• mourning two "deaths" today -_-

  for some reason or another, the internet was down last night, so i didn't get to update the situation.
  
  it's fine now. there's less texting happening than there was originally, which is good, but we're cool.
  
  i turned my phone on upon realizing that i needed to keep it on since i'll be checking on alex's pets should she be in labour for too long. thus i'll need my phone on in case i'm called to do this. upon turning it on though, it decided it was going to be in flight mode. frozen. and refusing to turn off without having the battery removed. five times. i took the sim card out and turned it on again, and it didn't even register the lack of sim... so i had to reset it. again. then this morning, my alarm never went off. i was two hours late to work. because my phone is crap.
  
  after work, i went to the cingular store and picked up a nokia 6030 to get by until november when i'm up for upgrade... but i paid $130 for the damn thing. it's cool and all... but not for that much money and that little memory/amount of features. thusly, i'm keeping it until the phone i actually wanted (lg cu500, lg's version of the razr) + a bunch of accessories shows up from ebay next week for about $150.
  
  today was kinda shitty. yesterday, i found that i had an extremely small update, and was done in five minutes. i was happy. i finished putting the graphic novels in order... then wrote an angry note and posted it on the bulletin board in the back since it was so crappy looking over there.
  i tell you this because it leads you into today.
  
  i walked in two hours late, thanks to my phone, and got to work on recovery and returns and all that fun stuff. a while later, laura calls me in the back and asks me if i moved the three features around that were mentioned in the update. i said no, that they were for the stores located in states that have a tax-free weekend this weekend. she says no, that there was an email about it, and that it should have been done yesterday. and then i get pissed.
  
  basically, i wasted a day yesterday. while graphic novels needed to be organized, it was a slower night -i was CLOSING even, which is ALWAYS slower than a mid shift- and it would have been a bit easier to change those damn features around with less customers asking me about things and less phone calls.
  
  the kicker about this? laura told me later on that the email had already been read before she got to it. which means one of the managers yesterday read it and didn't tell me about it -they got the email about an hour and a half before i got there, so they probably knew about it for quite a while before i got there! one of them i absolutely adore and trust would probably tell me about something like that... the other is the one who reassured me i was done, and really, i wouldn't put it past said person to not tell me about that. said person kept making a big point about how we didn't need to move them since we're in kansas... i get a feeling it was that one who read it and didn't tell me. feh.
  
  oh, get this. the hook that starts my truck has been shifting around to places where it's impossible to turn off/turn on lately... when i pulled in to the cingular parking lot, it wouldn't shut off. so i got out and was messing with it, and while there were 7543907432590754 spaces all around me, this little car comes in wanting the space my door was opened into. and they honked at me. so, i jumped in my truck... and broke EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN ONE OF MY CHAINS because they got caught in the door!!! ALL. OF. THEM. ARE. BROKEN. i can't get pliers to bend the links back. looks like i get to go to hot topic on this paycheck... 'cause i refuse to go without them now.
  
  feh. i'm choppy tonight. still irritated, and irate about the phone thing, but at least that'll be fixed next week. though i'm really pissed about my chains. i might have to go to hot topic before work for that.
