Moving IS a pain. And the older you get, the more bagage you seem to be dragging around, with less muscle power to do it with! Next time I move, they will be dragging ME...feet first and uncaring, heh. The house ain't for sale and I'm leaving it to the parrot in my will.

Its been that kind of day...
And Rigil: may tomorrow not suck. Its too late to wish that on today.

[JadziaKathryn]

Ah, but Rigil, it seems to me that with all the people you help to move, you should have enough help yourself.

[Rigil Kent]

It never seems to work that way, does it? They'll all disappear when I need them to move.

Bastards.

[JadziaKathryn]

Some friends.

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

I hate moving too. I could sell my apartment for a very good profit, but since I hate moving...

[Distracted]

Try moving out of a three bedroom house you've been living in for ten years. The junk was unbelievable. I never want to have to do that again.

How can you understand a language and not speak even a little of it? Maybe just enough to say, "Good Morning" to her cheerfully, and then smile knowingly when her jaw drops.

Incidentally, she sounds like she's schizophrenic or has some other psychotic disorder. I'd steer WAY clear of her before she develops a delusion that puts you in danger. You might also talk to your boss about how the woman has delusions, and express your concern about the safety of allowing this woman to stay. Sounds like she needs help.

Yeah I think she's like totally schizopsycho and the manager knows, I did tell her about all the dren she's been saying and how she's just being demented like laughing all the time out of nowhere and like seriously all the time, rapidly so the manager knows she's like really not okay. But like how many times did I tell you the manager doesn't care about me like I've had to share a cage with so many psychos I can't even count anymore. Dangerous psychos and Zombie works here too and she's also my cagemate so that's a little too hard to steer clear of her disturbing presence.



More whines: it's frelling labor day weekend. Which means that like every frelling holiday weekend there's gonna be this fair/fiesta thingy going on like blocking all the streets in vicinity. For 3 frelling days. Tents selling overpriced food I refer to as "salmonella sandwiches" (because they just keep everything they didn't sell in a non-refrigerated trash can outside for the next days ). Tents selling other overpriced low quality stuff. And the main events like right outside my building. On both sides. Like there's a stage and "beer garden" on each side of the building where the same "local bands" give very loud shows like they do every holiday weekend and on some other unrelated concerts. And by "local bands" I mean "bands with no original material and not much talent either". Gah. Every frelling holiday weekend. Joy.

And if any of you likes to watch stupid drunk people frelling total strangers in public, there's a toga party at the zoo tonight.

We cut corners last time. Took three... count them, THREE pickup loads to the transfer station. Then after we took out what we actually needed I gave the rest of what was in there to my next door neighbors. Told them they had two days to go in and clear the place out before the new owners took possession. After that, any remaining contents went with the house. By nightfall the place was stripped to the bare walls.

Grrrrr. WordPerfect is such an annoying crazy program. Like I just opened a document to edit which displayed just fine when I saved it like yesterday in that same WordPerfect, now it's all messed up tabs whacked out completely, frelled up alignment and whatnot. And especially it goes like totally insane just trying to edit the damn thing. Fonts and sizes just change out of nowhere when I just press like the space bar, or backspace or something, complete lines disappearing when I just try to delete like one tab or whatever and a whole bunch of dren. Like what the frell were the programmers on?? Would be easier just to frelling type the whole thing from scratch!!!

[Bether6074]

Sometimes that happens to me when I've hit the insert button by accident. A couple of times I'd written really long emails and was just ready to send them when I hit a button on my keypad and poof...it was all gone. Very frustrating. The price we pay for technology, I guess.

There's a festival several times a year in the public park 200 yards from my house. Despite the inconvenience, I like some of them.

There's "Festivale Acadien" and "Festivale Internationale" as well as Mardi Gras and a gathering of Greek organizations from the university about 300 yards from my house. All of them involve blocked streets and talking cops into letting me drive past barricades in order to get to my house and troops of drunken tourists walking down the street and leaving garbage on the lawns and music so loud I can hear it from my bedroom with all of the doors closed (no telling what it does to the hearing of the people actually attending the festivals) and cheap foreign or local "crafts" being sold at booths for ten times more than they're worth. The food at the food booths is horrendously expensive but pretty darned good (we are in Cajun Country, after all). At the last festival I actually dragged my husband out there and forced him to Cajun dance. He didn't have a choice. My whole family was there because my youngest brother was playing with the Blue Runners, a Cajun blues band, at the festival.

Festivals can be fun, T'Poptarts. Loosen up and enjoy. Turn a blind eye to the socially inappropriate behavior and have some fun.

[TPoptarts]

Loud music is NOT fun. My poor little ears can't stand loud stuff. And I live like right above all of that and I'm really not a big fan of rock music, like especially like 50 year old songs being performed by talentless people over and over and over and over again (because they don't have their own material). And I have no use for any of the overpriced stuff being sold there and I can't afford it anyway. I'm like the worst female ever I guess... I don't go shopping just because stuff's being sold. I go shopping if I want or need to buy something. I did go take a look around like when I first moved here but like you've seen one you've seen them all, I mean like it's always the same booths selling the same stuff and the same bands performing the same songs etc etc, and to me it's really not much of an attraction plus it's like so frelling hot outside and I hate being in the sun. I'm more of a 68 degrees person I guess

It's really not the socially inappropriate behavior... I just have a different definition for "fun" I guess. And I honestly find all those festivals we have here extremely boring. And annoying.

Well and they don't have any Cajun food either.

[JadziaKathryn]

Someone once said that character is what you do when nobody's looking. Whoever it was lived before Kodak Picture Kiosks. I had to wait an hour for this woman to finish maybe 60 pictures - and she was editing, framing, etc. (Walmart has two of the Picture Kiosks, but the other was broken, of course.) I had just three pictures to quickly scan and print. It drives me crazy when people have a ton of pictures and don't offer to let you go ahead. If I have over 10, I ask the person behind me how many they have. I know nobody has to, but it's a common courtesy in my book.

But, enough stalling. I'm supposed to be packing so I can move into my dorm room tomorrow. Ugh. The last two years I had an apartment, so it's going to be rough going back to a dorm.

[TPoptarts]

Well at least I hope your dorm isn't a zoo like mine.
