HAVING THE MORNING FROM HELL.

So I kept waking up during the later part of the night. So I slept longer than I should have, and getting ready took longer than it should have. While already late, I discover that my Metrocard is dead. After several tries of getting the card that work gave us to use our transit spending (ETRAC card) to work and failing, I try to buy a single ride. The machine gives me a receipt and not a single ride card, so I have to wait on ANOTHER line just to get on a train, which SAT at Church avenue for nearly TEN fucking minutes and let TWO Q trains go by. Then we FINALLY get to Manhattan and I get to work and call about my ETRAC card, and find out that the REASON it didn’t work is because the MTA never paid me back for the borked metrocard I sent back to them!!!

SO, I call the MTA, and tell them that I mailed the card around December 4th or so. I just called the MTA. Even though I sent the card in on like, December 4th? IT STILL ISN’T DONE BEING PROCESSED. I SWEAR TO CHRIST. FLAMES. ON THE SIDES OF MY FACE. AND THE WOMAN I SPOKE TO SAID TO CALL BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. A COUPLE OF DAYS!!!!

Then I get HERE and my work emails are stuffed full of stupid. I just. I am still wondering why exactly it was that I left bed this morning. Nope, no idea.

Ugh. Yeah, the MTA is slow like that. Our summer sublet had some issue with her card, mailed it in and she ended up getting a replacement card and check mailed to our place 2 MONTHS after she left and moved back to Oberlin.

As my friend [livejournal.com profile] jackalprey used to sarcastically proclaim, "I love the MTA!"
