The Vent - Part 2

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

Rant time!

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE getting forwarded spam emails. I just got one from my dad's wife (I refuse to call her my stepmother) about how to protect yourself from being raped and she says in the email that any time she sees it, she'll immediately forward it because of how good the information is. It has statements suggesting that a rapist will choose you based on your hairstyle, your clothing, etc, and then goes on to list how to protect yourself.

Being who I am, I headed on over to Snopes ( ). Of course, it's an email full of BS (as I personally know, but won't get into).

My first instinct is to send her the snopes link, but I really don't want to piss my dad off.

Grr.

You could always put her emails in the "spam" folder and most email services or clients will just start automatically placing her emails in that folder

or just sign her email up for some interesting emails......

I should sign her up for some Wiccan newsletters since she believes witches are evil.

and some porn sites.

I've got a list.

Today is just not my day. I feel lost, confused and upset. And now with things on the rocks with my SO I am just not sure who to talk to. I don't even think I SHOULD talk about it for some reason. I know what I want I just can not seem to find the right timing for anything.

Hang in there, we're here for you.

We have had company since last Friday. They left today. While they were here they kept the doors to the spare bedroom and the bathroom they used closed. Today after they left I opened them and almost suffocated from the smell! Musty, moldy, yech! Both rooms were spotless - and I even had an air freshener in the room to make it smell nice - when they arrived. I don't know how they got the sheets to smell musty but they did - they are in the wash now with bleach and hot water! They had the bedroom window open (even though it got into the 40s overnight) and I can see why. I had left out clean towels for them - 2 sets for each of the couple. I found them all, damp and smelling of mold stuffed into the waste basket of the bathroom, along with one of the extra sets that hang there for effect but aren't really used. They must have used a different towel or two every day and instead of letting them dry, just balled them up damp and put them in the waste basket! These are good towels - I hope they recover after being washed as well! Now, these are two adults who both own their own homes . . . you think they would know better! I honestly don't understand this at all. I have Fabreezed all of the surfaces in the bedroom and will be doing it again and cleaned the bathroom with Fantastick. There is still a lingering odour in the air of mustiness and I have kept the window open. They were only here 3 days! And to think I was worried that they might smell the cat litter box in the laundry room next door (they didn't cause I scooped it several times a day).

Ewwww. Maybe they won't come back. lol

Ugh. My MIL constantly forwards me spam. The first few times I told my husband that they were on Snopes as false and could he please let her know. The next few times I told her they were false and sent her the links with a nicely worded message about checking them out before she propagated the rumours. I now trash all her messages without reading them. My husband tells me she wonders if I'm receiving her messages because I never respond to them. I haven't told him that I don't read them. lol

Today is just not my day. I feel lost, confused and upset. And now with things on the rocks with my SO I am just not sure who to talk to. I don't even think I SHOULD talk about it for some reason. I know what I want I just can not seem to find the right timing for anything.

I'm sorry, Brad. I hope things work out for you.

Two vents this morning. First, on my way to work this morning, i'll admit, I was speeding a bit on the freeway, only 5 MPH over the limit. It was also very foggy this morning so I didn't see the police car creep up behind me. I did see him when he turned his lights on. I start to pull over, cursing the whole way when I notice that he kept going until he got to the next car in front of me and did the same thing. Lazy fvcker was using his emergency lights to get people to move over so he didn't have to make a lane change. Now i'm not even that lazy.

Second vent, I had a quick meeting this morning at 7:30. Was just a quick status meeting and I handed over my progress report on a project. Well, I get to work at 7:00 and I see that the conference room i scheduled from 7:00 to 8:00 is occupied by 3 female co-workers. My meeting wasn't until 7:30 so I wasn't going to kick them out until then. At 7:30 when I went in, I can see that they have dragged 3 of the 4 phones in the room to the center of the conference table and they are all huddled around a radio. These are women in their early to mid 30's huddled around a radio trying to call in to win tickets to see the new twilight movie. Which, I would have snickered at,none the less, but would not have had to so loudly ejected them. They asked me if I could move my meeting to another room because this was the only room with 3+ phones where their little portable radio got reception. They wanted to use a conference room because then they wouldn't have 100's of calls to a radio station on THEIR phone logs. I was polite in ejecting them. I only needed to remind them who would be coming to my meeting. They did vow revenge of some sort though, and told me that I just didn't get it. Oh I get it. You're in your 30's obsessing about a teenager movie...... Oops did I say that out loud?

I HATE TWILIGHT!

It's terrible! The acting is absolutely horrendous. Like really? Are people really eating this ####### up??

It just goes to show that much of the youth of today lack substance.

I totally agree. I saw the first movie and thought it was pretty bad.

The books aren't even that compelling to me either. I stopped reading at #2. I wish I liked it more, but I just don't see what's so great about it.

WORD!!!!!

It's the end of cultured civilization as we know it!

Someone bring my box of wine now!

Second vent -

My brother, who is well aware that I'm an insane worrier with a panic disorder, sends me a text this morning telling me "Unfortunately, we need to talk ASAP" and then doesn't answer the phone for the next 4 hours. ARRRGH! I suppose if I didn't only get those kinda texts from him when something REALLY bad happens, I wouldn't be so worried, but the last time I got one from him it was because a mutual friend of ours died.

I'm sure it's nothing, but in the meantime...just GRRRRRR. Stupid brother.

On hold Music that is SO FREAKING loud and just slightly off the channel as to be buzzy and annoying.

Wow. I was just on hold with a company and I had to hold the phone away from my hear or else risk permanent hearing loss in my only good ear.

Kermie doesn't hear so well to begin with...

While working at Home Depot I had to call credit services for a customer...I was put on hold and for the next 20 minutes had to listen to the Friends theme song in MUZAK...I put it on speaker so everyone within a 10ft radius had to endure with me

So, I get up this morning and I go to turn on the lights and nothing. We live downstairs in my in laws house (yeahhh, its my palace..) and for some reason, none of the lights will turn on! Only the bathroom works. I called them at their business and they said they'd do some troubleshooting and call be back. Still nothing. Meanwhile I'm sitting in the dark like a loser.

Oh and that glue stuff on my hands? Still can't get it off. Its wearing down... slowly... but dang, its annoying the hell out of me.

Its only Tuesday and its already a week from hell!

Huggles? I have this hilarious image of you in my head! You have big, giant glue covered hands (big and giant due to the glue) and you're sitting in the dark all by yourself twiddling your big, knobby thumbs.

I can say this only because I know you're a cutie in real life based on your pic....

But nonetheless, I laughed.
