So I had the day from hell today. Just one of those, no matter which way you turn the work piles up and not a single phone call has good news. Where the stress is so bad it honestly hurts. Your jaw, your shoulders, your back...
Then I go and pick up a SCREAMING child who does not want to go home with me. Grrr-F'ing-eat! I cracked. It was either cry right there at the daycare providers home, runaway never to pick A up again, or bribe her. I bribed. A's been asking for "schobby foo". We couldn't figure out what in the heck she was saying. I figured it out yesterday... "Schobby foo, schobby foo Where ARE you?" Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh.
So ya, I promised her some Scooby Doo. I stopped at Blockbuster and bought her a movie. It bought me 1 hour of pure silence.

Up to 4 lenders MY ASS. At last count, I've been contacted by 12, yes 12 different lenders (update - its 14 now). Do you have any idea how many phone calls per night that is?!?!?!?!?!?! Seriously. Way.too.many.
Of course in my infinite wisdom, I put the phone on Do Not Disturb. I thought I was oh, so smart. HA. I'll let you in on the punchline now, but when a person leaves a voicemail on my VOIP line instead of my actual answering machine, it makes the phone ring, just 1 annoying time.
I forgot about this.
Swearing, lots of it when my phone rang 1 annoying time, every 10 minutes. WTF?! All I can think is WHY IN THE HELL would they program a phone to ring 1 time every time someone calls when its on DND....AND WHY ARE THEY STILL CALLING?
DH was about ready to shot me with a bazooka and had me shut DND off, only the phone kept ringing 1 annoying time. It took me over an hour to figure it out. Not good times.
Add to the fact that blogger is F'ing with me and its been one hell of a day.

How do you put your phone on DND? I'd love to have that...I have VOIP, I'm going to have to look into this.
Bribery is a good thing, IMO.
On mine (I use GalaxyVoice) its *88 to enable and *89 to disable.
Oh, and GalaxyVoice rocks! I pay $2.65/month. Granted I only get 60 minutes of outgoing calls(after that its $.02/min), but since we have close to a bazillion cell minutes, we just use our cells for outgoing.
Now I just have to figure out how to get it to stop ringing if there's a vm.
I hate to laugh, but it is hard not to share in the joy of a day gone terribly wrong. I hope today pans out better for you!
