"STRANGER IN THE MIRROR"

WHEW!! THAT MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER

Are we kidding here?

Now the "Bigwigs" are trying to say we should feel sorry for the asshats because they didn't get their whole bonus. Are you serious? Excuse me! So they didn't get the 1.5 million that they were supposed to get. Hey, they only got $500 thousand.

Yeah right, I think I'll go cry for them.

TECH - NO - LOGY

You get it yet?  Yah, well check out the "NO" that would be me. I have none of the above.  Or very little at least.

I've had no Internet for 2 days. That was not my fault, nope, not this time. I called the ass hats from Comcast last week to report several issues with my Internet. By several I meant no Internet. Ok, they came out last Weds. my day off. Yes, I had to wait around all day for the idiots and no, the problem was not resolved in its entirety. I kindly asked them to switch out my modem because it was quite elderly and remember me, I have brand shiny new computers that are a part of the new century.

The ass hat told me that all the equipment I had was top notch, blah freakin' blah.

Anywho, cut to 4 days later and walaa, no Internets!

I called the ass-hats again and they came out this morning. You don't really want to know what they replaced. If you guessed my 90 year old modem you would win.

For this I lost money, had to take time off work for them to come and tell me the ONE thing I knew about technology. Karma is truly a bitch! The kind of bitch I have been all week to everyone. Yes she is! Payback is never pretty.

So, now I have me my computer back.

Moving on.

Twitter, I mentioned this in one of my posts somewhere, hey, I'm still not that advanced.  Anywho, I signed on for the phone version, cause you know, I work and all and like to keep up with the "cool" people. Apparently, though they don't tell you, this costs eleventy billion $$$. Oh yes it does. I got my recent cell bill and omgwtf is all this shit. I was on a premium plan because of the twittering.

Does it ever end?

You don't eeeeven want to know how the rest of my month has been going.  Trust me it hasn't been pretty.

The weather is ab- so -lute -ly freakin' awesome today, so I'll quit my bitching and go up on my deck and enjoy the rest of my day. There may or may not be wine involved cause I am off tomorrow!

Tomorrow is another day and I'm going to try to get out of bed on the other side.

IT'S CALLED ACCOUNTABILITY!

If you are over the age of reason 21, then by gosh I say you are responsible for your own actions.

Yes, of course that means if you CHOOSE to drink too much, at a bar, get shit-faced and then kill yourself, no of course your family members are not allowed to sue. Sheesh, when the hell are we going to not allow this crazy stuff?

When my kids were just wee tiny little ones, I've always told them that we make choices and therefore MUST suffer the consequences, whatever they may be. Now of course I was never thinking of death as an option. However, I suppose that it could happen. Hell, it has.

In just 2 weeks time I have read about family members suing the bars that served these dumb asses people and then allowed them to leave. OK, what the hell. Allowed them to leave. Since when are bartenders barometers for those who drink too much. I happen to live with a husband who could drink anybody under the table and drive home and seem fine. Perfectly fine, however upon closer inspection one could see that he was far from it. I feel blessed that he didn't kill anyone on his way home!

Why can't the blame, for once, be owned up to?  You screwed up and you paid the price. In these cases the ultimate price, death. These folks should feel lucky, in both of these cases that their loved ones did not kill or maim anyone else.

When are we going to stop this nonsense? Will it ever end?

I, for one have enough.

Alrighty then, as you were. I have now climbed down off my soapbox.

I'm just sayin'!

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES...

I am sorry but I have a very hard time believing that some people can really be that stupid. Seriously, can people be that stupid? I'm guessing they really can.

I mean really, who uses that kind of terminology on a radio station, on the air? Imus is truly an ass and deserves to be gone. Maybe he had a brain fart. A real one. I've had them, just not in public and not on the air of a fairly popular radio station. What the hell was he thinking? Or not, in his case.

People really just need to think before they speak. There have been too many of those types of inappropriate comments lately, by public figures. Honestly, I am blown away by all of it. They then try to gloss it over and apologize, right, like they can actually be believed. Sheesh, some people are really a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

I'm not saying that I am perfect, not by a long shot. At least I know when the hell to keep my big mouth shut and lips zipped. When are people going to learn? He totally deserved to have his big mouthed stupid ass fired. Some people take the whole "Freedom of Speech" thing just a little too far.

Nuff' said!

Now I'm gonna take my nappy headed hoe self to bed!

CLUELESS

No, not the movie, me. Yes, I am clueless. Do they have a support group for that? No, well they should.

Apparently I can't post comments to haloscan because I need javascript. Um, I thought I had javascript. At least I used to have it. Annie and Gina will vouch for me. I used to post comments, until the week-end. I guess that is when javascript decided to leave, somewhere, and not let me post.

Yes, I am obsessive. OK already you are thinking. Move on. We are sick of all your computer illiteracy stories. I would move on, but if I've got something to comment on by god I want to comment. I keep getting deeper and deeper in computer messes. If it's not one thing then it's another and I'm actually getting a wee bit annoyed at myself.

So there you have it in a very boring nutshell.

Not to worry, I refuse to be defeated. It may take me awhile to figure out what the hell I'm doing, but I will eventually figure it out.

Lucky you or not.

ROOM WITH A VIEW

Long story short there is a rental building right behind my house. It's an ok place, nothing special. Anywho the people that used to rent one of the units was evicted because they ran a fortune telling business out of their apartment, yah, that's what I'm saying. Now the guy's trying to rent it and  not having any luck.

Hmmm, I wonder why. It couldn't be because the gypsy ( yes, that's what we called them ,sue me already) people left behind their awning that of course says Fortune Telling, Palm Reading etc.

Seriously, please let me take an apartment that will cost me $1500.00 a month for a tiny little place oh and remember to leave the awning right over my front window. Not just any old awning, but the one that says I'm a fortune teller. I mean because I would love to have people stopping by here at all kinds of crazy ass hours of the night, to, you know, have their fortunes read. OK? You get where I'm going here?

Yes, well today the landlord starts all his whining about how he can't believe it has been 2 months already and no takers. He just can't figure out why it's not renting.

I say to him, you are kidding , right? Take the stupid ass sign down and see what happens.

Now we all know that I am a few cards short of a deck in most matters. However, it really isn't rocket science in this case. I mean nothing says "Home Sweet Home" like a fortune teller's awning right the hell over the picture window of your unit. The window that you would look out of every single day.

Honestly, and I truly thought that I had problems.

He said to me, "You think so"?

You have to understand that everything around here rents at much higher rates and is usually off the market in a matter of days when available. We are in Lincoln Park, go ahead look it up. It is a very nice area. Not only that, we also have not one, but 2 els (trains) to get to. We have a short walk to the red line in one direction and a shorter walk to the brown line in the other direction. That would mean No Car. Those of you that live in bigger cities know what it's like to not have to drive, in the city, to work, every single day. It's heaven, trust me.

So, if you are in the city, and you happen to drive down Clybourn, my house is the one behind the awning, where the asshat lives. Honestly, it won't be too hard to find. Sheesh, some people.
