I believe in a thing called Murphy's Law...actually, it's my life motto
So, today has been a little short of terrible. Round One: Chris was going to go after work today and sign our lease (you know, since we are moving in TOMORROW!). He get there at about 5:20 and the leasing office was closed. You see, I had talked to the woman that is the office manager on Wednesday and I explained to her that Chris would be there after he got off work at 5. She kindly smiled and told me ok and it sounded great. What she forgot to mention was that THEY CLOSE AT 5 ON FRIDAYS!!! If she would have even mentioned it, Chris could have gone during his lunch break, but no, that would have been to honest. So he is having to stay in Covington tonight when he could be starting the weekend off with me since we only get to see each other on weekends now. Oh, and did I even mention that SHE LIVES IN THE BUILDING AND ALL SHE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DO WAS COME DOWN THE STAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Moving on...Round Two: I called the power company because I had gone online and requested them to turn our power on by Friday at the latest because we are going to be there this weekend. No one ever called me so I called them today to find out what the hold up was or if it had been turned on. Of course, it had not been! Not only that, we have to pay a $120 deposit and they aren't coming until Monday. Looks like it's going to be a HOT weekend for my family...sorry guys. NOT my fault. Round Three: Seeing that it was almost 5 and I still had not heard from the UHAUL company about getting the truck tomorrow (that's going to cost another $250), I called them to make sure we were not going to get a raw deal from them too. Not only do they NOT have anything ready for us, they also are "supposed to be having vehicles dropped off all night and they'll get back to me in the morning." Excuse me?!? IS that how it's supposed to work now. We pay them $250 and MAYBE something will come in that we can use. Ughh!! Now, tempers are mounting between Chris and the leasing office and me and Georgia Power and Uhaul and all we are doing is fuming over the phone. I'm sorry to vent, but i just can't take this anymore. What happened to common courtesy and human decency? Does that even exist? Examples of it are few and far between. Oh, and did I mention that I have a test at 9 in the morning? I guess I better get going so I can pack my house up so my parents and my in-laws don't see how much of a slob I am and get busy studying. Perhaps the rain will hold off tomorrow until we can get our alleged uhaul truck loaded and move into our potential apartment with no power. Night All! I promise to be better in the morning :)

And you know my motto....What am I supposed to be learning from this. I had a "Murphy" day yesterday, and I am still pondering the question. Oh, well, In the words of Scarlet O'Hara, "I'll think about that tomorrow." Love ya!
