Always remember to double check things!

Yes, yes, I know, I'm horrible about being up to date with my blog. There are often things that I want to write, but I dont have the patience to actually sit down and write them. 


And then there are things that I plan to write, but they spiral out of hand, and become too complicated to explain.
For instance, this week, I got into another three-day argument with amazon because of their flawed gift certificate system. I saved all the chat logs that I had with them, because I had planned to post them so you could see the things I deal with, but then it went on for longer than It should have. I think you all would get bored. If you are that bored and want to read the communication records that I have had, let me know, and maybe I'll put them together in some easy to read manner. 


Long story short, it involved some stupid technical flaw relating to the way that gift certificates are applied. My balance was being applied to one of my subscribe and save orders that wouldnt ship until march, and it wouldnt apply to the order i wanted to place on Wednesday. 
Then here's what happened in bullet form

• My order was guaranteed for friday, but as they were working on it, it got bumped to monday.
• i asked them to change it to one day shipping, at no additional charge
• friday comes, and i never got the package. It was never shipped for some reason
• I contact them again. after much hassle, and tons of confusion, they decide to only charge me the price of shipping ($4). I'm fine with this, as the original order was $11 without shipping.
• im waiting for it to get here monday. 

Now, this sounds all easy and fine, but I assure you, it was obnoxiously complicated, and took me several hours to fix. Blah. Whatever. 


Friday was payday. That's good. See, it's not really about the money, because I'm not going to spend it; but the feeling of receiving the check in return for working makes me happy. It is weird, because working makes me happy just like that, but the fact that I get a check makes it official. I walked down to TD Bank in town today to deposit my check. This is probably the first time I've deposited a check in an ATM. I usually go to the teller, mainly because I have no idea what my account number is, so I can't write it on the deposit slip. But that ATM has envelope-free deposits. 


Okay, what's next? I went snowboarding all day Saturday, which was awesome. I can feel myself getting better every time I go down the mountain. The conditions were pretty good too. When I went to the peak in the morning, you couldn't see further than ten feet, which is kinda scary when you are that high up, and do not know the terrain that well. But it was all good. I had a ton of fun. The only problem is that when I got back, I was completely wiped out. At one point, I literally crawled into 303, because I could not gather enough energy to get up. 


So, I had a lazy evening. I was tired, and getting ready to go to bed. I guess it must have been like 12:30 in the morning. But, Kaisey (my RA), had some friends over, and one of them decided to drop by to let me know that she had sneezed in her wonton soup, and therefore I could not have any. And then we moved on to talking about technology, and complete randomness. Since her name was Jenn, and rhymed with my name, that boosted us to best friend status instantly. Or so she says. Jenn also says that her town invented the graham cracker...


Long story short, Kaisey, Jenn, Danielle and I ended up watching classic youtube videos, such as squirrels beatboxing until about 2:30AM. I went to sleep at 3.




Now, you're probably thinking that this was a long, obnoxious and boring post. Well, that's too bad. I didn't really need you to read this anyway. So there.


Oh, you want a picture?


Here is a two mile long chairlift, that lasts 15 minutes, and takes you between two mountain peaks. And no, that isn't the other peak over there, it's just a hill.
