Ok I had the worst bad luck today that really grinded my gears until about 30 mins ago(12:53am est atm btw).
First I leave my apartment to go to work and my electricity goes out, I knew I was ok on my bill and so I called BGE to be sure :/
1st rep says I didnt have a balance, 2nd rep says I owe just a bit but wasnt in any stage for power being cut off, after work I get home and no electricity so I call a 3rd rep and she says my rental office said to turn it off.....So they put it as error and reopened my account but still no electricity. So I have to wait til tomorrow between 8-4pm to get it back on...
Work was normal as always and went to lunch with a bunch of co-workers. We ate at this Chinese Buffet that have big buddah statues and lions in the front, and everyone seems to rub buddah's belly for luck....Well that's when my luck got worse because not paying attention I DIDN"T rub his belly! ugh...
So now I gotta figure out what to do, so I decide oh well I'll just get a hotel room and relax since I feel like crap as it is. So I bring my laptop and my xbox with me so while I lay down I can still play ffxi...
Well get a room, the key doesnt work so I had to drag all my stuff back down with my chihuahua and have the front desk fix it. I get it fixed and thinking ok, im good to go now.....So I get ready to relax until I went to try and hook up the xbox... The hotel doesn't have tv's with the audio/video sockets to hook up the xbox, so I call the front desk and they said they dont have tv's with that. So I ask for my money back cause I was not gonna sit in the room staring at the wall. So I go to another hotel across and they dont take pets, so they send me to another.
I get there and had the front desk check if they had tvs with it, yes they did and took pets, and wireless....
So I get in the room, little peeved cause I had got some nachos from taco bell and they got cold and nasty in the process of getting a room...sigh
So I went to heat up a crunchwrap instead and not paying attention I burn the damn crunchwrap....and the smoke detector goes off and front desk is calling asking if everything is ok...
So I get that taken care of and say finally I'll just freakin play the game....well the wireless internet here wouldnt work for my xbox cause you had to go on internet explorer and put in a password...so at this point I wanna pull my hair out...
So I ask front desk about it and they said that's all they have, so I go back to research online of how to get internet on my xbox...First I find I can use a flash card and put the setting on the xbox and should work...well it didnt.
2nd thing I found was to use my cell phone as a modem but I had to hook it up to my laptop somehow to get the connection to the xbox...so I leave to go to the store to get a Ethernet cable...Come back and I can't get it to work!!!
I forgot I dropped the room key on the floor while putting the bag down and my dog chewed up the room key so I had to get another one, i go to my car and come back and my key doesnt work to get in the hotel or my room...
They give a new key and all I can think of is "What can get any worse throughout the night..."
So I start playing around with my laptop and the internet to get my xbox to work... had got it half way to work but wasnt connecting.
So I took a last try on something I wish I had tried before and BAM my xbox works!!!!
So now I log on the xbox and.....I forgot I hadn't updated the POL or the game :/
So now I'm sitting in the hotel on the laptop while I download all the updates for 1+ hours.
So its 1:15am and so far nothing of bad luck has happened yet. :/
So that all grinded my gears
lol sorry for the rant :)
