Happy New Year

It has been quite a year. After two and a half years of heard work and missing out on life, I graduated from UoP. Spent the past few months trying to find something better. I am getting sick and tired of working at call centers. I am still working at them. I need to find a better paying job because it doesn't appear that the fiscal cliff is going to be resolved. I developed yet another blog and trying to write about what I think is important. http://edumacationofjenny.wordpress.com/ was written because University of Phoenix was too busy deleting posts that had incriminating evidence of their trickery. Haven't done too many exciting things. Didn't travel because I didn't have enough money nor did anyone want to spend time with me when I had free time. Explored random places near Nampa that I was not aware of. Why does it work that way? I got new stuff installed in the house, which now probably smells like nicotine and THC residue. Lost and found Frank. I broke my computer and need to reformat it so I can begin making DVDs again. Let's see what the new year will bring. New year resolutions are quit biting nails, publish something, and find a different type of job.

Anxiety

It's been a few days since I gave Joseph his right to resolve notice. Things were going okay. Occassionally, I still smell smoke and he keeps the volume high on his television. My hope is that the mortgage people move quickly to re-finance so I can tell him to leave. He stated that he can pay most of the rent in the beginning of the month. I kindly let Bianca pay most of her rent because of the crap he is pulling, her birthday, and a Christmas gift. Tonight, I am at work alone...again. Last night was the same story. One day, two people will call in sick and I have no idea what is going to happen. Someone in the scheduling department is under the impression that only two people can close. They also believe that everyone can have their break at the same time. I also am carefully watching my account. I recently changed my insurance to someone cheaper. The other insurance still withdrew money, which is the reason why I never wanted them to do it in the first place. So, I have to wait for two weeks to receive the refund in a form of a check when they directly withdrew it from my account. Hopefully this refinance thing will work out.

Trouble Maker

What have you been up to? Staying out of trouble? I hope not. I have been busy. The sister had to go to the hospital the other week and was at deaths door. Something was up with her white blood cells. Things seem to be okay at home. I haven't heard much arguing. I have been making a few calls to lower my payments. My auto insurance is finally going to lower. It's about freaking time. I faxed some info to keep my student loan at a reasonable rate. They claim it will be $67 a month. Buy me some time to find a higher paying...never mind. I am in the process of speaking to someone about lowering my house payments. That way if one room mate leaves, I can survive with just one. I'm crossing my fingers to reduce it to about $550 a month. I have been having issues with the evil college. I was invited to some Delta Mu Delta. I wasted my time by going they were snotty and talking about enrolling. I complained to the transitional person about people trying to convince me to enroll. Transitional person response was like, "Ummmm no, we never did." It appears snarky and that she is telling a lie. So, she quit sending me e-mails on available jobs. I have not seen an e-mail since 11/14. I go searching for a better paying job without her assistance. I ended up on a sight advertising college before I could look at any jobs. I said no to every one of them. University of Phoenix is calling my phone the next day and not leaving any messages. An education group called me again. After I told her what a pain in the ass they are, she continues as though I never said anything about this behavior. So, I decided to post it all over Twitter, Wordpress, and the Idaho Statesman. I also posted it on their website and Linkedin. I know how much they hate that and how much they love harrassment. They are watching my blog on Wordpress and my profile on Linkedin. Next is the Attorney General...they are going to hate me after this.

Happy Thanksgiving

Although I am thankful there is a roof over my head, my nerves are a wreck because people cannot get along like adults. If I think about it, when I lived at Rob's house I never got along with the drama queens that moved in and out of the house. Even after I place a lock box on the thermostat, people still tamper it. Even after I put mesh wire on the openings, people mess with it and I end up yelling at one of the room mates for screwing with it. Then he claimed that he never touched it...yep I am sure it is programmed to turn down to 62 degrees. It's never ending. Arguments continued in the morning between the two room mates and one left while forgetting to shut off the oven. My nerves are a mess and I am thankful I stayed home a little longer. I am sure Joseph is contemplating leaving; he doesn't need to be here anyway if he disregards the agreement. I went to dad's house. I saw the step brother for the first time in a while. Him and the sibling are feuding and he left when she arrived. I went to see some puppies. The box had a variety of colors. There were ones with red spots, black spots, brown spots, and tri-color spots. The mom is a terrier mix. Makes me wonder if any of them will have beards soon. I cuddled them for a few minutes and went to enjoy a meal that step-sister's fiance made.

Dark Clouds

If it were up to me, I wouldn't have anyone else living in my house. I think it sounds kind of greedy, but I'm paying quite a bit to live in something that belongs to me. When Joseph first moved in, we agreed that he would smoke outside. He smoked inside often. I didn't do anything because I have been busy. Crap hits the fan and I have an extra bill for the car. So, Joseph and I spoke about the possiblity of having another room mate in the house. So, I have Bianca move in. Again, the only human that responded to my ad. Joseph gives her access to his Netflix. From personal experience with DirecTv, you should not do that. She began watching television on his t.v. He got fed up with it and moved his t.v. to his room. He put a lock on his door without informing me. I get in his face about changing things without talking to me first. He continues to smoke in the house, Bianca starts to complain about because she is allergic. I called him to tell him to stop smoking in the house. Not too long after I told him not to, he was up to it again. I knock on his door to tell him to stop smoking in the house. The next day, I get a text from Bianca telling me he is smoking in the house. I place the agreement he signed on the table. He comes home, he takes a minute to read it and a few minutes later he is confronting me about it. I did not say anything about Bianca sending me a message. He aggressively says that he stopped after I told him. He starts bitching about her hogging his t.v. and bothering him all day. I told him I knew about him smoking in the house. He stated, "That was on the patio." Really? That sure explains one of my glasses being used as an ashtray in his room before she moved in. He also stated the reason he moved in was because I didn't want any other room mates. I repeated the situation with the car and we did discuss this. He text me the next day saying Bianca was knocking on his door and claimed he was not smoking. Big childish game happening. I think that she is going to move out, I think what he is doing is deliberate and I will evict him if she moves. Last night, Bianca slammed her door. I went out to get some food and Joseph was in the living room acting all innocent. He asked me about the slamming door, she yells at him about his television being too loud. He apologizes and then chuckled. These two are older than me for crying out loud. I have already spoke to them about getting along. I have confronted them. I have to wait and see what happens in December.

Shopping

Last night, I was shopping in my sleep. I was shopping at some flea market that had crafts. Rocky was there shopping with me. I suppose we were shopping for gifts. We approached the sales person to buy some object. The lady was being rude and saying that Rocky could not write her a check. He had those checks you have to fill the address in on. We observe that the lady is writing out receipts and procede to argue with the lady that she writes on receipts instead of printing them. As we argue with her, she smirks and ignores what we are saying. This was around the time I woke up.

Happy Bhai Dooj!

Time for me to call my sibling...at a more decent time.

Tis The Season

I wonder if holiday feasts will still exist in the future. I have never in my life cooked for any special occassion. I did try to throw a Halloween party, but failed. Nobody will come to my house for anything let alone ask me to go have fun with them. The only people that invite me anywhere are my parents. I would like to, just once, create a feast. I'm a good cook; I like cooking. It would be an excellent menu. I want lamb, it's been such a long time since I had lamb. The last time I had some was for Easter at Aunt Sherry's house. I would make some Flinstone dip and stuffed mushrooms. I want to make that awesome chunky cranberry sauce with pineapples, apples, and coconut. I would also have some excellent items such as green bean casserole and sweet potatoes covered in brown sugar and marshmallows. Maybe some pumpkin pie, but I'm not really a pie fan. I do like key lime pie and marion berry pie. My finances my not be able to purchase any lamb, but I can't help thinking about how much I would like to prepare a feast and have guests arrive. I haven't had a house warming party since I moved into my house. I want to have an end of the world party on 12/21/12. It would be fun to have a zombie themed party near Christmas.

Thinking

Many things occur to make the thoughts roll. Sometimes when I enter a restaurant, I smell coffee. The smell reminds me of the summers I spent at grandma and grandpa Maughan's house. Then I start thinking of the cheesy carpet in the kitchen and Aunt Paula making me my first Cup-O-Noodles. It goes on and on, she gave me all kinds of interesting relics from the 60's. More memories of my childhood have lurked around in my mind. I have been listening to a ton of Neil Diamond. I think of all those trips to Silver Creek laying on a pile of quilts in the hatch back area of the car. My brother and I lay on our backs as the sun warmed the windows. Neil Diamond played on the walkman. Occassionally, mom would push a button on the walkman to talk to us. Sometimes I wonder where that walkman is. I think I found it once. It was stashed away in a pile of bills in the cupboards at dad's house. The funny thing about that is that I found an old tape that I made a long time ago that had my long lost favorite songs on it. I still have that tape.

What in the World?

Checking In

Last week, I get a call first thing in the morning. They were going to come in and replace the furnace. The job took all day. When they were done, all of the fire alarms went off. It was fun. More changes are to come I assume. I know that one of the room mates has been smoking in the house. It is on the rules and he signed it. I haven't addressed it because I am exhausted. The new room mate has complained that he has been smoking in the house. I told him to knock it off. If I get another complaint, I will have to review the rules with him. There is also a rule to not touch the furnace, they mess with the furnace. I am seriously considering placing a code on it to lock them out. Today was a busy day. I didn't get anything done last week. So, I was playing catch up. Dad came over and helped me repair the fence. The tree in the back is bending the fence. I tried to rake the backyard and I feel like there is a bigger mess than last year. I have been hanging out with Athena. I'm taking baby steps to get back into a social life. My man visited us at the bar which was a little shocking because he doesn't like the bar. Maybe, just maybe everyone else will meet him. We shall see.

Never Gets Old

When It Rains it Pours

Within the past five months, I practically bought a new car. I had to get my water heater replaced. Around the same time the water heater was replaced, the modem for my Internet broke. Centurylink does not replace your modem for free even if you upgrade your service. Qwest used to do that. Now, I am renting a modem because I did not want to spend another $80. Then when I resolved that issue, the furnace broke. I have been up since 9:00 AM trying to get this fixed. Two guys from weatherization were here and then I waited for a few hours for another heating person. He said that the furnace needs to be replaced. I'm too scared to fix anything else because I think other crap will break. If I have to get anything gas related fixed again, it will be too soon.

Smooosh!

Last night, after four years, Alanis Morissette visited Idaho once again. I liked the fact that she was at the Knitting Factory because I could stand next to the stage. The concert was great because I still had my hearing after the show. The bad part was the fact that there is a bar and most of the audience were maniacs. All of the tall people wanted to be in the front of the audience while us shorter people kept on shuffling around to watch the concert. I was happy to see her again. It's been a rough few months.

Also This Month

The long awaited remake of Frankenweenie is coming up! I have the original version, but it is on a special edition of Nightmare Before Christmas. It stars Shelly Duvall, Daniel Stern, and that boy from Neverending Story Barret Oliver. I think that the original is really sweet. In case you are wondering, that is where I got Frank's name. His original name was Frankenstein. I changed his name to Frankenweenie.

Still Busy

Hopefully, this will not be a month where everything is happening. I should have everything done. Right now, I wait for a call for a follow up from last months ailment. I don't know if I am still sick. I want to get things done today. Frank needs to be groomed. Dino's home needs to be cleaned. I thought of a cool idea for his tank. I need something that will hang on the side of the tank and hold a platform for Dino to bask on. I have no idea where I will find something like that. I found a bigger tank for $175. I also need something to hold a turtle tank. I have been looking for a very sturdy coffee table. Very sturdy. I noticed a ton of cool stuff coming up, but I don't know if I will go. Art in the Bar is happening at the Knitting Factory this Saturday. It is going on til midnight; I might go after work. Alanis Morrisette is coming Monday and I got my ticket. Zombie tag is taking place downtown Boise on 10/27. Again, I have to work. I want to change my schedule so I can do things on the weekend. This was made virtually impossible. The schedule went completely out of control at work. I chose to work night because I can't stand getting up in the morning. It has come to the point that I am looking for a new job. I have asked to be able to do a task and I am being blatantly ignored. Needless to say, two times a week we are fucked. The science fiction story is coming along nice. I am barely where I want to be and it's about 30 pages already. This may take up two notebooks...we shall see. I am eliminating most of the games on Facebook. It is nothing but lag and more levels and more tasks that mean nothing. Do I get paid to complete these tasks, no. Do I have enough Internet speed to play them, no. Little by little, I delete them and get on with my life. I have things to do around the house. I have to take care of myself. I have to take care of my animals. I have to get a man in my life who is not a douche bag.I have to get my social life back. Yes, I am still having a hard time going out there and keeping friends or making friends.

Stickers

I was sitting at Dutch Brothers today and began thinking about stickers. The thoughts began to ramble. If I think about it, I have always loved stickers. I try to grab as many free stickers as possible and I stick them all over my car. It seems to be a nice car, but it's an SUV and I think stickers belong on them. Another place you can get a free sticker is the Record Exchange. You can get them when you get a piercing or a tattoo. Then I began to think about my childhood. I think that every time I turned around, I was getting a sticker book. At school, if I was good I got a sticker as a reward. I had all kind of them. I had puffy, fuzzy, and scratch and sniff. I think I still have that sticker book. The book was split into different catagories such as sparkly, pretty, and ugly. When you look at my car, it may be confusing. I also have free bumper stickers from Showtime on my car. One is from Weeds and it says "It's 4:20 somewhere." I know what it means and no, I don't smoke weed. I may be removing some stickers such as the Showtime stickers and the ones that are peeling. I am debating whether I should put more stickers on the car...I might because I want some UoP stuff on my car. I'm paying a ton of money to attending, I may as well.

Coming This Canadian Thanksgiving...

Yes, I know it's Thanksgiving because I use to have Canadians on my team. October 8th is the day and it will be at the Knitting Factory. I think it is funny because people will gripe about the cost. Think about this...it was $68 last time she was here and it didn't matter what seat you chose. What makes this concert better: it's not only $20 cheaper, there is a bar and you can sit where the hell you please. I went to see Filter at Knitting Factory and I was close enough to be splashed by his bottled water. I already missed Nora Jones, I will not miss Alanis!

Not Going to be Here Forever

One day I will pass away. It is not a happy thought, but it is one of those thoughts that occur every once in a while. For the past two funerals, I have noticed that death is a financial burden. I don't know how the whole thing works. When my Aunt Sherry passed away, there wasn't enough money for services. I think that dad said that the state would pay for it if the family could not. Sherry, another friend of the family, passed away this past week. The whole situation is complicated because of money. I am certain that there are people who do not think of the future in this sense. Most don't want anything, like me. Most have a career goal. Funerals are one of those things you learn from experience because it is one of those finances that people do not talk about in school. I don't have plans for when I die, I know I don't want to be buried because the thought freaks me out. I would prefer cremation and being sprinkled in my favorite places such as Seattle and New York. Maybe sprinkle me in places I have never been like Egypt, Canada, Japan, and London. Get my spirit as misconbobulated as my mind. The funny part about me not having a plan, there is a funeral planning service in the same bay as me...don't ask. The other thought in mind is what am I supposed to do when my parents pass on? Arrangements may have been made, but I don't know what I am supposed to. What am I supposed to do when my sibling passes away? Does he have plans? The question may be bad timing, but it is a topic I think that should be considered at some point.

More Movies from the Library

I checked out Friends With Benefits. I'm not a Justin Timberlake fan, but he is in some interesting movies. This movie is random and funny. Another movie I checked out was Suckerpunch. The movie makes no sense and it sucks. I was shocked to find United States of Tara at the library. That is one of my favorite shows. It was written by the same person who wrote Juno. It is about a mother who has multiple personalities. I haven't really been up to much. Everything happens at the same time. I think it is because of the fact that I have not had time to take care of anything including myself for two years. My water heater broke and I did not have hot water for four days. Two technicians said I need a new one for over $900. I am looking to assistance to see if they can help me before it is too late. I was sick. I had to fight with Primary Health, they are a bunch of jerks. The funny part about this is that the cunt that fired me from DirecTv is working at the one in Nampa. I chewed out the doctor in front of her. He was an antagonistic, arrogant pig. Doctors like that do not deserve a job and are the ones that are trying to make a sale on expired prescription drugs. My science fiction story is moving along pretty good, I have not got to the interesting thought I have in mind. Stay tuned.

The Stupidity

That Quiet Place

I have been trying everything I can to do what is free. I re-discovered the library. Somehow it was long lost, but it still exists. Most people say that you cannot find anything there. Well, if you want to conduct research I noticed the library lacks information. Strange. I have found interesting movies and they have television series. I found a couple of good flicks. One was Beginners. It's an adorable film with Ewan McGreggor and a terrier. It's about a guy who seems to be rebuilding his life after the death of his parents. He meets this girl, who in the beginning is mute. I adore the film! Then I checked out Crazy Heart and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I still shop for movies, I keep my eyes peeled for stuff that is cheap. I found the first and second season of 3rd Rock From the Sun for $4 a piece. I have been bartering books and music. I had a great trade and received Abby Road by the Beatles. For the most part, I have been trying to stay home. I can't help but leave the house because I hate being inside all of the time. Stuff keeps falling apart. The faucet in the kitchen needed a new piece. The bathtub drain is really slow, I used an entire bottle of Draino and it is still slow. I have to wait until payday. I also have to wait until payday to change the oil, but my car is insisting on changing the oil. I reduced my bills by $10. I became a Cricket customer. Their service seems to work great in my house. Sprint told me that I would not pay an early termination fee. If they do charge me, I will have a nice long talk with BBB...again. If only I can change the fuel service on my car for something cheaper...

Sometimes I Wonder How I Do It

Right now my mind is a little numb. Little by little, I have been cleaning up the house. Today, I was organizing my room. It fascinates me how long I tolerated the bullshit in my house. I have not found anymore pills in the house. This is good because that was driving me nuts. The other thing that was driving me to drink were the cigarette butts. I find those at random. There is a pile of them under the fridge. Supposedly, my house was a mess and he tidied it up...it is clean now that I had an opportunity to clean up the place. The file cabinets are cleaned up and the paperwork is in one pile. Everything is back where it belongs. I have been throwing away everything from my past relationship that was cluttering up the room. In my spare time, I have been writing. That would be a reason why I haven't been here often. I finished with a rough draft of my ghost story, I will be typing that up and submitting it on Triggerstreet and Writerscafe. I started working on one of my science fiction stories, I found a new twist and characters will be added. It's going to be a good book, I can already tell. I have been strongly debating about continuing my education. I saw some information on a MFA. I really don't know if I want to make the bill higher than it is. I need all kinds of stuff. I need three letters of recommendation and 30 pages of fictional work. I write more about history than fiction, so that might not be the best. I don't know what I want. I know that I do not want to participate in college debt. I want to rebuild my social life now that it has been completely annihilated. Oh well, the ones that are gone do not need to be in my life anyway.

I'm a Nerd

So, I just discovered this fun thing to do with the computer. I'm kind of a dork because it is something that many computer geniuses already know about. Try this, it's so cool! Is your computer “male” or “female”? 1. Open Notepad 2. Copy the following line into notepad: CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"I love you" 3. Save file as"computer_gender.vbs" 4. Run the file. If you hear a male voice, your pc is a boy If you hear a female voice, your pc is a girl Now Comment Your Results.. :)

What If They Fire Back?

So, the anticipated landing of Mars has occurred. I was thinking of all the possible events. At one point, I wanted to place a bet that the rover would crash and burn. Billions of dollars down the tube; just like all the satellites floating around in space. They do not retrieve those when they break you know. Then a few amusing thoughts came to mind. When the pictures were being retrieved, I thought that maybe some curious locals would be peering into the lens. I am sure that NASA watched Mars closely for any sign of life. I was thinking it would be funny if some sort of life form would steal the spacecraft and run. What if there was life on Mars? Would they be more intelligent? Would they have the same intelligence? What if Martians really existed? I wonder if they would have been pissed off that we trespassed on their planet and started to shoot at planet Earth. Maybe they would enslave us. That would be like Alien Nation in reverse. If there was an encounter, they may have a name for our planet. "What is this Mars you speak of?" They would say because they probably have a different name for their planet. I reached that weird area of PBS one early morning and they were talking about life "out there." One individual was talking about how interesting our conversation would be if we were to encounter a being from another planet. It would be an interesting conversation indeed.

Eyes in the Back of My Head

I have a job that I commute to every day. I don't have a way to go to home and back on my lunch. I get home late and I feed the animals and let them outside to play. People seem to think that if I am not home I do not know what is going on. Why are people under that impression? I do not need to ask about anything. Kind of like most of the friends I know. People that know my friends come up to me and gossip. I never asked for the information, they tell me every single time. I try not to tell them any information about what is happening in my life because I know they run their mouth. It's the same way in my house. If someone pees in the backyard, someone tells me. If someone breaks something or committed a crime, they tell me. If nobody is there to tell me, I find out when the room mate does not come home. If someone is smoking in the house, I can smell it regardless if you open the window. I wasn't born yestderday. If someone breaks into my room and goes through my things, I find out. I either see a change in things or the moron will up an tell me and be a pervert about it. Frank has not been doing so well. I have had them locked in my room. I do not like that idea because the room is very hot. I will have the fan running and it is still muggy because Dino is in the room to. I have placed Frank in the living room because I was afraid something would happen while I was at work. I thought he was fine and then it happened again. I placed Oreo and Frank in the extra room where it is a little bit cooler. The room mate will let them out. I told him that Oreo cannot be left out if he leaves the house. He seemed to be fine with that, but weird things have have occured over the past week that I do not like. The other day, I came home and Frank was limping. I asked, "Why is Frank limping?" Joseph said Frank ran into the table...since when did dogs limp after running into the table? Did it step on him? The worst that would happen is that Frank would look embarrassed and go on with his day. Before I tell you what happened last night, I will tell you what I know. Joseph does not know the difference between Frank and Oreo's bark. He came home one day and Frank was barking at him. He kept on telling Oreo to stop barking. Oreo doesn't bark, she doesn't even let anyone know when she is in pain. Last night, Joseph told me he locked up Oreo because she would not stop barking at something across the street. I know damn well Oreo is quiet as a mouse. When I went into the house, Frank did not greet me like an excited dog would. He was sulking and I had to call him a few times to get him to move from his spot. This is not normal. Normally when he is not feeling well, he lounges on the couch or will not leave my bed. Something dramatic happened and the dogs cannot tell me what it was. After much thought, I placed the dogs back into my room again. I am concerned about the heat harming them. I have the fan running, but I am worried that it will not help. My hope is that he will get the point that I know what happens in my house when I am gone. He has been quite disrespectful. He has been smoking in the house and I can smell it when he opens his bedroom door. Even after I had mentioned a few times I had one pay day, he still ate my food. He became butt hurt when I locked my food in my room. Hopefully, me locking things up will inform him AGAIN that I do not condone with bad behaviour.

It's True What They Say

Occassionally, I will see these posts on Facebook about age differences. Sometimes I think they are wrong because I know what old ice trays look like and what a cassette tape is. Heck, I even know what an 8 track player is. Most of those things I must be too young to know. Well, I hang out at antique stores and yard sales. People sell stuff from way back in the day. I watch and listen to entertainment from years ago. Not too long ago, I was quoting Bedknobs and Broomsticks. My associate stated that I am way too young to know what that is. I watched a ton of television when I was younger. It reminded me of the time when I first moved to Boise. The teachers are so ignorant, it's a wonder they have a job...oh yeah, tenure. So, my social studies teacher had a quiz. The students had to name a movie from a picture of a couple of objects. He was surprised that most of the students understood Papermoon. Why is that so shocking? It plays on television every summer. Sheesh. Anyway, I am rambling. Another post on Facebook I saw was about how people of a certain age feel. I think there was a line on the post where an individual in their 30's are not as enthusiastic. My 35th birthday was last week. I had a great time with my family and was disappointed in some of the people who I thought were my friends. What sucks is that just about everyone and their dog have a family, live too far away, or are just plain avoiding me. The ones that avoid me were the ones I am disappointed in. I had dinner with mom. I had some sushi that was deep fried, I think I should have stuck with my favorite. I was not feeling too well, so I couldn't go see Batman. I waited for my father on my birthday. I thought he would be there sooner because someone else was inviting me out for lunch and I wanted some more ink. He finally made it and we went to Cobby's. I got my favorite number 24. We checked out the discount house and nothing fascinating was playing. We rented Fireflies in the Garden and War Horse. Both good movies. I have been waiting for Fireflies for about two years now. He brought a gift that Vicki made me. She made me a necklace and bracelet out of glass and pearl beads. I bought myself some presents. I got a few books and some more clothes. I need more clothes. I'm probably going to go to a few yard sales this weekend.

Tragedy

There are no words to describe how I feel. I am a movie patron and I worked at movie theaters for four years. I worked at them when Columbine occurred. Columbine happened not too long after I graduated high school. I read a comment that someone made on an article about the recent shootings in Colorado. This individual asked, how can this affect the nation? Why raise the flags half mast? I can respect where this person is coming from because violence exists anywhere. I will tell you how it does make an impact on the nation. People claim this is the biggest massacre in history. This is a fallacy because I am aware of massacres that happened in the hundreds in this country. I have experienced first hand how a tragedy impacts our country negatively. When Columbine happened, I was not in shock. I was not in shock because I was bullied by students and teachers. The only thing that shocks me is the footage. It saddens me to watch it. It saddened me more when I saw footage that the teens made. They were bullied in school. The nation was mortified with the shootings and used the scape goat fallacy and blamed it on the movies. Really? Think about this, Stephen King wrote a story about a student who brought a gun to school and I didn't hear anyone blaming him. He didn't even consider removing the book from the shelf until recent school violence. People were blaming violent movies and Marilyn Manson. Why? People did not realize that one of these teens were fascinated with violence and Hitler. People could not conceive that possibly just maybe that they were being bullied. They blamed the movies. This was my occupation at the time and this made my job difficult. Mr. President made a stipulation that just about everyone must be carded. If they were too young to watch an R rated movie, they could not attend a movie. Parents could not just simply buy tickets and drop off the children. Nope, minors were required to be under adult supervision at a movie theater. No exceptions. I can only imagine how things will be now that the violence happened at a movie theater instead of a school. I think it is heart wrenching because the theater is my favorite place to be. It overwhelms me to think what would happen if that occurred in Idaho. There was already a shooting at the Meridian theater. Some man sat in the parking lot with his daughter. He shot her and then he took his own life. Yes, this is a national tragedy because this is something that does impact other communities. My heart goes out to all those who were in the theater when the incident happened. My heart goes out to the people who work at the movie theater. My heart goes out to Colorado. I think that it is a national tragedy because movies have been an important part of our lives for a long time. Whether anyone realizes it or not. The movie theaters were a place to go to escape the poor economy. Movie theaters were the place to go for people to learn a little bit of English. Movie theaters were the place to go to learn how to read. Now, it is a place to escape and some individual destroyed that innocence. It's bad enough the people that work there for minimum wage and tolerate politics about the rating system. Now, they have to worry about people committing violent acts. It's not just Colorado or New York; it is the entire nation.

Fact or Fiction

Selling Stuff

Where we last left off, I had purchased new tires. I have not paid that bill off yet. Then the new car problem turned my balance into 1,300. Fan freaking tastic. So, I decided to sell some stuff. I sold my headboard today. I am gathering some money to get rid of the American Express bill. Then it is the Chase account. I am kind of looking for another room mate. Not too thrilled about it because it just makes all the other bills rise. I was hoping to turn the extra room into an office...I don't believe that will happen. I could work overtime. I should. The last week of July is a bit short handed. Hopefully I get my motivation back. I am not thrilled that everything is happening at the same time when I have one pay day this month. Don't you know I have enough bills? This crap is going to max out my credit cards. I hope to sell my DirecTv equipment. I have no use for it and that moron of a company will not make any money off of me. Nope. The plus news is that the clattering noise has stopped in the car. They took the engine apart and replaced the timing belt. They found a couple more belts to replace. So, I should be good. I do need new brakes and I need to flush the radiator. I wish I knew someone that could help me fix it without forking out another couple hundred dollars. I practically bought myself another car, didn't I?

I Can't Sleep

At a time when I need friends, there are none here. I cannot call anyone to borrow a car. I can't call anyone to give me a ride to me car in the morning. Nobody is home. I am facing anxiety and trying to find people to talk to. I cannot afford another bill. I cannot afford a cab. My bike is broken. My car has been giving me trouble when starting up after I get off of work. The day before yesterday it took longer to start. I had to turn the ignition twice. Yesterday, I turned the key longer and could smell gas. Today, it started fine but it died when I got to Nampa. I'm not within walking distance. A couple helped me push the car into a parking lot. They gave me a ride home. They were the only contact through this whole ordeal. Everyone I did contact do not live anywhere near me. I wanted to go to the library in the morning. I'm pissed. I cannot run any errands. I do not even have a way to go to work because I need to be present for the tow truck in the morning.

The Introvert

Ever since I moved here to Nampa, I haven't had a chance to socialize. Even more so with college. I hate starting from scratch because I spent many years without friends to speak to when I lived in Boise. Even though she is a two-faced bitch, Liz was someone who introduced me to a social life. She helped me through a difficult phase in my life. There were things that I stopped doing after hanging out with her. She is a bad influence, but she is one of the best things that happened to me. The more people that said what a shit talker she was, the less impressed I was with her. I even look at the photos of her and her new family and I see what a phony she is. I have a hard time socializing because people cause nothing but drama. I have to socialize because communication is the way humans survive. It is one of the only things that motivate me. Even when I am talking to my co-workers. I may be talking at them sometimes, but I need a social outlet. I am having a hard time reaching out because all I want is the presence of another. I feel like I am intruding on the lives of others when that is not my intention. I have a hard time being motivated because people quit talking to me and start talking shit to other people. People do not return phone calls or texts. People delete themselves from friends lists. Shannon is another good person that I know. I recently was supposed to meet up with her and some others to watch a movie. When I made it, I felt really emotional and overwhelmed. It has been two years since I have seen her last. I haven't even met her first born. I felt crushed because I have been anticipating hanging out with her. I felt mad at myself because I have been trying so hard to spend time with people. I bitch about it all the time, but I am too nervous about meeting people I already know. Even worse, I get scared when I am in the presence of complete strangers. It doesn't matter how friendly they are, I can't talk to them and look them in the face while doing so. I don't know if it is because I work on the phone. Every once in a while I have to tolerate belligerence and it reminds me of how shady people can be. I have a hard time wanting to be around people.

I Waste The Day on Games

I'm Random

He's soooooo cute!

More Changes

For the past month, I think I have been pretty lazy. I have been playing tons of online games and I re-installed Dungeon Siege on my computer. I haven't been doing much yard work because the new room mate has been doing it all. I have been catching up on most housework. I have been cleaning rooms, sanding floors, and re-painting. I should be getting my financial stuff together to see if I can at least pay what I can afford on my student loan. I haven't done that yet. I even lost confidence I will find a higher paying job. I lost confidence that I will get anything done at all. The pay period is changing. This means I will be paid only once in July. They say I can get a payment advance...no because I already have a bunch of other shit to pay back. My job is pretty much screwing me next month. I need to hurry on liquidating my pension with DirecTv and get rid of one of my credit card bills. Then I have no choice but to use the rest of my disbursment money to bring down another credit card bill. I cannot afford another bill. Someone suggested getting a pay day loan...no that is a 100% interest rate and again...I cannot afford another bill. I cannot do anything next month which really sucks because it's my birthday month. Then again, I have some left overs from Christmas and graduation...I may be able to have some fun. Since I cannot afford Photoshop, I just may get a tattoo. God, I feel like the Buckets. I can only afford one candy bar...This means that the problem with Frank has to wait. Until then, I am feeding him some canned pumpkin with his food. I have been giving him some veggies as well. He seems to be doing better for now. They are due for shots and a groom. Perhaps in August... Another change was my schedule. I was working the early shift because of college. So, now I am back to working during the night. I am still working during the weekend. I wish I could find a different shift so I didn't have to work Sunday. The plus news is that I should be getting paid a night time differential.

Why I Think Medical Care is a Scam

Do not get me wrong, I am sure that not every person does this. I have friends and family that work in the doctors office. I do not hold their occupation against them. For everyone else that is playing the devil's advocate, shame on you. If it is anything that America needs to be fighting against is the hospital. These are the people that are supposed to take care of you when you are sick. Instead, we are either going further into debt or just not going in to see the doctor. I will tell you what I know based on my history of visiting the doctors office. We will start with a low income without insurance. I began working at minimum wage jobs and no insurance. I think that this is a time that is easier because I did not have anything to pay for, but a car. I was eligible for free medical care based on my income. I could easily make an appointment without the hassle of making several phone calls for a different doctor. I was eligible for a free annual exam and free depo shots. Yay, low income. Moving on in life, I am getting paid more. Therefore, I had to start paying a small fee for an annual exam or occasional illness that I could not cure myself. Granted, the doctors office still has payments based on income. I am still eligible, but I have to pay unless it is within my insurance's network. Which brings me to the next issue, insurance. When I was working for DirecTv, I paid for Aetna. Even though Aetna is a big pain in the ass, they are the best health insurance company. I was making too much money to be eligible for low income. This did not matter because Aetna pretty much covered everything. I had a co-pay of $25 (It has raised since then I am sure). My annual exams were covered with a co-pay. When I had an emergency visit, they practically paid the entire bill. The disadvantage of Aetna is that the list on their website is not entirely up-to-date. They are nonchalant about this situation but saying, "What? I do not understand....whatever do you mean?" They refer you to the doctors office to make sure that Aetna is accepted. When you call the doctors office to ask, they refer you back to the insurance company. Ultimately, you are ping ponging for hours until you end up in a padded room. I cannot tell you how many times I had to do that until I started yelling at them. I finally obtained a doctor, but she was a pediatrician. Then, I was not working for DirecTv. I had another emergency and had no choice but to enroll with COBRA. I'm glad it was only temporary because they wanted $200 a month. Someone who does not have a job cannot pay that kind of bill, that is ridiculous! Things spiral more and more out of control after this mind you. Chaos happens. I go through one job, lose that job, get a new job. United Health Care is the new insurance company that I have to cope with. They have the same behavior as Aetna and cost way more. Oh, this gets better. I do not make enough money to even have the insurance and the information is even harder to retrieve. At this point, I qualify for low income medical care. So, I am calling around again for more information about my insurance. United Health Care would give me an answer along with a tangent. They consistently gave me additional information that I did not ask for to make it even more confusing. I thought it was pointless to use them because I qualified for cheaper health care...so I thought. Doctor offices are now double crossing patients into coming to their office. As a consumer, this is really bad because consumers should have the option to shop around. The medical field industry has made this impossible. This is how I found out. Because the insurance company was not giving me a straight answer, I call locally for a doctor. I called Southwest District Health. I talked to billing and the lady told me it was going to be $75. "Great!" I think, why was I paying so much for insurance to have a high bill? Southwest District Health is a scam. They scammed people so they could build that new fancy building outside of Nampa. After the appointment, they tell me it was $175. I was shocked. This was discounted based on my income, even after I called an asked about it. They ignored me when I questioned them about it. I let them give me the shaft, I paid the bill and never went back. I continued to pay for my insurance for another two years without using it. I couldn't use it because I could not afford to. Why not cancel it? This is another area where they get you. At Hewlett Packard, you get decide once a year if you want to make changes. So, I could not cancel my health insurance even if I wanted to. If I run into a financial issue (and payroll is next month), I cannot cancel the insurance so I can have food on the table. I finally get the gumption to start calling names on the list provided by the United Health Care website. Again, I am calling them to make sure the visit is covered. Again, I am referred to the doctor's office. Again, the doctor's office refers me to United Health Care. This happens with Aetna as well and I know the routine. People who make minimum wage and do not have insurance are lucky. Finally, I got fed up with phone tag and started to scream at United Health Care. I finally start getting answers. The company pays $500 toward a medical bill. This was one piece of the puzzle that I could not get. The lady on the phone says it is like a gift card. If I use that up then I have to start paying money. Okay, this information would have been useful two years ago. The annual exam is covered, no co-pay. Nice! (Still skeptical after fighting). I was exhausted after this, I think this process lasted between one to two hours. What is even worse, I felt hopeless. No appointments were available for at least two months. I waited for a month to finally make an appointment. I was too busy with college, work, taking care of the house, caring for pets. I called Women's Health Clinic. I asked them if they still accepted United Health Care. They referred me to United Health Care. I told them I will not and the situation about how I have to play phone tag. I will not do it again, I am forcing people to *gasp* get off their fat ass and do their job. I get an appointment set up. The wait was originally two months, but it was changed to three weeks. The day of the appointment, I called billing. Is there a co-pay? Check my insurance, no the appointment is today. No, and anything that is not covered is paid for by the company. Great, see you in an hour. I drive all the way from Nampa to Boise. Long story about why I will not visit doctors in Nampa. Anyway, I arrive early. I do my appointment. I get the annual exam and want to check other stuff. They lied to me. I get to the front desk after the doctor visit. "Annual exam is free. These tests are not going to be covered," lady stated as though she was expecting a conflict. She got one and she made a very cocky face when I chewed her out. This pissed me off even more. "I called you guys. There was a reason I called you people! I called your office twice to make sure I would not have a bill. I do not have any money. If I was told otherwise, I would not have come here!" She lacked empathy and had the most bitchy look on her face. "Give me your supervisor!!" She went ahead and summoned her supervisor as she reluctantly reached for the phone for security. The boss finally comes and brings me to the office. As we make it to the office, I am chewing her out. Then another person who was the supervisor of Women's Health Clinic. I tell them how awful it is that I am tricked into coming when I have insurance and I do not have enough money or time for this. I am eligible for discounted health care. I spend hours calling. I spent money on insurance for two years and used it for the first time for this? I am told to be responsible. I was responsible the entire time. I made the phone calls that I was supposed to make and nobody did their job. This was the SECOND time I was fooled into going somewhere thinking I would be covered. The supervisor of the billing department was making calls as I reamed the supervisors up one side and down the other. I was balling by the time the billing person came back. She told me that I was covered, so it was what I was originally told. I was told $1,000 is paid by some company, no idea who I thought HP paid $500...whatever. After all of this, I am skeptical. If I get a bill, I have to call the billing department again. I will not pay it. I will let it go to collections.

Forced to Live In Silence

I have not had television for three years now. I shut off my DirecTv when I was terminated for making the economy tank. I got a radio from their total rewards program. Being stupid, I got rid of another radio that was on it's last legs. I should have kept it because the new radio quit working. I do not like using my computer as a CD player because most of the programs I use require a disc. So, I spend much time in silence and there is a reason I need the television to be on. So, NO, I cannot turn it down or shut it off. One of my birthdays, Paul got me a radio. (Probably got the money from something of mine he sold.) It was fine, but the wires were messed up. One speaker works one day and the other the next. Sometimes both of the speakers function. Then one day, neither speaker worked. FINE. At this point, I did not have a television or radio. I am alone at home in complete silence. My dogs do not make very much noise. I played games online to take my mind off of it. I get more pissed off at people that called themselves friends because I got isolated. I finally graduate. I get a gift card for Walmart. I rarely shop there because the food goes bad as soon as you slide the debit card through the machine. I decide to get a stereo that changed discs. BIG MISTAKE. I only had the stereo for 11 days and it already broke. One of the discs fell under the platter and now I cannot get it out. The only thing I hope is that they do not give me the run around with this piece of crap electronic. I want my money back and they owe me a disc. I will take the money and purchase a stereo from Hastings. They at least have something that plays cassette tapes.

Got Some Exploren To Do

Had another vacation and not very many people to contact. I believe that vacation is disappointing. I haven't been anywhere in nearly three years. I have been home doing distance learning. My social life is so bad, I would rather work on my birthday. I wanted to go camping before I begin paying for my new loan. So far, I have had two weeks of free time and nothing happened. Yesterday, I was overwhelmed with disappointment. I had discovered some interesting information in a traditional life "magazine" that I found at Albertson's. The magazine contained a list of various places to have a picnic or hike or whatever. I found one on the list that had native paintings. The website claims that there are places to camp. I decided to go and see if it was over rated. I had no idea this area of Idaho existed. NEVER trust Mapquest because it is ran by idiots. How come it cannot say, simply take 12th Avenue? No, it says take Dewey to Fern to Holly to Greenhurst...pretty much drive around in a great big circle. Morons. I was already pissed off and even more enraged at the crappy instructions and the waste of paper. So, I took 12th Avenue or street...whichever has Walmart on it. I drove all the way until it turned into a highway. As soon as I turn onto Melba, I was amazed that I never knew about this area. There were fields of large lava rocks that randomly had cattle. I made it to Celebration Park and noticed lizards zipping across the road. I did not notice anywhere to camp unless I had a RV. I think it would be too uncomfortable in a tent. I wandered through an archery range and hiked through the large, hot boulders. I would not say that they have paintings, I would say that they are carvings. It was an interesting trip that is only a half an hour away from the house. It was kind of a lazy day yesterday. I got quite a bit done. I painted the front door and the front window. Things are beginning to look better. I began to paint the extra room today. I will finish the rest when I am more motivated. I went looking for a place to get more ink. Perhaps the sun god of Aten...

Happy Day!

Sorry, I have been a while. Been busy making preparations and being lazy at the same time. I have been busy shooing off the people who want me to continue my education. I will when I have a man in my life (which will be never) and when I am making more money. It will certainly not be University of Phoenix because they are backstabbing bastards. For now, I will take my associates and run. Graduation day was interesting. I was bummed out before I left for the ceremony. I was putting in the ruby earings that Grandma gave me for my birthday and it slipped from my fingers. To this day, I haven't found it. I'm too afraid to vacuum the floor now.I arrived about an hour early in case traffic was horrific. I wandered around the premises. I pondered why in the world did I do this and would I ever torture myself like this again. This was the largest graduating class they ever had; someone said it was a class of 340. The faculty were having a difficult time arranging the alumni for photos. This was the first time they had a ceremony in the Centurylink Arena. The speeches were annoying because it sounded like a bunch of people trying to sell more garbage.I was wondering what that roll of paper was going to say. As I unrolled it I thought, "Are you sure you do not want to further your education?" Nope, just junk mentioning I must fill out my documents to receive my real degree...I already got it. Lately, I have been looking at lists of jobs. Of course, the UoP member that is sending them to me is only sending me information on jobs that require a Bachelor's. The university cries about the Frontline report, but you cannot deny the recorded footage because that is exactly what they do. Talk about a catch 22. Anyway, an associate of mine pointed out a state job. It pays really well, I am crossing my fingers. I won't hold my breath because they use programs like GIS, which I have no experience in. It would be exciting and fun to participate in preserving Idaho history. Otherwise, I will just be a wishful thinker struggling to pay for a degree that I obtained for no reason. I had some fun after the ceremony. I didn't have a chance to get more photo opportunities. I brought my camera and got a larger SD card...oh well. I met with dad to go to Red Robin. I would have begged for some Japanese, but I was already taken out for Thai at my favorite place on Garrity.

Happy Mother's Day!

Done

My final grades have posted. I got an A in both classes. At this point, I feel lost. I really do not know what I went to school for. I feel somewhat lost without it. I would be lost even more if I continued to attend and build up more debt for no reason. I was lead to believe that school was going to better my life. The country has been force fed to believe that it was the best thing to do and everyone fled to college. Did everyone know the reason? No. As University of Phoenix keeps asking me if I am considering continuing, I keep my mouth shut because I am exhausted from telling them no. I look at my house and become exhausted because it has been ruined from lack of maintenance. I am exhausted from cleaning up after the unnecessary maintenance. I sit in my house alone in silence with my dogs as my only audience wondering where all the good men are. I think about how many people treated me like garbage and that I am single because I am filtering out all the bad people. I have never been married. I am done with school because my life fell apart because I could not drop what I was doing. I am single because I could not stop what I was doing. I have been doing nothing but cleaning up everything. I spent four hours refinishing the bedroom floor that reeked of body odor. I am learning to be extremely biased. I have to reorganize my cupboards and I have some stuff on the house to repaint. I still have a hole in the front yard to fill. I have to redo a sidewalk because it is dangerous to mow in that area. Every day I have to be reminded of how much heart ache I am in. Even though I dumped Paul, his stupidity lingers in my house. I keep finding letters that I wrote to him telling him to leave that I never gave him. I watch the videos and look at the pictures of the damage in awe in how much I have cleaned and fixed. I am reminded all the time that I do not want another soul living in my house, but I still have to find a new room mate. This is going to take several months because I have to be beyond bias. The time off was wasted on things that I was prevented from resolving. I remember how much I hate it here every time I go outside or go online. My house smells like cat waste. I have the sloppy left overs of people I knew before stalking me. I had to block one because he was trying to manipulate me into going out with him. That is another thing. Many men have shown disrespect for me getting an education. This tells me that they want me to be a home maker...that is not me because I am independent. What is my calling in life? Do I want to put on a cape and save the world? I want to educate the world. Another Great Depression is coming toward us in a form of a tsunami. People are ignoring it. I want to tell people of the three dumbest mistakes I have made. Bought a house where there is no work, dated an asshole, and went to school when a degree lost it's worth.

August 19

Nora Jones will be playing in the Botanical Gardens. I think this would be stinking cool and I really want to go. Who else?

Final Week!

Drunk Make-Up

World Religion

In the past two months I have been bewildered by indigenous religion, inspired by Hinduism, touched by Siddhartha Gautama in Buddhism, had my breath taken away because of Judaism, and learned a ton from Islam.

Getting Closer

Week 7, my last week is on week 9. University of Phoenix is still pressuring me to continue my education. All I want to know is what I can do with my Associates. (No, nothing was explained because they are too busy trying to make a quick buck.) We view a list of jobs. The jobs listed one was a librarian (hardly any jobs), elementary teacher (maybe), or social worker.
Plenty of social work jobs considering Idaho is dysfunctional. She continues to pressure me about furthering my education in psychology. This is the same aggressive pressure from the get go. No, I will not continue my education. No, you do not need a special degree to be a social worker. How do I know? Research was conducted about them during one of my papers, mi amigos.
I know tons of people dealing with them. It's a government job. Everybody knows that the government has cut many jobs...this includes social workers! This means that the office is only open on certain times of the week making it a part-time job. This explains why people dealing with social services are having a hard time contacting anyone. Why should I pursue a higher degree? A part-time job will not pay a $50,000 degree let alone help me pay my house payments. Nice try.
My plan is to get out while I still can. I think it is irresponsible to participate with the other Americans who are racking up a million dollar student loan debt. If the economy improves, which it will not as long as people continue to be financially irresponsible, I may go back to college. Not University of Phoenix, not ever again. Maybe if I had someone in my life, I may return. Again, not University of Phoenix.
To add to the stress, Frank's gland acted up again. Most of the plans I had for the tax return are gone. I could not get to work for four hours. The vet was suggesting surgery to have his gland removed. This costs about $400 to $500. For now, Frank is on medication. He seems to be doing fine.

Enough With the Snarky Remarks Already

Three more weeks to go. I am seriously thinking of emailing friends instead of forking out $130 to buy invitations. Were there many people to help me when I asked for something? Maybe a handful of people. People who are tech savvy may receive a couple of emails. People who are not may get something handmade.
Then it will be no more waiting for information to load. University of Phoenix has a sloooow website. They refuse to change it back. Do I use their social network? No. If I want a pervert stalking me, I have Yahoo.
No more waiting for the material to download. I do not have the actual books for class. The last two classes have not been loading the chapters quick enough. I ordered the book for World Religion and it should be here in time for my test.
I'm trying to get a week off during my final week. That way, I do not have any distractions. I may or may not be available. The phone may be off, I'm not sure.

Graduation ceremony is at Centurlink Arena 6/2/12 at 10AM. Because of the lack of information that UoP is notorious for, I will double check the time.

Sounds Familiar

sound familiar?

Eight More Weeks

The cap and gown has been shipped the other day. Eight more weeks until this fiasco is over.
Not sure if I am going to be able to send off any announcements. It's expensive and I am living alone again. I am waiting to hear from someone about a new room mate. I'm not sure if that is going to happen.
No thanks to Sprint, I have been playing phone tag. No thanks to Sprint, I had to drive to Meridian to get graduation situated. The phone quit working for a couple of days. The answering service had to be reset...again. I can't wait until school is over. That way, I'll have time on my hands to write the Attorney General a couple of novels about Sprint and University of Phoenix.
The graduation is going to be June 2, more details to follow.

So it begins

After two and a half years, I am finally graduating. The ceremony will be June 2. Then, I must make adjustments to pay for the student loan.
Never again will I be manipulated into college. Some people may be skeptical and make snarky remarks about it. Obviously, they never experienced University of Phoenix. Look at their Twitter, they are responding to a ton of people complaining about them calling NONSTOP. Then think twice about making another ignorant remark.
I get this feeling that the war in the Middle East will not stop. The soldiers evidently need adult supervision. When you are in another country, you should be respectful. Would you not expect the same here? The answer is yes. You don't pee on corpses like children. You don't burn a holy book like children. You don't go around killing civilians. Seriously, you want to go home to your family instead of being deployed multiple times, stop being so stupid.
How about the rhetoric about the gas prices. Hey voters, do you remember that gas prices soared when Bush was president? No? I remember.

Danny Totally Nailed It!

that's messed up

Road Rage

I wish I had something pleasant to talk about. School is almost over. Then it is a journey of finding ways to pay for it or if I will find better paying employment. I love my job, I know I can't do it forever.
I have a sore throat. I went on a search for some night time stuff, but I found expired pills. Judging from the random medication from you know who I find around the house, I decided to toss it. Who knows what it was.
I went with my brother in his new car to Mountain Home. That was fun. I skipped a day of homework, which was great. The bad news was that I was asked to work some overtime the next day. I'm getting a B in Life Science anyway.
I had a fun time going to work this morning. Some nimrod cut me off. He rode on his breaks. When I went to the next lane, he slammed on his brakes. He followed me to the Albertson's parking lot where he harrassed me some more. Luckily, I know the number to 911. He sped off before the cop arrived.
Now, I'm off to bed. Hopefully, it's not going to be busy tomorrow because I have an assignment due.

Not Taking Crap 2012

I had a new room mate. She only lasted for a couple of days. She had a new VW bug and worked at McDonnalds...that was going to be short. Mike is going to be here til spring. yay.
I wrote a long angry letter to Centurylink. They provided the worst customer service of the year already. Their website malfunctioned and they wanted me to pay a fee to pay on the phone with a rep. There is no way in hell I will pay because it is not my problem. The reps were snotty and extremely rude and stated, " Are you made because you are not getting your way?" Excuse me?
I tell University of Phoenix I do not want to continue going to college for a higher degree. My social life is in the negative. Their website sucks. It is always down. I am always running into some problem and every time I ask for help, I have to call many times and they have to keep asking for information each time. Tech support is being snotty to me. I wrote nasty feedback. I finally got the problem with Adobe fixed after the fourth call.
Mike keeps messing with the heater. I'm putting a lock on it and see what he does. In fact, I'm going to clean the bathroom at 3am. Why? He keeps urinating on the floor and never cleans up after himself.
I am thinking about finding new employment. Some people are talking to me as though I am not reading what is going on. It is condescending and I am tired of it.
In the mean time, I am having a hard time socializing. It occured to me today how much bullshit people put me through. I am afraid that the same behaviour will occur with new friends. I am probably destined to be alone.
