Life according to Gordon

Woke up this morning and quickly realized that for some strange reason, my house does not have hot water at the moment. Cold shower was cooooooooooold. I'm sure this will be resolved quickly, as issues like this typically are, but I would have much preferred the resolution to come sometime prior to me taking a shower. Sigh.

Next, traffic was atrocious this afternoon on the way to lunch. I drove Paul and myself over to Qdoba/Subway (Paul already had Qdoba once this week), and there were just a lot of cars, which does not facilitate fast travel, thereby increasing Gordon's frustration level. At the restaurant, I got my usual, chicken nachos, but much to my dismay there was a note at the counter saying that they had some sort of shortage of adequate tomatoes, and as such, anything with tomatoes in it (such as my favorite Pico de Gallo salsa) were temporarily not available. Sad panda. I went with the medium salsa instead, which I would not recommend (but it was the next closest thing).

And then it took forever to get out of the parking lot on the way back, as an unending line of cars seemed to appear out of nowhere to block my passage. Then at the stoplight, not one, not two, but three cars in succession ran a red light and almost caused me to get into another car accident. I will concede that the first one was probably okay to go; they were all turning left and it was already out in the intersection some. But the other two had no excuse whatsoever to continue driving. The light was clearly red. And to top that off, the lady coming in the opposite direction from me (who had a green) apparently had a hard time seeing my car through those other red-light-running cars, as she too came very close to driving right into it.

Lastly, I'm still working on getting the funds restored to one of my bank accounts, because one of my debit cards was stolen. Well, not the card itself, but the numbers. There were two charges that put me in the negative (I didn't have many monies in this particular account), one to a website that's written in Arabic, and another to some German company that is apparently notorious for stealing credit card numbers. Sigh × 2. So tonight Chris and I are going back to Sheboygan to see friends and play games. And I'll naturally get to see my family as well. So hopefully things will improve this weekend. Today is not my day.
