MOVING SALE: 11/02/2008

Yup. That's what the ad on Miami Herald's classifieds on-line says. November 02, 2008. Next frickin' year. So, you can imagine how freaked out I was considering this will be the last chance I have to unload the big stuff that I can live without for a week and won't be taking to Costa Rica. I sent an email to the Herald's classified site explaining my surprise at the moving sale's "new" date. I wrote that this was NOT the date I'd submitted, I didn't understand where they could have gotten this date and could they change it. The answer: NO. They won't change it, that date must be the one I submitted and if I want the date changed, cancel this ad and submit a new one. In other words: tough titty.

After digging around to find the phone number for the ad department, so I could speak to an actual human being, I finally spoke to someone and got some decent info. "Chuck" told me that I can run an ad in the paper Friday and Saturday if I call back in the morning and submit the ad before whatever-o-clock. I can't remember what time. I'm just wondering what they'll do to screw up that ad. Maybe list it in 'Job Opportunities'? Morons.

Right now I'm going through my own little 'perfect storm'. My best pal is in El Salvador for 5 days, so no one to moan to about every little thing. I'm temporarily hormonally insane, so everything is wigging me out and I've got a continual headache. My pool is turning ever-so-slightly green again. My computer won't let me upload photos for some reason, so I can't send photos of my terra cotta pots and my orchids to my boss who wants to buy them all, and on and on and on....

Please, oh please, just let me get to the airport and onto the plane and be able to settle in for the flight knowing that everything was finished and I can relax. Well, relax for the flight at least. :-p

14 days till take-off....
