Why can't I just do everything?!

Life would be much easier if I could just do everything myself and not have to count on people.
Over the weekend I came up with a few questions for our lender, since we are technically going to be borrowing money from Scott's parents - even though it is only a short-term loan. So this morning I called the lender and asked her a series of questions, one of them being "so, when will our rate be locked in?" I was expecting something along the lines of "oh, you are already locked in, so you have nothing to worry about." Instead I got this answer, "well, whenever Drees sends over the signed contract." WHAT?! It isn't signed by Drees yet?? Scott and I had to sign it before March 1st, so we rushed around and got everything done, and now it is March 7th and it still isn't signed?
The lender then stated that the rates have increased from 5% to 5.25% over the weekend, so we would be stuck with an extra quarter of a percent. When I sounded a little irritated she just said "well, it is only a quarter of a percent." Ummm...really? Really? REALLY? I wanted to say, "well, since it's only a quarter of a percent, you can pay it. For thiry years." I didn't though...I just remained as calm as I could.
Truth be told there really is no reason to get worked up over this again, I did get everything resolved, and we are locked in at 5%, but I just thought I'd record this in the journey.
I am already ready for my weekend...and it's days like this that I'm so glad I only work 2.5 days a week! I am ready to start working the other 2.5 days from home though....GRR!!!
