I need to Vent

[tribute2zero]

Sorry guys, But i really need to get some things off my chest, and i honestly have nobody to talk to...
Ok, You all know, well, most of you, know this week was a pretty rough week for a lot of people... but i think im having the worse luck of my whole life...
Wednesday, the 14th, marked the anniversary of my Dane, Zeus's passing... On that day this year, i lost my job. i was fired due to other employee's mistakes... and them blaming me for it, and him NOT believing me... That night, my problems with cloud happened... He died the following day... that has been VERY hard on me...
Well, we have been planning this HUGE trip to vegas for a week, which is happening on the 23rd when we leave for ottawa... You need birth certificate and photo ID to get on the plane...
Well, heres the thing.... We leave from ottawa to vegas on the 25th, get back in ottawa on the 29th... My id expires on the 28th. the airline said Thats fine... so one thing that was alright, eh? Sooooo lastnight, saturday, my friend Michelle calls, and invites us to the bar... so no problem, we go to the bar... I'm 21 by the way... and look maybe 18 tops? Well, the bouncer looks at my ID and said it was a fake... He started picking at my ID and pulled all the lamanate OFF my id. he then confinsated (SP) it, and told me to get the cops if i wanted it back. SO- i did. the cops got it, came back to me, i stayed at the cop shop because honestly, what a lousy week... I broke right down, and cried all night. so when the cops came they asked me the condition of my id before the bouncer took it. i said "there was a wee bursted air pocket above the birthdate" he said "well, ok..." he handed me my id... the bouncer took the WHOLE birthday off of it, my address is BARELY on there... now, my id is RUINED. i probably wont be able to get to vegas now. and we already paid... Im soooo mad. and soooo upset about everything right now...
any words of comforting would help!

You have my sympathies. I don't know what more I can offer.

I've been having a rough week too. I don't want to go into details or compare who has it tougher. But maybe knowing that your not the only one who discovers that the cliche "trouble comes in bunches" is very much based in reality will help a bit.

No matter how long the bad times last, you have to somehow remember that things can turn around. If you just give in to the bad times, they may end in rather disturbing ways instead. If you keep your hopes up and work towards something better, you have a good shot of achieving that.

I don't know what the deal is in Ottowa. In some US states, you can get either a photo ID or a DL. Luckily, in AK, we can get both issued from the state assuming we qualify for a DL of course. If that is the case where you (or anyone) live, I strongly suggest you take advantage of it. Having a passport is also a good thing, because it is a valid ID for all occassions.

You leave on the 23rd, so you have time to see if you can get an official ID quickly. I hope you can. In any case, consider adding to your ID collection to lower the chance of problems like this in the future.

Good luck! I hope you make it to Vegas. If you do, be sure to see the dolphins at the Mirage. It is relatively cheap. They don't put on shows... they simply let the dolphins do what dolphins do.

Jodi, I am sorry things are stacking up right now. I am sorry that I don't have the right words of comfort. Hope something comes up so you can go though.

I also agree!! Things for us arn't going as planned either.

my bf got a ticket today for 3 demerit points, our insurance doesn't go up but now he won't be able to get any truck driving job for the next 3 years with points on his licence. So that sucks a lot. The cop did bump it down a bit it would have been 260$ fine and 4 points but instead its a 95$ fine and 3 points. He's going to fight it but I think he deserved to get the ticket and he still didn't learn about speeding he did it on the way home.
Men meh, well most of them! LOL

[tribute2zero]

nooo steph- not most.. ALL! lol
well, i got a Valid photo sticker placed on my liecence, hopefully it will be ok on the plane, also one of those green slips that say that my licence is in the mail..
Also, my last wisdom tooth is coming in... FINALLY, my other three came out all at once, it didnt hurt at all... this one, my whole mouth is swollen inside. it hurts so bad... to talk,to talk, to swallow even. Grrr. lol. hopefully it doesnt take too long, and or the swelling goes down fast... well, i think im off to walk the dogs to the post office. see ya later. thnx for the kind words

Well have fun in Vegas.

[koffee]

Cool... I hope it all works.

Check out the Flamingo too... they have a nice garden area (FREE) with flamingos, penguins, and other cool critters.

I think Vegas has other attractions besides critters, like gambling or something.

p.s. Other neat and FREE things include the Bellagio fountains, and the Fremont Street light shows. (I found the novelty of the volcano wore off quickly, especially since our hotel overlooked it which ruined the effect.) But there's quite a bit of cool free stuff in Vegas. The dolphins cost some money, but I still think they were worth it. I could say some harsh things about the Mirage "zoo", though.
