meh....

it's been a day...

I really HATE when my agency books my clients sooo close together that I only have time to drive from one to the other....

I ended up working 9-530 with no break at all except for the 25 min drive between clients. I'm so glad I thought to make a sandwich. However, my last client took an hour longer than scheduled and I did not make it to the bank. Which means, I have no money and I'm driving on fumes as it is. I'm too tired to make anything substantial for dinner so I'm having tater tots.

I'm actually too tired to be too vehement about any of this. I want a shower and my fucking jammies..stat.

Ohhh yes and being late at the client's meant driving home in 5 o'clock traffic in a torrential down pour. Yay.fucking.me. Time for a beer by golly...

AND

I totally forgot that today was one of two days a MONTH that I work near a dunkins and I already got coffee and it'll be 2 weeks now before I'm back out there...sigh...the universe hates me. At least I didn't put laundry out before I left for work.....yippeee

Mother freaking nature

Best not to even get me started today, lol.
 

It's been a particularly rant-worthy week and while I typically would happily indulge those of you who enjoy that sort of thing (ahem - I'm talking to you, COLLETTE :winky:), I'm already a few gasses of pearl sake in tonight and I have strict rules about posting while under the influence.

Too bad because I feel a rambling manifesto...lol, I mean a "Pulitzer Prize winning piece of literature" coming on!

:readfineprint:

I've long suspected that my former roommate kept a key to the house...I have come home and noticed things that were just "off".

Well....

He finally came and got some of his things out of his old room and I wanted to test the theory. I locked BOTH doors and he got in just fine. I asked his girlfriend about it and she said the back door wasn't latched all the way....ohhh reallyyyy.

SO they came back a second day for more stuff....and I DOUBLE checked the door and made sure it was latched. They STILL made it in. Today, I came home and my TV was on a channel I never use....

Hmmmm

My landlord is changing the locks tomorrow. One of the reasons I Know he's been here is because he smokes in the house and I can smell it when I walk in.

SOOO NOT COOL.

The fact she cant/wont be honest with me.. Is the truth so hard..

My great grand boss just offered me a $7K bonus to do about 300K worth of work. Do they think I am just stupid?!?

Her attitude about a topic we discussed.

well....

I've had a certain cell phone provider forever...and I've found their customer service severely lacking so I decided to look elsewhere.

My friend suggested a provider called Cricket so I googled and sure enough they are in Asheville. Yesterday I went after work to Tunnel Rd to find the place and drove up and down, to and fro and never found it. Went home and found out it was actually SOUTH Tunnel Rd...doh..

Sooo....

Today after work I went up and down SOUTH Tunnel Rd...to and fro....Never saw it. It occurred to me they may be at the mall. I went in and checked their map. No Cricket. Asked a cashier at Sears. She said they had a kiosk in Best Buy down by Penneys. Drove down there (since my poodle was with me) ask at Penneys where the Best Buy was. She tells me Best Buy is the next Mall down the road. :|

In my car again to look for Best Buy. The phone person is busy but I saw no Cricket signs anyway.....sooo I ask at customer service...they say they don't have a Cricket kiosk...but there is a small Best Buy mobile...where? At.the.MALL...

BACK in my car finally find the kiosk in the mall...I'm waiting in line..both the employees are busy. A woman randomly walks in and one of the guys leaves his customer to help her. :| I had been waiting there like 10 minutes...never.said.a.word. Apparently I look like a less viable customer...

They ALSO had no information about Cricket ANYWAY so I up and took my unviable ass out of there. 2 hours of my life. Wasted....

Traffic.....you people are idiots! You are stupid, inconsiderate, disrespectful and a danger to society and yourself. And Im not leaving the house the rest of the weekend!

Well...

I've been waiting for 2 weeks for my landlord to put in an overhead light in my bedroom....

He planned it and never showed several times. Each time he SAID he was going to be here to do it I prepared my bed by covering it in the big plastic bag that I got my mattress in....

so....

He comes by today. Unannounced, unexpected and finally puts the light in. He had told me not to worry about my bed, that there would be no mess.

I found small pieces of debris here and there...no big deal...but THEN I found what looks like bbq sauce on the edge of my coverlet. It is huge. I'm going to have to take it to the laundromat and it will have to visit the dryer...which I hate using....

Sigh (w)

Her attitude as of late but I chalk it up to stress.

My boss announced today that we would begin coming in at 6 am starting Monday. This crew has worked 5-2 for the last 3 years. I have been starting work at 5 am since 1994.

I know it sounds silly that this pisses me off, but that one hour makes a big difference in what time we actually get off. We are never guaranteed to get off at 2pm. If we work 9 hours and get off at 3 we are stuck in school traffic for 30 minutes of stop and go traffic before we get to the crossroads. If we get off at 4 we get tangled up in the other industrial plants traffic, which isn't as bad as the school traffic. If we work until 5 well everyone knows about 5 oclock traffic. And here is the kicker, if we have to work 12 hours and work 6 am to 6 pm, that sucks all the way around. In winter you go to work in the dark and go home in the dark. In summer ya don't get home until 7 pm and there isn't much time for doing outside stuff mowing gardening canning etc before it is time to eat dinner, shower and go to bed.

I don't know it just messes up my "norm" for the past 21 yrs. I don't do well with change, unless it is change for the better and there is no reason given for this change. OK I'm done ranting now.

Now what really pissed me off

While looking around the yard for eggs I turned over an old doghouse lid and a wasp got after me. I killed the little monster but not before he stung the bejesus out me. On the wrist, sore as a muther duck feels like his stinger went to the bone. But guess what? There will be NO MORE wasp nest on the property tomorrow.

Pissed me off and well ummm almost made me cry but don't tell nobody cuz, big boys don't cry big boys don't cry LOL

Pompous, arrogant, and unfriendly *dare I say it* humans?

The goddamned not-quite-a-mosquito-but-definitely-something-in-that-genus that keeps relentlessly landing on me everywhere and biting me to shreds!

Bastard just got me good at least 4 times.

My relaxing tea interlude is definitely over now. I'm on the warpath; this bug must die.

I use a reusable bag for shopping...it's Asheville...every one does...

WELL...

I get to the checkout and take everything out of said bag
and put it on the counter and hand the cashier the bag.

He asks if I want my stuff in the bag....I didnt bring it for nuttin :blink:

I say yes please and he replies "great. I can just handle everything 6 times"

REALLY??? I always offer to bag my own stuff. He said no...I'm doing something good for the planet. All you have to do is NOT BITCH!!

*end rant*

Well...

I decided I really hate getting a nasty styrofoam cup when I get sweet tea at McDs...

So I took my big tall Patriots cup in and ordered a large tea and said I didnt need a cup...the kid behind the counter told me I needed to pour tea into a styrofoam cup THEN pour it into MY cup... :seeingstars:

I told him that defeated the purpose...duh....

So his manager says its fine...the spigots for the tea sit way up...they wont touch my cup anyhow...

I finally get over to the tea station after debating congress and theres a lady replenishing lids etc...she sees my cup and tells me I cant use it. I tell her the manager said I could...she then tells me Im going to have to pay for the tea...no really??

I tell her Ive paid already and she mumbles something....

Im trying to do a good thing here folks!!! Frick and frack....

*end rant*
