at least my dress was cute...

this morning started off great - i was well-rested from going to bed an hour earlier, the house was quiet, the sun was shining, and the birds were chirping. but because the universe just likes to make me the butt of a joke sometimes, the good morning didn't last. i guess the one good thing about my day though is that i wore a new dress! and, hey, who doesn't like a new dress?! first, i told my mother-in-law that i was giving random homicide some serious thought and she replied with, "well you look really cute, and i love the dress," and then a complete stranger with an impressive afro started singing, dancing, and pointing at me as i went by. i don't know, but again, i think it must have been the dress.

the deets: cardigan - target; dress - forever 21; belt - gift; shoes - vintage from ebay back before vintage was so expensive you needed to take out a bank loan to buy it.

now, you wanna know what has me so annoyed i could punch babies? i'll tell you. i'm in the process of getting a domain name transferred for a client's website, and without going into all the details, i'll summarize by saying IT'S A NIGHTMARE! it really has been such a headache, and yesterday i thought one hurdle had been cleared, but of course i thought wrong. the domain name that was supposed to be transferred is cedargate, but somehow the seemingly knowledgeable tech guy, who i later realized is a complete dumbass, initiated a transfer for petergate! SERIOUSLY?!? he couldn't understand cedargate, so it was spelled out C-E-D-A-R-G-A-T-E, but he had a difficult time with that, too. so then it was spelled out like the license plates of a stolen car: Charles - Edward - David - Adam - Robert - George - Adam - Tom - Edward, and i thought he had it, but he didn't. so now petergate is what i'm stuck with because apparently idiot tech guy can't cancel an incorrect domain transfer that HE initiated. oh hell.

so, yeah, there you have it. i mean, at least i can laugh about it though (a super-annoyed-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown laugh still counts, right?). i hope you've had a good day so far!

  4. that sounds awful!
    and ps. are we supposed to be soul mates or something. because I just bought that dress and am waiting for it to come to me in the mail!! Twinsies.
    Anways, don't let the tech guy get you down. There's gotta be a way to correct it. Maybe it will just take more time than anticipated.
    You're adorable!!!!

  5. Oh my goodness. I hate stupid people on the phone (and in general). Even more than that I hate stupid tech people on the PHONE. It's so hard communicating. You can't use hand gestures that would help or right it out, and sometimes people just DON'T GET IT. Good luck getting that all figured out on the phone. At least you look REALLY pretty. :)

  8. You're right, your dress is super cute. Glad you got the little package that I sent your way. The notebook is from one of my favourite places in Vancouver. To look at your domain name situation in a positive light, Petergate is the most ridiculous name ever and the tech guy helping you didn't even realize it. Hope you get to enjoy the long weekend. :)

  9. I am so sorry that ruined your day, but it literally just made mine. I laughed so hard. I imagine that's where Peter Griffin lives.

  10. Really cute dress! Sorry about the idiot you had to deal with. What an idiot if he was not able to get the name correctly after you spelled it out using actual words so that he can hear what you meant with certain words that sound familiar. Who hires these people??

  11. Boo! I'm sorry friend....but on the bright side, you really do look super cute in that dress. Any dress that initiates dancing and singing from strangers is a good one :). love you lady and I hope your day gets better!

    xo!

  15. oh maan. right now i am totally down to punch babies with you. i think you would get away with it really well especially if you're wearing that dress! plus my mansy could probably fix your it techie problems. wait, that sounds like he would assasinate him but i meant literally help with the techie problem. he's totally into spelling things out like police do and knows all the names they use!
