No luck like bad luck... Part 2

No luck like bad luck... Part 2


By the time I got home I was very hungry. I decide to cook up this very expensive chicken and make a chicken burger out of a piece of it. I put the rest in the oven to bake. I make my chicken burger and sit down to eat it. I am going to really enjoy this food. I picked up a book and started reading. Two hours later the damn light bulb goes off and I remember the chicken in the oven. You guessed it, it is over cooked. I really don’t care I am going to eat it. I put it in the fridge and wonder if the sauce from the chicken pot pie will soften the crusty parts any. I went back to my book.

Monday:

So that means a trip to city center, I decide to park in the mall lot down the street and walk up to Motor Vehicle. I walk in to MV and am hit by a wall of people, OMG this place is packed today. I go up to the counter and tell he clerk why I am there. She asks for my proof of Insurance. I sink. I forgot it in the car. I can call my insurance company and have a copy faxed in. That will work; save me walking all the way back to my car. I called and sure no problem, I will fax that right away. I stand there and wait. And wait, and wait some more. Fifteen minutes later it still has not come in so I call the insurance company again. Yes it shows it was received from this end. So I wait some more. Ten minutes later I call the insurance company back and ask to have it resent. I give the number to send it to again and what would you know… this is not the same number she sent the last one to. So somewhere out there is a copy of my proof of insurance. Finally my proof of insurance comes by fax, I get my number and go to sit in the mob of people and wait. And wait, and wait some more.

I am checking my clock, I have to be to work in two hours and I am a long way down the list of numbers. Will I have time? I start chatting with the lady beside me, she is next after me, and the guy on the other side is after her. We are joking and laughing about how slow it is. And bing bing bing… a huge jump in the numbers. I might make it to work after all. They call my number; well it appears on the screen with the window number I am to go to. Whoohooo, I go up to the window and sign here, and here, and pay this. Ok go have your picture taken for the driver’s license and you are done. Over to the photo booth I go and she takes the picture. It will only be a minute. Good I am thinking I have to go to work. So I am standing there waiting for my driver’s license. And I wait, ten minutes later, I am still waiting. The clerk says there is a glitch in the printer. It should only be a minute. I just smile and nod my head. Another ten minutes, I wait…. My name is called and I have a new driver’s license.

I walk back to my car, timing the walk, and figure I could have walked back to the car and retrieved my insurance card in a third of the time I waited. DUH!!!

I arrive at work to find only part of our systems operational. Oh joy, I think; the hits just keep on coming!! I am thinking at this point this would have been a good day to stay in bed and sleep the day away. However, I will work through this system outage as I always do. It does happen often lately. I think because we are in the process of switching over to a new system and they are not fully compatible.

Finally the work day is over and I can go home. I get home and decide to make another chicken sandwich from this crispy chicken. Add cheese to soften the crispy parts. I take a bit and crunch. FFS, broke a piece off my tooth. I have had it with this chicken, in the garbage it goes. Now I need to see the dentist.

Moral of the story: Do not allow your driver’s license and registration run out. You end up paying way more in the end!!!

PS, now all I need is my safety inspection done and I will be fully legal again...

Thanks for stopping by, I have these times on occasion when nothing seems to go as planned. Usually it does not cost me as much as this one did though. LOL!!
