This weekend was all over the place.  It all began, Friday night, with me leaving Erin’s wallet in the cab to her friends place.  It and her cellphone were in my pocket.  Needless to say, when we got out, I had the cellphone, but not the wallet.  But wait, it gets better.  Then, on the return trip back to my place, the cellphone must have fallen out too!  Good to see I’m two for two.

Needless to say, the weekend revolved quite heavily around these two events.

Both times we lost something, we called the cab company, at least we think we called the right cab company.  It’s not really something you look at, let alone the cab number, unless something about the ride makes you think about it.  Needless to say, ride home, I got the cab number, just because I was thinking about it from earlier.  After calling the cab company about the cell phone, I repeatedly tried to call it, hoping someone may pick it up.  Well, someone did pick it up, but it was just to turn it off.

Hopefully that means that it’s at the lost and found of the cab company.  The only downside, at the time, was that the lost and found of the cab company we thought it was, is only open Monday – Friday.

Saturday consisted of cancelling all her credit cards, disconnecting her phone, and, you guessed it, sitting in line for 2.5 hours at the DMV.  Wow, I can tell you guys are incredibly jealous.

Unfortunately, this could not have come at a worse time for Erin, since she is incredibly stressed because of school.  Adding this on top of that, I think, is bringing her very close to her breaking point.

I just feel like such a moron for doing this to her.  Needless to say, there was alcohol involved Friday night.  But, on the up side, we had a good time at her friends place.

Lately Aaron and I have bought a lot of things for the apt and stuff, and since we’re geeks, they have mostly been online.  Not that that is a problem or anything, but shipping has given us nightmares (him more than me).  Thankfully I haven’t had nearly the headaches that he has (Aaron, if you’re reading this, you really need to write an entry about your tales).  Also, it just seems to happen with one shipper, UPS.

Well, anyways, I had multiple things shipped to my apt.  Oil and oil filter, fuel filter system, and xbox wireless controllers.  I never got a tracking number from any of the above, so I waited patiently.  Never was a tag put on our door for me.  Instead, Aaron got one, so he had stuff redirected to my office (changed the name to me, so the receptionist would know who they’re for).  Turns out that they just lumped both of our stuff on the same delivery notification, since my oil and fuel stuff got sent there too.  Not a big deal, but strange.

Now, I haven’t received my wireless controllers yet, so I sent the company an email.  They told me that they were being returned, since it had sat at the UPS office for 7 or so days.  Thankfully they are nice, and are sending me two more via USPS to my office.  As you can see from the screenshot of UPS’s website, apparently I called in, not once, but twice.  I wonder who this person was, but it definitely wasn’t me. 

Oh well, I guess it’s all worked out now, but I’m definitely sending everything to the office from now on.  That’s for sure

Ever since I moved to my new apt, I’ve walked by the Merchandise Mart and have seen the flyer’s for NeoCon.  Now, at the time I didn’t really know what NeoCon actually was, but it was going to be in the same building as LuxeHome, so I was excited. 

Well, of course, I remembered, yesterday.  Actually, I didn’t so much as remember, as I saw the Herman Miller, Steelcase, etc trucks sitting outside the Merchandise Mart.  So, I hit up the website last night only to find out that you have to pay to visit it.  That’s really unfortunate, because I wish I would’ve gone and snapped a few pictures to share. 

I guess I’ll just have to keep visiting Inhabitat instead, sigh.
