How many little annoying things can we work into the day

[cornerofmadness]

I was awoken from a nightmare by the alarm. I'm not annoyed by the nightmare but i loathe being awoken from the dream state since it leaves me groggy.

Go in and give 2 tests, which actually weren't that horrible (in comparison to my 4oo level nursing one which was)

I still have a land line for many reasons not the least of which it cell phone reception here goes something like this. Hey your uncle drop 5 words and drop ten more crackle crackle Speak up why don't you. Last night the phone went dead. I get the old non-portable one out and it too won't work in either phone jack. okay. I call American Broadband and the guy asks no questions other than my # and says we'll send a repair man out sometime in the next 72 hours, you need to be there to let him in. Upon which I go apeshit and say look I have this little thing known as a job. can't you narrow this down? No, well can we come in the afternoons. we'll call you to give you warning. I browbeat him into saying after 3.

Later, I get home, decide you know that was a very weird call. I call back on the cell phone and in between the dropped words and flat out dropped calls (thanks verizon) i manage to get someone who said 'he told you WHAT?' no ma'am they're coming tomorrow. is the phone box inside or out? If it's out you don't have to even be there.

Well I don't know. I hang up and go track down the landlord. He tells me the whole complex is out and is very quick to add in that he didn't hit the box (which is outside) with the back hoe while digging out rocky creek (well in his defense, it looks fine). But if he KNEW this why the hell didn't he just put a note on the door.


And I was so proud of Soul. He was pooping and peeing in the box. While I was making dinner, he came into the closet, looked in the box then went and peed under the chair. Iwas so furious but the boxes were filthy as in I have no idea how they made this much shit and piss in under 24 hours filthy.

on the plus side, I finished my chapter in my YA werewolf story for this cycle in the writers group. I'm like one potentially 2 wrap up chapters from the end. OMG YAY. now to find time to use all the edits i have for this, do a deep edit to add in things that shaped up as the novel went then find another reader





cram another in your breakfast nook. any guesses what the udder-looking things are on the doors?

Testicles. So the sideboards can breed.

Good grief for your landlord. Could he be more obvious. "No, it's NOT because I backed into..."

Soul, Soul, you...*sigh*

Dear Telephone Companies:

You suck rocks.

No Love.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Or something testicularly related.

Smooth move, landlord dude, really.

Life sucks! I get the picture totally.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's embodying the food

and i don't think he DID hit it. it looks fine

yeah

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Suuure it is.

Well, that's good, him hitting it probably would've caused the problem, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well for some reason the cover has been pried off for 2 weeks. the rian probably got it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's not good.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's working now

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's cool, then.

Cats import extra waste for the litter box. It's the only explanation.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that or they were having a pissing contest

Those things on the sideboard doors are fruits, but I have no idea what kind of fruits they're supposed to be. I'm bummed that the sideboards don't have dead game animals carved all over them. Dead animals were the height of fashion there for awhile.

I feel your pain with the telephone, having been through two land-line malfunctions within two months recently.

half rotted plums? the dead deer where in the formal dining room.

oh geez

Dude, I so hear you about the boxes. I can clean out the litter after I get home from work, put in fresh litter and everything, come downstairs in the morning, and their favorite one looks like I own twelve cats, it's so full! Who knew two little kitties were so full of it! LOL

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no kidding. it's like HOW are you doing this

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Actually, I might be wrong about the fruits. On closer examination, the "udders" might actually be a brace of dead birds, given that the things seem to have heads hanging down. In which case it _is_ a dead-animal sideboard, yay.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. I prefer the idea that they're testicular in nature, though. *pouts*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you know what, I think you're right. those look like birdy feet at the top. there you go. you got your wish

[caffeinified.livejournal.com]

I swear, it's like most customer service people these days are incompetent. It's aggravating. My Wyatt got so aggravated at one last night even.

And your landlord... seriously?

Oh kitties. It seems they were trying for a little while at least.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Netflix is about the only place I've gotten good customer service in years.

yeah I know.

those cats want me to be insane
