Have you ever had those few weeks or months where nothing seems to be going right?

I honestly didn't know I had so much bad karma built up as to have to be dealing with so many annoying little road blocks the last while...

- Death in the family just before christmas (and the usual family feud)
- Mono over christmas
- Lost luggage over Christmas

and now, while trying to catch up on work on a project I'm supposed to be leading, and a mere few days before I have to submit my package to apply for a promotion, my work laptop dies.

Then I spend several hours on the phone because the help(less) desk keeps forwarding me to Atlanta Georgia -- and seriously, since when has an American been able to help out with a Canadian problem?

ugh...

oh well.. not like I can do any work until someone finds me a replacement laptop (2-3 days)... so I may miss the deadline for package submission, be stuck at the same paygrade for another year, and lose my position as team lead on this project...

this just blows.

[edit] on the plus side, yesterday was my 10 year anniversary at my company... so my pension contribution goes up, and I may get an extra week of vacay...  woot[/edit]

First of all, sorry to hear about the death, and the ensuing "B*****it
Secondly, see what happens when you sell a Focus and buy something else :rolleyes:
