You know you take taxicabs a lot when the cab drivers squabble over who gets you as their fare; the dispatchers know you well enough to tell you jokes you actually find funny and you're the topic of conversation at company parties.

I think that even ruder than people who don't know when to leave are people who don't know when to arrive.

Today one of my mom's friends came by the apartment at F****ING NINE in the morning. Not only did he interrupt my lie in with a nice book, the whole thing upset my mother because she couldn't remember how to ring him in from downstairs. Plus the fact that she had been, you know, SOUND ASLEEP BECAUSE IT WAS NINE AM!

And then he has the nerve to be all... Oh... You're not dressed, yet????

Uh. NO! BECAUSE WHERE I COME FROM IT'S NOT POLITE TO COME CALLING UNANNOUNCED!!! God, how I hate this! It would NEVER occur to me to just show up on someone's doorstep without first giving them prior notice. And I certainly wouldn't call the same day and expect them to rearrange their plans just for me.

I don't know what is wrong with people.

My plan to sit and do nothing did not come to fruition. The cleaning lady babbled while she was cleaning.

Boo.

Oh well... I'll do nothing while I sleep.

Spent the afternoon trying not to fall asleep. Went out to sushi which kinda gave me a second wind. Came home and did some church stuff which took half an hour. Did some co-op stuff which took a couple of hours mostly because the damn program kept bulleting parts I didn't wanted bulleted.

I finally resorted to looking in the help section. After a couple of attempts, I actually figured out how to get around it and after that it when quickly.

In a few minutes I am going to head off to bed where I anticipate falling asleep almost instantaneously since I had so little sleep the night before. We'll see how it goes.

So far this has been the BUSIEST YEAR EVAH!

*is not amused*

Today is my birthday. Today is also the day also the day I lost a friend.

I just got off the phone with Telus. I called them to cancel my internet because I just recently purchased the Rogers Rocket stick and it works just great.

They're going to put in my cancelation request as of tomorrow but they won't credit me back the three weeks on my bill. Neither will they credit me back the 120.00 they charged me while I was waiting for them to fix my internet. Which, obviously they never did if I had to go use some other internet provider.

I'm so mad, I do believe I'm going to cancel my landline as well.

I don't know what it is about being female that makes men think you're an idiot. And yes, I realize that's a huge blanket statement and not all men are like that but whatever :P

( THE MACHINE IS OFF!!! )

It's no wonder they kept women drugged up in olden times. The incidences of homicide would have otherwise been off the chart.

I took the day of rest thing literally and slept the day away. Maybe I should try saying I'm NOT going to do anything and then I'll be able to stay awake.

As much as the credit card companies fret and worry about identity theft - all for YOUR benefit of course, never mind the increasing fees due to they say paying for increased security measures - they're the biggest enablers of identity theft out there. My credit card statement is usually never less than three pages. One page is the actual statement. The other two pages are propaganda for whatever they're pushing that particular month. Now I wouldn't care about this except, I kinda do because HEY TREES! but those two USELESS pages have my name, address and CREDIT CARD NUMBER on them.

I'm a dutifully careful person so I shred all my paperwork that has sensitive information and today I was going through the day's mail making piles for what was recyclable and what needed to be shredded. That's when I noticed it. Those two extra pages have my information at the top of the page AND at the bottom! Talk about over kill.

If they really want to help prevent identity theft, maybe credit card companies should stop plastering peoples information ALL OVER THE PLACE. I know my credit card number and they know my credit card number. Why do they need to put it on pages people are never in a million years going to keep? It would be really interesting to know how many people actually bother to shred documents with account numbers etc on them.

You know the paperwork stuff I was supposed to do on Saturday and then Sunday? I got started on it on Monday. I was actually only looking for ONE thing but since I have billions of piles of papers all over the place, on Monday night, I decided I was going to consolidate all my piles into one HUGE pile as I looked and then deal with that.

So! Three days in, and not only did I find the thing I was looking for, I can actually see the top of my kitchen table for a change. Today, I stole some file folders from the boss because now that I have my huge pile, I need to sort it. I sorted into years and filed a bunch of it before calling it quits for the night. Will continue sorting and filing until I'm all caught up again.
