No shortage of problems

Today was a problematic day.

I thought I was going to get my license because the paperwork nonsense I had resolved with the ECFMG cleared my immigration form at the DMV guy's computer, but then he tells me I have to get my new renewed license (and not my old, still un-expired license) for the license transfer to occur. He couldn't have told me this a week ago, this had to happen today, 4 days before my residency is supposed to begin.

Then UPS tells me I can pick up the package that I didn't sign for (while I was at the DMV) and tells me that I have a very short window in which to pick it up. I go to the street and I see a truck there. I ask him if he's going to the UPS office and he says yes, and I say "Well I guess I should just meet you---" he cuts me off and yells "Well you better hurry up because I don't have time!" So I jump back into the car and I follow him to the office.

When I get there, the door won't open because it's 8:05 and I knock and nobody will open it. I peer through the reflective glass at an angle and I notice that there's clearly someone there and they're clearly throwing their hands up like "what?" So fuck them.

Then I called UPS to complain, and while the customer service agent put me on hold, she hung up on me.

I think this is one of those times where I just have to sit back and realize that life is too short to get angry about bullshit nonsense things like this, but for some reason I'm still mad. Also, these people are drivers and customer service agents at UPS. As far as I'm concerned, they're basically already in hell. Then again, if I told them what I did, being the unambitious lot that they are, they'd probably think my job was hell. Okay I'm done complaining. I'm gonna go iron my shirts and tune my bike, maybe I can actually make it to bed early today.
