...Cheerful Messages, Dispair In The Wake Of A Subway Closure, Taste.

So it's my partner's birthday next Tuesday. Technically I suppose he is my boyfriend but that word doesn't seem to convey a three-year live-in relationship. 'Partner' isn't right either really since I tend to think it implies a business associate or lesbian companion, neither of which I have, sadly. I suppose I could classify him under 'significant other'. He is the reason I got into metal.

Anyway it's his birthday and since he needs a new mobile phone my parents said they'd get one for him. So I ordered a phone for £59.99 from the O2 website and then when it comes they'll pay me back. Simple enough, yes? NO! Although there has been no delivery to this house, DHL say they did deliver it and now there has to be an investigation. Bah I am so annoyed I know they'll just day that since it was delivered it was my responsibility and they'll keep my money the grubby-handed thieves. Plus I have to find the money elsewhere for another phone for Tuesday. My GOD! It's making me so angry I have been growling all day. Grrrrr!

Part of me wants to keep fighting and even threaten court action but the other part of me just can't be bothered. There is 60 pounds in the balance though and that's a fair bit of money to give up on. But I am just so annoyed! I am waiting for someone from O2 to call me back but it's yet to have happened. I know it's going to be such a hassle. I wish the bloody phone had just got here.

Hrm anyway writing this has only increased my ire, and all has not been bad today. I was cheered by a nice message about me deposited in the Holiday Roll Call in the UK Discussion forum by BZSIN. It was a message that indeed warmed my very cockles as he said I was 'near-perfect' - flattering yet very far from the truth - and then went on to question whether I was really a man. Oh well only on the internet I guess! I shall tell everyone now that I am a genuine girl, but I'm not going to post pics because I don't wish to spoil the 'perfect girl' illusion ;) Well it was a very nice message none the less and so to you BZSIN I send one hug:

Now I must be off because all that sandwich talk has got me in the mood for a Subway and I'd better drag my arse round there soon before it closes and I am left with horrible Subway withdrawal plans all night thus ruining my first eviction experience of Big Brother 2008 (yes I am a Big Brother fan but this and other issues will be debated in the next blog which will try to explain my taste deficiency). But until then ~ The Librarian
