Vacuuming -- Check. Steam cleaning floors -- Check. Laundry -- Check. Yummy supper of green salad with crispy skin salmon fillet made -- Check. Tickets to a local artists concert -- Fail. Now, to be honest, the fail was not on my part but the silly software program of the box office. It would not let me login without first resetting my password. Why? Who knows. Once that was completed, I updated my profile page with the new address. Then I went to pay for the tickets and the software did not hold in its tiny brain that the two seats it was holding were the ones I had chosen. I waited 15 minutes for the system to release the seats. It made me login again. Then took me to the page with the two seats held for me. I completed the all payment steps and it refused to process the sale. There was a cryptic message noting that the order was refused due to 'not honoured' -- whatever the heck that means. Some 40 minutes late, I called my friend and asked if she could try to purchase the seats. If that doesn't work, the box office won't be open for phone calls or drop ins until Monday. This show generally sells out quickly in a theatre with 222 seats. AAACCCKKK. <grin> UPDATE: after three tries, my friend managed to secure tickets. YAY! I still think that some feedback is needed to the box office. Buying tickets should be a smooth process.
All in all, its been a fairly productive day. A lot of physical activity involved, too. The show will be a tribute to the singer highlighted here tonight. The title line came to mind and just seemed to fit my mood after the argument with the software. <grin> Keep safe. Enjoy!
