When's payday?

Tomorrow. But as soon as my pay comes in, it goes straight out. I still owe my sis so much anyway, that whatever's left accumulates to be transferred to her = nothing left.

I'm irritated and I don't know why.

It's hot. I'm tired.

I hate weekends which don't let you relax. I hate ironing.

The fishtank is clean. The dishes are done, the flat is vacuumed. I'm not hungry, it's hot.

I'm tired of not earning money enough to HAVE any left. Medical aid "helps" but I have to submit things that I've already paid for and they sometimes don't cover those things and then it's paid for by me only.

I don't like shitty doctors. I don't like stupid people who don't give a shit about other people. Correction: I hate people like that.

I would like a budgie here but don't have the energy to even decide because there's always stuff to be done. I wish Warpony's first half was finished. I wish those damn cross-stitch company people hadn't fucked up and that I'd received the kits ages ago.

I want to sleep late and not go anywhere. For a month at least. I'm annoyed because my Indian truck t-shirt was messed up in the wash. Mom must have washed it with the rest of the clothes (in a hot wash) and the rubbery print on it melted and smudged in some places, and all over the front collar and stuff. It should have been handwashed, which is what I always do but it must have somehow crept into the wash with the other clothes. I can't go back to India to buy another one.

Friday was a write-off at work. The ITs and people helping them were there the entire day, sorting our machines out and working on the server/network. We now have domain profiles which is SO DAMN SLOW when you have to restart. There wasn't any way for the receptionist to get to the faxes that came in to the faxserver box, and hbbm was flitting around frazzled because the emails didn't work either. He tends to get in a tizzy very quickly about things like that. It's tiring because you have to placate him because there is NOTHING that you can do to FIX what is wrong because they're busy with it. Agh!

It's Monday tomorrow. Yuck.

Our adsl line is being subsidised, which is EXCELLENT! Saves us a bit of $ but that gets absorbed into other costs like electricity, groceries.

I'm still irritated. It's annoying when things just HAVE to be difficult. Like... agh I dunno, can't think of anything. When things HOOK on other things and prevent you getting them loose while you're busy doing something. Urrrrhhh!!

*sigh*

I hate that retard in the block of flats next door to us, he played LOUD bloody music this morning at 9:15. A SUNDAY MORNING, you SHIT! Fuck you!

I can't think of anything to write. I know this is a complainy whiny post but so what. I felt like saying it and I have so that's that. At least I don't phone you (reader) and rant on and on at you about it :P

Things we want to buy one day: stove/oven. Combo washmachine/tumbledryer. Couches. Those are the big things. Not fun things, necessary things. Can't think about "fun" things to buy now. Or spending money on things that aren't necessary.

I hate cockroaches and wish they'd all die now. I'm tired of spraying the hell out of them and them still running and hiding somewhere. I hate the way they peek out from under the drying rack and I can't spray them cos then I'd be poisoning us. Then they run around under the edge of the sink and I can't get them there either cos they disappear. And I may be hard-hearted but I don't like it when cats try to be cutesy and pushy and try to rub against you when you obviously don't feel like it. I don't want to encourage them, because any moment that we might slip up and leave the door/window open they'd get in and maybe eat stuff in the kitchen or kill my fish (or bird, when we get one).

It's 21:00 already. Time for bed to wake up early tomorrow. Oh and Tuesday morning I'm playing receptionist-dumbass again for the morning because the new lady is going to see someone at the college about studies etc etc blabla. At least hbbm is away but I have plenty of work to do before he comes back.

I wish my hair would grow quickly so that I don't have to fuss with these clips.

That's all for now, I think.

It's 1-FUCKING-AM!

I am at my computer.

You are playing your FUCKING music so FUCKING loud that I am FULLY awake! You're also all talking SO FUCKING LOUDLY I feel as though I'm at the party MYSELF, despite having been IN BED!

FUCK YOU!!

Don't know if it'll help even a tiny fucking bit but, come Monday morning, I will be phoning the landlords and complaining. About YOU, and about the pointless FUCKS upstairs.

al..... RIGHTY then!!!

Japanese potty training video

all one can say: al...RIGHTY then!!

It... is... HOT

Today the temperature outside was 41C. I didn't go outside at all, not only because I was on switchboard duty.

And it's still hot now. Apparently today's discomfort index was 45C!!

S (in USA) tried phoning the cross-stitch company I'd ordered GI and GS from... couldn't get through, he tried to email them, phoned them again and their mailbox is full. J his wife checked with people on her stitching forums and apparently the people who own that online shop are old and might be sickly. Anyway, the gist of it: we have to get the credit card company to refund us and follow it up with the site. Damn! I just want my kits :(

So now I'm looking online for them again.

I'm having a good time (so far) at work, I now have my own (hand-me-down) pc which although only a 256mb ram, 40gb hd, 751MHz processor, old one, is decent enough. The front USB ports aren't connected and there's a not-working floppy drive (also not connected). Problem with the back USB ports is they're on the same "block" as the keyboard and mouse plugs, and it's loose. So if I fiddle with a USB thing, the keyboard stops working and I have to restart. Bummer. Anyway, not often I'd need a flashstick I reckon.

According to secret sources we are probably getting a new TV. Source: G. CAN'T WAIT! Ok nothing much is on TV, but still! According to a friend of ours, the Simpsons is on EVERY DAY on Mnet open-time...!!!!! WE'RE MISSING THE SIMPSONS!??!?!

Oh and: the Simpsons movie? Definitely wanna see that! Saw Night at the Museum last week, it was EXCELLENT! Very sweet, funny, exciting movie hehe!

Still sad about Honey being put down. I so vividly remember the day we got her. Her breeders came from a long way away, and we met them at our Gran's place. Chose her from 2 they'd brought (they'd delivered all the others on the way). She was restless in the car on the way home, and finally found a spot and settled down in the footwell by my feet! Aww so cute! I remember it all hehe. That was over 16 years ago.

After this payday, my finances should be back on track... I'll be broke straight away after being paid cos it's paying things, but once that's done and I've got through the lean month to the following payday, I should be back to normal. YEAH!!!!!!!!! Ok still paying off to Sis, but that's ok. I should be a few hundred R wealthier after we get the money back from the credit card co.

*yawn* this week has been quite long. The days go quicker now cos I'm busier but it's more fun! I'm actually going to enjoy getting hbbm's office into ORDER!!!!! Untidiness! Pff!!!!! He's quite enjoying how it's working: he dictates an email, I type it, send it, print it, stick it in a file. Done! Hehe I like that too. So quite an up in the job-satisfaction level!

I hate cockroaches - we have quite a lot in the kitchen. Less than when we just moved in, but still. Only medium, small and tiny ones. The MASSIVE mofos probably can't get into the place and besides: they have a LOVELY portuguese restaurant to patronise!

Ooh, it's been a while since I did something on my blog... ok will do it tomorrow >;)

Erm

I'm back in the land of the living... this has been one WONKY mutha week hehe!

Ok went back on Thursday after being off sick on Tues and Wed, felt GHASTLY but survived, and Friday I had a very very sore tummy. Still felt a bit weak. Phoned "my" doc that morning (he'd said I should phone him if it wasn't right by Friday), left a msg. Phoned again in the afternoon, still no reply. So I phoned G's doctor's office, made an appointment with a doctor there. Had to arrange with the ppl at work for someone to take my place at the switchboard (!) because the receptionist had gone to register for part-time studies. Honestly I've done so much switchboard duty this 3-day week! Anyway, JUST as I'm like leaving, she comes back. Thank heavens... but anyway so I got to leave late because she has to like nag/ask me questions about "how do I" which is like DUH because surely she's had SOME computer training/anything. ANYWAY.

So we drive in a hurry but slowly cos of the shitty traffic to the doctor. I missed the appointment (the doctor'd left already!) but got to see another doctor after a wait. It was very strange cos the doctor had the window wide open and the electric fan on FULL power. It was rather windy in his office. Weird. Anyway, after going hmm and hmm a bit, he guessed it was probably constipation ("want to take a bet?") so I had an x-ray and saw him again and it was. Sigmoid colon. So damn sore, such a simple thing hehe. Anyway got some sachets of stuff to drink and the following morning my tummy wasn't sore anymore!

Oh yay, Monday morning I'm doing switchboard duty for however long because the receptionist is going to register because she didn't get to Friday. YAY!!

Tuesday the ITs are supposed to come and sort my computer setup out. I'm using the company's laptop and I don't want to do ANYthing on it like surft/msn.

This blog post is a little "deurmekaar" but that's how my mind is at the moment. It's like catching up after being away for a week hehe!

I've been tidying my stuff, going through my stuff, I have a whole STACK of things to sort through right next to me. I'm going to have to bring another bookshelf from home, and possibly buy some "inbox trays" hehe. I need to make shelves for this stuff: cords, manuals, chargers, etc etc LOL!

ANYWAY... bleh don't feel like sorting it all out now hehe. It's weekend.

Oh AND ABOUT WEEKEND!

These retard dumbass mofos in this block of flats (and the next door one) don't understand NIGHT TIME. They slam doors, talk/shout loudly (specially when walking past our bedroom window), at all hours of the night (morning). The people upstairs from us, omg! Domestic fights! And the previous night, it sounded like one of them was stuck trying to get out of an Oros-man suit... making squeaking thudding sounds all around the room above us! SERIOUSLY WEIRD! And then at like 9:30 this morning (sunday) someone next door to us decides to hammer a nail into the wall. WEIRD PEOPLE!

Ok anyway, I'm gonna try get stuck into at least SOME things here, so that when I'm back at work tomorrow I have at least achieved something.. OH DAMN, I have to do a waterchange!!!! Ok ciao Romano!!

Day 3 of being unwell

My tummy has stayed sore, and I have had headaches on and off... had eyeball pain most of the time. Haven't slept well, feeling very restless.

Phoned in to work today, got through to the accountant doing switchboard duty - that meant the receptionist was - dare I say it - LATE?! Omg that's... UNACCEPTABLE?!?! Whatever! She was late the first day I got there, she came about 15 mins late... reason? Taxis. Pfff!! That'll never hold anything for the bosses *sniggers* I've done my time being LATE because of METROFUCKINGFAIL and being crapped on for something that was beyond my bloody control............

Ok I'm breathing...........................

*breathes*

spent most of the day in bed, dozing fitfully as the maintenance guys sawed through burglar bars and drilled through stone etc. Ok they probably weren't doing that, but they were making a helluva lot of noise working on the vacant flat next door. I've been enjoying paint smell as they've taken off the burglar bars and repainted them.

Went to the doc, the doc says it might be a VERY mild case of tummy flu (which would be so mild I wouldn't puke), or IBS or something. So I have tabs to make me better :) Back to work tomorrow if I'm up for it. If not, it's back to the doc to get a doctor's certificate. I guess.

Mom and sis took our oldie dog to the vet today, to be put to sleep. Poor old stinky. Apparently she was having a good day and was all alert and bright. It's good that way, cos then her last day wasn't an uncomfortable, unhappy one. They had a 15:30 appointment but had to wait cos the vet was out with a horse with colic. They had a good wait though, a peaceful one cos Honey was alert and interested in her surroundings and when sis went around the corner to buy some cooldrink, she wanted to follow her. Sis waited in the waiting room, mom went in but came out before the vet did his thing. I agree with mom: I couldn't stand to see a dead Honey.

RIP doggiedog...
