well, for the first time that i can think of, i had a legitimately awful day at work. It all started when i got in to find out that fleet, for the second month in a row, fucked up a $400,000 and 1000 item transfer of ours. it's all their fault, it really sucks. situation goes like this: every month we run a file that a.) takes money from condo owners b.) puts it into a holding account c.) disperses it to the condo accounts.

they changed their system last month, without ever telling me. when it fucked up last month i called and they were like "well, why didn't you change the file like we told you to?" they did, in a meeting suggest that "sometime down the road" we think about changing the file, but that was the end of it. so then they try to make me feel like a loser, while meanwhile being utterly useless in fixing the problem.

so after last month, i called up and said "look, i just inherited this system, i won't pretend to know how the file is generated or what the fields mean. just look at what we send you and tell me exactly what i need to change."

and they did and i did. then it fucked up again this month. it was almost disastrous, for a while i thought it a.) took money from condo owners b.) put it in our holding account c.) took money from condo owners again.

now imagine that scenario, you're some condo owner who signed a card that says "sure, take $1000 from my account every month" and then we take $2000. Now multiply that by 1000.

turns out it wasn't so bad, it just happened that instead of dispersing the money to the condo accounts, it took the money FROM the accounts into our holding account which now has twice as much as it should, and a lot of our accounts are overdrawn.

anyway, i call up vehement, "well why didn't you make this change?" "because you never fucking told me to."

so anyway, that was about the entirity of my day, dealing with inneffective people who kept throwing the blame on me, thus putting me on the defensive, but i couldn't lash out so instead i'm just sitting there feeling defensive without being able to act on it and it's carrying over to the rest of my work so no matter what happened during the day i was ready to start screaming at anybody so that i could unecessarily defend myself thus causing extreme unhappiness and a possible ulcer plus i had other things on my mind and i just got the hell out of there at 5:30 then my ipod didn't work then i got home and lied down for an hour.

so that was that. i cannot WAIT for poker tomorrow night. i need to just sit around and have fun. and drink and smoke and win a zillion dollars while making jokes and laughing and stuff.

watched some tv and ordered moogies.

OH WAIT

saw the best commercial ever. it came on, and katie and adam were talking about it, but i had never seen it. and somehow i got the vibe that it was going to be funny. a young woman looking at a pregnancy test all serious, her husband standing outside, also serious. then on the screen: "this couple just became." then the next line comes up a little later "the town's youngest grandparents" and the woman moves away and reveals a young girl and something about marijuana being bad for you and jesus, it's not supposed to be funny, but i exploded in laughter. seriously the best commercial in the known universe.

ok goodnight.
