Quote of the Day

Saw this at bash.org and I has to repost it:

DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

My van, my van...

Well this morning, sometime between 1am and 9:30 am, someone decided to put acid on the hood of our minivan. And because it splashed and ran, there is damage under the hood, on the door, on the headlamp and on the bumper. The total damages could easily go into a couple thousand dollars. We are absolutely stunned. Melissa asked our next door neighbors if they saw anything and the guy said no but maybe it was the same teenager who stole his radio. However, the woman stood there smirking the whole time.

The police at first wouldn't even investigate it. I had to call them back after Melissa did to get them to send someone out to check into it. The officer is out there right now as I type this seeing if anyone might have witnessed it. I am still in shock that someone would have the audacity to do this.

At worst the 2 people in our neighborhood who we have any problems with are minor. One neighbor used to be a chain smoker and it drove us nuts before we got an AC unit. So I was a little abrupt with the guy cause it would poor into our window at night or we would roast to death. However, to this day they still throw beer cans and garbage in our yard.

The other guy is across the way from our carport and he double parks, which unfortunately makes it so I can't use my carport at all. When I asked nicely if he wouldn't do that anymore he flew into a rage about how it was his right. Then later when Darin helped us move a piano into our house, Darin had to park kinda in the way. Well this neighbor came out and started yelling at us for being hypocrits since Darin was now blocking the way. Despite the fact that Darin very politely offered to move his truck. The guy then got so enraged when told that it wasn't the same thing, since he parks in the way EVERYDAY and we offered to get out of the way. He got so mad that he almost started a fist fight with Darin, but this, too, was awhile ago and now all he does is give us dirty looks.

Summer

Summer oh summer...what a bummer.
Heat that's insane, class that's a pain.
Need a job to pay the rent...
So my landlord doesn't get bent.
School money's agone,
This is a stupid song.

:)

Well, Melissa and I pretty much aced all of our classes last Quarter. She is taking the summer off from classes. I don't have that option so I am finally taking my history class. It's not bad actually. The real problem at this point is that my temp agency is not giving me any work hours. Before they got me stuff pretty quick, but now nothing...I realized I never applied at ManPower, so I am probably going to go down there. I really like OfficeTeam but having 3 temp agencies looking is that much more chance, heh.

Melissa is firing her Neurologist. He just doesn't listen to her at all. (Apparently from what she has been reading on this disease, this is a common problem with Neurologists.) And the last time we were there he miss prescribed her medication! When we got to the pharmacy, the pharmacist refused to prescribe the drugs. The pharmacist told Melissa that the pain killer the Neuro had prescribed for 2 months could absolutely not be taken for more than 5 days and even that was still a risk. Apparently it's a really high end painkiller for post-op patients in severe pain meant to only be taken for the first couple days or so because if you continue to use it, it causes severe bleeding of the stomach and intestines. Thank God, her pharmacist was paying attention. It's kinda scary to me.

Today, I woke up with horrible back pain. I have now taken several painkillers in desperation (For those who don't know: so far in my life no painkiller has ever worked well, not even morphine) and some ibuprofen in hopes that maybe reduced swelling can help.
