Candid Camera

Usually several times a week while at work- I get the feeling I am on candid camera. Sometimes, I even find myself looking for the hidden camera. Is it in the air vent, the fake plant in the corner...

But lately I find that this feeling has carried its way over into my personal life. It all started 2 weekends ago. I was going to Dallas to do a wedding. Adam and I thought we would just make a day out of the trip.

1st snafu- one wrong turn- we end up way off base from our 1st planned destination.
2nd snafu- after skipping our 1st destination due to now lack of time- half to our second destination (IKEA- to look for tables) I realize I have left my flash at home approx. 1.5 hrs away- and it is a night wedding! This results in us having to purchase a $200 flash at the drop of a hat.
3rd snafu- the wedding runs late- like an hour or so late- meaning we leave Dallas and hour or so later than planned.
4th snafu- a computer glitch causes me to temporarily loose about 150 pictures from above said wedding- but I didn't find this out until the Monday after the wedding and after I deleted my disks to take pictures at my dog's 1st birthday party- Monday night- I came pretty close to having a breakdown resulting in eyes to swollen the next day to wear contacts. (luckily I married a very smart man and all 150 were recovered flawlessly)
5th snafu- I managed to double pay the mortgage- I paid it Saturday only to return on Monday to see that it wasn't recorded as paid- so I thought- I must not have selected the dates to pay- and repaid it. -- the double payment not discovered until days later - of course overdrafting my account - however was able to get reversed thanks to good customer service.
6th and most recent- I have now been told by the mortgage place that we owe 1300 dollars by June 1st or our monthly payment will go up $200! Of course none of their reasoning makes sense- so on my one half a day off- first time off I have had all year, I am forced to try to find someone that has a brain that can show me my account history for the past 2yrs - and of course it is Friday and they are all out of the office!
I mean, really- what? I keep saying, well it could be worse- of course every time I say that something else pops up. and let's face it - I am a worry-wort. I stay stressed out when things like this happen because I automatically assume they are my fault- I should have been more aware or more prepared or smarter, I should have just know- why didn't I prevent this. So thanks Wells Fargo and candid camera for making my half a day off and weekend the most relaxing ever!
