I have come to the conclusion that I am cursed. Cursed when it comes to ordering or organising things � it just doesn�t go smoothly. There is no case to blame me for the problems because whenever I call up a place I have written out a little plan of how the conversation will go. I have set goals of what I need to say, ask and then resolve. So these current companies/locations/people are now on my �damn you mumble-fudgers� list. Two of them have nothing to do with calls or ordering but they did contribute to my crappy week, so they get on here too.

- Krisflyer (loyalty programme for Singapore Airlines)
- AHM (my private health fund)
- Vodafone
- Norwest Business Park (signage on two-lane roundabouts would be handy...as would street numbers)
- English football fan (for not checking their blind spot and sending me off the road, up on the gutter and then nearly hitting a telegraph pole to avoid hitting their van)

The Sexy thinks it�s the universe�s way of getting me to be more assertive.

I asserted my arse off this week. I called up to complain on service (which I don�t do, even if it sucks) and got a month free on my mobile account, I abused people that sounded like machines in Kuala Lumpur, I dripped with venom whilst telling my health fund that I would be changing due to their stuffing me around for two years on the one issue and I cursed at whereis.com.au when their <1min direction should have in fact been 30 mins.

It�s been a week of me alternatively flying off the handle and collapsing into tears of frustration. And all when I decided I needed to work on my anger issues.

Ah well, I shall just play with my new mobile, continue to plan the trip to NZ now that the flights are confirmed, get as much out of my health fund as I can before I dump them, never go to Baulkham Hills again and be nice to the English football fans because their World Cup dreams have been shattered also.

Hope all is well with you
