The Vent Part Quatre

The roads here in Dallas are covered in ice and snow.... enough said.

~ Catherine

Hi Catherine! I haven't seen you around here in a while!

I actually want some snow! We were suposed to get it last week like everyone else, and we ended up with nothing but trace amounts. The most we've had all year is like 2 inches. That's really abnormal for us...

Not a vent but an update to a vent -

Derek finally had his rescheduled interview this morning and took the oath ceremony less than a half hour later. And I have to give a huge shout out to the employees at the USCIS office at Fairfax, VA. After years of being confused, frustrated, and generally pissed off by USCIS, these guys really bent over backward to help Derek out today. They even gave him his own private oath ceremony right after the interview. We were in and out in just about an hour! Though security did confiscate my tweezers, lol.

Now I can officially tell the rest of USCIS to kiss my ####.

Derekkj, you have to update your timeline now

so I found out recently that my husband who has been working with the same company for almost 7 years only makes about a dollar/hour more then the new hires .. when my husband started he was making about 3 dollars less then the new hires do now but I guess they raise the rates for new hires every once in awhile to keep up with the times..

anywho, every once in awhile they adjust the other rates to keep up with the new hire rates but they haven't done this since 2005 ... they have someone there now looking over everyone's rates but the person said yesterday that basically everyone is making what they should and some people are even being overpaid...

I think my husband should be making at least 3 dollars/hour more then the new hires...

some of the workers at the company have started the process of a union.. if anything my husband hopes that this might make the company give them a raise...

lately we have been having an issue with people not leashing their dogs. i've made complaints to the owners and the management. I don't appreciate dogs lifting their leg on my deck/balcony or my car..or leaving poop outside my window, the same goes for the inconsiderate morons who smoke in front of my open window.

now i'm a dog owner / lover. i have two beautiful dogs. a saluki and a labrador. i'm very respectful of my surroundings and neighbours, i walk them on a short leash near the building as i know alot of the muslims etc are scared of dogs. i let other people in and out of the building first before i go, and i bring them to the field to do their business and i pick it up all the time.

my labrador Brego has already been attacked by a cat who ran out of the house, that ninja punched him in the face, resulting in a bunch of little wholes that were bleeding. Now you have to understand, Brego is the biggest baby of a dog i've ever had. he is very sweet and snuggly and scaredycat at times, but he is also 95lbs.

Today, on our way out of the building, before the door even had time to close, an unleashed little chihuahua belonging to a guy i've complained about before ( no leash wont pick up poop, peed on my balcony etc) runs out of the bush at Brego and right into him.

Brego assumed it was a new teddy bear toy and immediately pounced on it and tried to pick it up in his mouth. He has tons of stuffies and chew toys that he plays with. he tosses them, pounces on them with both paws and then picks them up and tosses them again. He thought that's what this was. Needless to say the owner was down the freaking street, warming up his car ignoring his little #$%^% dog.

Brego was having fun even though i was screaming at him and at the other owner, since his dog was doing the little yappy squealing thing just like the squeeker toys we have ( no wonder thats what brego though it was). I think the dog is ok..he ran away scared sh1teless tail between his legs ears back to his owner when the guy realized something was happening.

i yelled at the guy asked him if he was crazy, that his dog should be on a leash, i've yelled at him before for this so have other people. I mean never mind other dogs like mine, there are cars that speed down the street, people pulling in and out of the parking lot who dont even watch for people let alone kids or dogs. And the guy says nothing, just stands there. All he could do was ask me if my dog bit his. I mean c'mon..#######..

i asked if his dog was ok and again the guys says nothing, just walks to his car and throws the dog in it...

i'm upset about this for many reasons. but of course my dog Brego and I are the bad ones in this it seems..sigh. I'm just wondering if i have anything to worry about, being that people know he is an idiot and i did complain multiple times in the last month about dogs running loose around here...

I'm sorry Kimbear....the bad dog owners really give the rest of you good ones a bad name. I don't get why people don't care more about their surroundings. We are not dog owners (Although we like dogs) and I'm amazed at the number of people who will let their leash run long and allow their dogs to come right up to my flower beds and pee....I mean really...we have common areas where they can take their dogs, there's no need to go on someone's lawn. My husband yelled at one little lady one day. she was just chatting and letting her dog run all over our lawn....she seemed stunned when he told her off.

Awesome news.....I hope to follow in his Fairfax footsteps in the coming months

That sucks Kim, we have 2 labs and know matter how much we watch our dogs if you have the big dog its always the big dogs fault. Some ppl are just retards and then they have retard dogs. We stopped going to the dog park since ppl can't read the signs to keep the little dogs out of the big dog side and then they get mad when they get squished.
