Of ineptitude and crappy tools.

whitereflectionJust spent hours (ie. since I got home from work, with only a break for dinner) trying to hang my monstrosity of a spice rack on a kitchen wall. Only to have the one drill bit that will work for the project break, with more yet to drill. Goddamn it. *sighs, thunks head on monitor* (Yes, hours. I am truly that incompetent and slow at that sort of thing.)
But I finally got James to do the taxes he's been promising to do for the past two months. By buying the TurboTax software, and making it very obvious I'd done so that *I* could go ahead and do them. Amazing how quickly he got going, then.
However, now that he's done the federal ones, it seems our refund will be a huge chunk less than last year. ...I was counting on getting more than that back. Counting on it. What an idiot I can be.
But I have now successfully acquired plane tickets down to Dallas for Akon (Kea, arriving on the morning of the Wednesday the 28th is ok, right? I seem to recall this is so... And I have us flying back the following Sunday afternoon.).
Aaron--Found out today, it's definitely just me at AX. Which works out just fine, IMO. Did you get the room yet? Is it going to be the WCA? What days are you reserving for? (So I know when to fly in and fly out.) If you've got the room for sure, I'll go ahead and grab my con registration.
Ngah. Will stop talking/posting odd crap now. Will go read more of the comics Mom sent me from the Seattle paper. Maybe that will keep me from getting angry again--I've been getting extremely angry at just everything today. Just...everything. And maybe sitting doing nothing will get whatever triggered my allergies to start kicking my ass and hard, to calm the hell down. Crap, when did I get so tired?
Apologies to those I owe email/commentary to. Will get to that soon, I promise.
