I was supposed to be on the road now. Or near to it. Now I'm at home...having a beer and about to take a long nap.

A couple of things happened today. Each of which has pissed me off and I'm going to sleep for a long fucking time and then drive.

A) My iPod power adapter and tape cassette adapter were stolen. Or borrowed and not returned. I'm not sure which, but I don't have them. I use them almost extensively at work for music during the day, and when I drive. On occasion I've left them at work accidentally. But work is locked up every night immediately after I leave except for the custodial staff. Yesterday on my way to leave I was about to pack up both when a custodian asked if I'd leave them. I'd left them there night before, just forgot them (not the iPod, but the adapters), and they had used them to play music while they were cleaning with one of their iPods. So I said sure, I was biking anyways. Well they certainly weren't there this morning when I came into work. And out of all the custodians, the one who doesn't show up tonight is the one who asked me to leave it. Now he's worked there for the last week or two, but what I found out today is that he was there as part of his community service. Not a paid worker. So this asshole has my power adapter and cassette adapter for my iPod. I am livid, but decide I should stop at Radio Shack and get replacements for my 7 hour drive tonight. The fucking cassette adapter cost $21 dollars. And because my iPod is one of the older models (it's a 20 gig model that only does music, no video or pictures) the current power adapters they have won't work. (This is what the guy tells me, and it makes sense since it wouldn't work in my friends iPod alarm clock.) I can't even plug it in to my computer to charge it because the cable is attacked to the power adapter. I have plugged in my even older iPod to charge for some music. That manages to hold a charge for 90 minutes of use. Lovely. So that sucks ass and pisses me off.

B) Two weekends ago I was in Buffalo for a friends birthday. I just got two tickets in the mail from the New York State Thruway authority saying my EZ pass didn't register or doesn't have funds or something (I used the lanes with no EZ Pass lights because you can go faster through them). So each ticket is $3, plus a $25 surcharge. How fucking sweet is that.

C) On top of that, I try to log into EZ pass online to pay the tickets or do whatever I have to. I can't remember my password or name. My account is supposed to autofill with money so I don't have to think about it. So I have to run out to my car (keep in mind I'm already pissed about A and B) to get my EZ pass tag thing. I bring it in but still don't remember my password. So they e-mail me a replacement one and I have to create a new permanent password. I do that. Then the EZ pass website stops fucking working. Yeah. I can't pay these tickets. So the website that let me create a new password immediately stopped working before I do anything even relatively productive on it. Looks like I'll be carrying cash for tolls on this trip. Awesome.

So in conclusion..... I'm fucking pissed. Not a little pissed. A lot. And If this were any other trip than Delaware..... I would postpone the whole thing and start hitting the liquor hard tonight.

Fuck fuck shit crap ass nut. I'm going to bed.
