Ah, my blog, the place where I can expound more than 140 characters!
I haven’t been sleeping enough lately. Last night I stayed up late working on my (other) blog and writing up a contract proposal. So today, I fueled myself with significant amounts of Coca Cola and Dr. Pepper. I felt pretty good until 3:30 PM and then I more or less glazed over while staring at my computer and typing fast during the brief flashes of time where I remembered what I was supposed to be doing.
By the time 5:10 rolled around and I climbed aboard the bus, I was sleepy. I powered on my iPod and fell asleep to The Weakerthans.
I got home, checked the mail, and thought all was good. I had a letter waiting from a company that I recently sent an application and resume. I got inside and also had a package from Amazon I’d been waiting a week for.
I opened the letter, read it, and found out I’d been denied in deference to other more qualified/appropriate candidates.
Then I opened the package from Amazon. The book was fine, but the Cowboy Bebop – The Movie DVD sounded bad before even opening the case. I could hear the DVD sliding around in the case before I even opened it. Once I opened it, I saw the case was broken and didn’t properly hold the DVD in place. It was scratched badly and had a small crack as well.
This is where I’m glad Amazon has a good return policy, but that’s not enough to save my day. I’m pissed.
Thanks for reading.
