If you're good at something you never do it for free. [24 Jul 2008|09:39am] stupid_girl [ mood | awake ] We got a babysitter lastnight and went and saw Death Knight in IMAX. It was great but the whole world probably knows this. Oh yeah, placed my order yesterday for an Iphone! I'm so trendy :D When I get it then I can start watching youtube videos on the couch. Got to go make Lelis and I's breakfast. Maybe more later. 1 comment|post comment

Blah. [24 Jul 2008|06:52am] stoopid512 I have yet to fall asleep.  I haven't had any caffeine today or anything extremely sugary.  All I've had today is a few glasses of water, I ate a couple of homemade burrito's for dinner at approx 8pm, and I'm as wide awake as ever. Man, my sleep schedule is severely screwed up. post comment

[24 Jul 2008|07:00am] boobookitty84 So I found out rather kind of late yesterday afternoon that we're under some boiled water advisory. I'm glad I didn't drink any of the water bottles that I filled up yesterday. I ended up pouring them into a pot to boil because I didn't want to waste it. I left Robert a voicemail about it since he obviously didn't know either, and he ended up coming home with expernsive ass FIJI water. Apparently everything else in the stores was taken except that, haha. We had a little bit of bad weather Monday, and I noticed for a few minutes on that day that we had no water pressure. Shit. I'm not sure how long it was like that after I used it to boil some stuff. Then yesterday I found out that the water plant lost power. I'm not sure how long it'll be like this but we have plenty of bottled water now. I'm even giving it to my kitty, so she thinks she's hot shit now. Today I have to go fill out paperwork and take a drug test. I hope the hospital/clinic isn't far because I'll get lost, haha. Shit I forgot to get Robert's GPS. He just needs to keep it here just in case I need it. I'm not going to start the hotel until Monday, mostly because I want them to get their shit straight with me before I start. The last place didn't even have me in the payroll until the day I resigned. Its supposed to be in day 1. They better be ready for me thats all I can say. They're switching property management companies August 1st, and I've been told that they will also be doing credit checks on all the employees. Thats okay with me because I actually checked my yesterday and it was excellent. I check it every year or so just in case. Anyway, I need to watch some local news and see if that advisory has been lifted. post comment

[23 Jul 2008|10:55pm] barelydave The hardest thing in the world is to tell someone how boring they are, when you probably are yourself. It's better to just nod and look interested. Things go smoother when you LIE. 1 comment|post comment

=( [23 Jul 2008|02:29pm] evilgoatbob Square, what did you do to Rydia??? Also, there is going to be a Watchmen video game. It is a prequel. A beat-em-up. Storing Rorschach and Nite-Owl. Beating people up. It will be released as episodic content. WTF. =( 9 comments|post comment

[23 Jul 2008|02:42pm] boobookitty84 Well after a few great interviews, I finally decided what was best for me. The Marriott that I interviewed with yesterday is who I chose, its another Residence Inn so I won't need a whole lot of training. I liked the AGM a lot. I'm going in tomorrow to do the paperwork and do a drug test, again. I'm not going to actually start until Monday. I'm trying to stay off my feet as much as I can right now because I have tendinitis in my left achilles which is running up my calves. Its been bothering me since we've moved but it got worse when we went up to Kennesaw Mountain Saturday. It hurts like a motherfucker right now. Anywho, I finally got another job. I'm so happy because staying at home is miserable. 2 comments|post comment

On Not Being a Lazy Fatass [23 Jul 2008|08:14am] evilgoatbob Since I have done absolutely nothing in the last two weeks aside from mope and play a completely ridiculous amount of video games, I took it upon myself to join some club whereby drinking booze and running around is encouraged. The last time I tried something of this sort I was surrounded by old people taking pool way too srs, whereas this time I expect to be surrounded by Alpha Jim and Beta Jane, but with beer anything is possible. Also I am trying this, whereby you train yourself to do a hundred pushups without stopping. I did the "initial test" last night and fell in to category four at peak lazyfuckedness, but I'm still not sure how it'll go. I keep trying to convince myself to use my once worn, two year old running shoes and start doing this as well, but running really sucks and I can never motivate myself to start. Especially when it's 50 degrees and foggy every day after work. In short, I need web sites to tell me what to do. 12 comments|post comment

Weight tracking & eating habits. [23 Jul 2008|07:01am] jonboi_net Whoops. 1.2 pounds gained since last week. I'm finding it difficult to stay on plan during weekends. It's pretty easy to keep fruit in my cubicle and drink water while working, but not so much at home. Last weekend is a perfect example. We had a great hike on Saturday, so I celebrated with Pizzicato. Then, hey I had a great hike yesterday so let's also go out for a hearty egg & potato scramble for b'fast on Sunday. And then let's finish up the leftover Pizzicato for lunch and dinner. Oh, and then the baseball game on Monday. You can't go to a baseball game without pizza and a few beers! Overall I'm at 12.4 pounds lost. On the FitDay weight chart, I'm still a hair ahead of where I need to meet my next major goal. I'm having no problems sticking to the Couch-to-10k plan so far. At 6am, temps are still in the mid-50s so it's easy to get out and run, especially with the gorgeous sights along the river. If I can get back on track, I'll be really close to pre-Sam weight by my birthday and running 25 miles/week. Or cycling as the jury is still out on running. 9 comments|post comment

[23 Jul 2008|07:10am] acedyth Wow... I have a lot to write about. I wish bars were like coffee shops. You have someone like me at a bar, drinking happily with my friends, and all of the sudden you're struck with a HORRIBLE depression that just requires you to write down whats wrong. You don't want to look like a freakin idiot grabbing a pen and a piece of paper in which to sit there and write down you're inner most bullshit thoughts and confessions, or whatever it is that happens to be fucking your mind up... but you just HAVE to get it out. So then you start texting hoping for someone to be awake at 1 AM to talk to you about your problems, but thats when you realize that *you* don't *have* anyone to talk to about these particular problems. Go figure. It's a go/no go situation. So, I think that I shall open a bar. With a coffee shop attached. And with computer terminals for those passive agressive drinkers. Anyone concur, or am I just an idiot? 2 comments|post comment

adventures in lumps, VW service, and nostalgia [22 Jul 2008|10:31pm] deathclown [ mood | nostalgic ] i don't have enough time in a day...i know, who does?...but i'm so far behind on life right now...i feel like i've lost touch with a lot of people and a lot of things...this journal is one of those things...i'm trying to catch back up, and i'm trying to remember everyone that i care about...i guess that's just how life moves on... ok...so, a week and a half ago (i suppose) right before a shower, i noticed a lump...on my left testicle...some may giggle, some may gasp...whether you think it's weird i'm talking about my testicles or you think it's a serious matter, it caused me a good bit of concern...of course, the first thing i'm thinking is "tumor...cancer"...it was about the size of half a peanut, and felt like half a peanut...i swear to you, i'm not making this shit up or trying to be funny...(... :p)...ANYWAY...i had a doctor's appointment yesterday, which led to an ultrasound (btw, for all of you mothers out there or pregnant women, that thing is weird and i have a new respect for you)...today i got the results, and it turns out that not only is the lump not cancerous or a tumor, it's a normal part of my anatomy that just happens to be a bit dense right now, especially in comparison to the other side... now, enough about my nuts...i just wanted you all to know i'm ok and that i had a scare... we have had a few things wrong with our beloved car...i am now only a semi-proud owner of a Volkswagen...since a few weeks after having bought the car, the fuel door switch showed that it needed to be replaced, since it left us stranded for about an hour at the wee hours of the morning in Grenada, MS just because it wouldn't pop so we could fill the gas tank...three times we have brought the car in to get it fixed...the first dealership service team was a bunch of complete asses...they would have told us to fuck off if they could have...instead, after expressing our frustration about "well, we can't replicate the problem, so we can't replace the switch," they told us to go back to the place we bought the car and seek help...mind you, any VW dealership is supposed to be able to provide equal service, at least to warranty holders...so, sometime later, we took it to another dealership...this time, we had a couple of other problems, including a piece of trim that came off the car and also a sort of leak from the draining system in the convertible top...obviously, we didn't give them enough time to even take a look at our problems, so they didn't fix a damn thing...so, this past Friday, while we were in St. Louis for a business conference, we tried again at the dealership we bought the car from...the car went in at 8:30am, and when I called at 5pm to get the status of the car, they hadn't even gotten to it yet...furious, we went to pick it up and give them a piece of our minds...we were so mad, we were ready to sell the fucking thing...but after inquiring further, we'd end up losing our ass if we traded it in...besides, we love the car, everything about it... so...next week sometime, i'm gonna have to drive another estimated 200 miles one way to get it serviced...shit, they said they had the parts in stock, and then we get a call saying they just came in...so, they also lied to us...but...they're getting one more shot...i will make damn sure they have the parts and they are ready to do the job...i will make damn sure they will have enough time to complete the job in one day, from morning until evening...the "hospitality" we've been shown so far by VW Service providers has been horseshit...Michelle's gonna write the corporate office a colorful letter stating just how much she's appreciated the VW treatment so far...hopefully, someone will listen to us...they're getting a great portion of our money each month...they better start treating us like family...good family... i've been missing LARPing a lot lately...i miss SOLAR in MS, and i miss the people i connected with...i miss playing, i miss the experiences, i miss it all...i would probably never go back to SOLAR for a lot of reasons that i can't explain here, but i'd really like to reconnect with some of the people i once called friends...in addition to that, i have really been itching to play again...i got lucky recently, and i found a NERO chapter not very far from here...i've been contemplating trying it out...i'm way busier now than i ever was then, but i think i can manage at least one trial game...i mean, i hope i can manage it...it will be good to make those connections again...but it won't be the same without my old friends...if any of you still read my journal, please let me know... again, for everyone reading, forgive me for not updating more or staying in touch...i still love you, and i never forget...for now, adieu 5 comments|post comment

AT&T: We breed incompetence, because we can! [22 Jul 2008|08:33am] evilgoatbob Still no home based tubes, even though my modem was supposed to arrive Thursday or Friday and be all ready to go by last night. I just called AT&T, and after spending ten minutes trying to tell the robot person what I wanted to do (It sounds like you said you want to check your balance? Is that correct? No robot person, it's not, what I said was, "go fuck yourself." Oh. Let me put you through to someone who can help you!) I was put through to a real live person. Blah blah blah AT&T, how can I help you?! This is where I explain that last week I called about DSL, was told the above, and also that I made the call while on my lunch break at work, so I had nothing to write down the thirty eight digit account/shipping identifiers the guy on the line gave me. Ok, so you just ordered DSL and no phone? What's the number? So I give her my phone number, the one I used as the contact number for the account. The only phone number I've had for the last eight years. 601?? It's supposed to be 805. Knowing the area code here is 415, I begin to question what the fuck she is talking about immediately, but explain that it's a cell phone number. Well what's the account number then? At this point I re-explain the above. How I have no numbers. How I made this call. How I have no modem. At this point she asks for my name. Which I give her. Three times. G-U-I-L-L-O-T. Yes, T. Yes, I know you don't hear it. Yes, it's silent. Yes, it came from fucking France. Here is my phone number. Again. Here is my address. G-E-A-R-Y, this one is just like it sounds. G as in George. Game. Gargantuan. Gorilla. Goddammit. I don't show anything. What's the phone number again? ... Slowly this time, and with feeling. Yeah, nothing, can I have the address one more time? Now, I could hear the sound of her typing earlier as I listed all of this information multiple times, so I begin to imagine that she is actually playing a mean game of Bejeweled or Block Chaos or Generic Puzzle Game With Three Colors, but I go ahead and give her the address, one more time. Oh! Rajesh Kkaskjckjha?! Is that you!? ... Oh fuck! It is! How silly of me to have forgotten my own very ethnic name! No you stupid bitch, that's not me, I gave you my fucking name, it's the one you couldn't spell because it had a letter at the end that made no sense, not he one composed of 98% consonants. Oh, that's apartment 4. And you're apartment 2. I can see the rat in her brain has finally reached the cheese at the end of the maze, and the concept of apartment numbers she had been struggling to grasp for the last decade has finally become clear. After searching more through the magic picture box in front of her, no results for my name, address, or phone number came back, indicating I have no account with AT&T at all. At this point I've resigned the mishap to someone not typing something in, and given up on finding out where my modem might be, and just don't want to get billed for service I don't have. No, I don't want to sign up for service again you cunt, I definitely don't want to get billed twice for service I don't have. So she tells me wait a couple of days for the system, because we all know the Internet is not like a dump truck, it's more a series of tubes, and see. So, if by Thursday I have no modem and call back and still am faced with retardation, I will find another service provider. I may be online sometime this century. Bioshock was good, btw. 5 comments|post comment
