Half Day Doesn't Mean More Done

[crossover_chick]

I mean, I got a respectable amount done at work -- credit card reruns and rejects, a direct debit, catching up on maintenance, stuff like that. After work, though, I was full of plans for unpacking my room and getting my address changed everywhere and everything.

And then we ran into problems with Cox.

Okay, to be fair, I did either get my address changed on pretty much every site that needed it, and talked to Fiscal at work so they can change my paystubs and get my health insurance updated. But then Mom told me I needed to log into my new Cox account (all the utilities and stuff here are in my name, because, well, legally my house) and gave me all the information to do so --

And my password doesn't work.

Cue me and Mom trying to reach someone to ask what's going on (we've already had a problem with Mom trying to log into my account on her computer, only for it to take her directly to her and Dad's old account) and being stymied at every turn by automated phone menus and chat-room waiting times. I wanted to just reset my password, but Mom was insistent we not have to do that. We eventually gave up on it -- we'll probably try again tomorrow. *squeezes bridge of nose* So many problems with this damn company. . .but they've got a monopoly around here, and apparently the only other choice, Verizon, is about the same or worse. . .

Anyway, that threw off my day a bit. I did manage to clear out one box, and get a few things sorted out of the others -- mainly, old story journals. And school journals, I discovered -- I ended up tossing those. (Though I kept a couple of old Creative Writing stories.) I also got my financial papers safely tucked away, so that's good. And spent a lot of time putting some old BTTF II trading cards into plastic sheets. What can I say, it was kind of calming to sort through them. Tomorrow I'll see about at least getting my toys into safe places so I don't have boxes everywhere while I'm waiting for this bookcase headboard of mine to appear. I also wrote some more on my self-indulgent fic snippets (some Alicey stuff this time), and did some more couples for that ship meme on my main tumblr. A Doc/Clara and Chelley double feature, and Good old Artie and Trixie from the Telltale BTTF Game. Good times, good times. . .

I'm not at all caught up on tumblr, though, and I haven't watched anything on YouTube. (Listened to a lot of music while getting my journals organized, but no watching.) So I'm going to attempt to tackle those two things before hitting the sack. (Don't think I'm going to get to queuing anything on Valice Multiverse. Just -- not in the mood. And rather tired to boot.) At least that yard sale I was assuming I'd have to get up early for isn't happening until NEXT weekend now. I shall relish the chance to actually sleep in for a couple of days.

Right -- getting on tumblr. At least it hasn't been super-busy today. . .night all!

My "Watch Later" list on a YouTube has 511 videos on it. Since I'm no longer allowed to have my headphones on at work I can't listen to them to catch up, and people just keep posting so I just keep adding. Verizon FiOS has a YouTube channel in their lineup so I've began watching that while doing stuff in the kitchen. I've also started working out again, so I can catch up a little at a time.

. . .That does put my problems into perspective, yes. I simply get stuck with long sets from my favorite LPers sometimes, plus I've been meaning to start watching "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," which has roughly hour-long episodes, so. . . Still, yeeps. Good luck in clearing out the backlog!

I had YouTube going instead of Pandora on my way up to and home from the barn (sound piped through the Jeep's speakers and phone positioned so I and the authorities couldn't see the screen) so that knocked off a wolloping two, lol.

Heh, well, it's something! I spent a good chunk of my afternoon (and the half-hour before going to bed last night) catching up on Helloween's STALKER and Nier sets.
