urbanamazonToday was just... not a good day.
1. Woke up this morning to a letter from the Alberta Registry office. Apparently, my 1999 Camry had been, in the past, registered as salvage; it had been in an accident, and not since repaired. Apparently, I'm not supposed to be driving it, and the registration that we've already obtained should not have gone through.
Gee. The dealer, the title, the Carfax report, the out-of-country inspection, the out-of-province inspection, the subsequent checkups by the dealership, the recall report by Toyota... those were all inaccurate? What the living HELL, man? We've had the car for fucking three months, and have already had to shell out thousands of bucks in getting it here. Not to mention I had to put down my entire paycheque and more just for its last tune-up-cum-disaster.
Ended up having to go through most of our paperwork with the registry guy over the phone, then drive into town to fax additional information to him. No word back yet. Sigh.
2. I had to turn down a job offer from the college today. I can't believe that. Five fucking months of applications, and I finally get a phone call just to have to turn it down because it conflicts with the one English course I HAVE to take. I can't take a different course, because none are offered this semester, and I can't take it at a different time. The job won't budge on the hours I'd have to work, because it's a project position, only for six months. Fuuu~uuuck.
3. My one bit of shine turned out to be picking up my eMac's Airport Extreme card from the post office. Too bad it refused to work. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support, took it out, put it back in, and followed the instructions of reinstalling the OS software again, only to be passed on to their wireless department and hear that it might be a problem with the card. And now I have to take that thing into London Drugs, possibly send it back to the seller.
4. And now my iTunes is refusing to open, saying that it's either disabled or not installed. Only iTunes, nothing else. And the Apple support line is closed for the night.
Fuck this, I'm tossing in TMNT.
