What a weekend

So, this weekend has been crazy and very frustrating! What has happened you may ask.

1. It's finals week and I have lots of work to do.

2. My computer decided it was going to crash Friday a little bit before I had to go to work.

3. Try to fix my computer by running the backup Friday night.

4. Backup actually crashes my computer even more Saturday morning taking all of the files with it.

5. Go shopping Saturday morning for a new computer and get home just in time to quickly get it out of the box and put together, then off to work.

6. Saturday night order the Microsoft program that I need.

7. Try to activate the trial program already on the computer, receive the message that the activation system is offline for maintenance, try again in a few minutes.

8. Still trying to activate trial and it's now Monday afternoon...grrr. There are no help numbers I can call and it just keeps telling me to check my internet connection, to try again in a few minutes.

9. My dad, who hasn't talked to me in over a year, decided he was going to call me last night and let me know he asked his girlfriend (who he had never told me about, yes I knew because my sister's had told me) to marry him. Then he proceeded to ask me if I wanted to talk to her so we could get to know each other.

10. She started the conversation with "You're the one I haven't met yet." I really wanted to reply with, "You're the one my dad has never told me about," but restrained my sarcastic side. I simply replied with, "Yes, unfortunately I don't get home very often."

11. Still getting the stupid message to try again. Can you tell I'm a little frustrated?

12. I've been trying to get ahold of Unemployment Services to let them know I got a job and can't get ahold of them. I've been trying for over a week and it is always busy.

13. I took a friend her birthday gift last night and her daughter showed me how to get their dog to calm down. They has a gorgeous cocker spaniel who loves to jump up on you (which I personally am not fond of). She clipped a mylar balloon onto the dog's collar. She ran around the house for a few laps and then realized if she layed still the balloon would quit chasing her. I was laughing so hard.
