It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~So B has this professor at school who leaves super long notes / comments on his assignments. All the assignments relate to the end of the semester research paper they are writing so he wants to make sure he knows what she’s saying. Only, yeah, you can’t read her writing. B showed it to me one day and I was all huh? I wasn’t even sure it was english. I used to have a boss like that too. I had no idea what many of the notes on my reports I’d turn into him were. And then I’d go ask him and he’d look and look and go you know what, no correction necessary, because he couldn’t read it either!
~Grrr. So we are in Vegas and obviously I get that food and all that is more expensive here, than in Michigan. But $4 for a box of chocolate milk at Starbucks? Seriously? I felt violated after I forked over my money (I should have read the price tag). I later realized that McDonalds, which is two steps away from Starbucks sells their containers of chocolate milk for $0.99!!!!! I usually don’t feel this way, but #mcdonaldsforthewin. Seriously Starbucks? $4?
~Oh and also, I am getting charged $35/night to “rent” a crib at the hotel. I called and asked if they had cribs and requested one in my room. Umm, no one mentioned at that time they would cost $35/night. That just seems excessive. I could have BOUGHT a brand new pack n play and had it delivered to the hotel for that. Had I realized this in advance (which I suppose is my fault because I am guessing this information is somewhere online), I would have just brought my own from home. #lessonlearned.
~My iPhoto keeps crashing and has had to be “repaired” more times than I can count. I have no idea what’s up with it (it’s empty I swear) and it’s driving me nuts. It takes so long for it to repair itself and makes everything else slow in the process. I am guessing this is going to require a trip to the genius bar, but I’d love to know if anyone has ever had this issue before?
~I have been selling a few things on eBay lately and am getting annoyed by the lack of payments in a timely manner. If you win an auction and I ask you to contact me within 24 hour and send you an invoice, well, I would think that’s what you’d do. But I’d be wrong! It’s been, umm, 5 days and nothing. Do I file a claim? I don’t want to pay the fees on this you know? But I am guessing eBay makes you wait a certain amount of time? Anyone know? Help!
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
