Sunday January 26, 2003

UPS never ceases to amaze me. Why do they insist upon some packages being delivered directly to the owner, and others being left at the location? Perhaps it's something I should research further. : )~

Woohoo, my Campers arrive tomorrow as does my GreenLightOffice.com order. I love that place! I'm addicted to office supplies, and GreenLightOffice.com has the best prices! Their packaging sucks, but at least it gets here pretty quickly (usually the next day) and shipping is only $5. I ordered some stampers for work, and some things to spruce up my Docs too.

I need to unload my images and get them posted. I hate that my PC only has two USB ports. My printer, camera, mouse and Net connection all run off of a USB connection. Luckily I also have the printer set up through my Zip Drive's parallel port, so that still works. But if I want to unload images and be on the Net at the same time, I have to unplug my mouse. I need to find the converter thingie that came with the mouse, but I guess I'd need to find the box first. I have this thing about not throwing out any boxes, so it's not going to be an easy task.

I plan on going to NYC sometime in March and I don't care if anyone goes with me or not. I will go and have fun, even if it's by myself.

The happy things I was babbling about on Wednesday's entry didn't come to fruition. One was a possible new VW, and the other was a possible new house. The VW was $2000 down, and since I'm only willing to do $1000 down that didn't work out. The house was cool, but no one was there when we arrived. This was after walking a good quarter mile in the 20 degree below zero weather. Needless to say, I called the owner and gave her quite a piece of my mind. Bitch.

I fell in the driveway on Thursday evening. Of course I bitched and complained, but it did no good. The landlords are soooooo lazy, they don't do anything. I've lived here 7 months, and have heard the vacuum 5 times total. Now maybe she vacuumed when I wasn't here, but still, 5 times total? Ack! I vacuum at least twice a week and that's if I'm feeling sick. Usually I vacuum at least once a day. Some people are so icky. I guess today my Mom saw Louie tie a rope to the bumper of his truck, and the other end to a sled. Then he stuck his 3 year old son on the sled and proceeded to drive around pulling his son on the sled. He even pulled him out into the street, which I didn't think was too damn safe. The 13 year old girl next door was being "led around" too, but at least she's older. Fucking crackheads, all of them.

I finally got on the chai wagon and tried some. It's actually pretty damn good! I am now addicted to tea, and buy up any new kinds I get my beany little eyes on. I bought some at West Point Market last night, but haven't had the chance to try it yet. Tea is your friend!

I think my cell phone battery has just about had it. I have to charge it an awful lot, and it runs down really quickly too. I'll buy a new battery just in case as my car did it's little temperature trick again last night. Here it is, 3:30 in the morning during a moderate snowstorm and my car is overheating. Figure that one out! I'll take it in for an oil change tomorrow, and I'll take it to Montrose on Wednesday. Willie's Muffler is going to charge me $70 for a new connecting pipe, muffler and hangie things. Not too shabby as AutoZone wanted $85 just for the pipe and muffler. Willie asked me where I worked and I told him "the museum up the street". He then decided to make the price even lower, and told me he'll give me the "real" price when I get it done. Rock out!

OK, I just noticed that my entries for yesterday are listed below, but aren't showing up on the Net. I shall copy and paste. Now they are showing up, so I copied and deleted.

I'm done, byeeeeeeee!
