It's Just Irritating

 Since Monday, I have been putting off doing things. Didn't get the lawn mowed - put that off for now. The Oldest Son showed up Monday as planned, to go change over the title on the car, etc. Turns out that there is an abandonment claim now on the title. I now have to call the MVD Abandoned Vehicle department to figure out what needs to be done to get it removed. My guess is, when the car was found, it was in a parking lot, then towed by private to some salvage lot. There, they put in a claim based on the VIN that it was abandoned. Which would explain why the police never called my Son... they had no idea it was recovered. The Insurance found the car, I'm guessing by the VIN, and then took the car to the repair facility, where I drove it home from. It is physically in my driveway - how can it be abandoned?!? So that phone call I have been putting off for a couple days... mostly because I get so angry about the whole situation.

I've also been putting off doing the taxes this year. I finally talked the Wife into letting me do them this year, electronically, with one of the programs out there. For many years, she would always wait til the last minute, then figure out by hand the medical costs, etc, and fill the forms by hand, beating the midnight mailed deadline by minutes some years. I need to get that done... otherwise, I am just as bad as her procrastinating to the last minute. I know we don't owe, but still....

Still haven't heard from the Company. Another put off ....

I haven't been able to sleep at all tonight. No idea why. I took some over the counter sleep aid pills but haven't felt sleepy at all. No since trying to bed down now, as I try to get up in the next 2-3 hours as a rule anyways. Putting off another night of sleep....

Maybe something better tomorrow - or later today, rather....

Little Things That Irritate

The time had finally arrived to purchase the Youngest Son his first cell phone. With students actually returning to the physical classroom, plus all the extra-curricular groups being active again, he really needed a way to reach out to us for pick-up times, etc. That way, if they are late getting back from an event, he can call so we are not just sitting in the school parking lot for who knows how long. So we removed a tablet from our service plan - or rather, changed that slot into a phone, and purchased a phone for him. The Middle Son decided to upgrade his phone at the time as well, so they got ordered together.

I don't understand the practices of some companies. FedEx for example. They were the delivery company for the phones, and according to Verizon (our current provider) the phones should have arrived yesterday. But for some reason, FedEx sent the phones, from the pick-up in California, and sent them to their main facility in Tennessee, then back out to Arizona. So the package didn't arrive "on time" it was a day late. 

That was a bit irritating, considering that the Wife was told that someone would have to be here to sign for the package (which she didn't sign anything when they finally got here). But that is FedEx.

The boys got together this afternoon and were setting up the new phones, giving contacts to the Younger, etc. After an hour or so, they come to me... seems Verizon did not include a charger with either phone, only a USB-C to USB-C cord... no charger. WTF? Irritating!! Luckily we have chargers that will work for them, and not have to order and wait extra days to arrive (thanks FedEx).

Well, I guess that is enough ranting for now.
