So what I am learning from you My Lovelies is that you really enjoy the posts where I talk about a declarative statement I made and Fate comes along to smack me upside the head for making said statement. WOW – really feeling the love peeps 😆😆😆😆! You know I can be insightful on occasion… just saying 😁.
It has inspired me to consider creating a contest where you submit a brief story about a time Fate gave you a reality check. I’ll find some judges and see who has the funniest “this could only happen to me story”. I’m going to think on it so I can plan accordingly and yes, a prize will be awarded if I figure out the structure. Don’t worry names of the innocent will be protected 😁.
Now that the 23andMe issue has finally been put to bed, I have one last story specific to my contact with them. I wrote a blistering response when asked about my experience with Henry (my email contact). Don’t worry, I gave him good marks, I’m not a complete a🤬🤬hole. Besides my issue was with the way their system is set up and how insulting it was that I had to rely on my ex to get my data back and maybe they should look at requiring everyone who submits a kit to have their own account, thus avoiding telling someone in the future that their own data is private and cannot be revealed to them. Pretty good suggestion I thought. The response “Your request has been updated below. Feel free to reply to this email with any questions or additional comments…” Sound at all familiar? Of course, I realize it’s their initial standard response, but I’d rather wait for an actual response and skip this pointless (and annoying 🙄) step. I’m telling you on my best day of writing, I really couldn’t make this s🤬🤬t up (feel free to prove me wrong Fate 😆). If I get a real response this weekend, I will share it on Monday.
Well at least most of the issues have been resolved, for now. Just waiting for the next “What the hell Fate?” moment that I will laugh about after the fact. I know it’s coming; you know it’s coming so let’s see how long it takes before Fate takes another swipe at me. I will meet Her with absolutely no grace whatsoever 🤪? Then post an amusing anecdote for you all to enjoy after the fact. Anyone who understands bookmaking want to weigh in on the odds? Or should we have a pool to see who can guess the next date of my “What the Hell Fate?” moment without going over? Although I am having scheduled routine maintenance done on my car Saturday – let’s see what else they find 😀! Actually, those who run the maintenance dept at Toyota know me really well, so they don’t recommend any unnecessary work, thankfully. That doesn’t mean they won’t find something though because Fate and I are like this 🤞 in all the worst ways.
Oh, and the service that has to be done does sound vaguely pornographic 😬 – I’d tell you what it’s called if I could remember 🤦♀️ (depression brain at work 😜). I’ll find out this weekend and add it to Monday’s update.
And on that note, I will leave you with this beautiful thought for the weekend:
“As confusing, unpredictable, and stressful as life may be, always remember, it is never incorrect to be kind. When lost, just do nice things.”
