RUDE PEOPLE

UGH! Why are people so RUDE.

So Friday, I didn’t really do anything. Wasn’t in the mood to. I worked on my mythbox. I moved it over from the 700mhz machine to a 2.2Ghz with SATA drive. So it’s much faster now. Very nice. It was a PAIN in the ass to get working. First I downloaded and tried Gentoo, but it kept crashing on the build. So I went with Fedora Core 5. I JUST got it all working a few hours ago. Lots of stress and stuff.

Anyways, Saturday I was supposed to help Mike move. He said he would call me at 10 to tell me when he’d be here… So i got up at like 8:30 and wondered around the house, ate breakfast, etc. 10 rolls around, nothing… 11 comes and I txt him.. “Where are you”… he’s JUST THEN getting the damn truck. He told me on FRIDAY that he was getting it at 7am! UGH! Said he’d be here at 2.

So I go and do laundry. Come back at 2. Nothing, wait till 3, still nothing. I txt him. “Where are you?”… “Just leaving Irvine”… So I tell him I’m going shopping because I’m not going to waste my whole day waiting for him and I wold come over once I’m done. Go shopping for an hour which is what it should have taken to get from Irvine to Redondo. Come back and he’s STILL not here yet… Finially at 5ish he txts me. “be there in 20”.. I wait ANOTHER hour, and sitll nothing.. “You here yet?”.. sends one back saying that he is here… THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU CALL ME. So he calls me and I flip out on him. I wasted my whole day trying to be NICE to him to help him fucking move, and he doesn’t even have the comon courtesy to call me and keep me up to date as to what’s happening. If you’re going to be 15 minutes late when someone is taking time out of thier day to help you MOVE then you should be on the damn phone letting them know and appolgizing.

I HAD wanted to go horseback riding with Austin, but cancelled that to help this guy. UGH! So annoying.

I also got in a fight with Andrew this weekend cause he’s going to the Getty Villa with ChrisA… He and I have been talking about going there forever… and now he’s suddenly got tickets and can go and doesn’t even bother to let me know. UGH! He was like, “well you can come along”… Yeah and be the third wheel, thatsounds fun.. then he said I could just get tickets for Monday… Again, sounds like TONS OF FUN! go by myself. thanks! UGH!

So thennnnnn. I wanted to go out, Jason and Austin had both earlier asked what I was doing that night, both had made indications (although no real plans) that we could do something that night.. So I message them both… OUT somewhere else. UGH! So I ended up sitting on my fucking couch like a loser again.

Soooo then….. Saturday I had talked to Jason about going bike shopping on Sunday, and getting together to talk about Germany… He said. “Sure, I have a flight @ 2 if weather is good”. So _ME_ that indicates that we have plans and that WE ARE going to go bike shopping. I told him I had a meeting at 10 and would be avaliable after. So I get home and message him, he says, “What’s today?”… UGH! UGH !HGHHGHGHHGHGHTUFHDGHGUHF! So then he’s like, “I’ll let yo know” blah blah blah.. 2 hours later, “are we not doing this today or what?”.. “help up… 2 more hours”… then I get a txt message… “saw leo dicaprio”… WHAT! WHAT!?!?? What the fuck are you doing! We made PLANS to go bike shopping, clearly.

UGH! fucking people. they are all really pissing me off right now. UGH!

Online Bullying

Omg… So I’m watching Dr Keith right now on FOX… They’re doing a thing on “Online Bulllying”.. Something about a myspace group called “The Plastics”. First of all, these people who say they are so HOT, etc are UGLY. The one is a big flaming fag, etc.

So these people are bitching about how this group apparently ruined thier lives… Excuse me!? These people didn’t have to TRY to join the group, these people didn’t have to keep going back for the abuse, these people could have used the BLOCK button! That’s what it’s there for. Get over it people.

These kids are assholes, yes… But having a whole TV show about it, having these people get so freaky over it…

I do have to agree with the fag boy on one point… “It’s just a myspace group, why are you getting so emotional”?! Exactly! WHY are they doing this?!

In other news. I went out today to get my hair cut. People are idiots! IDIOTS I tell you. I go into one store and there are 4 people sitting there waiting, only ONE person cutting hair, and I’m told. “Someone will be right with you”. You can clearly hear 4 people in the back room laughing, etc. I really wanted to go back there and yell at them. Ugh, that is NOT NOT NOT how you run a customer service business.

And they were filming The OC in Hermosa Beach last night… Ummm, did I move back to the OC and no one tell me? lol. Jason was pissed cause there was no parking because of it. Bastards.

Later.

Wasted Day

Ugh, so yesterday was a COMPLETE waste of a day. I had a meeting in Newport Beach, so I think GREAT! I can check out the Bike Shop that JP is always talking about. I check it out online, they are open on Wed’s! So I drive down there… Get in about 9:30 and I have an e-mail, meeting…. CANCELLED! Great… NOT! So I do some work and at lunch I drive down to the bike shop…. CLOSED! UGH! COMPLETLY wasted day! I didn’t get home till 8 last night, ate dinner and went to bed.

Woke up about 3:30 this morning from a horrible dream in which bears were terrorizing my family’s back yard. Random. They even someone dragged my Grandma into the pond. Thankfully we saved her, with minor wounds. So I go to check my cell phone (AKA, Alarm Clock & only clock in the house).. “Searching for Service…”. So I think GREAT! Another wonderful thing. I figure it’s just stupid so I take out the battery and put it back in.. “Searching…” I watch it for a while and nothing comes up, so I go searching the house for my watch, which I haven’t been wearing and had no idea where it was at. Finially find it and it says 3:30. I go back to bed, but of course now I can’t sleep because I’m affraid that my Phone has no idea what time it is and thus won’t go off in the morning.

So I lay there and lay there.. Finially it’s time to get up and my alarm clock DOES go off! Stupid phone, but it still refuses to tell me what time it is, just “Seaching….” UGH. I Shower and come back, get dressed and NOW it has service. Very annoying.

Drive into the office and get stuck behind some idiot who clearly has no idea how to drive… Speeding along 80mph, no one is infront of them, BRAKES! 60…. back up o 80… BRAKES.. 60. back and forth, and the traffic in the lane next to us was so heavy that I couldn’t get over!

I _REALLY_ want to go to Germany. I found tickets there in Nov for $550.. I found some in Jan for $626.. Anyone want to go!?!?!??! PLEASE! I’d be willing to make arrangements on costs. 😛

I also REALLY want to freaking buy a house somewhere. I’ve been looking online and reading up about what I need to do. I’m just too scared and I can’t decide WHERE to buy a house. Everywhere I think to look seems like a not good place to buy…. I just don’t know.

I spent a lot of time the other day updating my family’s website… I even sent out REALLY long letters to everyone explaining what I did and I created them all login’s etc. But no one has replied or updated it. 🙁

OMG, Terrorist in IOWA!… What’s going on over there you crazy Iowans?!

Well I have stuff to do, maybe. Adios.

Private: Another one goes to London!

UGH! My company is sending ANOTHER person to London, that’s 4 people! Why am _I_ not there yet!? Ugh, this is just really pissing me off. This is what I was HIRED here to do, why am I NOT the one doing it. My friend Jason says it’s because I work early and and leave early, but I don’t think that’s the issue, the CEO and both VP’s are VERY thrilled with the work I do, they know that I do a great job, etc. So I just don’t get it.

On the same note though…. I haven’t really been in much of a mood to work this week (mainly because of this news I feel). So I’ve spent the days sitting at my computer reading about cheap airfare, buying a house for rental property and finding myself contracting jobs. I’ve got bids in on two jobs. Hopefully one of them will pull through. If the big one does it’ll mean about $1,000 a month in added income. Yay! 🙂 That’ll put me over the next big pay rate bracket! How exciting. I’m sure with my luck though it won’t come through.

I’ve been really lazy and sleepy lately. Classic signs of depression and all. I get home and just lay on the couch and really don’t feel like doing anything. I fall asleep early and don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Very annoying

I signed up on match.com the other day. There’s a few good looking candidates on there, but I don’t want to pay the nearly $100 for a 6 month subscription. Though they say if you don’t find love in 6 months you get 6 free… So maybe it’s worth it? lol. I’m surprised that the other matching sight doesn’t do gay couples. Random that.

Gas prices are crashing down like crazy… I think it’s politics… Who knows for sure though. Thank god they are finially back down to something semi-normal. Hopefully they won’t shoot back up any time soon.

I’ve found flights to Berlin for $550/person. Jan 8th-15th. God I want to go!

White And Nerdy

50 ways a manager can get employees to quit. Soooo true, sadly I see some of these in my current job. Thankfully I don’t think I’ll be quiting anytime soon, but there are talks from others.

46 things I wish my mother told me about money. A GREAT read for anyone! I really need to take some of these to heart.

The clock now goes On/Off. But no clock function yet. 🙁 It’s pretty I think.

Who in the HELL drinks decaf coffee at 5:30am?!?! WTF is up with that people!

Have I mentioned that my car is now officially leaking oil? It’s been burning oil for a while now, but the other day I noticed some spots on the floor under my car. I figured at first it was just water from the A/C. But upon checking it was indeed oil. UGH!

Ok, so Friday I left work at noon and came home, bought all the groceries for the BBQ and then spent the afternoon cleaning the house up. My place looks GOOD! 🙂 Started cooking stuff about 6pm, and the BBQ went off without a HITCH!

I think everyone had a great time, at one point we had 10 people here, including the neighbor lady and her mom. That was entertaining. 🙂 Most of the night we had 6 people here. They stayed till about 2am chatting it up and having a great time! I actually had to kick them out! lol. Robert and Andrew both spent the night.

Saturday we got up and Andrew and I hung out here, made the left over burgers for lunch and thne went up to the Coffee Cartel, which is SO Cute! I’m going to have to start spending more time up there! I’d have to say that it’s better then Java Joes! We spent a few hours there and then Jason called and we went back to Abolne(sp?) Cove. Where we saw 3 Sea lions! It was SO cute! And tons of other stuff. Amazing place this is. Totaly going to the top of my second date list! 🙂

That took nearly 3 hours, so we came back here Andrew showered and then headed out. I laid down to take a nap so that I could go out with Jason later in the night… I didn’t wake up till 5am… Opps! I crawled in bed and slept till 8am.. So that’s like 6pm-8am of sleeping! I feel very refreshed this morning.

Mike is supposed to be coming over in a bit, but I haven’t heard anything from him. So who knows. I really need to go to the gym today.

So far that’s been my weekend. Very good times indeed.
