Also apartment-hunting. None of these unicorns ever answer their phone on the first try.

I am ready to move home, I hate flat lands, and trying to help a foster kid who literally just craps on everything, and an alcoholic roommate who just can't be bothered to do anything ever.
I mean holy unicorns I love 'em and all but good god man! There is only so much "I need this!" "I need that!" "Can I get this" "Sides please" just sl;fjhasdjfhaklfjhas STOP! Just stop for two unicorning seconds, let me read your stupid ticket and I'll get it! unicorns!
Unrelated, mixed bag of hate and love on this one, but, have a job interview (yay), but it's way out off on the strip, which means I have to take the strip bus, and that one costs more than the normal bus, and doesn't, I think, work with a normal bus day pass. So I have to pay 10$ to get to and from this interview in bus fares when a normal day pass is 5$ and a strip bus day pass is 8$ because you can only buy a strip bus day pass AT a strip bus stop. Which I require a normal bus to get to. The amount of headache and annoyance involved with this is frustrating. At least if I -get- the job, which I really hope I do, I can just buy a 30-day bus pass and call it good.

I have legit white streaks in my temples, noticed and confirmed by a third party!
Hangovers last three days.
My knees communicate in Morse code every time I do a squat.
I sleep with my feet propped up on pillows so my back doesn't hurt.
Get on my old person level.
I wish coffee affected me much. I can drink two or three venti starbucks with four shots of espresso and it still takes it four-six hours to hit me at all, and while it does wake me up a little and make me talk faster, it doesn't stop me from sleeping at all.
Unrelated: Am super excited and stuff, so I woke up a full hour before I needed to. Mrrf. Time to clean things I guess.
We've been trying to install a couple particular headstones this month that go to the same cemetery. This cemetery is run by a church, and they have many employees who take care of it, but one main gal who manages it. We told both of these families (at their request) that we could have the headstones installed by Memorial Day (next Monday). Memorial Day is HUGE deal for a cemetery. Anyone who works at a cemetery is aware of this. We have had these stones done since the end of April, and have been calling and faxing to get them installed since last month. I -finally- speak with the lady for the cemetery today to find out why this hasn't been done.
APPARENTLY, she decided to take 2 week vacation at the beginning of May, and NO ONE ELSE at the cemetery can POSSIBLY mark a grave. What if someone died? Well, you see, apparently THEN something could be done about it, but these are only families mourning their loved ones who are already buried, getting their headstones in is "not really that important" because "they can wait another week".
She has informed me that, due to other family issues, there is no chance someone can go out and mark the lots this week for the installation, so the families have to keep waiting.
tl;dr - Vital cemetery personnel are not supposed to take vacations in May.
Man I'd have been flipping her fucking table.

To catch you all up on why this is happening, I had made a call back on Thursday the 14th to see why the replacement card hadn't arrived yet but got a machine saying the manager lady who was handling my case was out of her office so I left a message. No response for days so I called again on Monday the 18th but she was still out. Since she should have been in, gotten my message, and replied already, I finally called the basic customer service line to see what the unicorns was going on. Turns out the card wasn't ordered until the 14th when I called and left her the message asking why it hadn't arrived. In other words, she never ordered it originally.
She really should have contacted me to let me know she messed up and given me an updated timeframe to expect the card by rather than leaving me in the dark for almost a month. I'm not mean to customer service folks, even when I want to be, cause I've been there.
ALSO, in February I mentioned the hideous, spreading bite up my arm, and subsequently the random hives that keep popping up. The hot, itching, devil-hives haven't stopped, I'm vaguely fevered again (99-100 without Tylenol). This upcoming Tuesday, I'm being sent to a Dermatologist to see if they know wtf is going on with me, because no one else seems to know.
