If There WERE A God - He Would Give Me Someone To Strangle

I'll just preface this by saying that now that my fever and general blah-ness from the multitude of spider bites is abating and I have finally gotten two good sleeps in a row, I had to go get my flu shot yesterday.
So, fever (HI! haven't seen you for ohhh, 2 days! Didya miss me?) and I am still so tired that I made tacos for dinner and looked at all of the fixin's for a moment before hauling out a big bowl, tossing it all in, crumbling a bunch of taco shells in and getting a big spoon.
Okay, so first let me go back to the part where my management company has no licence....
I emailed them and asked them what was up and they responded (in incomplete sentences and bad grammar) that the licence renewal was in process, would take a month and the woman who wrote the letter to me was just a bit too gung-ho.
Okay. Fine.
Now, normally they collect the rent and it hits my bank account between the 11th and the 15th. Which, yanno, works for me cause I have rent to pay on the 15th.
Normally, not such a big deal if something went wrong - except right now where I'm not receiving paycheques (due to not being at work for a month).
Soooo, that money was needed to cover my loan, my mortgage, my rent and a couple bills and when it still wasn't there today and things were beginning to bounce left right and center, I was getting a bit worried.
I call my bank. Tell them the money will be there tomorrow. They say 'okay'. I'll still have to pay the penalties but they won't return any of it.
I email the management company and ask them what's up.
Apparantly the accountant's mother died and she'll be back on Friday to deposit everything.
What can I say to that, really, without being a total hag?
Okay, no worries - I can pull a bunch of money off a credit card and cover it all till Friday.
I go to the bank. Get money. Go to deposit money. All good.
Except the machine won't accept my deposit.
Fortunately, the credit union is still open so I ask the teller why I can't deposit to MY credit union like I normally do.
She tells me that, for some INSANE reason, credit unions in Alberta and Saskatchewan can no longer be deposited to from anywhere in Western Canada.
Must not have occurred to them to let anyone know.
So, there I was, money in my hand to cover the bouncing balls (due to no fault of mine, I might add) and no way to get it into my bank account.
Again, I ask you, do you know ANYONE with a life like this? Should I marry them? Would that cancel it out, do ya think? Is it karma? Was I a serial killer or a politician in my last life? What's the deal? Am I supposed to be learning patience? Was I born under a bad star?
These are the questions that consume me.
well she says life sucks it's the truth I mean
