There are many things that just suck.

Many of those things seem to happen within the walls of my home.

Let’s start with the part where my Financial Advisor at school made a HUGE fuck up and that cost me a PELL grant.  Yeah–I might not be able to get this grant anymore since she didn’t do her damn job.  I am still keeping my fingers crossed and that slight glimmer of hope is still a twinkle in my eye that this will be resolved.

Oh and then there is the part that sucks that my Financial Advisor is not so great on returning phone calls or emails—basically she just lacks communication skills.  I’ve been trying to get in touch with her for 2 weeks to figure things out and find out where everything stands, but of course no one ever taught her how to communicate.

Next thing that sucks.  I AM NOT going to Florida this weekend for Izeafest.  Yep. Sucks. I know.  Since the Hardworking Hubby got sick and had to miss work (without pay) expenses for the kids and their activities, along with minor things like I dunno….feeding my family and keeping a roof over our head and that part where my Financial Advisor (yeah, I’m not going to let that slide anytime soon!) fucked up, we just don’t have the funds for the plane ticket and spending cash.  The only part I could afford was the hotel.  So, needless to say, I will not be in beautiful Orlando FL this weekend and am totally bummed that I can’t attend Izeafest and meet A LOT of awesome people!!!

More things that suck.

The E.A.R.L. is STILL hanging out around the outside of our home.

Now they want to scrape and paint our deck.

IRRITATING!

I had to empty Tatertot’s sandbox and remove all his toys from the deck.  (Of course, I didn’t get to finish doing any of this since it decided to rain everyday so far this week.  Kinda hard to remove items, sweep up the leaves and hose down the deck when its raining and not to mention FREEZINGASSCOLDOUT!

Yeah—remember the part where we live in Wisconsin and the weather can change seasons in the blink on an eye.

Moving on.

Another thing this week that can just suck it is our XBOX360.

Here’s the scoop.

Santa Claus purchased the XBOX360 in December of 2006 because it was the only thing ZMAN asked for the ENTIRE year.

After he received the gift, we continued to invest money on games, controllers……Guitar Hero (with 2 guitars).

Yep.  After all is said and done, we have invested about $700-$1000 into the XBOX360 over the last (almost) 3 years.

Enter the RED RING OF DEATH in early 2008 (if memory serves me correctly).

Microsoft made it very easy for us to get that repaired and we had our XBOX360 back in working condition about 3 weeks later.

Then in March of this year, we wanted to watch a movie on the XBOX360 and low and behold it started shooting out ERROR messages at us.

Lovely.

I attempted numerous times to submit a repair request online but could not do so without the help of Microsoft.

Fast forward to the present day (after reminding, nagging and yelling at Hardworking Hubby to call Microsoft to get things resolved).

I gave in.

I had enough.

Here we have almost $1000 tied into this systems and there it sits on a shelf not doing anything.

Just sitting.

I CALLED MICROSOFT.

I GOT THEM TO FIX THINGS IN OUR ACCOUNT.

I SUBMITTED A REPAIR REQUEST ONLINE.

I WILL BE THE ONE TO SHIP THE XBOX360 FOR REPAIR.

YES.

I DID ALL OF THIS.

Then what does my XBOX360 do after sitting on the phone with some CSR who is outsourced from India for almost 20 minutes?

It decides it’s going to work.

Ahhh…..but that didn’t last long.

Hardworking Hubby got flashing red lights when he tried to use it this morning.

It’s going back to Microsoft and nobody is touching it until then.

I watched a movie last night that sucked.

I was bored and I had just finished watching HSM 3.

Yes.

You read that right.

I watched High School Musical 3 last night and I liked it!

Any-who.  Back to the movie that sucked.

Wedding Daze.

Don’t watch it.

It sucked.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Be sure to watch for other random things that suck in the life of Anne for the rest of the week or should we say, remainder of my life?
