The chaos
2 years ago
General
This week and next week...actually November. Is gonna be utter chaos from here on. It's already not been off to a great start with my good friends death, but on Monday I then lost my phone coming back from Therapy classes. How entrenched are our lives with our phones these days. I have two factor authentication on things like my online banking and my paypal and things like that so im effectively locked out of these services until I can get a new phone. Cue the chaos that is trying to get a new phone. I was DEFINITELY talking to a trainee on tuesday morning trying to organise a new phone they talked to me for an hour and forty minutes with me saying throughout that I had lost my phone and they kept saying stuff like...
Them: "To verify it's you we need to send you a text to your phone."
Me: But ive lost my phone...
Them: oh yeah
Then later
Them: Once you get your new device you will need to take your old simcard and put it in your new device.
Me: But I've lost my phone, the sim card was in it so I have no sim
Them: Oh yeah....Would you like us to send you a new sim.
Anyway the new phone eventually turned up...but without a sim so I phoned up yesterday just to check that a new sim was coming only to find out that weirdly they had manually cancelled the sim part of the transaction....So...HOPEFULLY a new sim is now properly on its way and its coming in the next couple of days because if it doesnt I am so so screwed not being able to get into my paypal or bank has been an arse, but also I guess at least it shows its secure if even I the account holder cant get into it LOL.
I head up to edinburgh next week for three days for my sisters 40th birthday. I am concerned for a whole slew of reasons, mostly Booking.com killed my account because someone had booked a holiday with my account. I changed my password and notified booking.com and rather than deal with that they just closed my entire account with no way of retrieving that. Annoyingly it was through booking.com that i organised the accommodation me and my sisters are using for our stay in Edinburgh, with the whole lot already paid and non refundable (£960) Im really worried that the booking is going to get cancelled. Ive been in touch directly with the apartment owner and he says its all still on (altho he wants photos of mine and my sisters ID which im not giving him as that feels kinda fraudy), but if he cancels last minute or doesnt let us in or whatever...theres zero place I can complain or get anyone to help as booking.com has just randomly washed their hands of me for something that wasn't my fault.
I get back from edinburgh and pretty much hafta go straight into a 2 day trip to teh funeral of my very good friend. Thats going to be tricky with several hours or travelling to get there, we're staying over night i believe and then coming back following day.
Oh did I mention that inbetween all of this I have a 3000 word essay to write for school. Luckily its 5 hours up to edinbugh on teh train so hoping i can get most of the writing done then....but life feels very VERY chaotic right now LOL
So posting art might be a bit...patchy/sporadic this month. Ill try not to mess people around too much

Right up until the time it isn't.
I've suffered this circular BS more times than I care to count, over the years.
I hope things work out in the end for you Miss
I hope you got a phone with a headphone jack, but maybe a wee baby like you shouldn't be trusted with a phone and you need your daddy to take you around by the hand everywhere
Really hope that you can return to a somewhat less chaotic everyday soon though, no matter who you are we can only take so much chaos before we get completely overwhelmed.
I think a lost or broken phone is a pain and suffering we all have experienced at least once. Hope your travels go smoothly.
