Random Cougar Life

yay

So dave came home the other day and made me feel much better.

My cousin Katie got married on 8-8-08 and had an Associated Press article about it made, which was weird. And they kept getting calls and emails from china and japan wishing them luck. 8-8-08 is apparently very auspicious. We had fun at the wedding and reception, it was in an art gallery which was pretty neat. And the reception they had tapas which was awesome. They had a very good orator, or priest I guess but you know that is what priest do is orate, and it was very cozy. I liked it a lot better than I liked the other weddings I’ve been to.

We got to visit with Dave’s mom, which was fun. Dave got new pants and a shirt, and we went to the beach. I like the beach, even though its murky water because there are so many rivers emptying their sediment loads in that area.

Over all it has been an awesome week. I just had lunch with Dave and Nick and I’m now chillin. I’m gonna have to clean out our cabinets in the kitchen though, and clean up the computer room. We’re getting sprayed for bugs tomorrow and they need to spray in the kitchen and the cabinets. I have to clean up the comp room because I don’t know when they are going to be coming and I work so I have to lock up Franklin. I usually would use the bathroom but I need them to spray in there. Maybe they will get here early and I’ll still be here.

Anyways, I’m gonna chill some more.


At&t blows

Seriously, I’m so pissed off right now at AT&T. I was originally going to have internet from them, even though the assholes force a landline on you, but I had thought I’d canceled my service the tuesday after memorial day, May 27th. Apparently the stupid bitch I talked to did not disconnect my service AND failed to document my call. Which means I get to pay probably 100.00 dollars for some shit I didn’t even use. the bill for the month is 73.something and I’m so fucking pissed.

We canceled the service because it was b/s that it would take 3 weeks to turn on our internet after the phone was turned on and the phone wasn’t even turned on when I was told it would be turned on. But when the phone WAS turned on we hooked up our dsl modem and we discovered we could send 1 out of 5 packets. The browsers timed out before surfing could be done, but packets were being sent. Which meant we had some sort of internet connection, which really fucking pissed me off because they claimed it would take THREE WEEKS to turn on the internet. When CLEARLY we had internet, just not the desired speed. AND NO ONE FUCKING UNDERSTANDS THIS.

I explained to them many times while I was on the phone, “I’m sending packets, that means I have a connection” and they said every fucking time “No, you don’t have internet, we have to do a more manual process to turn on your internet.” and I would reiterate “I can send packets, the modem is connected and packets are being sent, I’m watching them go through.” and they said “We can get you a dial up modem until your service is turned on.”

HOW fucking difficult is this to understand? They are supposed to be selling INTERNET and they don’t even know what packets are or how they get sent.

I’m just fucking tired, and pissed off, I’m going to be wasting at least 75.00 on this shit I didn’t even use because apparently they can’t see that I didn’t use the phone or the internet, they can only see long distance calls, not local. I guess its a good thing the police departments don’t need a history of the calls within the last billing period or longer. Oh wait, they do.

I’m hungry too, and we don’t have any breakfast foods, I forgot to go to the store friday or saturday. and I have to go to work in 10 minutes and my stomach is painfully empty. Very upset that I had to deal with this shit today


much better

I don’t feel like everything is falling away from me anymore.

Dave did laundry and cleaned up the apt and stuff, and we made up.

I think part of when I feel scared and stuff is on some level I still expect something really painful to happen whenever I screw up. I mean, I still freak out when I spill something on the carpet, and dave is like “why are you sorry? its an accident” and I’m like “I’m sorry!” at least ten times.

also, my parents left me 23 messages last tuesday and they were mad and stuff. because I claimed myself on my tax return, they can’t get 300 bucks for claiming me, and I get kicked off their insurance in july. oh no, its nto like I finally have a job with insurance benefits or something.  and they were pissed because they wanted me to come down to Houston for my dental stuff (I have to go to a houston area dentist under their insurance policy) and I don’t want to be trapped with them for a day, 300 (close enough) miles away from Dave.

  1. that was seriously what they called me about and left TWENTY THREE messages on my phone about. They called to yell at me for not wanting to fly down to houston for one day and fly back up here all in one day for something I can take care of in june
  2. remind me how stupid I am because I claimed myself on my tax return
  3. remind me how stupid I am because I lose my insurance from my parents in july

ALSO we had already talked about this three times over the past week, and I had told them the same things.

  1. “I don’t want to go to houston”
  2. “I don’t live with you anymore so its ILLEGAL”
  3. “I have my own insurance policy kicking in in june”

SO in conclusion I had a super shitty whole week with an especially shitty saturday and sunday and also my hormones were making my hyper depressed. that happens for like five days before stuff. I can go into detail, but you didn’t ask. (don’t ask me questions you know really want to know the answer to, because I answer them, unless you’re a douche)

I feel a lot better today. Dave and I had lunch with some buds on dave’s lunch break, and I took a look at an apt. it looks nice, its smaller than where we live now, but its hella cheap. Also I didn’t make an appointment to view them, I just stopped in and the management was very nice.

We’d probably have to get rid of some furniture (*cough*quintuple-used-sofa-and-chair*cough*) but the storage space is MUCH improved, the kitchen is smaller but there is, in point of fact, a PANTRY. there are no pantries where we live now, we have to put stuff in our cabinets. I despise that.

also there are hardwood floors in the kitchen, living/dinning area and hall. I honestly could care less if they were cement floors, as long as it isn’t CARPET. I Hate carpet, with that capital “h” (how the hell do you onomatopoeia “h” eich haych heitch aytch? um anyways)

so today has been very productive today. I ment to go check out more apartments and stuff, but I have not yet. Mostly because the two places dave mentioned he told me “that place by applebees” and “the one nick’s moving to” so I am guessing on the first one, and the second one I have no idea.

I’m gonna do stuff now.
