  Didn't Cave Yet

  Here's one update.  My mood is better  too.  There's another.
  
  And while I always do appreciate my husband, after meeting with 2 of my clients today, I appreciate him even more. One lady's kids' fathers were not involved in their lives, and the other had some domestic issues with her ex, and she was coaching/brainwashing her 3 y/o right in my interviewing booth. It bothered me so much, but I wasn't at liberty to say anything. It's not my job. But I am thankful that I have a wonderful husband, who is great to me and our daughter and is a great father. No abuse, no custody/support issues. It's not something I normally dwell on.  In fact I try to put my job out of my mind once 5pm strikes, but today I reflect on how blessed I am, in part based on those conversations that took place at work earlier today. The clíché "A good man is hard to find" holds very true. And I am very blessed that I have a very good one <3
  
  Still in the moving process. We're not doing the big move with the heavy furniture until next Saturday, so we're moving out stuff little by little each day. Can't really take too much over, since we're not having the rugs cleaned until Wednesday. But we're getting there.

  I hate everything right now

  today was not a good day.
  
  I got to work early for once, got my computer going, chit-chatted with my co-workers, and attempted at catching up on some back-logged work. Well, shortly after I begin, my phone won't stop ringing - everyone and their half-cousin had an issue and felt the need to call me.
  
  One of my  customers was a real f*cking c*nt and I wanted to punch her through the phone. I normally don't take being cursed out personally, but I was in no mood for her ghetto-ass sh*t. I wish I could let ppl have it, but losing my job is not worth cursing them the f*ck back. I feel sorry for her kids, having a mother like her.
  
  The nice thing though about today is that my co-worker made some kick-ass Asian food and a b-day cake for my other co-worker/my house-warming-congrats. That was nice.
  
  My 11am appt decided she wasn't coming in until 12:25 and the receptionist didn't get through to me until 12:45.Luckily she is much more pleasant to work with and had no problems with coming back another day. I wish more of my customers were that grateful and nice. 
  
  1pm I went to a bs meeting regarding workflow and policy and my unit doing even more stuff. The other parties involved are kinda reluctant, which I do not understand, as we're trying to lessen their load while minimizing mistakes.  Every time I tried to open my mouth to speak, someone talked over me. F*ck it. We'll see how this goes. 
   
  The rest of the workday was calm, except for my grumbling as I was typing case notes.
  
  After work, I went to my in-laws to pick up Angie, only to discover that Norm did that already.
  
  Tonight, while cleaning up after dinner, Angie was in the tub, not totally unattended, but she kept calling for me and I asked Norm to check on her. He's like, "oh she's fine." He finally peels himself from the stupid Flyers game, only to discover that the bathroom was Waterworld- a f*cking mess. he gets her out of the tub, leaves her in a towel, and re-laces his work shoes instead. So I had to stop what I was doing ( I was cleaning up the mess after dinner while getting the coffee and other stuff ready for the next morning), clean up the water real fast and get her dressed for bed.  All I can to that is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
  
  So I'm still pretty fired up right now. I thought that perhaps typing out my horrible sh*t-day and mood would make me feel better, but it doesn't.
  
  Maybe I'll resume packing some stuff.... I dunno
  
  Oh yeah - after posting this, I went to the kitchen and killed a nice big cockroach. F*cking lovely!

  31 THINGS THAT P*SS ME OFF

    

  This is a repost from a 4/15/2006 myspace blog. I forgot I had it saved in Word and was cracking up as I reread it and decided to repost it, with a few minor changes of course.

  31 THINGS THAT P*SS ME OFF……….in no particular order:

   

  1)       Absolute ignorance, especially when it comes to race, religion, language, age………..

  2)       U.S. History & how it is taught in schools- they lied to us about many things…..

  3)       immigration bullsh*t ……from a country founded by immigrants….just tax the f*ckers and let them stay!

  4)       abortion

  5)       corn.  I like the taste, but I don’t like to look at it twice.

  6)       Racism & discrimination

  7)       people who abandon their children & men who deny paternity…..

  8)       child abuse

  9)       poverty

  10)   liars

  11)   People who don’t use turn signals. People who drive at 20mph, like it’s a Sunday f*cking drive, when really it’s rush-hour on a Monday morning. People who drive with their high-beams on 24/7. People who drive on the shoulder at Bristol Rd and Old Lincoln Hwy – it’s not a right turning lane, wait your effing turn, like err’body else! People who completely stop to make a right turn. People who make left turns on narrow roads and tie up traffic. People who sit at green lights. People who drive and don’t know how to in general – GET OUT OF MY WAY!

  12)   p*rnography = false advertising

  13)   multi-millionaires & other rich bast*rds – share the wealth!

  14)   money- how society revolves around it like it’s a f*cking deity

  15)   snobs- seriously, your sh*t DOES stink, just like everybody else. Get over yourself.

  16)   Arbor Lane Apartments & its trashy f*cking neighbors, and how UCH doesn’t do a g*ddamn thing except overcharge

  17)   Capital One – they forced me to keep an account for a while, charging things I didn’t agree too, prolonged my closing – I felt like suing them at one point.

  18)   Grudges.  It’s only a waste of time, so get over it. Seriously, spend your time on something more productive. Don't let past bullsh*t consume you.

  19)   AOL – how they do not send paper bills & cheat your bank account, and their stupid f*cking automated voice customer service – I want to speak to a person, goddamn it, not some f*cking piece of sh*t robot

  20)   Elderly & SEPTA…. If an elderly person gets on a SEPTA vehicle before peak hours end, even if its like 2 minutes, they are told to either pay up or get off and wait for the next vehicle(bus, subway, regional rail).  This is absolute crap.  The elderly have worked hard all their g*ddamned lives, paid their dues to society, and they’re either dead before their time, shipped off to a sh*tty nursing home, or kicked off the bus or train and forced to wait in the cold, or even if its nice out, they're legs prolly hurt. Sometimes they're dead before the next one comes. The Elderly should ride for free, so F*CK SEPTA!

  21)   Angelina Jolie……she just sucks.  And I HATE how people refer to her when I mention my daughter- we named her after my husband’s Italian great-grandmother, not some celebrity hobag. I explain this to people all the time. And for those of you who think she’s hot, well keep thinking that. I still think she sucks.

  22)   Wawa- I boycotted this company a long  time ago, because they treat their employees worse than dogsh*t.  The c*ckroaches get better treatment- they get killed and put out of their misery.

  23)   PPH- they treat their employees like sh*t too, and the bosses there can all go f*ck themselves.
  

  24)   ME. Yes, sometimes I p*ss myself off too!

  25)   People who absolutely need bottled water- it’s all the same sh*t.  You’re just getting charged extra cuz you’re a g*ddamned fool!

  26)   TV- yeah its trash. Rots the brain.

  27)   VERIZON. F*ck verizon.

  28)   Comcast. Eff those effers in the a--hole too!

  29)   Sports, concerts, celebrities- they don’t pay your bills, why should you pay theirs? And they suck besides, big let-downs, especially sports.

  30)   G*ddamn spellcheck!

  31)   Censorship, like this website makes me type asterisks in words like F*CK and SH*T  and P*SS - Eff censorship!

   
  There’s plenty more where that came from, but that’s all I can think of right now.  More ranting to come!

  “parting is such sweet sorrow”

  “parting is such sweet sorrow”

   

  I am happy to say that after three and a half years of marriage and parenthood, we have finally taken the next step and purchased a home. We make settlement on Thursday.  While I am excited about moving forward and having more room, I am going to miss the Feasterville Trevose area and this apartment that we called home for nearly four years. Despite some inconveniences, we have made some great friends and have so many wonderful memories.

   

  So I made a couple of lists of pros and cons, and some memories. No particular order.

   

  Things I’m going to miss about Trevose and Arbor Lane Apartments:

  1)      our friends – the Hill Family, and Pete the Bartender. Pete was the first neighbor to ever converse with us, and The Hill Family is great, and I hope that our girls will still be able to be playmates in the future.

  2)      Not having to pay utilities.

  3)      Full access to an in-ground pool.

  4)      Burger King on Bridgetown Pike

  5)      Genaurdi’s shopping center in Feasterville. Never went to that Genuardi’s but I’ll miss the Hair Cuttery and Lamberti’s restaurant, and the Spirit Halloween store, all in that same shopping center.

  6)      Kmart on Street Rd – the  Feasterville one

  7)      Feasterville Acme – so much better than the Bensalem Acme we’re moving near.

  8)      Lower Southampton Village, where Five Below and Starbucks and Brunswick Zone are located.

  9)      The Dollar Tree and Sparkles Beer.

  10)   Hunan Wok/Happy Star Chinese restaurant

  11)  Angela’s II. We call to order, they have our apt #, names, debit card, and sometimes even know what we want to order. When I used to work in Philly and took the train, I’d order dinner sometimes on Friday nights from my cell phone and when I’d get off the train at Trevose, I could walk to Angela’s, pick up the food, and walk home. Their Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteaks and Sicilian pies are awesome.

  12)   Trevose Pizza and Trevose Beer, at the old ShopnBag center.

  13)  Carmen’s Place and Trevose Family Shoes, both located in what I call “downtown Trevose”. I’ve only been to Carmen’s twice, but it’s a cute little dive bar. I’ll most likely continue to visit Trevose Family Shoes, as we will still get Angie’s sneakers there.

  14)  I’ll more than likely continue to visit this area, period, as there are so many shops I prefer, and of course I want to come and visit the Hills and Pete.

   

  Some fond memories of this place:

   

  1)      the several drunken gatherings we’ve had here. At first it was the Wawa crew, then they quit and our other friends came, and keep coming over now. All great times, funny, sometimes a blur.

  2)      Standing outside towards the courtyard of the “E” building, smoking cigarettes and chatting about various things, like sports, weirdo neighbors, The Jerky Boys, work, life in general. We currently have a patio at our 2-bdrm we’ve been in the last 2 yrs, and don’t go over that way too much anymore, but when we were first here, we were in a 1-bdrm, and we’d chat with the neighbors quite frequently out there, sometimes beer in hand.

  3)      Catching the Knock-knock zoom-zoomers on Thanksgiving break ’07.

  4)      Setting off the E building fire alarm back in January ’09, quite by accident.

  5)      After Sarah’s Halloween bash back in ’06, coming back to our 1-bdrm, right before we moved to the 2-bdrm. We hung out that whole weekend, went to see SAW III. It was great.

  6)      New Years Eve 2006. It was a bisexual make-out fest. Three-way girl-on-girl. Guy-on-guy too. Yeah, it was pretty effed-up

  7)      St Pat’s Parties, both in 2007 and 2008. Drunken fun times.

  8)      Our patio. Lots of drunken smoke-filled conversations and heart-to-hearts held out there.

  9)      Trevose Train station. Granted I haven’t rode the train since October ’07, right before I transferred to Bucks County, but knowing that it’s only a block away after cutting through the one yard and crossing Brownsville Rd, is good. No driving required.

  10)   Halloween ’05. I was pregnant, so I couldn’t drink, but Matt and Anthony came over after work, and Matt was in a gorilla costume, drunk, beating his chest, convulsing on the floor – not really convulsing, pretending for effect. Actually, despite how nuts Matt would get when he drank, I missed those early days here, yelling at 5am outside, intoxicated to oblivion. At the time it was quite unnerving, but looking back on it, it was hilarious.

  11)  Bringing Angie home from the hospital

  12)  When we first moved here before we were married, before Angie was born, I enjoyed walking to Wawa and CVS, by myself. Going to the mall, looking for work, taking the bus home in the rain. One time I walked from Neshaminy. It’s only a 5 min drive, but a good hr walk, esp. in a suit in early July, four and a half months pregnant. But I enjoyed it.

  13)  Last winter, when were hung out at Pete’s for a hot minute, then came down here. Called Uncle Doctor, called Greg on Skype. Pete had a baggy on his head, and ate popcorn and brought down his video camera. It was hilarious. My glasses suffered collateral damage.
   

  What I am NOT going to miss about this place:

   

  1)      the parking situation. It blows. No assigned parking, people park half-ass, have cars that sit and just take up space, never move/use them. They make their own spots.

  2)      Always having to watch our volume, esp at night, so that we don’t piss off the neighbors. At our November Fools Halloween Extravaganza this past yr, we had the Geto Boys blaring from the stereo. I had a cardboard oven on my head, as I was supposed to be Sylvia Plath. I was dancing all gangsta to the Geto Boys with a box on my head(which btw Tara still has yet to put the footage from her phone on YouTube), only for the overgrown retards upstairs to stomp as hard as they could on their floor/our ceiling, to send us amessage, or to scare us I suppose.  When we moved directly downstairs from them, we told them, if we’re too loud, just call or knock, we’ll turn it down. We’re easy to get along with. And I’m not exaggerating about them being overgrown retards. They’re like 6’11 and mentally slow, to a degree. I think their mom lives in the bldg across the parking lot. She had like 12 kids altogether, and they’re all really tall (including herself – “that’s not a woman, it’s a man, babay!”) and most of her kids are mentally challenged. Kinda sad. I guess she kept trying ‘til she had some normal ones, but gave up after kid # 11.

  3)      The f*cking skunks. Seriously, there’s way too many, all the time, with the exception of winter. Can’t go out on the patio when it’s nice.

  4)      The f*cking bugs. Again, too many, esp. since we face a wooded area. Bees at 2am buzzing around, random dead roaches and locusts around. F*cking disgusting.

  5)      Not being able to recycle. They don’t have a program here. I want to try to save some space on this god-forsaken planet. And I want to set a good example for my kid.

  6)      Not being able to fully control the heat and a/c. The downside to not having to pay utilities. Seasonally, they centrally control it, and once it’s on, you can supposedly control the temp from your apt. But that’s a load of bs. Even with plastic tarps at the windows and the heat turned up as high as it can go in the winter – the warmest it gets in here is 70 on a good day. Usually in the 65 degree range. I hate waking up freezing, but I do it every morning.

  7)      Not having any room. Seriously, we’re not even packed at all yet, and we’ve been living around columns of boxes.

  8)      I think we have mice. Thankfully I never saw one, but one day I went to get candles from underneath the sink, b/c the lights kept dimming like we were gonna lose power. In the candles were mouse droppings. Creepy. Not a fan of rodents.

  9)      Not a fan of bats or dragonflies either. Summertime brings them in droves. Both swoop down so low, it gives me chills up my spine.

  10)  The fact that a couple of my neighbors are registered sex offenders. I think I was better off not knowing.

  11)  I don’t like how this area does not have sidewalks. You risk your life trying to walk down the street. Not safe nor child-friendly.

  12)  Having to battle the Bristol Rd ride every morning. I hate Bristol Rd. it’s too narrow. But I will miss laughing at the hippie flea market there at Old Lincoln Hwy. I won’t miss the traffic back-up it causes though. Nor will I miss the f*ckheads who turn the shoulder into a right-turning lane. I purposely get honked at for blocking it. Or if they squeeze by me, I lay on the horn until we start moving again. Bristol Road= major road rage issues for me.

   

   

  The house we’re moving to is closer to the mall, but very residential- the Neshaminy Valley area of Bensalem. Single Home, no parking issues whatsoever. 3 bdrms, 1 and ahalf baths, a garage, a family room, an attic, a separate little room. Good schools in the area. And sidewalks! 7-Eleven is a short little walk. No more Bristol Rd for me. Norm may have to go that way now, since I’ll be closer to my work,  but he’ll be further away from his work. But he leaves for work at 6:30 am, so it shouldn’t be too bad that time of morning.

   

  While I will miss this place, I will be so happy once we’re moved into a house and settled in. More space, some equity, and hopefully less aggravation. I’m sure it will be worth the 30-yr debt!

  My conspiracy theory, and a couple of plugs

   
  
  I firmly believe that sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Classmates.com, Reunion.com, LiveJournal, photobucket, imageshack, etc were conjured up by the government. They play on intrinsic human traits, such as curiosity, nosiness, the need to belong, and boredom, which is why many of us are drawn to them. It is the government's way of knowing where you are, who you know, and what you are doing at all times. It’s a trap the government set to trick people into putting all of their personal information on a public domain, so that they can monitor who you associate with, what your beliefs are, what you’re doing.They lead you to believe that it's a way of getting in touch and reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, which is why we "think" we join them. But Uncle Sam has different plans. Every time a newbee joins one of these sh*t-sites, Big Brother is like- "gotcha!". Even if you mark your profiles as “private”, they still know your business.

   

   

  Call me crazy with my conspiracy theory, but think about it: Big Brother is always watching, always lurking. Mind control is only a few more short clicks away into the near future.

   

  So I went ahead and deleted my myspace, facebook, livejournal, and photobucket accounts. I kept this one however for two reasons: one, I enjoy listening to my friends’ talk shows, and two, there’s nothing really personal about me on here. Plus I can still get my blogging off my chest, without any internet drama. I don’t ever plan on talking , because quite frankly, I don’t have the time nor the energy. Writing is more of a release to me. Or screaming profanities while driving insanely.

   

  So there you have it.  

   

  Check out www.blogtalkradio.com/jumpbutton – a show about retro gaming, Thursdays @ 6pm EST.

   

  Also check out www.blogtalkradio.com/kennethr -  a show about, well I’m not exactly sure yet. Pilot episode currently ondemand. I believe regular air times will be Thursdays @ 11pm EST beginning 3/26/09.
