What a week

I've had a shocker of a week. It has tested me to the MAXIMUM. Let's see what went wrong...


Tuesday - an abolsute joke at work just how many of our appliances don't work, how much more extra work it is creating for us already overstretched and over worked waitresses, and how many complaints from customers we are getting.

Tuesday afternoon - Larissa drives into the back of another car.

Tuesday night - Larissa rings up HBF Car Insurance to lodge a claim and they inform her she will be up for the first $750 of repairs to the other car.

Wednesday morning - Larissa sleeps in (or maybe she just didn't want to get out of bed for fear Wednesday would be like Tuesday was) and misses the first half of her morning class.

Wednesday afternoon - on the way home from doing an interview for an assignment Larissa gets caught in the mother of all traffic jams on the Mitchell Freeway.

Wednesday night - Larissa can't get her interview material from the ipod onto the computer and gets very very frustrated and has a bit of a cry - not for the first time this week.

Thursday - Larissa gets up early on her only day to sleep in and rings up the technical support desk at her uni asking why she can't get the stuff on her ipod onto her computer. Turns out you need a Mac. Larissa doesn't have a Mac. She must drive to uni on her day off and do the assignment there. She spends almost 3 hours trying to figure out ipods and editing software and itunes and burning cds and sound bytes, annoys the tech support desk more times than she cares to admit and finally finishes her assignment at 2:30pm.



Now, at last, I am home. The hard part of my assignment is done. I have returned the ipod and microphone equipment and I never want to see it again. I still have to fret over the huge bill I know have to pay, and feel sad that it is cutting into the money I am trying to save for going overseas, but at least the hard parts are over. Thank God.

I never want to have a week like this again.


P.S Thanks again for your fluff Rosy. It was the only good thing in a week of bad things!
