Eeeeagh or Sleeping Lots

There have been a few annoyances piling up lately, nothing too serious, but enough to get me slightly ticked off. The first of which comes from paypal. A while ago, I shipped something that I sold for Ryan on Ebay to Italy. It was much cheaper to use Surface Mail, which the buyer agreed. The buyer filed a claim that he never received the item and paypal refunded his money. The took it out of my account. I let them know that I had proof of shipping (in the form of receipts) but they say that only shipping with a tracking number qualifies. Canada post does not offer tracking numbers on surface mail. Paypal has sent me email threatening to go to a collections agency and whatnot. I sent them a super angry email and said that I wanted to fax in copies of my receipts to prove my story and they finally responded to me and agreed. Hopefully everything will get worked out, as I do not feel that I should have to pay anything when I fulfilled my end of the bargain.
The next small annoyance comes from being shortchanged on my paycheck, but that has happened before and always gets resolved, so I am not worried at all. The third small annoyance comes from the fact that the accounting department at work called me about a check I took in from some customer. Apparently I forgot to mark it on my deposit slip and they wanted to know what I did with it. I said that it was in the envelope to which the lady responded "I guess I'll HAVE to take your WORD for it" implying something. What I would do with a check made out to Greyhound I have no idea, but that was still the implication. This wouldn't bother me at all but the policy at Greyhound is that if you are short in your deposit or float, you have to make up the difference yourself. This wouldn't be a big deal if the company was more organized and not so retardedly inept. I can't and don't have any faith that things run smoothly. I didn't want to sign the sheet agreeing to their policy, but I really had no choice once moving into the Express classification. I'm sure that this will all turn out ok, as I know for a fact that I put the check in the deposit bag.
Other than working and sleeping long hours (like 9-10 hours a day) I've done very little this week. I've done a little writing, watched a few flicks (Requiem for a Heavyweight, Bottle Rocket, and Downfall) and tried to read my monster Encyclopedia of Mythology. This weekend should be interesting as I still don't know what I am working!
