Numbskull; A stupid or foolish person.

I am actually still in a bit of shock at my STUPIDITY this morning.

Today was the first day the public were able to book your Radio One Hackney Weekend tickets. Having registered a couple of months ago I had set an alarm in my phone to remind myself.

I came cluttering down the stairs at about 10am, armed with my Laptop, my purse, my phone and my charger(s). I rather preparedly opened up all the necessary windows onto my desktop - i.e. email confirmation, Radio One website, email with link and ticket information etc.

I grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat there waiting patiently.

11am .... GO! the race was on. Only 25,000 tickets were allocated for each day and I was on a mission.

Suddenly.... an Error message. Something to do with my I.P address. WHAT THE FRICK DOES THAT MEAN??? WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY I.P ADDRESS???? WHAT'S AN I.P ADDRESS??


After ALOT of copying and pasting and refreshing... for about an hour. I FINALLY made it through to the Holding page..... after even more refreshing I was on the 'ENTER YOUR REGISTRATION DETAILS AND SELECT DAY' page. GOD THIS WAS EXCITING, I WAS GOING TO MAKE ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!! SURELY IT WAS A HOME RUN FROM HERE.


I entered all the relevant registration details, chose my day, completely buzzing for my free tickets. And BAM. Back to the holding page. WHAT THE FUCK???? The injustice of it all.


Reluctantly, I took a look at Facebook to see if anyone else had had any luck.

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

In frantic urgency I decided to 'double' my chances by using the phone line as well as the website.

This list goes on for about another 2 pages on my phone.....


NOTHING


Suddenly, the website page refreshed again.... I WAS THROUGH. After 2 hours I was finally going to get my tickets. I scrolled down, all my registration info was still there. Perfect. Scrolled down a bit further to select my day.

"Saturday: SOLD OUT."
"Sunday: SOLD OUT".

Somebody hates me. 


At this point I admitted defeat and resorted to wallowing in my own self pity by checking out the ecstatic statuses that were ready to greet me on Facebook.

But it wasn't until I saw this next status from Ross that something clicked in my brain, quite literally like a light switch.........

"23rd June...23rd June..... why is that date ringing a bell? What am I doing on that day??"
"Oh god what is it??"

OH shut up.....

SO there you go.


I wasted my entire morning REFRESHING websites and listening to hideous 'hold' music and for WHAT???? 


Don't get me wrong. I am hideously excited for my Canadian adventure. Just wish I had used my BRAIN before partaking such a mind numbing task all morning.
