3 steak soft tacos makes LJ a very happy girl. Of course, my tummy is full so I'm wanting a nap. Not good since I have to go to bed in a few hours anyway.

DAMN YOU, fates. DAMN this fucking constant travelling employment that K and I are always going through. I JUST got back into town less than two days ago, after being gone for three weeks, and he's leaving Tuesday until mid-October! GAH! I would like a whole month someday where we both live in the same apartment every single day. But that sounds like a wild and wacky concept.
*grumble*
Oh well, at least I'm home and I have my friends and my cat. And I'll get more schoolwork done and all the various writing I have to do for my screenplays and my PhD applications. But dammit, I miss him. I JUST got home!

8 hours rolling a white drop ceiling with black paint. I've had some dumb ideas in my time but trying to roll a drop ceiling may be one of the very dumbest.
Bonus- the semi-gloss paint didn't match the paint I used on the tracks/rails at all.
$80 for more paint and the industrial sprayer rental, I get to redo the entire job tonight. Joy.

My cat won't get off my lap, and I want to go to Subway and get me a sammich. I think I'm gonna teach her how to fly. }:D
P.S. This was A JOKE. I am a loving pet owner, and I really do not intend to throw her out the window or anything cruel or evil like that. I PROMISE.

Just one more day of school and my first week is over. Yippee!
I have the same accounting teacher I had freshman year. He told us that one out of three students would not finish the class. I wonder if he remembers that I was one of those one students who flunked out?
I realize how my account got phished. They must have gotten into my friends account and sent me a message from her. I thought it was odd that she sent me a boobie video lol.

It is almost midnight... I feel hot sticky and just plain dirty. I know not why or how. I fixed a garage door opener, a new booster seat, and tried to relax. There was nothing that did not require extreme work to cook... so I ate beef jerky, a pudding pop, drank a few more cans of Dr. Pepper, and ice tea back on the jerky. I feel like a bogan.
Now I'm in store for another bloody day of desk side hell. I just pray I don't walk into a shit storm. I am only trying to fix things and it is tying my hands on one computer, the next level up is down a bloke, so they are not even there... I'm just tired I suppose, does not help I come home to WWIII.... at least right now, it is still mostly a ceasefire, with the occasional unintended terrorist action. At least we have the new vehicle secured. I really just want to KFA, but right now I'll settle for a shower.

Haha Oh, he knows he's got it good! His eyes nearly fell out of his head when I told him he could have whatever he wanted in the store. He was good, though. He knows money is tight, so he only picked two small things - a little box of raspberries in dark chocolate and a vanilla carmel bar in milk chocolate. I know he's going to enjoy eating them tomorrow!

Wait a second! I've never heard anyone else ever talk about Qdoba. I effin love that place! When I lived in Philly I would use diningin.com and order delish quesidillas. Yummy. I'm jealous now.
On a side note. Of course the only two girls I really don't like that much worked tonight. It sucked and I was pissed off made no money so I came home early. What a waste of gas!
I so want to work tonight and make some money, but I have another stupid dr's appt during the day and other things I have to take care of that are gonna screw my work regimen up! GGGRRRRRR!!! I might seriously have to work Friday night, no if's and's or but's about it. I need money, money, money! ...And more money!

i don't know how much more sadness i can take. My stepmom had breast cancer a few years ago and it almost killed her. She lost all of her teeth, had sooo many complications and just when we think things are fine. She has a stroke 2 weeks ago. A minor one, but still a stroke.
And now today.
I just got off of the phone with my little sister. She called to warn me that my stepmom will be calling me.
She has cancer again.
Stage 4.
fuck fuck fuck.
what do i do?
I feel so useless.

That's so lame. Can you get some passerby to do it?
britt244
08-30-2007, 01:26 PM
haha, what am i supposed to say to my neighbors? "excuse me, can you please blow in my breathalyzer since youve been watching me try to do it for 20 minutes?"
seriously, this is BULLSHIT. you have to blow for like 4 counts, then keep blowing and start to hum at the same time, and keep blowing at the same speed and everything, and when you hum it has to stay the same for the whole time.. and i dont know what im doing wrong! there are times it works on the first try and then times when i give up, like right now. im crying im so frustrated. and then when i have to do it when im driving (real smart way to make people drive more safely) i only have 6 minutes. if i dont do it right, my horn will start to beep til i get it. its just absolute fucking bullshit.
and then once i get my errands done it wont matter because i'll be stuck there not able to get home! i seriously just want to scream and throw things right now.

You have to blow in it WHILE driving??? Ummm...how is that better then driving buzzed? It is forcing you to take your concentration off driving. Thats retarded...how infuriating.

I can't even comprehend how that is supposed to work in my mind. I tried doing it in the air and i think it's impossible. Have you researched anything online like maybe it's the brand? I don't know I'm grasping at straws but that sounds incredibly ridiculous.
And the blowing while driving thing should not be included because like cameron said that's worse then driving drunk. And I know I can't drive if I talk on my cell phone at the same time so I don't think that should be required at all. It's bullshit.
britt244
08-30-2007, 01:40 PM
I KNOW! twice yesterday i made 15 minute long trips and i had to blow twice while driving. i could understand for a long trip, or maybe once in case you had somebody else blow, but in 15 minutes it went off twice. absolutely fucking ridiculous. its no safer than driving drunk, especially when iget all frustrated and scared that my horn is gonna start beeping because i cant blow right.
it doesnt matter about the brand, thats how they all are. you cant just blow because it could be compressed air, the guy said. i really dont know how im going to deal with this.. i literally cant start my car and its because the thing is ridiculous, not because im drinking! which, by the wya, you get 5 chances to mess up! PER MONTH. before the machine goes into lockdown. this is just pointless.

britt244
08-30-2007, 01:49 PM
what other choice do i have? :-\ in md when you blow over a .15 (i was a .17) you either get a breathalyzer for a year if thats what you want, or no license for 90 days. i cant do that.
cameron_keys
08-30-2007, 01:56 PM
That sucks. With a capital S. But maybe it would be better to get rides or something for 90 days then deal with this BS for a whole year. And if can only screw up 5 times a month..you may end up carless anyway. not to mention how downright dangerous this sounds.
Theres no choice thats good here...but 90 days of inconvenience vs. a year of inconvenience....I'd explore the options(rides, taxis, etc...)
G-Real
08-30-2007, 01:58 PM
britt: I was checking their websites, and it says the device has to be recalibrated every 60days. perhaps when it was installed it was never calibrated correctly?
Also it says you need to blow 1.5 liters continuously, which is alot, as you have found out!
Just an idea on the calibration thing though....
britt244
08-30-2007, 02:03 PM
cameron, when i said you can mess up i meant blow alcohol levels. when you blow wrong it just says abort and it doesnt count as failing. i cant do the 90 days, i could prob get rides to work but not school. i live a *minimum* of a half hour away, and thats with no traffic.. and then add to taht parking.. so if someone near school had to drive to get me and then drive us back it would take 2ish hours just one way. and my internship i couldnt get rides.. i cant afford cabs. im not working much during school and i have more bills this semester and stuff.. it just isnt an option.
g-real, i have to go back every month. it works fine sometimes though, thats the thing. i was convinced, though, at the place when they had me practice, that it wasnt working right haha. but the guy could do it fine. im just not blowing correctly.. its hard!
this sucks. seriously. thank you guys for the suggestions, though.

There's not much you can do medically. But many people believe love, caring, and just being there has been known to cause miracles. Sometimes the better state of mind and more support a sick person has, the more likely they will recover. Think about it: if you're stressed, your body is less equipped to deal with healing because stress drags down your immune system. So the best thing you can do for her is keep her moving and do your best to make her happy.
Also, any vitamins or supplements that will jumps start her immune system, anything, might help her as well.

Pretty much all women have that little curve. It's where your reproductive organs are. Embrace it and love it, it's what makes you womanly! My friend was anorexic in college and tried to get a hysterectomy to get rid of hers. Fortunately she couldn't find a doctor to do it and she has a much healthier self-image now.
On other random notes, I am making balsamic blackeye peas, corn casserole, and mustard greens for dinner. The greens are already in the crockpot and they smell like spicy vinegar goodness, and I keep thinking about the buttery corn casserole and I want to eat RIGHT NOW. Gah. Don't wanna wait for dinner!!
