Pain

I've gotten back from my two week trip to a world of pain.

First, Netscape has decided that it sucks balls, and has eaten all my work email. I've been wrestling with it for about five hours now, and I have about six copies of all my emails, all my filters are broken, and I have several undeletable folders. I also tried Evolution, which decided that every folder in my home directory was email. That was nice. Now I'm trying mozilla, which is looking promising.

You'd think I'd get home to relax with a bottle of beer and some good TV... except over my trip, my fucking Tivo broke too. It just sits on the "Your tivo is booting" screen, even if I unplug it. I'm going to see if Tivo can take a look at it for me, but the warranty was invalidated when I had a larger hard drive put into it, so they're probably going to tell me to piss off, which means I'm out about $500. That's just charming.

And now my mom calls me and tells me that my childhood dog Pokey is a total wreck and will probably have to be put to sleep. Granted, he's 15 years old, but that really sucks.

Oh, and I have to get three fillings put in on wednesday.

Normally I wouldn't bitch and whine like this, but A) this is a lot of shitty stuff and I felt like ranting, and B) I'm quitting smoking, so I have a very short fuse, am extremely irritable, and feel like punching things a lot.
