craptastic

• Today has been one craptastic day, lemme tell ya. Went to bed at like 10am on Tuesday, and got up at 1:30pm. I had to take my older sister Michelle to Kaiser Hospital in Oakland since she had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics she was given for a skin infection. It didn't look pretty. Well it took like 3 freakin hours there at the hospital. She had to go see a surgeon to look at her face, see if she needed a procedure done. Meanwhile I was running late for work in San Fran, and Michelle had the parking pass thing. I was actually going to leave, and Cathy was planning on coming to the hospital, to pick Michelle up. Well since I needed the parking thingy, I attempted to find Michelle, who didn't have her damn phone on. Inside the hospital itself all of the information desks were unmanned except for one in the main lobby, run by complete idiots. I asked them to page my sister, they asked how to pronounce our last name 3 times. Okay we're Polish, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Instead of paging, the lady goes out to the lobby and yells her name. What the hell? Yeah she'll hear that throughout the hospital. Sure. I finally got a hold of Michelle about 3 hours after we had arrived, and we headed home. But traffic sucked. Then I dropped her off, and sped off to my place to change clothes (I had been wearing the same crap for like 24 hours) and grab food for work. I ended up coming to work 20 minutes late. Don't worry I called the afternoon jock and he was cool about it. Still sucked. Oh yes on the way to San Fran I realized an ink pen was leaking in my purse, and the zipper on my backpack broke.
  
• Oh yeah, and my phone is still retarded. It froze 4 times today, randomly. I missed A LOT of phone calls. My warranty expired back in July and I have insurance on the phone but I'd still have to pay $100 to replace it. I ended up buying a Blackberry 8700G, which was about $100 after the rebate. I know the new Sidekick LX is out, but I needed something cheaper but still functional. I think all PDAs and handhelds have issues of one kind or another. But I'd rather risk it with a Blackberry, I just do a lot of texting and like to check my email/myspace a lot. And my phone won't freeze randomly, hopefully.
  
• On a good note, I did hit the gym on Tuesday morning. I would go today but I'm exhausted. And the cable/internet guy is coming this morning too, thank god.
