local Vodafone store after work.
5pm: Nikki goes to Vodafone store nearer her (not the original one where I bought the thing) and nice chap gives her two new sims and activates one for each number. Damage: neither phone works as sims take up to an hour to register on the network, courtesy car chap can't get in touch with her, she's late home and worried that the courtesy car chap will have been and gone cos its now 6pm and she told them to deliver at 5.30. Rectification: Nikki uses nice Vodafone man's phone to call insurance co. and arrange alternative courtesy car delivery plan, also phone magically starts working while Nikki on the phone.
18.30: Nikki gets home and turns on her laptop, only to find it shuts itself down and won't restart. Damage: laptop broken and a really annoyed Nikki. Rectification: Nikki shakes laptop about a bit and leaves it for a while, when it magically starts working again!
OMG such a stressful day its unbelievable. I'm going to go into work early tomorrow to make up for the lost time today, as its only my second week in the job and don't want them to think I'm not dedicated, even if the accident was totally not my fault.
It's weigh in tonight, I just hope this string of unlucky events will not extend to the meeting and I see a good loss! Feeling the need for a long soak in the bath, a bar of chocolate and an early night. Unfortunately WI probs wont finish til about 9 so the soak in the bath will have to be missed, but the bar of chocolate and early night will go ahead (I have enough points left!!!).
Hope this courtesy car is gonna turn up soon as it still isn't here and its supposed to be here before 7.30
What a day. On the upside, I haven't had time to eat much as was on the phone all thru my lunchtime (ate my sarnies on the phone but not much else) and was really busy all day due to coming in late and having to leave bang on 5 to get to the phone shop in time, had about an extra hour's work to do squash in! So pointswise am doing quite well. Don't have it in me to put them all up on here right now but I have 7.5 left having already deducted the 3 I needed to drop to make up for the weekend's antics. And I've already had dinner, so that 7.5 can be used on some yummy treats! Will indulge after the meeting!
