MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN What a day! The football gaming Gods don't want me to join this league! Here's how my day went:
I start by waking up at 4am to the news that my mom was taken to the hospital via ambulance. No one knows where the hell because my sister forgot to ask. After calling hospitals near her area, we finally find out where she is and off I go! I get there and the hospital isn't willing to release any info at the moment. They'll confirm that she's there, but I'm not allowed to see her. So, we wait. A few hours later, we're allowed to see her. We see her for a min, then they cart her off to do some tests and run a cat scan. We wait some more. Then, we're told she's gonna be there for a long time and that we might as well go home and eat or something. So, I come home right quick just to join the league and go back. To my dismay, the disc doesn't work! I blame my shitty replacement 360, but then I try another game and it works. Another game; that works too. Then, I try APF and it doesn't. I bought this crap online, so returning it would mean waiting forever.
I go back to the hospital and wait some more, then the nurse tells us that she's gonna be admitted and that she's sleeping and she's out like a light because of the meds, so it'll be a while. They update us on the situation. She's fine; it was nothing, but they wanna run some tests since...well, long story. Since there's nothing I can do and she's fine, I decide to sneak out for a bit.
I call like every blockbuster in a 10 mile area and no one has it. Finally, I strike gold and find one that does. I call another just in case and they say they have one too. I go to the first one and he points me to a dude walking out the door...with the last copy. I drive over to the other one. I get there and the dude says they have one behind the counter. HUZZAH! ...but my BB card is too old so I have to get a new one...fine, whatever! I take the form and I hand him my ID/CC. Halfway through the process, he notices a typo in my ID (it says I'm older than I actually am...no big) and he says I can't sign up. As if I'm gonna start a Blockbuster fraud ring or something. I storm out the door and head to Best Buy which is waaaay out of the way at this point.
I arrive at BestBuy, grab the game, head to the register and see the biggest line ever. Fast forward 5 years and I'm at the front. I try to buy it with my card and it says my pin is wrong. I have to go and get some cash. -_- I go to the bank and take out some money (using the ID that the all mighty blockbuster wouldn't take, btw) and go back. I plop down the 65 bucks, grab the game and head out the door. I race home.
I fight with the wrapping paper for a bit, then open it. Finally! PSYCH!!! THERE'S NO GAME!!! That's right, all there is in there is a manual and the ticket for music. I hear the Price Is Right fail trumpets in the background. I race all the way back to Best Buy and I see the dude that sold me the game. I walk up to him (there's absolutely NO line at this point btw) and tell him there was no game and I want to speak to a manager. He directs me to customer service with a look of disbelief before joking to his buddy "You take this one haha!" I go over to CC and basically, they say they don't believe me and I say they better! A minute of awkward stares later, I get a replacement.
I open it there just to make sure, then I race back home. I meticulously create my team after posting this:
Making my team right now! I'll regale you guys with the story of how my shitty day went later!
Then, after I'm done and I go on the live portion, it freezes on me. Just then, I get a call telling me that my mom won't be admitted afterall and I need to drive down there and pick her up. My sis is there, but my mom can't walk due to an injury and she literally needs someone to pick her up. I just stare at my frozen 360 wanting to punch it in the power button, but I restrain myself and head out to pick her up.
I pick her up, drop her off at her house, carry her up stairs and drop off her Rx at the pharmacy. My sis says she'll pick it up. I come back home to try again and the friggin' thing deleted my team!!! ****! So, I recreate the players I needed carefully, but I just randomize the bronze because I'm holding you guys up. I get on and I finally sign in. So yeah, I'm signed in.... And now I'm heading back out. "Parker luck" in full effect.
