I love it when they say, "Don't start anything in MR!" We start SCHOOL here during MR.
I had NO problems whatsoever. The only issues I had were with getting picked up- in one case being in the wrong spot, and in the other case, well,...drama erupted.
Basically, my weekend went along the lines of this:
Play With Pressure Cookers At Your Own Risk.
Taurus Is Getting Slammed.
Well, I've printed out two of my Southwest tickets online (I lost one last time I flew- but then they were all, "Eh, we'll print you out another one."), printed out the confirmation number, wrote down the "what to do if your flight is canceled" number, signed my cell phone up to get alerts as to the flight status...
I think that's about the best I can do ahead of time. Too bad getting there early (or really early) is probably going to be impossible, given that my ride to the airport is perpetually late. I should get there around 9:45 a.m. at the latest, and I'll be lucky to make it into the goddamned security line (which is ginormous at the airport I fly out of, not so much the other one) by then and run to the terminal.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Apparently today is worse than usual.
I mentioned the computer problems I'm having. Now a bunch of stuff JUST GOT DELETED. Including a list of things I specifically said I had to SAVE.
Oh, for chrissake.
Apparently the answer to this is YES.
*eye-roll*
SOMEONE (which is to say, both parties here) does not understand the concept of Dead To Me.
- If someone gets dumped during Mercury retrograde, does that mean the dumper will be coming back?
(I wasn't the one dumped, for the record, I'm just the fallout girl. I keep telling the dumpee NO, he isn't coming back, but during an MR, who knows for sure exactly?)
2. Bleah on having work computers upgraded during MR. Took for-bloody-ever to get things changed over. As far as I could tell, the computer guy had to do the same routine three or four times per computer. And now something else isn't working, but computer guy is too overloaded to deal with it. (Update: the problem fixed itself, but the computer guy reconfigured the program so freaking awkwardly I can't even figure out how to fix that. Ugh.)
3. I dunno about the "you're not supposed to travel during MR" thing. Never ran into a lick of trouble, traffic, or so much as a car crash traveling this weekend. The only lateness going on was my mother, the Queen of Late, but she can't get her crap together even during Mercury direct.
I'm going on vacation during Mercury retrograde. Can't be helped- I very specifically cannot go earlier or later than that particular week.
Argh. Guess we'll see what disasters blow up on me. Let's hope it ain't the plane.
(I am reading a book on guess what right now.)
Normally MR doesn't do squat to me because I have it natally and thus those periods are like "normal" to me, but if it's really affecting all transportation, that might screw me because it's screwing everyone else. Ugh.
