Monday - late morning/almost noon

I went to the courthouse for jury duty at 8:30 am. Walking up to the courthouse, I saw a lady standing there with a pile of papers in her hand.  She greeted me and asked if I were there for jury duty? Yes ma'am.  It's been cancelled.  I'll give them credit for standing outside and not having a lot of people going through the security check including metal detector and wasting a bunch of time. It probably lets them out of having to pay us the grand, huge total of $20 for showing up.

Well, off to IHOP. I did that last time as well. Got out of jury duty and had breakfast there.  

After that, I went to the property to use the tractor to fix the driveway. The box blade wasn't hooked up and several pins were missing.  I was going to go to Tractor supply to get some, but I decided to go into the shed to look for my missing title for the Tundra.  It was sitting on the floor of the shed, out in the open.  That wasn't there the last time I was in there and I wondered who was going through my personal stuff? I will be going through camera footage to find out.

Anyway, I blew off Tractor  Supply and went straight back to the courthouse - the local DMV for title and registration is also in that building. I wanted to make sure someone wasn't trying some shenanigans attempting to effectively steal my vehicle or do whatever, someone had clearly found my title and for whatever reason, left it lying in the middle of the floor. 

That took a minute, as they say in these parts when something takes quite a while to get done. But, I have Texas title coming in the mail, got current registration and got new plates for the truck. I can start driving it again! As soon as I figure out where to drill holes in the front of the bumper to stick a license plate on it...they don't have front plates in AZ and the vehicles don't come equipped with holes for screws.  

Ugh, I guess I'm going to have to go to Auto Zone or Walmart and get a new license plate holder. Gag.  

Meanwhile, after making 2 calls to T Mobile today and being treated rudely by them, one of them obnoxiously so, I am in a chat with some person who is continuing to blame UPS and that I need to deal with them.  

Uhh, no. That's not the way this works. YOU sent the package, the onus is on YOU to deal with this. I already waited 5 hours on Friday for a package that  never arrived during the allotted time frame or 2 hours after it. The package showed up 10 minutes after we left  the house.  I am NOT wasting another entire day waiting for this package! YOU call them right now and verify the time this package is going to be here!  That person didn't like that at all and continued to dismiss it to the point I am now getting transferred to a manager. 

I also have been researching how to contact any kind of escalation team or customer complaint center. Do you know that T Mobile does not have anyone in corporate you can actually talk to to file a complaint? I don't believe I have EVER heard of  this with any major corporation.  I finally found an address in New Mexico to snail mail a complaint to, LOL! I haven't given up yet, tho.  I will continue to search. The corporate offices are apparently in Bellevue, Washington and I'm looking for numbers to talk to anyone there. Haven't found any yet. Dunn and Bradstreet may have a number  but it's locked. I'm not paying to find that out. I'd rather just switch to another carrier before doing that. 

_____________

Many hours later.  The husband of the queen of the house showed up, I had no idea he was coming today until this evening..  Good to see him for sure, a missed fixture in the house, the youngest kid needs him around a lot more.  Some serious things happened today with that kid, very unsettling. Nothing I will go into here, but the psychologist has a lot to dig into in this person. Yes, he is seeing an actual psychologist, not a therapist or other related but lessor title of person who hasn't done the same amount of schooling as a certified psychologist.

Trust me, that kids needs it.

My phone - finally arrived today at around 7 pm.  Ridiculous nonsense.  I decided just a little while ago to go ahead and start the setup process. I was going to have them do it at the corporate store, but why? The only problem is, is that it's getting late and I had forgotten how long it takes to set up a new iphone and transfer the data from the old one.  I am trading that one in.  

But Iphone made a seriously nice upgrade on their phones, something I didn't know until just a few minutes ago. They got rid of that ridiculous charging cord with the thin end that goes into the phone.  Those things break easily, stop working and are garbage. Expensive garbage.  Now it's the USB-C cord, the type you find on tablets. So much better, something they should have done years ago.  

I'm getting so tired lol. I want this to be over with so I can go to bed. No work tomorrow. The manager has Covid and has been out for what, a couple weeks now?  So this lady is doing the dispatching. She tries, but it's not her area of expertise. I"ll have second load on Wednesday.  

Anyway, I'm getting offa here.
