What a week

I think I am going to go stark raving mad before long. Everyday, I dread the mail arriving because it's usually something that someone has screwed up.

I got a letter from Edison yesterday to say that several employees have had their identity stolen and you may be one of them. Well, first of all, I was very upset because I assumed that you had been removed from Edison's data base - SO - why are they sending out letters to dead people? The letter suggested that you check with Equifax or one of the other credit reporting companies. So, I did - but they would not give me credit report because there is a security hold on the account! ARRHHHH!

I was quite upset - lots more tears - and so I got on the horn and called Edison - what a performance! The lady that I spoke with was very nice but had not heard of anything to do with stolen identities - she will check. While I had her on the phone, I also asked her what had happened to the merit award check? I got a check for your merit award and - as per Edison - they cocked it all up. The check was made out to you - but you are not on any of the bank accounts. I have an agreement with the bank manager to deposit any checks made out in your name - so that's what I did. Bunged it in the bank. Well, a few days later, a woman from Edison called and said the check should have been in my name and it was made out for the wrong amount - AND - they want the check back! I told her that the check had gone down the big hole in the bank - so she told me to write a personal check and send them the money back and they would reissue the check in my name. That was almost 3 weeks ago! So, the lady re: identity theft is going to look into that for me.

I called the British Consulate again and asked the same lady that I had spoken to before. I asked her how things were coming along with my screwed up passport and DANG IT - she had forgotten all about it but would get in touch with Washington on Monday.

Jesus Christ! Is there anyone on this planet that can do their job. By the way, the phone calls to the Consulate are costing me $2:50 a minute - and it's that stupid outfit that have screwed things up.

Went to Dr. Dimitri on Thursday to have the impressions made for my partials. Cor Struth! He put so much goop in the mold thing and pushed it so hard, I thought it was going to ooze out of my nose! He also got the latex stuff stuck all over my face and nose. I spent my lunch hour sitting at the bar in Applebees sipping a beer and trying to peel purple and pink goop off my face. A lovely sight.

Do you remember when we went to San Diego and had lunch in that posh place at the museum - twas lovely but way too expensive. I hope you like the picture. Will love you forever.
