So it's been like 3 months since my last blog, and that's a relly long time. I know. But I just haven't been able to bring my self to post a blog. I woork long hours and I've been sick . . . But I promise to tell you everything! And no make sure I tell you everything, I wrote an itomizes list of what I need to say and I'm using it as subtitle. Smart no? Yes, I know, it's stupid, but it's 9:30 am on a friday, so back off . . .

40 hrs shifts

So first tings first. When Im move from my parent's hose to my own apt, I got a job at a call center doing customer service for a relly neat credit card. The job it's self is fine, the people I work with rock, and the building is so pretty. But the people on the phone . . . Oh my God! They call in pissed off, and yelling, and then the won't hang up! It wouldn't be nearly as bad if we worked normal 8 hours shift, only we don't. Our hifts are 11 hours long. That's right, 11! I work fom 10 am to 9pm, or 9am to 8pm, depending on the day. Well needless to say I called in sick today with a "migrane". I don't actually have one, I just hate my job. I'll go in around 5pm and do a partial shift.

job makes me sick

Now here is an other reason I hate my job so much. I deal with other people's money, yelling people. I don't deal well with yelling people under the best circumstances, and these are no where neer good. So, my stress level is through the roof and when that happens, I get sick. I really and literally go. I haven't been this sick since I was in Equador with Food and Water disease. You know you need a new job when you care a bottle of pink nausea liquid in your work bag. That's right! I'm the pepto-bismol queen!

interview, stick in a cornor

No since I hate my job so much, i've been applying elsewhere. Yesterday I sent out 3 application. And this morning just as I was putting on my socks to leave, the phone rings, which happens alot in the morning. (more on that, see BRENDA section for details). I pick up the phone, and it'ws the job I eally want calling asking for an interview on Monday. Oh course I say yes! This is a data entry job. It pays a little less than I make now, like30 cents less, but this is what I want to do. I'm a office work at hard, like my Mom. My ideal job involves my boss sticking in a cubile with a stack on work, and saying "you have till friday, good luck", than leaving the hell alone the rest of the week. And that's what this job is! I'm excited! And I still can't spell . . .

apt, view

Moving on. I think I have mentioned my appt previously, and at one point I will have to take pictures, but I do love my apt. I mean really love! It's fairly large for the price. Square footage is probably the same as a small townhouse's first level. It's 2 bed room, 1 full bath, walkin cornor kitchen with 2 exits, patio/balcony wich is about 4' by 10-12', massive patio door, and I mean big! and large living area. I love my apt, and I will love it even more once we get it painted. We're thinging mossy green for the bathroom, make it kinda Zen, and a light brown, maybe a pale mocha for the living area. My room will be purple! We all remember this conversation, the one that involves a color named Buffy, well that color still stands, it will be 2 walls of my room, desk wall and window wall, and the light purple will be bed and door walls. I'm excited.

Oh and the view! Oh good Lord! I have only seen apt view this good in movies. Our view is kinda like Aladdin's, it rocks! We get the most incredible sunset every night! The balcony looks over the city, so haze yes, but taht's what make good in-city sunset, lots of bright vivid colors. Love it!

Brenda

So Brenda. Any guesses who Brenda is? Is she my roomate? No, her name is Caley. Is she a relative? Good I hope not. No Brenda is the name of the woman who had our phone number before us. and she's i finacial trouble, lots and lots of it! And becasue of that, we happen to know lot about Brenda. Breanda use to order a fair amount from Pizza Pizza, and for some reason had a password place on the phone number for when she make orders. Yes that's weird. Brenda also used the same garage that I currently use, and own more than one vehicle, including a Honda. Brenda also have atleast 3 oustanding debts, atleast one of which has made it into 3rd party collections. (for those of you who know nothing about collectiosn, 1st party if the nice people who call reminding youowe money from last month's bill. And 3rd party if the people who call up and start yelling. They might also call your friend, family and neighbours in order to get you to pay your bill which has been oustanding for several months. That's third party collections)

Back to the point. Brenda is a deadbeat. She changed her number, and Bell (phone compny) being smart as it is, gave that number away way to son. So now my housemate and I get "Brenda calls". Yes, we get so many, they have a name. We also share details about Brenda. One of her 1st party debt is with Mastercard, and I don't mean like BankCard Serices MasterCard, oh no. I mean a staright forward straight from MC credit card. and she has paid her bill.

Little tip about debting. Don't mess with the big companies. They might be able to afford to right you off, but they won't. They're huge and can easily outsource. They will hunt you down! DOn't mess with them. If you don't want to pay youe debt, do it with a small no name company. They'll try and collect for th 9 months I think it is, than they will carge you off. and If you're American, as long as no other company picks up your debt, it will be removed from your credit report in aproxx 10 years. Now, enough about finances, let's move on . . .

clean room, garbage

My room in current clean, very little on the floor save acouple plasic bags from a store that I want to save and will put away. I jut have to take out my garbage, which I hate going. WE don't have a garbage shoot, we have a dumpster, so taking the garbage of recycling involves, not only the garbage bags, but only putting on pants AND shoe! Than taking the elavator down 5 floors. It's alot of work. Not really, but I don't like it . . .

plates, e-test

So today is my birth days, and for any one living in either Ontario or Quebec, you know that that means that you have to get your vehicle plate renewed. Well I got that done yesterday, yay me! I could have otten it done sooner, but I thought I needed my E-Test done. (that emissons testing for vehicles. It's part of the clean air act) I passed on my first try on Tuesday. Had a lazy, lay day on Wednesday, and got my plates renewed and my registration undated yesterday. I was happy. Only bad part, I did NOT need my e-test this year I don't need it until next year . . . Oh well. Atleast I know I can pass it ynext year.

Bones

I was at my parent's house last week on my days off, it was labour day and I have the 3 days following that off from work, so I drove there and spend 4 days. Well I was getting bored, so I decided to rewatch Bones Season 1. And well I ot a little addicted, so when I came back to the apt, I continued watching it. My housemate came home from work and got interested, now she's ubsessed. She hasn't watched anyhing since! I also picked up season 2 at Wal Mart, and rewatched that. I love getting my housemate addicted to tv shows. This is the forth I think; Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Farscape, and Bones. That's 5 . . . As soon as she comes off her Bones high, I'm gonna work on getting her addicted to Roswell.

Well I think that's enough for now. Hopefully I'll become a regular blogger again. Even if I don't, I have been reading your blogs, and I've just never ben a big blopper, we all know that. Well so long for now.

Ahny

So it's day 6 or me not being able to accept subs and it's starting to piss me off. I keep getting Javasript errors, or sometimes nothing at all. And I don't even know if it's the new system's fault, or if it's my computer and/or internet connection. In truth I would love to be able to blame my internet connection, I hate it! So any more reasons to hate it would be apprechiated. Any know who I would talk to about this?

Changing subjects, I have moved, did so 16 days ago. Started training at my new job, and tomorow (monday) I start my first actually day there, should be interesting.

My room mate need to see the flat or my fist, but more on that later.

The appartment we are staying in is older and hooked up for Rogers anything which is sad, I love Rogers. So instead me have Cogeco cable (gag!), and Bell internet and phone. Not really happy with any of it. I miss Rogers . . .

That's it for now, hope evreryone is having a good weekend.

lvl 29 5%

There's too many bugs in the system to make any subs accurate, or in the case of the current sub in my queue that I can't accept, sorry Sarah, I'll keep trying every few hours.

To tired to post about life, sorry.

Lvl 29 5%

This stupid lvl bug is driving me a little bit insane. I was a lvl 1 on saturday and sunday, than Monday I was fixed in early afternoon, but back to lvl 1 in the evening. SUnday, all day lvl 28 which was great got half a dozen subs in. Today, lvl 1 again. In all honesty I would prefer just staying lvl 1 for 4 days, it would be easier on the temperment. Atleast we would know for sure when the bug was fixed.

So I needed to post a blog anyway, and I also want to rant, 2 birds, one stone.

I'm not sure what I have posted and whatI haven't so I'll just post everything.

So we have the appt, it's pretty, but I don't live there yet, I move on friday and I start my new job on Monday, 2 weeks of training to become a Customer Service Rep for a finacial firm, second chance credit cards. Should be interesting. I quit the call center job I've had for a year last week. Pretty uch I got the call for the new job and I quit even if it ment I would not be working for a week. I meant I would have time for packing, going to auctions with my dad, and shopping for the missing stuff. And I've been shopping, baskets and bookcases and shelving, and decorations. Got the magority of the stuff done and bought. The rest can wait until after the move, stuff like curtain rods, plants for the window box, hooks, easy stuff.

Also, the spell checker doesn't work. So for once the errors arn't my fault.

So as of yesterday I was lvl 28 (Disco Stu) 93%, today it's lvl 1 10% (again)

I need to move my newly repacked boxed from the basement to the living room, and I don't want to, so I'm writing a blog instead. Today was a busy and long day. Woke up around 11am, watch a little tv on my computer (hell's Kitchen). My dad left aroun 12:30pm for his auction, and I set into motion. I spent the next 3 and a half hours redying my hair to a more office accepatable color. So now instead of purple streaks, they are red. I really like it.

After that was a bit of break time, which included a little more tv (Tudor and Kyle XY), and my first meal of the day, cesar salad with chicken. Than I organized the bags in my room, packed if you will. When to the Dollar store. Came back around 8:30pm, did a little tv.com, and resigned myself to deal with the basement boxed. Took my dad super cool Ipod watch, and dealt with all my boxes (well the ones I saw right off the bat, anything else can wait), and restacked them closer to the stairs. Now I just need to bring them upstairs . . . But I don't wanna.

I have a job interview in St-Catharines at 11am tomorow which means we (my Dad and I) have to leave around 9am. Which means I have to be up around 8am so we can pack the car . . . I don't wanna . . . .

I'll deal with the boxed in about ahalf hour, it won't take long just don't feel like lifting stuff.

lvl 28 (75%)

Man, I'm exhausted. So I'm finally home, my 14 item queue is empty and I have new hair. I dyed it at my friends house, and my Mom hates it (YAY!). It was mousy brown, it's not black with "Fuschia Shock" streaks. The Fushia is from a company called Manic Panic that Iw ould recomend to any who dies there hair off the beaten path. Here is their web site, they are based in New York, but they have already infultrated Canada, so they're getting around.

 http://www.manicpanic.com/

(Hopefully that link works, been having problems linking on Tv.com. It's gotten complicated for not reason.)

And for those of of you who want to see it here is my car:

Yes I know I'm one of the only 21 years olds out there who would not only consider but actually buy the Soccer Mom car, but it's so pretty inside! Leather seats, and not buttons and gagets that I ever thought possible. Ever hear of Park Aid? Me neither,. but i have it. It beeps at you if you're within 1 foot of and other car. Cool no?

I like it, I can afford it, it's mine. All done.

And just so you know, I tried to spell check this blog, but it so didn't work. So for once, the spelling errors not my fault, and yes that is how my logic works. It's a good form of logic, you should try it some time.

Yes I'm writting a blog cuz It's been too long. But I dont actully feel like writting one so we are going back to bullet blogs.

- I bought a car, an Oldsmobile Silhouette, 2003 nicely decked out.

- My call center is closing in 2 months cuz the head office sucks!

- I will be going to a friend place for the next few days (sunday to tuesday). I will have access to the interent but not all the time, so It will take a little longer than my typical 12 hour turn-around queue time.

- My mom is still driving me insane! Any snipers for hire out there?

Okai so I was in the Editor's Lounge looking for 123home's accuser and I came accross and kinda funny debate over the "Twinky Defense" and where the reference should be subitted. DJU010 made the following point which highlights exaclty the way I think and edit so I stole it until I can revamp it enough to add to my submission guidelines (not that any one ever reads them) (really wish we could add those to the front page of the guide, or atleast a link to them!)

Anyways, here they are:

Here is what I think:

1. When it refers to an event, an object, product, person, brand - just something existing with a name - then it is an allusion.

2. If it is some kind of 'life****#39; that is indicated or even an explanation what the 'twinkie defense' is (when mentioned in the show), is a trivia item (here you even could make an additional allusion, if the real case is mentioned as well.

3. If an event, product, what so ever, influenced the production itself, like: the rush on red leather jackets after a Micheal Jackson video release was so big, even the production had to shut down for a day.
Or the rush on these jackets was so big, everyone had one on the set, so they used them as well in the scene A.
That's what is a note in my eyes.

P.S. I think I know who 123home's accuser is. (What? I need to make my own fun, I'm already done with Sleeptight's trivia game . . . .)

Days until my lease starts: 38

So there's this new user submitting to ANTM, and I mean, realy new, a lvl 2 who doesn't have the basic coding down. Now that alone isnt a problem, the problem was that me manage to get 2 subs stuck right in the middle of 2 regular submitters who never get formating wrong any more. So when I got too his subs, I didn't look too hard, and I obviously didn't notice any formating errors. Opps.

Each sub had a formating error, one was bolding, one was italics. NOt a big deal right? Well for the bolding, it wasn't, he just forgo to close it, it was removed  no problems. The italics however, are alittle more tricky. the sub now looks something like this:

J. Alexander (about Dionne): (edit)

That's it, nothing else showed up. It normaling wouldn't be an issue, yo click on edit and fix the problem. Well in this case it's an issue. The foramting actually incudles the edit button to suck and extend it is now part of the submission and unclickable.

So the question i put before you al today is; How do I fix this?!

And for any who desparetly need to see more of the submission, this is the page. It's not a clean page, the epsiode aired on wednsday, so everything's till all up in the air.
