This is a post about frustration

I was going to spell out the details, but I just don't have the energy for it. Basically, I'm tired of obstacles and buraucracy and working around the systems. I just want the internet set up and a freaking phone. But one piece is needed for the other which is needed for the next, which makes certain details a complicated circle. It's like a closed system and we can't quite seem to break in.

I'm super pleased that I cooked a dinner in my own home last night (sauteed potatos, mushrooms and onions, green salad with vinaigrette, and fried whiting - hee). But this morning, I'm tired of things being difficult, of running into unforeseen obstacles in trying to accomplish basic daily tasks.

Thank goodness we're not in a truly foreign land. I can't imagine how taxing that would be!

I know the feeling.
I can't register with any of the doctors surgeries without an official letter with my uni address on it. I don't have the usual phone bill, bank statement, etc. as all of that is either electronic or goes to my York address.
A copy of my contract won't work as it doesn't have my address on it, only that I've agreed to live in uni accommodation.

I'm sure I was logged in.

Gah. What is with the British! How can it be so hard for you? At least I understand why it's difficult for us. But I do have a phone now, and a bank and it's slowly getting sorted. I'll text you! Whee!
