Lots going on... we didn't take boxes away this weekend, probably will do that this week.
Tomorrow is "The Lady's last day". I can't wait! They have a temp in to learn from the lady, she'll be standing in but I dunno for how long.
Friday was payday. I checked my bank balance and noticed something 'extra' was deposited. I played it safe and didn't go nuts with the money on the weekend. I wanted to see what it was - what amount was on my payslip. It IS a bonus. It sorts out ALL of my debt so now I'm FREE from any debts! FINALLY!
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G and I went out on Saturday, had lunch, got a few groceries, I bought a popcorn making machine (a cute thing which uses hot air to pop the corn, it's SO CUTE!!!!!!). Also bought 3 CDs. Suede's 'greatest hits' "Singles", The Chemical Brothers "We Are The Night" and The Cardigans' "The First Band On The Moon". YEEEEEEHAAAAAA!!!! Love them!!!! Didn't realise that the Cardigans had more albums, I thought they only had 3. There are about 3 others, but they don't seem available in SA... Amazon ;);););)
I CAN'T WAIT for Saturday. A week-long holiday in Durban! A plane trip (wheeeeeeeeeee), and a nice self-catering place and just a WEEK OFF! It's taken forEVER for this week to come, and now it's ONLY JUST not here yet. Not long to go!
There are 32 days until we MOVE OUT of the dump. I still cannot believe they installed a 2nd hand basin. It's unbelievable. Regardless... we are moving out. We will have a SUNNY little place with a cute little garden. I CAN'T WAIT.
I guess this blog-post could be summarised as "I CAN'T WAIT!!!" hehe.
I'm so impatient to get things done now. I want to pack for the holiday. I want to pack to move. I actually wish we were moving first, but still, I'm just glad things are going to happen. Also, I want to stitch! Got working on Warpy again, I'm making good progress with him except for the fact that I have such long breaks between stitching! He's looking great. Hopefully I can finish him before we move into the new place. Ok yeah, unlikely but I can try ;)
YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

We're nearing the end
Not in a bad way hehe. Kinda nearing the home-straight.
We had pizza last night. Pretty much huddled in bed all evening, the weather was incredible with insane rain and an awesome thunderstorm hehe. It was amazing.
We move out in 35 days.
Today is payday.
There are just 2 working days til this "lady" leaves. She hasn't been so intolerable today.
There are only 7 days left til we go on holiday.
We have our flights, car and accommodation booked. We are ready to ROCK next Saturday! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
It feels like this evening's gonna be a DVDs and popcorn kinda evening. Sitting snuggled with a blanket, watching movies. It's a pity we can't put the TV in the bedroom cos then we could let Dude hang out/watch with us hehe.
We're gonna drop off some more boxes this weekend, maybe also some clothes (probably summer clothes) that we aren't going to use over the next while.
OH MAN it's just started to hail and it's FREEZING all of a sudden! THIS WEATHER IS NUTS!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Help
I'm going crazy. I'm losing my mind. Everything's going wrong and I just want time out to regain my footing. I am falling down hard and I need to just stop and find my feet, find solid ground. I need time out.
I just want to stop. This ride is going too fast, I want to get off and wait for it to finish. I want 31 August to come and go. I want it to be September already. I want to be free of this POISON rental agency, I want to be able to sleep at night and not be woken up by people shitting or pissing upstairs. Or going up or down the stairs, or slamming the security gate or slamming their door. I can't sleep. I am so exhausted. I just want peace. I want to recover. It's worse and worse, it's all accumulating and going septic.
There is no stability at work too. You think you can go home after work and relax but you can't. You can't, because other people play music so loudly that your head pounds and the floor vibrates. That's the minute you get home. Can't relax after that, can't even go to the loo or take a nap cos it's flat-viewing. There is no peace. Once flat viewing's over it's late, it's night, it's bedtime and they're making noise. They just don't stop. There is no end to it.
Now on top of that, I'm at work. I have a cunt bitch receptionist bastard bloody woman. She hums, and then when I ask her to stop she won't. She hums extra and then puts her phone mp3 player on and clicks her fingers too. So I ask her again louder and more angrily to damn well stop so she's all fucking angry at me. Bitch. That was yesterday. Today, the same thing.
She's leaving Tuesday. Fucking thank the fucking lord. But that's not completely free of stress. They haven't started to interview anyone. They haven't even asked the accountant to put an ad out for a new receptionist. The typist who's been here 30+ years says they're probably going to make me stand in. Fucking no way.
I'll resign. I am NOT happy being told I'm going to be a PA and then being slapped in the face and told no I'm an "admin assistant". Now, EVERY FUCKING THING this woman wants to do, I have to stand in for her. She's late? Fuck me, I'm switchboard. She's going out this afternoon, leaving at 15:30 to go to a CHURCH FUNCTION at 18:00. *I* have to stand in for her. A CHURCH function?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I am so tired. Fuck them with their shitty personnel management. I'm not a PA? So you can pay me less? Thanks. I'll remember that when you ask me to stand in as receptionist. Will you pay me both her salary and mine? Fuck you, you should have been doing that since she fucking started - worthless, useless piece of shit that she is.
This month coming is going to be EXHAUSTING. I'm already breaking now.
We're arguing now. I am sad. I don't want to. We are arguing and it's hurting the most because right now we need each other the most. I just want time out. I am fighting to stay me, but I'm not managing. I just want time out... I don't mean it. I don't want to be angry... I want time to recover and love again. I never stopped. I would never stop.

And now
We were doing detention Thursday evening, and the inspector dude appears out of nowhere to come measure the basin.
He says he's insisted they replace the damn thing, not just re-enamel it - "you'll get a call probably tomorrow to cancel the re-enamelling" - he's going to try find a basin that fits.
At about 18:30 they phoned G and said they "won't be needing access to the flat tomorrow". THANK YOU, "people", for messing us around!
When are they going to be doing this basin-replacement?? I hope it takes that guy 20 years to find a suitable basin!
It is now Saturday morning, and we were doing our detention. It was about 10, and I was brushing my teeth. I heard voices in the flat and when I came out the bathroom, there were three guys in the bedroom - the inspector dude and two others. Measuring the wall. The rental arsefuckers want to put in built-in cupboards. "They aren't going to do that while we're still here are they?!?!" I snap. "No, they'll (probably) wait til you've gone" says the inspector dude. "They'd bloodywell better wait!" says G.
What the hell? What next?? I mean, why aren't we informed beforehand that that guy is going to pop up out of nowhere and intrude?? No, we never know. Ok we don't *mind* that guy cos at least he's not on the rental arsefuckers' side, but STILL, damn it! We'd like to know when he'll strike next!
Last night we went out to the Waterfront to meet up with a Uni-mate of G's, he and his fiance are back in town from Canada. We couldn't find them in the restaurant at first but eventually found them. Right faaaaaaaaar into the restaurant (as far away from the "live artist" as possible I think! That guy was FAR too loud and FAR too "into things" HAHAHA... he had music-video DJ moves down pat).
Had a wonderful time with them and some other mates of G's friend (and sis+sis's G)... had YUM supper and just chatted and enjoyed ourselves. Hearing stories of what life is like in Canada - apparently people leave their cars running while they pop into the shops so that the car doesn't freeze up hehehe! I hope they can come visit again soon :)
I CAN'T WAIT FOR 4 AUGUST!!!! G and I are going to Durban for a week!!!! Car hire is a bitch (so tricky!!!) and we still have to find out about accommodation, but I CAN'T WAIT TO FLY AGAIN!!!!! :D :D :D :D
Little Dude is TOO CUTE. He was fiddling with his waterbowl last weekend, so we put a small bowl with a tiny bit of water into his cage. He had SUCH FUN splashing around - he bathed longer than any other budgie I've ever known. Not afraid of the bowl, not hesitant at all, he basically just jumped straight in.
Apparently kittens and balls of wool go together. Well, a budgie and a piece of string = a lot of entertainment! He managed to pull the whole piece of string into his cage and wind it around his perches.
I CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE INTO THE NEW PLACE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'm going to put a barstool in front of all the windows, so that I can sit and stare at the view. It hasn't got a STUNNING view but it at least allows you to see the sea/city. This flat/dump we're in has a view of a brick wall+G's car, and the undercover parking+flats next door and about 1"x1" of the mountain. Sucks. It's very depressing. It also gets NO sunlight except for between 15:10 and 15:20 and any sunlight that happens to reflect of someone's window in the next door flat. LOVELY. The NEW place... BOTH the upstairs and downstairs have windows that face north - SUNLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to get home in the evening, and sit in the garden with a can of coke. That's gonna ROCK!!!!
Ok - back to stitching, I'm working on Warpy some more. G got news that the work that had a deadline for NEXT Tuesday has to be in THIS Tuesday. Warpony here I come! *evil grin*

WTF
Yes, once more I am forced to blog with a negative tone.
Yesterday evening, while we were doing our flat-viewing detention, someone pulls up just outside our door - a maintenance guy.
"I'm here to check whether the basin and the cistern are the same colour"
WHAT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this morning, G gets a call from the rental arseholes saying they want to re-enamel the basin (which has been broken for the past 6 years according to the inspector guy), will anyone be home during the day today. G told them that we'll be home between 17:30 and 19:30.
They bloodywell CAN NOT come work on the place while we're there. Not during the day, not between 17:30 and 19:30. Not on a Saturday morning between 9:00 and 11:00! It's bad enough that we are sitting through flat-viewing, because we have stuff to do during that time and their coming to fix things would prevent us from doing those things. G carries on working when he gets home (since we have an internet connection he works a lot of overtime), and I have stuff to do around the flat like PACKING and washing up and washing clothes and ironing etc etc! They can honestly go to hell in a handbasket!
I am SERIOUSLY reaching the end of my sanity-tether. I'm FED up with THEIR fucking drunkard tenants, I'm sick of having interrupted sleep because of their fucking drunkards and wankers and bastards who despite our complaints they have done nothing about. I'm seriously getting beyond pissed off. My frustration is converting itself to aggression and anger.
FUCK YOU PHI! FUCK YOU!

*KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUNG*
I HATE OUR "neighbours". FUCKS that they are. They are such bastard drunkards I can't wait to move out.
Who the fuck SLAMS a security gate? Who the fuck slams a security gate during the night-hours??
I'm so tired of living in this shit-heap, I wish we could move all our stuff out and burn the place down.
We've been packing our stuff, bit by bit, and I emptied out one of our bookshelves and moved it across the room so that it's ready to be relocated. The whole back of the bookshelf (the part facing the wall) is moldy. GAH!!!!!! Fuck this place! Is it not bad enough that the neighbours are arseholes, the wall is moldy/bubbly gross, there are heaps of cockroaches, the basin's broken etc etc? No! Now all our stuff has to be contaminated with MOLD! Fucksake... we can't DUMP all our furniture because it's moldy... shitabrick! We're gonna be taking mold with us into the new place!!!!!!!!
I HATE THIS FUCKING PLACE!!
DON'T EVER RENT OUT A PLACE THAT'S MANAGED BY

INVESTMENTS!!

Gargargarharfargar!
I'm BORED. I'm at work. I have nothing to do!
Hbbm is on leave, last week he had us all in a flurry doing stuff (remote-desktopping, as I call it). But this week it's quiet.
I'm bOREd... and what's annoying/aggravating my boredness is the fact that I could do so much if I didn't have to be at work!
Ok besides the obvious "I could stitch!", I could vacuum the flat - it's quite dirty atm. I could pack stuff. I could (ok this relies on G not being at work too) go apply for a supersavings account. I could do SO MUCH but I'm stuck here again.
BORED!!!!!!!!!
I'm busy scheming something... something BIG, but not soon. Something which requires a LOT of planning/work/decisions/discussions/everything. Something major. I'm really excited about it... it'd be fantastic if it worked out well.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won't say anything more for now... It's just in the pre-pre-pre discussion stage :P
*bored!*... BORED BORED bored. Coffee time I think.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ok, lemme get this off my chest first:
RIGHT NOW I'M HYPER!!!!!!!!
I have lots of reasons to be hyper.
Ok one (coincidental one LOLLLLLLL) is that the receptionist is leaving. End of next month she's going to another company to be their HR. After a 48hour course in HR. I wish them good luck with her. She's got a very abrasive manner which rubs people up the wrong way.
YAY!
What else is SUPERcool... hbbm is away on holiday, and he hasn't phoned too much. I'm finishing up with some minutes and then I should be fine for a while.
I'm listening to my iPod - CHEMICAL BROTHERS RULE!!!!!!
I am now finished paying off my debt to my sis. We got a little "bonus" this past payday, which I just transferred right across and now I'm FREE!! SUCH a relief!
We put in notice on our current flat - we're sick of the shit of having like a broken basin/shit neighbours/broken EVERYTHING and them not doing a single fucking thing to fix anything.... so we put in notice. Our 2 months of being grounded has begun. Yes, like two teenagers being grounded. We have to babysit the flat for 2 hours every day except a Sunday, so that prospective suckers can view it. Two months. They're sposed to let us know if anyone takes it before the 2 months is up so that we are freed from the viewing-duty, but I very much doubt they'd bother IF anyone actually takes the place - we're being VERY honest about what we think about the place.... ;)
That's exciting news. We won't have to listen to WW2 games at 2 in the morning, or the people upstairs "toileting" (the sound-proofing of the flat is NONEXISTENT... don't think too hard about that), or fighting or drunkenly shouting at each other, or people trotting up the stairs by our bedroom, or ANYTHING!! No more BINRETARD dragging bins past our bedroom window, or sweeping retard sweeping the aforementioned staircase which runs along our bedroom - imagine a wooden broom on cement stairs... banging against the wall as he sweeps along each step.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it's gonna be SO GOOD to pull out of that driveway at the end of August and pull a middle finger at everything that building stands for.
Pink block of shit that it is!
Ok now onto some MORE exciting news! We found a new place. A 2 storey townhouse with 2 bedrooms, an AWESOME bathroom (proper shower and separate bath with a MODERN toilet and a new basin with water-mixer = NO FREEZING WHEN BRUSHING YOUR TEETH)... it's got a parking bay just outside it, it has a CUTE little garden, with just enough grass to lie on, we can have braais, it has plants... the place has SUNLIGHT!!!! IT IS SO OMG AMAZING! I am so excited I want to move in straight away!
That's the main reason I'm excited, I think.
Here's my starsign reading for today:
THAT IS SO FUNKY!! YAYYYYY I'm EXCITED but not crazy... erm but I knew that...
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Little Dude is TOO CUTE! I love our little brat birdie! He's so cute and mischievous, he loves playing with feathers in his cage, he's learning more and more things to say, he's SUCH a little character. I wish I could hug him but he doesn't seem to be a cuddly bird.
Gonna post some pics when I get home :D
My fish are GORGEOUS!! Cleaned the tank - the front pane was covered in algae which has bloomed because of the brighter light tube I put into the tank. Now I can see my fish again! They're so cute!
I'm on switchboard duty today during lunch. Sucks balls.
Siff! Someone just warmed up some stinky food... I love having a good sense of smell, but I hate the fact that some people don't realise their food stinks... I mean, come on... how can a samoosa smell nice at 8am?????? Gross!
What else is news. M & J moved into their new flat. Or rather, he did... she's still staying at home for a little longer. Gonna see the place on Saturday.
The weather ROCKS today (did yesterday too) but I'm stuck indoors ALL day til basically sundown. Sucks. And the weather's gonna SUCK on the weekend - typical!
Oh and the post earlier about radio-controlled cars?? We have one now! Got home from work that Monday after feeling really bla and G and I were sort of miffed with each other or just TIRED and frustrated from work. I was reading something in the lounge and he was busy wrapping his sister's birthday present. After an age I got up and went to put something away in the bedroom and saw a little black Merc parked on top of my laptop next to my bed!!!!!!!!!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! The lights work and everything!! When you stop moving it forward or backward, its brake lights come on, and when you turn the steering left or right, it indicates!! It's TOO CUTE!
Ok lemme post this and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIGHT NOW I'M HYPER!!!!!!!!
I have lots of reasons to be hyper.
Ok one (coincidental one LOLLLLLLL) is that the receptionist is leaving. End of next month she's going to another company to be their HR. After a 48hour course in HR. I wish them good luck with her. She's got a very abrasive manner which rubs people up the wrong way.
YAY!
What else is SUPERcool... hbbm is away on holiday, and he hasn't phoned too much. I'm finishing up with some minutes and then I should be fine for a while.
I'm listening to my iPod - CHEMICAL BROTHERS RULE!!!!!!
I am now finished paying off my debt to my sis. We got a little "bonus" this past payday, which I just transferred right across and now I'm FREE!! SUCH a relief!
We put in notice on our current flat - we're sick of the shit of having like a broken basin/shit neighbours/broken EVERYTHING and them not doing a single fucking thing to fix anything.... so we put in notice. Our 2 months of being grounded has begun. Yes, like two teenagers being grounded. We have to babysit the flat for 2 hours every day except a Sunday, so that prospective suckers can view it. Two months. They're sposed to let us know if anyone takes it before the 2 months is up so that we are freed from the viewing-duty, but I very much doubt they'd bother IF anyone actually takes the place - we're being VERY honest about what we think about the place.... ;)
That's exciting news. We won't have to listen to WW2 games at 2 in the morning, or the people upstairs "toileting" (the sound-proofing of the flat is NONEXISTENT... don't think too hard about that), or fighting or drunkenly shouting at each other, or people trotting up the stairs by our bedroom, or ANYTHING!! No more BINRETARD dragging bins past our bedroom window, or sweeping retard sweeping the aforementioned staircase which runs along our bedroom - imagine a wooden broom on cement stairs... banging against the wall as he sweeps along each step.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it's gonna be SO GOOD to pull out of that driveway at the end of August and pull a middle finger at everything that building stands for.
Pink block of shit that it is!
Ok now onto some MORE exciting news! We found a new place. A 2 storey townhouse with 2 bedrooms, an AWESOME bathroom (proper shower and separate bath with a MODERN toilet and a new basin with water-mixer = NO FREEZING WHEN BRUSHING YOUR TEETH)... it's got a parking bay just outside it, it has a CUTE little garden, with just enough grass to lie on, we can have braais, it has plants... the place has SUNLIGHT!!!! IT IS SO OMG AMAZING! I am so excited I want to move in straight away!
That's the main reason I'm excited, I think.
Here's my starsign reading for today:
Your feelings may be somewhat uncontrollable today as the Moon in your sign aligns with erratic Uranus. But don't worry; even though you don't feel emotionally stable now, you're really not any crazier than before. Allowing your mood swings to take you for a ride can be quite exciting as long as you don't try to act on every passing whim.

THAT IS SO FUNKY!! YAYYYYY I'm EXCITED but not crazy... erm but I knew that...
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Little Dude is TOO CUTE! I love our little brat birdie! He's so cute and mischievous, he loves playing with feathers in his cage, he's learning more and more things to say, he's SUCH a little character. I wish I could hug him but he doesn't seem to be a cuddly bird.
Gonna post some pics when I get home :D
My fish are GORGEOUS!! Cleaned the tank - the front pane was covered in algae which has bloomed because of the brighter light tube I put into the tank. Now I can see my fish again! They're so cute!
I'm on switchboard duty today during lunch. Sucks balls.
Siff! Someone just warmed up some stinky food... I love having a good sense of smell, but I hate the fact that some people don't realise their food stinks... I mean, come on... how can a samoosa smell nice at 8am?????? Gross!
What else is news. M & J moved into their new flat. Or rather, he did... she's still staying at home for a little longer. Gonna see the place on Saturday.

'I would have been killed had I not left the stall immediately...'
Bomblast rocks high-rise building - survivor tells of close-call
'luckily I never change the loo roll - the seconds that it takes to do that would have meant death for me'
Come ON people, no one died changing a loo roll!

Disappointment, disillusionment
I think I'm feeling a combination of the two.
With life as a whole... this isn't a rant about specific things, or it isn't intended to be.
It's just a blogpost about the (human) world.
How totally mediocre we are. There are great people in the world, who do things and make things with excellence. But they will always encounter the rest of us who do things with mediocrity, and their excellence will get dragged down simply because they had to deal with mediocrity and match up with it so that it works/is accepted into the rest of the world.
Mediocrity is a survival mechanism. You can do something excellently but the outcome/reward for it doesn't justify your effort. Doing things mediocrely (making up a word there hehe) saves you "wasting" time and energy on things that won't benefit you greatly.
It's also a bloody shit condition. Nature doesn't bother with mediocrity... every single thing, from the monstrously huge to the microscopically minute, is excellent... If it's not, it doesn't last very long. Sure you get some squibs and runts and 'special' cases, but on the whole, everything pretty much is perfect. Nature doesn't hash over the details, really. Ants don't just... hang around and sort of collect food, termites don't sort of make a termite mound...
Mediocrity in day to day life is depressing. I don't see why excellence is such an exclusive thing only for those who can pay "a little extra". Take a mattress, for example. You can pay tens of thousands of Rands for a mattress, or you can pay a few thousand Rand for a mattress. Both should be a good mattress. You shouldn't pay thousands of Rands for something and get a shoddy piece of shit, just because you can't afford to pay HUGE sums of money for luxury things. Same goes for clothes, shoes, food, electronic items, so many things come to mind. Decently made things shouldn't be a luxury.
What about an apartment. You can pay millions for an apartment, and it's a tiny, shoddily manufactured hole. Sure it's fitted with "luxury" things, like shiny taps and crisply clean cupboards, but underneath, they aren't so good after all. The crisp, clean cupboard is merely chipboard, the taps discolour and leak after a while, and the ceiling rains in. "That's how things are made these days". If you want something "better" (of a decent, good standard), you have to pay a HELL of a lot money.
You have to be rich even to afford a poor place... you have to be superrich to be able to afford a "nice" place.
Why? Because it's quicker and easier to make a load of junky things and sell them at a huge price than to take the time make something that lasts longer and is more valuable.
