Now it is time to vent about something.....

Who complained about my "Fuck A Hobo Day" thread to get it taken down?!

Wasn't it obviously not meant to be taken seriously?!

What the fuck has happened to this forum?!

I didn;'t see it.

That's a pity.

It was only a jab @ those "fuck you/me day" threads [innocent stupid fun]

It's gone completely! I was going to sneak a peek and see what all the fuss was about.

I'm not very pleased that for the past day and a half, the battery in the smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector in the vacant apartment above us has been dying; causing it to let off a loud beep at constant repetitive intervals since Monday afternoon. I'm even less pleased that my piece of shit landlord is too f*cking lazy to have someone go up and fix it, even though we emailed him Monday evening and he said someone would get to it yesterday and never responded to my follow up email last night. Ridiculous.

I'm having one of those days.

• I had a hard time finding something to wear
• My hair is a frizzy mess
• My kitten got upset because I wouldn't let her chew on my plant, so she bit and scratched me
• One of the kids in my 2nd period class made some of the most obnoxious, sexist statements this morning and I can't curse him out...

I just want to go home and curl up for a while...

so...I took my boys to see Arthur Christmas on Friday. We went to Chunky's. Not sure if any of you are familiar with Chunky's but it's a movie theater where you sit in big ol leather car chairs at a table and can order and eat during the movie. The food is not great but perfect for kids.

It was a 12:00 (noon) showing of an animated childrens christmas movie. My boys never left their seats and were very well behaved..or so I thought. My oldest son was sitting next to me and was asking me a few general questions about the start of the movie, Some of the characters seem to have a bit of an accent so I think he was just not sure what they were saying at first. Anyway I suddenly here this loud SHHHH from behind me...I was immediatly pissed! and said somewhat loud "excuse me" as I GLARED at the 70ish old lady that had just shushed my son. I must have glared at that women for 3 minutes straight, she never once looked at me. She was there with what appeared to be her 17ish year old grandaughter. I finally told myself to get over it and watch the movie. Now, mind you this is a resturant at the same time...so waiters and waitressess are coming and going through out the movie...it is NOT the place to go see a movie with out any interuptions. So our food comes we are eating and watching and having a great time, my son is again asking me a few questions about the movie this woman gets out of her seat and appoaches us and says you need to keep quiet (or something like that) I said YOU need to sit down before I get REALLY upset with you. She said, I'll get the manager if I have to. I said you do what you need to do but you better SIT DOWN! I was using my stern mommy voice! that old hag sat her ass down. Again, I was FUMING! I don't even know what happened in the middle of that movie cause the wheels were just spinning in my head about all the shit I wanted to say to this lady. Yet, I sat there and remained calm. At the very end of the movie, I queitly got up and walked over to her, bent down and said, You are the exact OPPOSITE of Christmas! she attempted to say something but I cut her off and said NO! you are the OPPOSITE of christmas to her again. As I walked away she said God bless you, I turned around and said you keep it, you need it!

whew was I pissed! I just could not for the life of me understand why she would go to a childrens movie at noon time at CHUNKY's if she wanted no noise. I asked the people who were seated at the same table as us (in the direction of our projected voices) if we were to loud or if they were bothered by us at all...the woman was like NO, not at all.

So after the old lady and her grandaughter left I was waiting for my check so I could pay for the food and drinks....well it never came, the lights came on and everybody left....so so did I! I hope my food got put on her tab!

About an hour ago (4pm) I started nodding off at my desk. I don't know if I got caught, but the VP walked past my desk and I may've been asleep.

I guess I really SHOULD have had some wine when I got home from the gym!!!

if your boss ever catches you with your eyes closed, just say "forever and ever amen" loudly.

I haven't slept well for the past few weeks (for various reasons) and our landlord, in general, is lazy. I'm at the end of my rope! I have been trying to sleep with earplugs and an iPod plugged into the alarm clock; but I could still hear it. I'm exhausted and then I have to come to my job and deal with more bullshit all day.

I called the office this morning, and surprisingly, someone answered. She was like, "Did you tell the landlord?" I was like, "YES! We emailed him on Monday night and last night." "Oh, okay. Well he wasn't in the office yesterday so that's probably why. I'll remind him today." Such bullshit - like he has to be in the office to call the super? How about remind him the rent is due tomorrow but might be late if that shit isn't fixed! His ass isn't so lazy when it comes to cashing the rent check the same day I give it to him, every month. Don't even get me started on how long it took them to fix our oven, the intercom/buzzer that hasn't worked for 2 years, the broken radiator in the bedroom, etc. The apartment itself is nice, in a great location, has a balcony, and reasonable (for Manhattan) rent but the landlord is such a lazy ass when it comes to maintanence that it's ruining the building.

Grr!

When oh when will I stop crying and letting my mind play games with me to block my pain when the crying stops? Why does love hurt so much?

When will I pay off my VISA debt?

When will I be able to pray again and stop being a conditional believer?

I'm honestly getting sick of this type of shit. It was obviously a joke...I'm actually kind of disappointed......I wonder if Imago made it, would it have still been taken down......

Don't be mistaken, trust me, he is not a mod favorite.

Grr!

If he doesn't take care of it, you can threaten to place a call to the FDNY Fire Prevention Bureau (I can get you a real telephone # if you want) to report him for being in Violation of NYC Code requirements for the proper upkeep & maintenance of life safety devices.

That should light a fire (pun intended) under his ass!

You need some good wine.

Its nice and sunny today but dayum....can I get some rain? I mean wtf, when is it going to RAIN? I've got fall clothes with tags still on them and boots still in the box. I need to wear my shit! I think I should shoot the local weather man for deceiving me.

We haven't had much rain in the UK either lately. It's been quite warm too. I've been getting funny looks for wearing my extra warm gloves.

Southern Cali hasn't had much rain and the one day it did rain, I was out of town. I just feel cheated because the meteoroligist keeps talking rain, rain, rain any day and I see the clouds but.....they laugh at me.

Yesterday evening I called 311 and filed a noise complaint with the DEP (Dept. of Environmental Protection. Since there are no emissions (smoke, smells, etc.) coming from the apartment, it's not an emergency so someone will contact me within 10 business days to schedule an investigation/walk-through. I was like, "If it's not fixed by the time I get a call we're going to have much bigger problems!" Good to know about the FDNY Fire Prevention Bureau; I will file info in my mental Roladex... Supposedly it is now fixed.

It's annoying because we are not pain-in-the-ass tenants. We hold up our end of the deal - we keep the apartment clean, we're quiet, we always pay our rent on time and it's like pulling teeth to get this guy to do basic upkeep. We've never even mentioned the broken bedroom radiator, and I'd love to have a kitchen remodel but I'll settle for a working buzzer. (Also a security issue, imo.)

Another apartment in the building started on fire this summer and the FDNY had to break open the front door to get in our building. (Side note, they asked me for an "emergency contact number" to contact someone to secure the apartment b/c the fire was late at night and the tenant was not home - every number I gave them was a wrong number/disconnected.) It took the landlord FIVE WEEKS to replace the lock! They removed the broken lock after 3, then for 2 weeks there was a gaping hole in the building's front door, which was visible from the street. I filed a complaint with the City but never heard from them. I don't want to be too much of a pain, because I'm afraid he'll stop responding all together; but it's ridiculous to have to hound him multiple times to do what he's supposed to. I'd love to move back to my old 'hood (about 15 blocks south of where we are now), but this apartment is allowing me to build up some savings so I want to try to stick it out for at least 1 more year. I know it could be much worse, but it's still frustrating!

I'm SO crabby today because of it! Supposedly it's finally been fixed...

I'm on 50,000 IU of Vitamin D a week to correct a deficiency. It's possible I've been getting all kinds of wrong diagnoses.
