There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Morning Without Air
I have had the worst day today. I had a ton of problems last night updating my iPod and I didn't get to sleep until sometime after 3am. Not a big deal though, right? I can sleep until 11am before getting up to get ready for my afternoon temp job shift. Except this morning, Love was leaving around 7:20am and I had to get up to help him look for something. He leaves and I go to head back to bed. (At this point, I've only slept about half of my "night's" sleep; a little over four hours.) Well, I realize it's warm in the apartment. Which it shouldn't be. I open up the a/c panel and sure enough, the unit's frozen over. Turn off the cooling, turn on the fan, call the emergency maintenence and leave a message. And being the waiting. Remember, I'm supposed to be sleeping at this time of the day. 7:30am is like 3:30am to most people because of my sleep schedule. When I don't sleep or get enough sleep, it's a guarenteed migraine for me. Time is of the essance here. But if they come up and fix it (after it thaws, it'll need a new filter and the freon recharged because that always happens whenever it freezes over) I can still get a few more hours of sleep. Message #1 7:25am. Message #2 7:40am. Message #3 8:00am Message #4 8:20am Message #5 8:30am (to the main "leasing office" voicemail) explaining it's been over an hour and four messages to the emergency line and that I need a call back now. All this time, stressed out and waiting. You know how when you're stressed and waiting on something, it's impossible to sleep. You're just aggitated and can't relax enough because all you keep thinking is when is the phone going to ring. Finally, at 9:30am - TWO HOURS after I called the first of five times, I threw on some clothes and walked down to the office. They open at 9am, so there's no excuse for them not to have contacted me by now. I'm pissed, tired and I just want this over with. The unit dethawed over an hour and a half ago but I can't turn it on and get back to bed until they give me a new filter (mine had frozen to the unit and fell apart completely because of it) and recharge the freon. Turns out I was one of two people in the same maintenence emergancy issues that morning. Because their maint super quite without warning and without responding to calls at some point overnight. Niiice. The only guy left was working on one call at the moment and would be up to see me after. 10:00am - two and a half hours later, he came up. But they don't have my filter size in stock. All but like five of the apartments have the same a/c unit in them. My entire unit was replaced last year and it uses a smaller filter size. (14x18 or something instead of like 16x20.) He takes one of the too-large ones and folds it up on the edges and manages to get it in there until they can order me a real one. Then he has to head down to recharge the air which takes about 25 minutes. I have to leave it running at about 50F until it's down to ensure it won't kick off. 10:40am and over three hours after reporting the problem, its fixed. But at this point, I still haven't sleep and my head is killing me. And because of the stress, my stomach decides now is a great time for an IBS flare-up. It's around 11am when I finally get a chance to call the temp job and tell them I haven't slept yet due to the complete a/c failure in my apartment. Poor A. was going to be stuck either covering the afternoon (which she doesn't want to do) or K. will have to do it (which defeats the point of having someone to answer the phones in the first place.) *sighs* There was just no way though that on four hours of sleep and another three hours of hellish stress I was going to make it anywhere. More stomach woes and it's after 12 before I can even lay down for a nap. Woken up by FedEx a little after 1pm, then Love called to check up on how things were. It's around 2pm when I manage to lay back down for a couple hours. So, I've had four hours of sleep, then about an hour of sleep and another two hour nap after that. None of which adds up to enough rest. Of course, my head is in Hellville with the totally screwed up sleep schedule today and I've got that nauseous, dizzy thing you get when you don't get enough sleep and the sleep you get is in too awkward of spurts. It's also thrown my body temperature totally out of whack so I'm cold and sweating in alternating cycles. (My body temp always "breaks" when I don't get enough sleep and also when I get a migraine.) All-in-all, it's been one hell of a shitty day. Tomorrow, I need to have A. come and pick me up and I'm not sure how I'm getting home. Rand is on vacation this week and has plans for tomorrow. Love doesn't get home until 6-6:30pm (or later; last night he didn't get home until 7pm) and I'm done with my shift at 5:30pm. I'm hoping I can get someone to take me home since I really don't want to sit around for another hour tomorrow afternoon. Today has felt like one, never-ending problem. All I can think about is wanting to eat dinner (there's no food in the house, so I haven't eaten anything today) and going to bed early and getting some sleep. That kind of sleep obsession where all you want to do is lay down and not wake up for ten hours. Let's just hope tomorrow is a better damned day.
