It never gets normal

Almost two years since I've added to this crazy blog. Moved twice since that last post, and things are at least more settled, if not weirder. I now live with four others and apparently there are "demons" in the house and two roomies are battling over "blessed" food set out to appease them. I just shake my head when I hear this stuff going on around me. At least I have privacy here...nobody is telling me what I can or can't do, at least. Life goes on...

Oh boy

Well.....a lot of things have happened in the last 2 months.
I have a great new job, finally! I absolutely love it. Actually,
I'd rather be at work than at home these days. Does that
tell you anything?? lol
J is nice, but she tends to direct everything I do. I feel like
I'm living at home again, with my parents. I even get blamed
for things I didn't do! What fun!
The latest drama....I got food poisoning from her meat loaf.
I should have known better. The frozen chunk of ground beef
sat in the sink ALL day to defrost. It didn't look quite done in
the middle. I ate it anyway. Oh boy. That was Wednesday night,
today is Saturday....I am still feeling the effects. Of course it
couldn't be the meat loaf....because she feels fine! So I guess it
just sucks to be me.
She went to the store yesterday, and last nite I noticed a carton
of half and half sitting on a utility shelf in the garage, like she had
forgotten to put it in the fridge. This morning, she used it to make
chilies relleños for a thing she's going to tonite. With her co-workers.
I hope they have more than one bathroom......
Looks like she is going to buy a mobile home and move this year.
Not a problem with me...I'm already tired of being under a microscope
all the time. I am not allowed to have any food or drink in my room,
except water. What am I, a six year old?? Can't leave ANYTHING on
the kitchen counter. If I don't empty the lint filter on the dryer I hear
about it for days. She grills me about my hours at work. She actually
told me that she doesn't want me around on her days off. So I end up
hiding up in my room. Then she gripes I never hang out with her.
She assumed that I would move along with her. Ha. Her new mobile
home has a separate garage...she told me I could live in the garage.
WTF??? I don't want to go with her, wherever she goes. Her cigarette
smoke has become an issue and she doesn't want to hear it. She smokes
outside but opens the door while she's still putting out the cigarette,
and the smoke gets sucked right upstairs into my room. Of course it can't
be HER smoke....she says it's the people from 2 doors down.
Sigh. At least moving again won't be such a huge hassle, because I am down
to hardly any belongings. I've sold stuff I didn't want to sell because she
says my stuff is taking up too much room in her garage. I can barely move
around in my room, there is so much stuff in here. My room is 11 x 11, and
I have: a king size bed, headboard, three dressers, two bookcases, one
bookshelf, a recliner...plus all my computer and TV stuff.
Next time I get my OWN place again.

Is it March already???

Well well well. It's been WEEKS since I updated this!
Shame on me. Sorry but there is not as much drama here
as the last place. Oh there will always be drama....it seems
to follow me everywhere.
I did actually get a phone. 33 days after I moved in. Then I
got a new cordless phone (not a cell phone) but I keep
forgetting to take it downstairs with me, so I spend a bit of
time sprinting upstairs to answer the phone. The dog loves
it and insists on accompanying me up the stairs.
J told me I was weird. I said Thank You.
I'm starting to be sarcastic in return for HER sarcasm. I think
it's getting me brownie points. That and cooking. I don't start
my new job until next Monday so I've made dinner a few times.
Life is settling down. Stay tuned for future drama.

No, life has not gotten dull

I never knew dealing with cable companies could be so
much FUN. Even better is when your landlady gets caught
in the mess too! Happy days!
Actually thought that things were working out with my
phone. J (my current landlady) called the cable company
Saturday to find out what was going on, and guess what...
they had no record of the THIRD install appointment I had
made with them and lost like the first two. I even had the new
phone number and a confirmation number and they said the
number made no sense. I sat there doing a slow burn while
she talked to them, then she starts to set up ANOTHER phone
appointment for me. That's when I said Forget it, I am going to
call AT&T and get my own phone. Not doing this again. So now
I have to wait ANOTHER week (which will make it 25 days without
a phone here). At least it's under my control now.
Maybe.

Cable companies are brain dead

Gee, I thought my crazy life would settle down after
I moved! Ahaha, the joke's on me.

Still 6 more days until I get my own phone. *sigh*
Even after 6 conversations they had it wrong. So I
get to wait again. But my best friend is Queen of
Complaining to the Cable Company, and thanks to her
tips I have so far wrangled free installation AND a free
month's phone service. If I follow her plan, I expect to
soon have a free DVD upgrade, extra channels AND a
free car wash and wax. Well, maybe not that last one.
Free beer would be good.

Things are never simple

Well, at least I have cable TV and internet. But oh boy
did the cable company screw up on the phone.
Somehow instead of a new number for me, they put in
an extension of HER phone in my room.
Even worse, they switched her number from AT&T to
cable...WRONG. She wasn't changing it...she already
had a phone/DSL bundle. Well, not any more. Ack.

So here I sit waiting for the garage door to open so I
can go down and tell her what happened and tell her
that SHE has to call and find out what went wrong.
As far as the cable company is concerned they completed
their (screwed up) work order and left.

Oh boy.

Out of sight but not out of mind

Yes I'm relaxing comfortably at my new place.
No, I do not miss the moldy lemons...the pan...
or HER. My brain has been in a fog all week.

The new place is great. Not easy living in someone
else's house, but I will adapt. My new landlady is
really nice, although I think she thinks I'm crazy.
I still have no phone or internet until Tuesday,
and she doesn't "GET" that I feel like my life is on
hold until then. I mean, what are my friends doing?
Do they miss me? Did any jobs come in? Did I get
any answers to my resume? How are my babies doing?
I usually talk to my dad every day so this is a long week.

Well, I snuck onto somebody else's computer to
update my blog, just so all you faithful followers
will know that I haven't fallen into a well...just a
hole of no contact with the outside world. But
you just wait until TUESDAY.

You have been warned. Ha.
