When Today Was Just Plain Sad
So last night on the phone, SB told me something rather depressing and now that I think some more about it, it’s really depressing. It kind of puts things into perspective and also just opens my eyes a little bit more to how fucked up this world is. Maybe it doesn’t pertain to the whole world, but I figure if this country could be as messed up as it is, then can there really be a perfect country? No. It’s just very sad and I wish that I could do something about it, but I can’t. I wouldn’t even know where to begin and what ideas to pitch because it’s such a complicated mess.
Also, today, I had to run into annoying people. First, I call Cingular to get the plans fixed and I get this ridiculous lady who couldn’t for whatever reason get my damn phone number right. I had to tell it to her three times before she finally got it down. Then she asked me another two to three times what the purpose of my call was and just took forever, so I told her that I would just hang up and get it over with in the store. So I go to the store and I explain what I wanted with the sales associate. What I wanted to do was to put both of mine and SB’s numbers onto a family plan since it was currently on its own individual plans. So to my knowledge, the sales associate has done it.
Low and behold, I go home to check my account to make sure everything is in order and what do I find? She’s put just my number into a group plan but didn’t put SB’s number in it either. So I had myself on a group plan, him on an individual plan. Stupid, no? So I had to call customer service one more time to get it straightened out and it’s now where I want it to be.
I also went to go return the boots I had bought on Sunday. I wore them around for a bit in my apartment and realized that it wasn’t a really good fit, so I returned it. The sales associate there was as slow as can be. He would take about five seconds to look at what I wrote down and then put it into the computer, except he definitely took his time. Not to mention that he was typing with just one finger and didn’t know where all the keys were.
I just want to shoot the stupid people. And in addition to the stupid people, I read a friend’s blog about her stupid encounter with two stupid people (at once) at Starbucks. Seriously, stupid people need to go and form their own colony so they leave the rest of us alone.
So I finished writing my paper today. Luckily, it’s the first draft so it was okay if it was a bit shitty. I tried my best not to write horribly and wrote to the best of my ability, but I know that there were spots I could have fixed. I’m just not quite too happy for the upcoming week because I’ve still got two more midterms and the hardest one, biology, will be during that week.
The good thing about the upcoming week is that SB will be here for the entire week. He won’t be staying with me for that long, but at least he will be here and that’s what counts. There are absolutely no words to describe how I’m feeling when I’m with him and even how he makes me feel when I’m not. This whole relationship from the beginning (and I mean the true beginning) until now has just been… beautifully amazing. (That’s the best I could come up with in coherent words) I believe that the greatest thing (or one of) is that we never expected this and never had the intention of forming such a relationship. Our feelings took us by surprise and from then on, it’s been a wonderful ride.
Oh, don’t take that previous paragraph as somehow related to fucking Valentine’s Day. I really hate this holiday. As much as I love looking at the flowers or eating the candy, it’s a meaningless holiday. Why should people allow the calendar to tell him when it’s okay to celebrate their love? Why not make everyday special and meaningful? Even if you’re too busy, then why not choose your own damned day? But whatever. People like spending money and it’s just another excuse for women to get gifts. Stupid, I admit, but at some point, everybody’s superficial.
