Flippin' Google Maps.
When I type gas, I mean a gas station. Not a gas company's administrative building.
When I want to change destination, I shouldn't have to click three x's in two different spots then press blue arrows in another two spots.
Why the hell can't it process "hotels near convention center".
Yesterday I told it to avoid toll roads, but apparently that decision *doesn't persist* so now I have to mail a money order for 50 cents... And I just realized I forgot to record the plate off my rental car, so I guess I need to call and see how the hell that works.
And I can't remember the specific example, but isn't it great when a one-word search finds a result halfway across the country instead of assuming you mean something nearby? Ugh.
The real thing I'm upset about I can't even really talk about. I looked forward to a thing for over a year then decided not to do it, rendering a big portion of this trip a massive waste.
So I get a redeye train back to my home state and try to pick up my car at my mom's, and it turns out she's freaking pissed at me because she took my car to the DMV and basically lied to them to get it inspected and registered. Which I really didn't want her to do, she's under a lot of stress and I live 3 hours away from her and planned to handle it myself. But she insists on picking me up from the train station an hour away (I was going to take the bus but she's already most of the way to the station when she tells me).
The whole ride she tells me how stressful the DMV situation was. And how she went ahead and had the shop replace my glitchy door handle for $200 "I hope that's okay". I'm paying for it all of course... Not that I mind, most of it needed to be done... But I don't live with her, and she seriously got *way* too far in my business. Yet here she is *forgiving me* for being irresponsible, as if I dumped any of this on her. But all I can say is "Thanks" "I really appreciate it" "This is a big help" "I really wasn't expecting this but thank you". Because the only thing that would make this worse is to add any more stress on her, she works way too hard, the guilt would kill me.
I already feel guilty for lying about why I stayed in Florida, and chickening out of it *anyway*. There's no way I could take a nap now, I'll sleep after I drive 3 hours home in the rain (hopefully this evening).
Oh and Tuesday I have to give a work presentation on something that's completely outside my job description, again.
