If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all

[Atl]

All,
This has been a bad week. A man I greatly admired died, Steve Jobs. I had to sell my GMT-II so I can pay the bills (sold for almost double what I paid for it, at least). Had to pay $400.00 to get rid of squirrels in my attic, and STILL have not found work. And the icing on the cake you may ask???? UPS delivered my greatly anticipated Audyssey Lower East Side Computer speakers, and both the outer cardboard shipping box, and inner box with the speakers is totally waterlogged, like UPS threw my shipment in a pool for a while. And it has not rained in Atlanta since Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, all sunny. I am so pissed. My last purchase was a very nice TEAC CD player that the UPS driver threw on the ground, not dropped, threw it. That was last April. And the local Manager has the gall to be surprised my package is waterlogged, since it, as I said, has not rained since Tuesday. But thankfully, my roommate is a witness that the box, and speakers are ruined. I asked for the Manager to call me, and was told he would twice, both within an hours time, but no call. Nothing.
But I need work, this job search since being laid off has been painful. I am NOT used to not working. I have a college degree in business admin., and great references, but the phone is not ringing. Very depressing.

Sorry for being a downer, I feel like a sail boat without it's sails in a gail. Just being battered about. I really don't know what to do. Thank God I found a buyer for my Rolex. Thank God I HAD a Rolex to sell! I bought it in 2004 for $2300.00, and sold it today for $4100.00.

The Audyssey speakers were a gift, I do not have money to spare to buy computer speakers, and now I have to fight UPS to make things right, and they seem to not care at all.

Sorry, I just had to vent,
David in Atlanta
