Stupid Upstairs Neighbour!

The person who lives above us feel asleep while his portable washer
(not allowed in this building)
Was going. It overflowed, and surprise!
Ah .... Lucky Bobby and I.

My Condo Got Messed Up....

So I get home this evening and the floor is covered in water, my
counter was covered in water and so was my computer!

The Road Conditions Earlier Today.

Yay Canada! NOT! Snow and I are not friends.

Garlic bread as promised

:)

My New Favourite Food

I'm eating a lot of salad lately. So I'm trying to make it interesting
so the last round had grilled chicken ontop of salad tossed in
cucumber salad dressing. I made garlic bread to keep it interesting.

The over the top price of breakfast at eggsmart for 3 people.

Eggs Bemny

This is my favourite breakfast item usually... This time it sucked!
Stupid eggsmart.

Expensive breakfast!

Seriously this is what it cost for 3 people to have breakfast.
If it was an awesome breakfast I wouldn't complain... But it wasn't
THAT good.

Scammers.

I would like to know what people are thinking?
I was talking to a friend of mine recently and they were telling me about this scam that's been going around the facebook motorcycle community.
Apparently there is this guy who seems to think that he was wrongfully accused and charged with speeding.
So there are friends of his soliciting 2-5 dollars from other members of this group so that he can fight his stupid ticket.
Is it just me or are you also offended by this bullshite?
I've been the unlucky recipient of traffic tickets, and frankly I deserved them. I fought them and won. Had I lost I would have paid my fines and watched my insurance rates go up like a good little girl.
Not this guy. NOOOO. He's crying that his insurance is going to go up, it's going to affect his employment and he could even loose it. WAH. Boo fucking hoo... Seriously.
What is wrong with the world today? No one takes responsibility for their actions, and every one has this retarded misplaced sense of entitlement.
Those of you who would even consider giving this dumb fuck a cent have lost your fucking minds.
When his friends were confronted by certain members of this online community they said that "he" wasn't asking for the money. They were asking on his behalf. That's still fucking shady as he's part of the group. He should speak out then and say that he has nothing to do with this and doesn't condone it, and that he doesn't want others to pay for his crime (innocent or not).
I hate shite like this.

I am so angry about this.
GROW THE FUCK UP, grow a set of your own nads, stop relying on people to get you out of trouble that you clearly got yourself into, and most of all shut the fuck up and stop your crying.
ARG!

It's 5 am...

... and Lisa, Pedro, Bobby and I are just hanging in the living room. Who knew we would become such a tight little family. It's kinda awesome.
You see, it all started last night when Roland called me and asked if I would be interested helping him out at the Wedding Show this week end.
I was so excited. He said that he wants to help me out because of my situation with my past partner.
The only problem is ... I have work, a baby shower, and a very important lunch to deal with prior to even considering attending the trade show with Roland.
As I accepted, I realized that I didn't have any business cards, and of course I don't have a portfolio put together for my new company.
I didn't have the time to do it last night when he called.
So after work this evening, bob and I grabbed a quick bite at the Keg ( The same location he proposed to me) and came home. I was waiting for Lisa and Pedro to come over but Pedro fell asleep, and Lisa had to finish her resume.
I was waiting for them to come by the Condo so that I could get them to help me out.
As it turns out... Bob fell asleep on the couch, and time flew by, and no one was here.
130 am rolls around I figure I should at least try to put something together.
It took me like 20 min, I got it together. I called Lisa. She said to pick her up. I drove to her house, got her in the truck, and hopped on the 404 and drove to Bloor and Spadina.
What a drive that was. As I pull into the parking lot for Kinko's there was this group of drunken people, they wouldn't get out of the way, so I lightly touched the gas pedal and this fucking hose beast of a cunt hole says to me "Don't run me over"
My response could have been so much better but I was so stressed all I could muster up was "I wasn't planning on it, but when you didn't get the fuck out of the way I thought I would try seeing as I don't have all fucking night"
They gave me cut eye the whole time I was parking and the whole walk from the truck to the front doors of Kinko's. I have to say that I was so glad that the Lise was there.
I think she kept me calm.
Any how I get in I drop off the USB key the guys take the file and tell us to come back in an hours. (just so you know an hour would have made it 4 am) Lise and I then proceed to drive to Brentcliff for coffee and snacks, and to the bank so that I could pay for the business cards.
then we drove back.
All was good in the hood. The cards were ready, and the boys behind the counter were happy to see us back. I'm guessing it was a slow night.
Lise and I Careeokeed the whole way from her house to the Kinko's and to Timmies, the Bank, back to Kinko's and all the way home again.
The Careokee was only briefly interrupted but a phone call from Pedro ... he just woke up, and was wondering if we were interested in coffee.
So Sure ... WHY NOT.
Did I mention I forgot the USB key at KINKO'S! Fucking shit!
I haven't returned to get it so now I am sans USB.
... and it's great that all of us are in my living room!
Wish me luck this weekend is going to be SUPER LONG!

Good night/morning!
Love you guys.

Office Drama???

Ok so... Last night I was working, and this very lucid NUT CASE comes into the office asking for my Boss. I told him he wasn't in. He insisted he was in because he had seen his scarf on a coat hanger by the door.

I thought I might actually be wrong so I tried his extensions. SURPRISE there wasn't an answer. He then asks me if the gentleman on the phone in the lobby was an agent, of course I said yes because he was.

He told him he need to find a place, then directed me to get him some coffee, (I was totally like WTF???) I went any way he might actually be a client. He then proceeds to use up all our amenities, like Internet and such, I even found him at my desk on my phone upon my return (fetching his coffee!), I couldn't take my calls or get back to work until he was done.

Don (the agent) noticed that he had crossed the line and asked him to the closing room.

What a mistake that was because he then made himself comfortable, and turned OUR closing room into his personal office. People started calling here for him!

Like this one guy, he asked for Jimmy Devine. I said I didn't know who that was. He practically yelled at me saying that his brother called him from this number I should know who he is... At that point I deduced that the whole family is NUTS!

Any how... there were a few agents here, and they called my Boss to find out if he actually knew this guy seeing as he Name Dropped. My Boss told them that yes he did know him, but he is a little looney and that he shouldn't really be here. He said he's not dangerous, but to stay here with me until they got him to leave.

So that ended well last night. He was gone and life is good right?

Well I found out that he is on a specific industry list of people to be careful about.

Then...

Guess who decides to drop by the office TONIGHT???? .... THE NUT CASE JIMMY DEVINE...

This time I didn't think any one was in the office. He asked me to get and agent to call the office to speak to him ... and I did. The agent called, spoke to him and their conversation was over.

Frankly I think that's part of his modus operandi... He makes it look like he has actual legitimate business in the place he is harassing, and then can run his craziness there.

The funny thing about this is that I am used to dealing with nut jobs. You know the ones. They are outwardly fucking psycho, so you know whats coming and you can be aggressive with them.

This guy wasn't like that at all. When I say LUCID I mean it. Totally lucid, calm, soft spoken and intelligent. Like Hannibal Lecter.

That was creepy.

I found an agent (the one remaining) in the office and he was here last night so he knew the situation, he said he would stay as long as he needed to.

The guy just started making out going calls to random people. He was talking about patients and appointments and shit like that.

I don't know if this guy is a megalomaniac or something like that, but WOW.

Safe to say he's gone now, but I think he'll be back in the morning. I'm glad I won't be here, but not happy that the girls who will be here will have to deal with him.

All I have to say is he better not be anywhere near my vehicle when I get outta here tonight.

Fucking shit.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all.

Lise is at it again...

So here we are in my living room once again while Lise tweaks Liz's
plan... You go girl!

Hangin in the PJs

Stupid Aunt Flo actually showed up on time for once in my life.
I'm feeling like it must have fluked the right day, fucking asshole.
So here I sit in my flanel teddy bear pj bottoms, pink fluffy socks
and hoodie awaiting the arrival of my sister in disaster (Lise). T. V.
Sucks. I want to eat junk food by the ton, but have none.
Ah the joy of being a girl. Yay!
Hurry Lise, I'm going pmsbatty!

I just used Shazam to identify Afrika by Karl Wolf.

So i used this App to identify a song and artist.

It let's you document the moment you first hear the song by allowing you to take a picture during the moment you hear the song.

It also allows you to send an email to friends introducing them to the song, artist, and app. Love it!

Here's the email it sends:

Hi,

I've just used Shazam to identify Afrika by Karl Wolf. I thought you might like this track.

If you have Shazam on your iPhone or iPod touch, tap here to add this tag to your list. To get Shazam on your iPhone or iPod touch visit the App Store.

Shazam is free to download and use, so check it out.

Cute People.

Lise hanging out on the couch! iphone in hand!

WTF????

So ... I am sure you've all had your fair share of parties to attend this holiday season. My Last one was last night.

I didn't really want to go but it had been a while since we've seen this friend of Bob's and his family so I thought it would be nice to take some time out of our sched to visit with them and their friends.

It came about in a stupid FB msg. The wife was asking if I was going to RSVP for the party or not, because she needed to know how much food to shop for. I said that we'd be joining them and politely offered to bring something if needed.

She asked me to bring desert stuff.

At this point after that convo, I figured that there was going to be food at the party. I am sure that assumption wasn't overboard. The woman wanted us confirm our RSVP so that there would be enough FOOD for every one.

Why am I always surprised????

On the way to the party the Bobby, Pedro and I picked up a Cake for desert. (Not just any cake, a Raspberry Chocolate Cake... $27.00 worth of awesome cake.)

We get to the party, and Food consisted of Snacks.

Why?

Seriously. What kind of fuckery is that?

Snacks: Some Sausage Rolls, Some Meatballs, Cheese dip, Chips and Spinach Dip with Vegies. I am not even remotely kidding you.

If you are putting out SNACKS then don't tell people that you will be making FOOD, and to Bring Desert.

Say I am making appetizers or finger foods, could you bring fingerfood like deserts?

That would prepare me for the fact that I would not be eating and to eat before hand. Also it would let me know not to BLOW the money on a Cake for DESERT if we're not eating Dinner.

SERIOUSLY.

Is it just me?

Really?

If it is I'll understand.

NO NO I WONT! GIVE YOUR FUCKING HEADS A SHAKE PEOPLE! Have some fucking class, and state the situation as it is.

Fucking white trash mofo.

ARG!

So mad.

I'm In Love!

So Pedro ordered one of these Noel Collection Metalic Series hard mirrored Cases.
He ordered the Royal Blue color. We have been anticipating its arrival. To tell you the truth I wasn't sure it would look that awesome. Then Pedro came to visit, new case in hand, and both Lise and I fell in love.
It offers full protection for the phone. There are openings across the top, bottom and side for access to all ports and buttons. I think those openings would be the achiles heel for this case, because god forbid I ever drop my iPhone that would be the exact spot it would land. :
The top is mirrored so if in a brightly light room there is some reflection, but seriously, this case is all about the form and a smidge less about the function. It is sexy. It will protect the phone, it will get people asking you what the hell it is, and more importantly where you got it.
I want one.
Maybe next paycheque.
Good Choice Pedro.
Now to see what Lise's new cases look like.

My New Phone...

...That's right, my Christmas Present to myself, albeit late was the 16gb, 3g iPhone in white.
I chose the white because it looks kinda sassy.

I posted about the trouble I had to go through to get it a few days ago. I have to say it was incredibly worth it.

The applications available through the AppStore to use with the iPhoone have made my day more than once.
From applications that let you see real time traffic cameras, and weather conditions, to games to keep you sharp.
This is going to go down as one of the best purchases I have made in a while.

My next step is to find a way to get one for the Bobby. :D I love him so much and I think he wants one too. I can tell when he looks at mine. He is now the proud owner of a 32 gb iPood touch, but it's not the same.

I think I might be hacking it at the end of this week. I haven't decided yet. I'll keep you guys apprised.

Again thanks to Lise.

2008 Meh...

... No really.

I don't know why it is that every new year we think things are going to get better. Honestly why do we set our selves up for that kind of disappointment?

I think that 2007 was probably one of the best years I've had ever.

Don't get me wrong there were a lot of good things that came with 2008.

The Condo is one of them I guess. I am glad that Bob and I took that step but on the other hand there are days that I think that could have been our worst decision.

Frankly there have been a lot of ups and downs but the over all consensus with regards to the past year is MEH!

There haven't been any serious ups. Or Ups that would be considered to make your year.

Countless Job Interviews.

No new position.

Poor Bobby's stuck at that stupid company and they haven't given him any guaranteed hours.

They're starting to treat him like shit there now too. they do it to all their employees.

Money has consistently been an issue, and continues to be.

I've never had so many trips to speak to the branch manager at my bank in my life. EVER. Most if not all of these trips consist of me crying due to some error made by a teller.

All my friends have been going through some of the worst crap I could imagine except for one. Nadine somehow manages to find her way above all the crap. God bless her.

Meh... to you 2008.

Let's see what happens in 09.

Traditional Greek New Years Fare.

This is a VASILOPITA it's a cake that every Greek household makes and in it somewhere is hidden a coin. The cake is cut and 3 pieces are removed for various reasons. The cake is then served to the family and guests.

I had like 4 or 5 slices of this cake in less than 24 hrs. New Years Eve, and New Years day... I still feel fat.
