Today has been one of the worst days in my life, in terms of the level of stress I've been under. I'm so out of it that I can't even really be coherent about it. Also, my back, head, and lip-that-I-just-bit-a-chunk-out-of hurt like a bitch. I am cranky. I woke up at 9am and found an error in my flight going out to Ohio tomorrow. It said I owed NWA $100 for changing my flight schedule earlier in June. Um, the Customer Service rep said I didn't have to pay for that since it was THEIR FAULT my flight got cancelled. So I had to call and bitch and fix that, which I did. Then we went to the AAA office to talk to a travel agent, which turned out to be the most useless waste of time ever, because the old hard-of-hearing woman knew less about going to Japan than I did. Then we shopping, and I bought a 250 gig external harddrive to back up my laptop before I go to Japan. Getting back in the van, I hit my head on the top of the door hard enough to see stars and get dizzy. Then we got home, and I spent another 6 hours trying to book a flight to Japan. I'm flying Korean Air, can't understand their customer service people, and am certain I'm going to die before I ever get to see m.o.v.e and do hanami. Then we filled out my student visa paperwork and prepared it for mailing. Then the eye doctor called to say that my trial pair of contacts were in, and I had to go learn how to put in contact lenses which I'll have to fuck with while I'm in Ohio. The right one, which is the more complicated one because it has to correct for both nearsightedness AND astigmatism, works fine and I have little issue with it. The left one, which is simpler because it's only correcting for nearsightedness, is flimsy as fuck and hurts my eye, and we had to try two different ones to get one close to the right size. And the one I ended up with isn't a high enough prescription. And I have to fuss with them until Monday the 16th, which was when I was supposed to go back to work, but now I have to go in late because I have to get my eyes checked up on again. Please pass this along to Blob-people who probably don't read this journal: If anyone needs to get a hold of me Friday/Saturday/Sunday, call my cell and leave a message. I am going to be in Ohio for the next three days, and I am not bringing my computer. This is especially important with anything regarding the Con next weekend. Pictures will be forthcoming. Have a good weekend, everybody.
