Apr. 12th, 2015 08:06 pmMurphy almost won today.
I discovered that I'm missing six months of Yahoo email, between November 13 and March 13. Unfortunately, the trip itinerary was a February email. OK, says I. Annoying, but I can get the itinerary from Travelocity. Only Travelocity said "there are no itineraries associated with that email address." EEK! There had damn well better be, because I've got the credit card bill that says so.
Followed one of the more harrowing half hours of my life, which I spent on hold waiting for somebody at Travelocity to pick up the phone. Fortunately, once they did and we got past the "what's your itinerary number?" "I don't have it and I can't get it, that's what I'm calling you for!" bit, they found the itinerary and sent it again and I went to print it and found that my printer wanted new toner. Of course. Printers just know the worst time to stop working, and generally that's when they do it. The one at work is famous for it.
So I took myself off to Walgreens for odds and ends and Staples for printer toner, and arrived at Staples half an hour before it actually opened (it has short hours on Sunday). At that point I was feeling rather like I had tried to swallow my tongue, so I went and swallowed some coffee for a while instead. Eventually I arrived at home again with printer toner, and promptly installed it and printed the itinerary and packed it with my passport.
All's well that ends well, but I've probably got a dozen new grey hairs. And I have PT at 8:00 tomorrow morning, so getting some decent sleep tonight is important. I parked my brain in front of a couple of comic book movies this afternoon, and Snip parked herself in my lap, and now everybody's at least tranquil if not happy.
