Today has been a complete pile of crap. Just didn't give me a break. I started the day off bright and early with a customer from WinCustomize sending me 17 email over the weekend because I was ignoring the one from 1:34am on Sunday. Hmmmm....didn't know that I worked 24/7... And it was about nothing.
Then, one of our employees (who we regard as family) tells me that his fiance got a job out of state and they are leaving in 3 weeks......that *really* sucks. But, I hope all good happens to them because they are very nice people.
Then, I get home to read email from this moronic place that I applied for a consolidation loan from. (I hate writing checks, so I figured that one payment per month was better and I could deduct the interest at tax time...and, yes, this will have it's own article soon.) A few days ago, their "appraiser" called to ask a couple questions. Obviously, they used that to base the "appraisal" of our house along with something they claim was a "public" record (not sure whose it was, but it wasn't ours) that showed our house being about 600 sq ft smaller than it is, so there "appraisal" said that our house is worth $50,000 less than it is. Hell, even double SEV was more than what they claim the house is worth. I didn't have the energy, so I told her that her appraiser should come out here and measure the house and see how very wrong she is....
While I was sitting at my computer, I noticed my hamster out of the corner of my eye.
1) My hamster is usually not out of her house at this time
2) My hamster seemed very still
3) It became obvious that my hamster was dead.
Great...a dead hamster...which caused my 5 year old to cry her eyes out. Nice. Really needed that today....
I wonder if lightning will strike me in my sleep.......
