Sprint sucks

I can finally use my phone now after two and a half weeks. I called customer service yesterday and he at first acted like there was nothing he could do. I spent a few minutes getting ethnic on him, he put me on hold for a few minutes, then he was more that willing to help me out and give me credit. Now that Sprint is merging with Nextel, I wonder how things will change. Actually, my phone is still acting a little funny. My brother just called and said the phone rung like 6 times before I picked it up on the first ring. Tmobile is looking better everyday.......

More babble

Life has been boring these days. Probably because i'm working alot and sleeping any other time. At least I'm wanting a new hobby of sewing, I dont know why.

My phone still doesnt work. Today makes two weeks of my non-service at home. But I can send/receive calls in digital roam, which I won't be paying for either. My landlord still hasnt contacted me at all. I've seen him on a couple of occasions (he's seen me too) and he acts like I have AIDS or something. Oh well.

Just Babble....

So today makes day 5 of screwy phone service at home. I went to the sprint store, and I was told there was trouble with a cell tower away from me. Well, That was Wednesday, today is Saturday, and I still can't call anybody. I'm glad there isn't a raving lunatic breaking down my door to kill me right now. They WILL give me a new phone when I get back up there.

My landlord has made himself scarce from me. Monday morning I went and dropped of a letter to him, basically stating that I need to know his billing methods and asking him to show me this and my water meter. I walked right past him on the way to drop the letter off, and he pretty much looked right through me. I also went to the post office and sent him a certified letter, which I know he received the very next day. I wanted to take a jab at him about his nasty personal comment he left in his letter, but the lady at the Consumer Protection Agency warned me against that. I'll see what happens when I pay my rent next week. I'll put it in the door as I always do because I don't want to look at his snaggle tooth ass.

Another pissy day in progress

I"m glad I don't have like some dire emergency going on, because if I did I'd be totally screwed. For over four hours now, my cellphone has been screwed. No particular reason. It's been "looking for service" since a little after noon. No calls in, no calls out. I had to walk to the store before the phone would work. The freaky part is there is a tower right across the fucking street. I'm sorry, but I'm not walking a mile just to use my damn phone, I pay these bastards enough to get more than the song and dance they are giving me right now. This is bullshit!!!!

WTF do you take me for???

My landlord is a bonafied dickhead. Plain and simple. This whole water bill saga has taken an ugly turn. A little background: I've lived in this hole-in-the-wall since June of '03. When I signed the initial lease, the water bill is included. When I renewed in '04 the water was included. A short time after renewal, all the tenants go a note on the door telling us we will start paying water bill. Like hell I will. So it has gone unpaid. He can't cut my water off because there's only one meter to the building. He gets one bill then splits it among the residents in the building. That's bullshit. So fast forward to today. I get home to a letter with a personal threatening tone. I found out I'm not the only one.

On the bottom of the delinquency letter:
This is your final advisory concerning your grosly overdue water bill. If you do not pay your bill, the home office has directed me to extricate you from the dwelling. Personally, I am sick and tired of your disrespect concerning this matter, and your eviction will be one that gives me great satisfaction. The choice is your's. Keep it up!

Mind you, his spelling and punctuation needs a little work. I typed that letter for letter. There is no home office. This property is owned by two men. You can't "extricate" me from the dwelling for a water bill. You can't meter split either. He will very soon realize that he's fucking with the right one. Yea, I'm gonna keep it up alright!!!!! Revenge is oh so sweet, and it will be a dish served cold. Fuck you Pete!!!

This is NOT funny anymore.....

Maybe I missed something this morning, but for some reason, the remote control to my TV is missing. There is only two places that remote will be: right next to me, or in/near the bed. I've searched the whole place and it's nowhere to be found. I can't blame the cat this time. And the more fucked up part about it is that this TV needs a remote to change the channel, I can't go up or down on it at all. So I guess until I buy another one i'll be stuck with MTV....

update: I CAN blame it on the cat. I was about to plug in my TV tuner to the computer, moved the stand and there the remote sat....and this is one of Buttercup's hiding/pouncing spots. There's no way that it could have fell in that spot or been kicked there. She will be punished >:-|

Do females fart?

You bet your ass they do haha

But it's not "sunshine and kittens" as some women want to believe. And to set the record straight, I've farted. Had some room-clearing varieties, but it's only nature. Hold it in and it'll kill ya

What a shitty day

sorry if that's strong, but it's so true. My week has been bad, but today brought me to tears for so many reasons. for the last week my car has had some sort of problems, and depending who I ask it can be a simple or complex problem. It cranks but won't stay running, it sputters. To start, someday in the near future I will get some new plugs and wires, fuel filter and some fuel injection cleaner hoping it will help. Lord knows I don't need to be without a car. But i sat for 4 1/2 hours in the hot blazing sun. I got a tow to come thanx to roadside rescue with my cellphone. The guy gives me some gas, but then he leaves!! So I have to call back and wait almost another 2 hours for the second pass. I used two of my roadside calls for the same damn issue. Pricks.

The job is still a pain in the ass. Actually it's not the job, it's the management. They are making my environment right for going postal. I don't even want to get into it.

Then there's the living situation at my grandmother's. The house is owned by my uncle, my grandmother's brother. She's 93 and has a feeding tube, she really isn't doing all that great, so my mother lives there with her to help care for her in a home she's known for more years that I've been alive. Well it seems that he (or somebody) has a problem with her being there, so HE suggests she move and take grandma with her or put her in a nursing home. WTF?!??!?! can she not stay there in her home? are you kicking the both of them out? It surprised me to hear my uncle talk like this and some of the other things he said I just couldnt believe it.

then there's the job. Actually I dont even want to get into it either. My life is just a total mess right now I can't even think straight. It's just a mess

Election Day is here

I know it's early, but it looks like we are doomed for another 4 years. I cant remember following an election with so much controversy behind it. It just feels like a huge scam

Election 2004

I will be soooooooo glad when this election is over. Right now, every commercial is a campaign ad for someone or something. I'm sick of it. The mudslinging of course, but alot of dirty stuff too. Websites are being knocked offline due to DDOS attacks. Prank emails are plentiful (I received an email telling democrats to vote on Wednesday). Alot of "who will you vote for" polls are being spammed with bogus votes. It's crazy. You can read about it here.

Funny Stuff

I think I have a new favorite show on TV is. I was in love with Boiling Points, altho I havent caught an episode lately, but I'm watching Motormouth on VH1, and this is hilarious. In the future, I have to be very careful what I do in my car ;-)

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

She made it another year, and now she's been in this world for 93 years!!

Love you Grandma :-)

Like WTF??!?

I have a serious problem with THIS. Why do we give a shit about this asshole's health? Here's my suggestion.....open up his chest cavity, load him with dynamite and live grenades, close him up, toss him in a mine field.

And I bet we're picking up the tab for it too >:-|

OMFG

I didn't know cats actually EAT squirrels!!! They chase them all day long and never ever catch them, I'm walking up the stairs to go into my apartment and one of the (many) strays was chowing down on a dead squirrel!!!

:-x

Mount St. Helens is waking up again!

Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam

I was 9 when this thing erupted and I was living in Seattle at the time. I was sooooo scared when it happened, and watching the news and getting info where ever I can has me a little shaky again. They say it won't be anything like what happened 24 years ago, but you never know. Mother nature is sure angry right now!

What a totally PISSY day

Why does everything have to happen at the same time? First I'm STILL having to deal with this damn hurricane in a way I didn't expect. Today I decided I'd wash a few loads of clothes and rest a while before going back to work tonite. First, after all the rain, it got in the door of my car and has messed something up. I literally have to break into my own car because the thing does "catch" to let me open the door. So after going thru the motions for 15 minutes to break into my car, I go to the ATM and get some money. No problem there. Well maybe except the idiot that decided to walk right in front of me as I inserted my card. So I goto Family Dollar to get some laundry detergent and deoderant. I walked that damn store for maybe 15 minutes looking for it. They have freight and L-carts of freight all over the place. A lawsuit waiting to happen. The lady looked at me twice and turned to finish talking to her friend about her trifling boyfriend. So having an ethnic moment I say with much attitude "damn do you sell deoderant????" "oh it's over there.....so girl, I told his ass I'm going over to that bitch house......" I get my deoderant from the measly selection and quickly pay and leave. I'm still so pissed from all the action that I passed right by the damn store to get cigarettes. And I was gonna quit today too.....

So now I get home and load up my clothes. My neighbor stops me and says "you know they went up on the price on the dryers to $1.50". I'm thinking great, rape us some more. Then she says that instead of an hour, her clothes stopped drying at 30 minutes. WTF?!?!?!? It takes an hour to dry clothes in those thimble-sized dryers, so it's now really $3 fucking dollars to dry my damn clothes. So now he makes us pay water bills.....at damn near $30 a month. That's just from taking a daily shower, no washer and dryer, and a kitchen faucet that gets fixed every two weeks. I'm holding out so hard from calling him and telling those deadbeat ass fuckers to kiss my shitty ass!!!!

I guess the only solace I have is sitting here with a cat sitting...or shall I say laying down on my shoulder fast asleep. I guess it's better than her standing on my shoulder with her butt in my face >:-|

One of many downed trees in my area. This is in a yard behind my grandmother's house. It was open a little from Frances, Jeanne finished it off. 

I survived Jeanne

Well I can say that it wasn't as bad as I thought. Power went off about 8:20am Sunday morning as expected. The funny part about that was I was talking to someone on AIM, and was like "yea I'm just waiting for the power to go out"....10 seconds later *POOF*. Power finally came back on about 4pm today (Monday). When the power went out the storm was in the neighboring county to the east, the rain had been going for a few hours and the wind was picking up. I just sat at the desk and watched this huge oak tree sway back and forth. It scared me enough to where I made myself an area in the closet and got some sleep. It got hot so I ended up in the bed. It was still cool in the house so it wasnt bad. I ended up working lastnite which wasnt bad, I didnt have to sit in the dark at home. some minor damage there, the mesh covering in the garden center was ripped off and that's about it. I've lost all my food in the fridge again so that's something I have to work with. When I drove to my mother's house, you can go down any given road and see downed tree limbs, here and there some huge trees are uprooted. Polk county got it really bad (again).

I never realized how important having electricity is to me (and internet)

I'm getting sick of this.

The storm has not made a north turn yet, so the newest advisory has it coming right over my head, the exact path of Frances. This is just too much I swear. And OMG it's still a cat2!!!

It's that time AGAIN

I'm getting bloody sick of all these hurricanes. The store closed early tonite and we were expected to work until around midnite or so, but the store manager got us out of there before 11:30pm without even finishing cleaning up. Still amazing that customers are pissed about it. It's getting windy with minimal rain. I think I'll sleep now simply because I may not be able to in a few hours.
