Things that make me go hmmmm

So I called the bank yesterday, turns out that some jackass DID in fact clone my bank card and tried to steal $240.00 from me…  Nice try but it didn\’t work!  Stupid thing (on their part) is that MY bank knows what machine was used and they all have security cameras now dumbass!  So I got a new card today with a chip in it, supposed to prevent fraud.  In any case I am exceptionally grateful that my bank was on the ball and put a hold on my account so that they couldn\’t steal any of my money!

My hot water tank won\’t stop over-filling so I have to leave it off unless I want to use it which is a HUGE pain in the ass!  Because I have to turn the valve back on, and flip the breaker, wait for it to fill and heat BEFORE I can take a shower or wash my dishes.  Because the electrical components are EXPOSED and likely going to short out and catch on fire!  I\’m amazed that it hasn\’t already!  Of course my landlord said that she would be by \”sometime this week\” yeah I think not, I WILL be filling a complaint with the Regie Du Lodgement!  I don\’t care HOW far out of town she lives, I don\’t own this place and its not MY problem to arrange to have someone come in and fix the damn thing.  Along with my heat which isn\’t important now but that\’s really not the point.

There\’s a lane way behind my work that has a few houses there and it turns out that one of them has become a crack house.  How nice!  Apparently the guy that lives (d) there befriended some very undesirable people and they started squatting there and I guess he finally called the police on these so called \”friends\” and the city and the police dept have had to step in and take over.  So there was a team of people in there clearing everything out so that it wouldn\’t be condemned and the managed to fill an entire dumpster that\’s oh I dunno about 20 feet long and at least 10 feet deep with trash from his house.  This guy had papers dating back from 1995.  I can\’t even begin to fathom how someone could live like that.

Also 2 of my co-workers found a baggie with a straw inside, outside of my work…  Cocaine anyone?  Then there\’s this crazy swine flu going around WTF is that all about?  Another epidemic that we can\’t explain?  Its somewhat reminiscent of the whole SARS scare  Also there\’s been a hepatitis A breakout at some Tim Hortons in New Market ON, how lovely is that?  Go in for a coffee and leave with liver disease…

On a final note: Rufor  (whomever the hell you are) your a doucebag!  You honestly think that i\’m going to let you spam my comments about some stupid anti-virus?  Oh please!  Most likely goes to some sould sucking porn site.  Sorry my friend, I plan on doing that already…

Another reason for me to…

Dis French people!  Jesus Christ, they\’re so flipping rude sometimes!  I go out today to pick up a few more things to clean with and what not.  I know it was 4:45pm and that bitch was likely at the end of her rope, however that\’s NO reason to be rude to me.  I told her I was paying by interact, the lines getting longer, she for some reason keeps glaring at me ALL THE WHILE I\’M WAITING FOR HER TO PROCESS THINGS ON HER END! So she gets all pissy, cos yeah that\’s *MY* fault?  But of course, apparently.  The little screen says not approved, so I\’m thinking WTF its Saturday, I just go paid yesterday and there\’s NO way I blew through my $1500.00 a week interact limit already because I almost never have that much in my chequing account at one time.  So I said its needs to go through again she\’s freaking out and spitting (literally foaming at the mouth here) and says to me in French you need to swipe your card, yet the screen still says Welcome/Bienvenue so she\’s all sighing and moaning and carrying on.  Again it says that its not approved, I of course the debit queen have no cash so she flips out again.  I told her to fuck off and I left.  Ignorant bitch!  So I decided to forgo my foray into IGA just in case my bank account was compromised in some way (which thankfully it wasn\’t) I\’m assuming that there was likely some sort of network/system error.  Whatever its irrelevant, I\’m more annoyed by this ignorant bitches attitude!  Not my fault you have a crappy min. wage job because you obviously can\’t do any better.  I was tempted to punch her in the face but that would have taken effort and I couldn\’t be bothered.  I tend to get exceptionally cranky when I\’m not taking my BC pills 🙂

Finally scraped all the damn paint off my cupboards which was a huge pain, but its done and looks 100% better then it did!  Cleaning up little flecks of paint wasn\’t exactly a joy either but whatever.  So my livingroom/kitchen has been overhauled and cleaned from top to bottom.   Bedroom/bathroom is next.  I don\’t have a huge apartment but i\’m cleaning/clearing out everything this time!  Was going to pop in and see Gil today but I ended up taking a nap since I was woken up twice last night, once because my bladder demanded my immediate attention and the other was because of this horrendous dream I had ugh!

I might go and do my laundry tomorrow, or I might just wait until Monday.  Most likely do it tomorrow morning though, get it out of the way.  Start cleaning my room from top to bottom and then John\’s coming over for dinner after work 🙂  Once I tackle my apartment then I can start working on my website again.  Right now though my living space and myself requires a little more attention as of late and for a change I\’m putting myself first.  Who would have thought?

TGIF!

Oh man I love Fridays!  Especially now that the weather is amazing in so many ways!  I got to leave early today because it was quiet so I headed off to see my dentist and made an appointment to start repairing my teeth and what not YAY!  I am actually excited about going to the dentist, which is insane I guess to some people but I have one tooth that has been the bane of my exsistance FAR too long and its coming out!  I\’m getting the chipped one repaired first and I have a lone cavity to be taken care of then I\’m getting porcelain veneers eventually.  When my wisdom teeth came in when I was 15 they pushed my teeth all out of alignment and smashed my 4 front teeth together with a minor, barely noticeable overlap.

Well now that overlap has turned into a gap and I HATE my smile because my one front tooth is horrendously crocked and has a gap UGH!  Thankfully my dentist does porcelain veneers so I\’m going to be asking about those when I see her next month.  Then I won\’t hate my smile anymore because my teeth will look as nice as they used to!  Its a bit costly but a worthwhile expense since I\’m only 30 and the type that she uses is good for 20 years, certainly cheaper then braces!

I *think* I got the last few things I need want to finish off my apt by the weekend.  A friend of a friend is a general contractor and is willing to come in and fix my heating for me.  He\’s going to replace the existing unit, install a digital thermostat for me as well so I won\’t freeze this coming winter.  Kind of pointless to have it repaired now but at least it will be DONE which will be nice and I don\’t have to pay for it either!  I don\’t own this place so its not my problem!

John gave me $80.00 in gift cards for Old Navy at Christmas and I\’m finally going to go and spend them.  He originally got them so I could buy the wool winter jacket I was lusting after but since we didn\’t exchange gifts until AFTER Christmas I didn\’t know and ended up buying the jacket in Ontario while I was on vacation.  I do however want a nice jacket for spring/fall so that\’s what I\’m going to shop for.  I have 2 already but I want one that\’s more appropriate for any occasion.  My denim one looks nice with most things and so does my other jacket but not everything if that makes any sense.  So it\’ll be nice to spend someone Else\’s money for a change 🙂

Tomorrow is laundry, then off to see Gil and the last finishing touches I need to make to my apt and spring cleaning.  The people who lived her before me painted over the melamine cupboards with oil based paint which didn\’t stick very well and was going this God awful shade of off white/yellow-ish color and was driving me nuts!  I got most of it scraped off with a scrubby pad and I plan on having the rest of it off by tonight.  Now they\’re white like they\’re supposed to be.  Who uses oil based paint on a type of plastic?  I thought to myself WTF were you thinking?  It looked hideous and nasty!  Not anymore, thanks to my OCD\’ness ha ha.  I am however totally kicking myself for not taking the apt with the closet and washer/dryer hook-ups neither of which I have here but I didn\’t like the layout/carpet in either of them so I took this one instead.  It didn\’t dawn on me that there was only one closet in the bedroom and no where else, so storage is a bit of an issue.  I just wish I had somewhere to stash seasonal stuff like my fans and what not as opposed to the one in my bedroom which is crammed with those things.

Well hello spring!

I started some hardcore cleaning at work, hello spring and hello to kicking my OCD into high gear ha ha.  The boss lady of course loves it.  Me personally I need to have things neat and orderly in small spaces.  My kitchen is a tiny space with little room for storage so order is necessary.  Its nice though to have everything looking so clean and shiny!  Its rare that I actually have time to accomplish such things and when I do have the time then I attack it with gusto.  Problem is I keep getting interrupted with phone calls and customers if I happen to be working by myself.

Now if I could clean my house with as much vigor then I would be golden! could stop being such an OCD clean freak then I\’d be OK!   I just always have too much going on, as per the usual.  I need to manage my time better I think know and stop procrastinating so much!  Soon Today though I am going to set aside a day and just start to tackle everything that needs to be done.  Really though my main focus is getting my business off and running which I have been slacking off in the department in a really bad way as well.

I need to get my taxes sent in too, I finally got the last T4 slip that I have been waiting on so I can get that out of the way.  My apartment is finally looking the way that I want it to.  Just need to tweak a few things here and there.  I\’ve just been SO drained lately!  Going to bed super late certainly doesn\’t help matters at all either.  I just hate tackling things that I really have no vested interest in doing, like my taxes, housework that sort of thing lol.

Strangely enough though once I get the ball rolling then there\’s no stopping me.  My OCD seems to kick into over drive and then it becomes almost an obsession to get it done and out of the way.  Strange how that works.  I need to create a list of things I need to do and people I need to call by the weeks end.  Then maybe I can restore some order to my insane life for a change.

I finally heard back from my insurance company about wether or not they\’re going to cover my ultrasound.  Their response:  We need more information, please call our 1-800 number.  Are you kidding me?  I have this oddity that makes my boob burn, I need an breast ultrasound to see what it is because Dr. Hottie PAnts doesn\’t have x-ray vision, medicare DOESN\’T cover them anymore and I can\’t afford to blow a weeks pay at some fancy diganostic clinic regardless of how bad I need to get it done.  What else is there to tell?  Granted I can give them tons of TMI details and because I have to call them and blah blah blah I will, why? Because I can!
