79pounds's Journal

well the bad luck of august that happens EVERY year my whole life, has already begun in earnest.  the circuit board that was hit with lightening up north and disconnected phones and computers, also screwed up the faxes, so the fax i thought i sent up to my office which is a transactional journal may not have made it there (we can be fired if they don't have it because its part of compliance with the state) i am going to resend it without knowing at all because the girl who handles this is on vacation this week and to know for certain i'd have to wait for her to return on the 10th and i am afraid to wait.  this is also a problem as i am waiting for a loan to fund.  and the "more bad luck" with that is they left a list of additional conditions to FUND which i haven't seen before with loans.  they claim there are two descrepancies in the hud, one figure is off by $2.00 and the other figure is off by $40.00 since all of this is done on a computer program it is very odd and they are blaming the title company (so why didn't they catch it?  all of that is sent back and forth beforehand.  processing also catches that stuff or should, except the processor who normally does that was in labor having a baby during the closing of this loan.  i've kind of had it with loans lately, except i don't want to give up the lifestyle, as in choosing my own hours - but is it worth the stress?)  the weird thing with this too is the processor who did the loan because natasha was in the hospital didn't even know the broker fee is figured according to the appraised value, not the loan amount, so if its the computer that is calculating how is that happening?  if i didn't have experience doing them i'd have ended up giving away a few hundred dollars on this.   then i discoverd the reinspection fee wasn't on there either, so title company is holding back a hundred and has the invoice on it, have no idea how all this crap is happening.  this is why its nice to have a good manager (IF you have a good manager, because they handle all of this, and me, i simply hate the aggravation.  its not "fun" anymore, its a drag.  that's what they mean by people getting worn down from the various craps in life.  its like enough.  its another reason watching sopranos used to be fun, if the person created too much chaos they simply gunned them down.  lol.)

then today i discovered my microsoft word is not in this computer.  microsoft office works is and microsoft office works is a free program, microsoft word is a program that is bought and i've had it about 8 years, it has stuff in it that the other one doesn't.  don't know if i'd need it or not, but it still costs money.  i want to have the recycle looked at to see if its in there or if the guy that sold me the computer took it?  i didn't even notice at first and then when i went to use it, plus i had things in the microsoft word which should have been transported into this computer and that means he didn't do that either.  its pissing me off, because he also took out my norton antivirus and installed this pc thing for viruses and it sucks. all he was supposed to do is transfer the data from one computer to the other.  i also noticed in the beginning he even had my calyx system in the recycle bin.  i guess i should be careful if i write on a computer because its so easy for a tech to just take it out but make it appear like it is there.  i remember looking at him like he was nuts when it was gone, and you get that really bad feeling about you like he didn't really do what he was supposed to and did something else instead, well he definitely did something else instead.  like does the stuff from microsoft word transfer into the microsoft works.  i am hoping he just plain wasn't thinking instead of being underhanded?  but i said it to k and he says that microsoft word is worth more, he may have transferred it to his own computer for his own use, or just wasn't paying attention and its gone now.  i probably need to buy one of those "external hard drives" just to protect myself.

well, it looks like its going to be another hot day and then it seems to pour in the afternoon.  yesterday i brought michele in and then it didn't actually rain anyway even though we had warnings of it.  the bug guy is supposed to come today but i didn't use him last month because we discovered there's more not less bugs when he is here and when i used maxforce.com which is a gel it seemed to do the trick.  we went through the same crap when we had terminix and then i switched to maxforce.com over there too and the maxforce gel was doing the job and terminix didn't.  i need to go fax out the transaction journal again and add a waiting to fund to it, because banks aren't funding lately or at least not on time.  then i need to straighten out the safe deposit box and other urgent bills, and then go on line on a faster computer and see what the hell is going on with my credit cards!!  then i wanted to have my car fixed and detailed but i need to empty it out first for that.  so lets see what gets done.  it looks like its going to be a 100 percent work and running around day.  i have an adoption scheduled, but i didn't go near that yet.  and i have call backs on that as well.
