How motherfucking hard is it to answer the goddamn question I ask?

First there was the bank. I've had banks before that only let me close my account in person. I have two checking accounts. I want to close one -- the one in NC. So I emailed to ask if I could just call (b/c it's hard for me to do that, their working hours and mine hardly ever mesh). So I got back: You cannot close your account through this channel, its not secure. Me: Didn't ask that. I asked if I could close it via phone. Reply: No you cannot close your account via email. Me: I SAID VIA PHONE YOU DUMB BITCHES.

Now, today. The amazon vanishing orders tricks. I pre-ordered the Graveyard Book by Mine Lord Gaimen. But, since then, I've lost my debit card and had to get a new one. So, I need to change that information (b/c, trust me, just changing it on the accounts page isn't good enough. oh, no). Only problem is, the order isn't showing up b/c I did it so long ago, it doesn't come up. Even though it's an open order. And was place din 2008. I know it's there, I pre-ordered that fucking thing the first day that was an option. So I email them to say 'wtf' and get back: Oh, it doesn't show b/c you have two accounts. And it hasn't shipped yet b/c it's not out yet. I DO NOT HAVE TWO ACCOUNTS YOU STUPID FUCKWITS AND I DIDN'T ASK WHY IT HASN'T SHIPPED. I ASKED WHY THE ORDER WOULDN'T SHOW UP SO I COULD CHANGE MY FUCKING INFO.

Then there's Lulu. Oh, lulu. Still pissed off with you. Get a reply telling me my story got pulled down b/c I fucked it up when, in fact, no - it was lulu. On two orders. So what do I get back? Two spanish auto replies followed by a 'oh, I downloaded it and it works fine now, so tee hee, guess I dn't have to do my job now' and 'you're usig the wrong pdf maker, do something else'. Fuck you too, thanks for helping.

If you want me to hate you for the rest of my fucking life, then do everything but answer the question I asked. Seriously. I hate wasting time, I hate having my time wasted. If I ask a question, all I want is that question answered. If you answer a question I didn't ask, or half ass the answer, or don't answer period? Congrats, I now hold you in contempt.

I'm so goddamn sick of stupid people. After I get the special edition of Beedle the Bard, I'm swearing off Amazon as much as possible. RBC is losing my business anyway, and if I can just find some other way of publishing ebooks, I'd get rid of lulu. I'm tired of wasting my life on people and places that make it painfully obvious they don't give a flying fuck.

It's rare I have a true dilemma of POV. My stories tend to make clear who says what, who gets no screen time. But, at this point, it's pretty obvious new fairytale will require two parts - final titles being Wolf Given and The Seventh Son - but I'm torn on the second story. There's a great deal I see from both POVs. Either would work, and I guess I could do both. But there's no good reason, and it risks dragging the story out, and it wouldn't mesh in the end. The first story only has one POV. It would look strange if the second story had two. So I guess at this point I have to decide which one to use, and say goodby to the extraneous scenes of the unused char. So who to use for story 2? Continue with Ulrich, or switch to Grosvenor. Choices, choies.

Of course, the point is moot atm. I still have to finish the first story.

Still, you can see how thrilling my days are, when that's what I choose to think about for most of it. Heh.

Ahahaha

If you want me to get NOTHING done, put on crime shows. CSI comes on, and I'm doomed. Sekkret weakness.

Oddly enough, through all the eps of (original) CSI I've seen, Hodges has become my fav char. I'm a sucker for assholes with cool points, what can I say?

Now, shower and bed. Tomorrow I will really have to work, cause I did shit tonight.
