Everything But The...

The theme for this week is "you've got to be kidding me..."

I don't even have time to go into the details of everything that has happened. Here's the Reader's Digest version:

Refinance THIS!
I HATE Chase Home Finance. My former employer has found the perfect way to screw me over one last time. One coding error by a peon of a mortgage lender up in Cleveland has resulted in me being stuck with a higher rate. The kicker is, they didn't even bother to tell me - I only found out when I looked at my mortgage documents at the closing. I think they were hoping I wouldn't notice. Then, when I confronted them about it, they claimed they didn't have the authority to fix the rates. Incompetent bastards.

The Doctor Will Be Right With You (After the Resident and a 2 Hour Wait)
I have been to 6 doctor's appointments in the past month. No, there's nothing seriously wrong with me (except for the fact that I have an HMO plan). I'm just trying to use up all of my benefits before I lose them. After today, I will have to stay far away from sick people and risky activities for the next 6 months. Don't ask. Just remember that if you see me limping around.

Speaking of doctors though, I love my dentist. He's got one of those classic soothing doctor voices - the same voice that coincidentally psychos always have in horror movies.

Oh, and is it weird if your doctor recommends that you get a boyfriend?

China or Bust
So I finally willed this trip to China into existence after sacrificing all of my vacation, working around my brother's schedule, and putting myself at serious risk of killing my career at ExprєssJet before it even reaches infancy. Turns out, half the people I'm visiting will be in the States while I'm over there. Kind of defeats the purpose, but I am determined to go through with it... even if it is just to see how cruel fate can be. I may come back in two weeks and find someone else sitting at my desk... a well-spoken, charismatic former frat president, honors society officer, and university "Man of the Year" with years of airline experience. You think I'm joking, but this guy exists, and he's coming in for a formal interview while I'm on the other side of the world.

Anyways, now I'm not quite sure what the reason is for my trip - I can't tell if I'm still chasing a goal or just eager to run away at this point.

Things always work out the way they're supposed to...
It's the journey, not the destination that matters...
And patience is still a virtue, right?

As long as I am focused on becoming a better person, I will have no regrets. At least I keep telling myself that.
