Place: Burger King (at the office)
Lunch: Whopper (no lettuce, no tomato), Chicken Fries, water
Today has been nothing short of a living obstacle course.
First, I get to work and my laptop won't open a program. Turns out it's gone missing. IT Guy takes a look and is baffled. "The program folder is just...empty." A half hour later and it's sort of reinstalled and I can sort of launch it if I do this one juryrig. "Is that okay?" IT Guy asks. "Yeah."
Then I go to lunch. Or try to. There's a semi with a "WIDE LOAD" sign blocking the entrance. I drive down the complex to an alternate entrance. Some woman is blocking that entrance in her car. She's just sitting there, doing nothing but blocking my way out. I honk the horn. She looks at me. I make "get out of the way you worthless idiot" hand gestures. She finally does.
I go to the Burger King drive-thru. "Whopper, no lettuce, no tomato, and chicken fries with ranch."
Speaker Girl: "Do you want any sauce for the chicken fries?"
I hit the bank ATM. Somebody is already there doing so many transactions that they've put their van in park and shut off the motor. Good grief.
After finally getting access to the ATM, I head back to the office. I pull lunch out of the bag. Guess what? No ranch.
My shiny blingy new phone arrives. I go to set it up. This turns into a ridiculously long process, the highlight of which is when I plug it into my computer to resture the backup of my old phone and the machine pops up an error that reads "This phone is not authorized to be used on this computer."
WHAT???
Some online research suggests I install the latest OS update to my computer. Twenty minutes of downloading later, it starts to update. Then it reboots. Then it updates some more. Then it reboots. Then it updates some more. Then it makes this really long beep noise and goes dead. And I just stare.
Then it revives.
Then it says "Computing the installation. About 43 minutes remaining."
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME.
So basically I'm writing this post on my work computer as a way to kill time (and vent) while the damn thing finishes updating.
About 14 minutes remaining.
I can't wait to see how long the restoral takes.
