job equipment swap ordeal follow-up


so, in order for us to return the old laptops, pre-paid labels were supposed to be included in our respective packages to ship it all back via purolator.
this was the only plausible label found into mine:
cuz what do i know, right.
close to 1 week past dropping off my box at the purolator counter, figured the package had successfully reached its destination (albeit for whatever reason my online tracking number wasn't working). 'til i got a work e-mail saying they were still waiting for my sh*t to arrive. !!? quickly went back to bureau en gros to inquire. THANKFULLY they'd kept my box which was still sitting on one of their counters. phewwwww. ...turns out the reason behind my tracking number not working was that THE PROPER LABEL NEVER WAS INCLUDED IN MY PACKAGE TO BEGIN WITH. cuz god knows i just loooove the extra hassle. yes, yes.
back at the purolator counter on the 13th with the right f*cking pre-paid label. haven't heard from anyone since, so i guess i'm ok.
sheesh.

*thumbs up* & *seller smile*

off to montreal to clear my head


FRIDAY, JANUARY 26TH;
had an appointment @ paradise right before they closed to have my latest piercing (the one i got in st-jean) downsized + afterwards stopped to shop around @ alexis-nihon. look at them (!!!):
woot-woot from canadian tire.
(would later buy two at my home store, cuz why not.)
sponteanously picked the dagger as the new piece for my downsize:
...but am now thinking i should've stucked to the darn original idea: moving down the feather for its rounded shape. oh well. i'll just let it be for now cuz this piercing is way too new to mess around with. that'll come later. ha ha.

did anyone put a jinx on me?


'fo seriously serious. only 1 month through the new year and i already want OUT—or tear my hair out, at least. *shrug* ok, so. why does 2024 suck on so many levels...

...but mostly on the job forefront (!!!):
getting e-mailed that my laptop needs to be changed/upgraded. such an unexpected request i actually thought it might've been a phishing attempt at first. so i fill out some info for them about my current setup and wait for everything to be shipped home. couple days afterwards (aka last thursday), purolator NOT EVEN BOTHERS KNOCKING ON MY DOOR WHILE I WAS HOME and sticks an "attempted delivery" slip on my door. well, turns out that here in town they're actually located out of freakin' nowhere, basically requiring a lift to reach their facility. *facepalm* great. went to collect said package with the parents on tuesday.
not one but two new trainings to undergo last week. first one scheduled at 9am on a goddamn monday (cuz hey, why not&&!): attempting to stay up all night and only sleep after the training since i usually go to bed at 6am anyhow, but ended up having to nap for approx 1.5 hours cuz i got too tired. sleeping thereafter + feeling f*cked. ehhhh. yeah, sure. throw everything at once! just how i like it. then pretty much immediately getting my first claim to process from the monday training which took me hours to get started while simultaneously practising claims for the 2nd training. having to follow up with my trainers as my head goes $#@%#$?#&$%&*.
already received two so-called claim processing errors thus far, including the most ludicrous one last friday—can't even really fight this one since i've got no visual proof. still fuming.
did i ever mention it's also the year we're all losing our 5 wellness days off?
and nowwwwww. THE LATEST! turns out i won't be able to start working past 10am anymore, cuz it's the new law or something. i. want. to. bawl.
super fun times installing the new equipment:
afterwards screen layout issues:
*shakes head*

now, the rest:
last friday the metro stops (& waits & waits) one stupid station away from where i need to stop to go back to paradise for my piercing downsize. as i'm already running late. pffft, just marvelous. arrived past my appointment time and since they were closing at 7pm, it all felt a bit rushed and there was no time remaining to go ahead with the rook piercing which i'd been tempted to get lately. later that same evening: had an interraction/sort-of-altercation with the most asshole-ish bus driver ever coming back from montreal. won't go into details cuz i'm still frustrated as hell about it. but at least i did get a lovely apology from the bus department; "Bien que vous ne vouliez pas de suivi pour cette requΓͺte, nous tenons Γ  vous remercier d’avoir portΓ© cette situation Γ  notre attention. [...]"
related to my house this year: municipality taxes increase from our witch mayor + unavoidable incoming mortgage rise ahead by late may. ughhh.
dentist appointment incoming in march.
i miss 2023 sooo bad.
