Hey y'all!! Well I just got back from my little trip out east, visiting an old friend and have to say I had a pretty good time, maybe too good lol. Me and my friends girlfriend went halfers on a plane ticket to get me out there to surprise him for his birthday. He totally thought they were picking a relative up at the airport but when I came out he just lost it, it was so funny!!!! So yeah I had a really good time, it was a nice change of pace but like any trip, coming home is always one of the best parts. So I got up super early yesterday and flew back home. My mom picked me up because we had tickets for the Blueman Group. I was so worried I'd fall asleep during the show because I was so tired but that was impossible. It was the greatest thing EVER! I can't remember how long I've wanted to see these guys but just never had the chance. And watching the youtube videos doesn't do any justice whatsoever for this group. The backing percussionists were absolutely amazing. Plus my mom loved it too!!
That was the good to my super busy day, however there is always a low point to a day and I sure had one. When my mom picked me up, she kept saying that a collection agency kept calling their house, asking for me, saying I owed them a few hundred dollars from a really old cell phone contract I cancelled two years ago. So, I was pretty confused and really not looking forward to looking into this(I have a huge fear of talking on the phone). So I went off to the actual mobility store where I used to have a contract to see what I can do. So I got there and a really nice lady just told me to call back to the collectors and figure it out there. So I went all the way back to my parents house to get the phone number. Got there, called and they tell me to deal with the cell phone company and provided me with some fancy numbers to identity my account. So, I hop in the car and go back to the cellphone store. Thinking Ive got all the information I needed, I soon find out that one of the fancy numbers they gave me was WRONG! Arrrrg, so Im already getting annoyed by this but still keeping my smiling mask on to not cause any confrontation. So, I go back to my parents place, call the collectors again and get the new and improved fancy number. So, I go back to the cell store and she just dials a number and quickly gives me the phone when someone answers, GREEAT just what I hate!!! I have so much trouble doing these things, I always have to sit there for 10 mins with the phone in my hand just getting psyched up to press dial. So I froze at first and the person on the other line thought no one was there. Soon I piped up and said what I needed to say in my shaky and weak voice. Then the bull**** continues. "Oh, just let me transfer you to so and so" is what I kept hearing. Once I started talking to the 4th representative I started feeling the steam coming out of my ears. And right when she said again, let me just transfer you to so and so. I just flipped out and slammed the phone down, scaring the lady behind the desk. She asked what was wrong and I just started losing it. I just started screaming at her in the middle of the store with tons of people around. She was terrified, I could see it. She kept saying, "Sir i understand that you are frustrated right now" which just pissed me off even more. Finally she called everyone herself and personally dealt with it and I got those few hundred dollars taken off and got the collectors off my ass. But by the time I was done in there, people were starring and security had stopped by to escort me out of the mall lol. I guess being a sketchy nervous breakdown on legs can really benefit me in these situations where I just have to turn on the psycho button and things happen lol. But I did and still do feel really bad for the lady at the store. She didn't do anything to deserve that, she was just helping me. It was the people on the other line that kept pushing me. Maybe I should go into that store and apologize to her. Because that is totally not like me, I don't freak out at people, Im the peace guy who wants us all to get along. Maybe it was the flying and waking up super early and I was just grumpy or something.
I'm sure Iceland would be fantastic. I would be keen on going there one day myself.
