Ugh

Must not panic.
Must not panic.
My wedding venue hates my wedding caterer.
Apparently there is a "conflict of interest" to have caterer with own venue cater to wedding at wedding venue.
And no amount of cajoling seem to clear way for having ideal caterer cater at ideal location.

Arrrgggh.

And I dislike venue's preferred caterer now because really, caterer was unprofessional during our first meeting
Also quote he sent though economical, had freaky plastic glasses for alcohol and no glasses at all for water.

Boy and I are totally down about this and have made tentative forays into looking into other caterers.

But this really derails plans...

For, I must fix caterer to fix venue (because gorgeous venue has rules about going outside their "preferred caterer" and your bargaining options to include other caterer are limited once you signed the contract with venue)
And I must fix venue to get card designer started on cards...
Really, I wish I didn't have such exacting standards for wedding.

Arrrrgh

To add to slowly building frustration, at work, my spot at upcoming tradeshow in Vegas has been replaced by admin's assistant.
Which boggles my mind.
Boggles
Despite having worked on project for long, admin's assistant ??? is going for upcoming tradeshow.
Arrrgh.
Decided not to let this one go, and found out that because I no longer technically work for office but work for division that heads office, I and budget for my expenses fall under Division Budget and not office budget,
So...talked to boss lady in far away west coast and she's not sure where I fall.
Head boggling further...and now sympathise with those doomed to wander around purgatory.

And
miserable, miserable computer at work keeps freezing in middle of conference calls, and long winded IT evangelist refuses to be efficient and short about explanations on what went wrong.

"Fix it! Just fix the clunky thing...please,"I almost yelled but instead settled for, "I really need you to fix it. And thanks for stopping by" with turned back and 'dialing number now to talk to anyone but you so go away' attitude.

And.

Boy's free time has been taken up almost exclusively by his pool league, which after years of badmouthing, I completely, and joyously support!
But supporting pool league when boy is near is so much easier than supporting pool league from far away.

And...

Got call from new friend who was dismayed by company I hang out with.
Said company I hang out with uses the word "shit" a lot which really puts her off and so wants to hang out again this weekend but just with me. Company she mentioned includes very dear and close friend.
What was the point of that phone call? What the bloody helll???

So Good Riddance to this lousy week!
On the plus side, worked out more consistently.
And Hungarian friend is coming over today. He shall teach me to make Goulash and cascades of wine shall be consumed to drown this miserable week.
Hooorah!
