You work too hard and you're making everyone else look bad. Your boss is trying to slow you down.

That's the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences building, which also houses offices of the Communication Department, Sociology and Psychology Department, Math Department, English Department, Foreign Languages Department and it is the BEST BUILDING and where I nap the most when I am on campus. Plus side, good timing though, during winter break in the middle of the night when no one's around.

Blaggy,

Just watch The Wizard of Oz for the first time. My favourite line is, "You have no power here. Begone, before someone drops a house on you, too." My favourite character is the suicidal munchkin.

Patrick, I really feel for you. Wish I could help.

Dear blag bread,

This morning I was supposed to go into town with a friend to get tickets to Big Day Out before work. He didn't show up until I was just leaving for work. It all worked out since he offered to go and get them while I was at work, now I have my BDO ticket. Yay!

Eris · « **Reply #4505 on:** 28 Dec 2009, 03:11 »

oh hey, you're an Aussie!

Why are you going to Big Day Out? Do you... do you have a southern cross tattoo?

FIXDIX · « **Reply #4506 on:** 28 Dec 2009, 03:35 »

Hey, I am actually a kiwi! But my dad's Australian, so I guess that counts too.

Main reason for going is that a whole bunch of mates are heading to it so it's basically just gonna be a hugeass fun time for all. That and we don't get very many good festivals.

What's the thing with the Southern Cross tattoo?

Inlander · « **Reply #4507 on:** 28 Dec 2009, 03:41 »

It's how we identify our dickheads. Kind of convenient, actually.

Spluff · « **Reply #4508 on:** 28 Dec 2009, 03:45 »

It'd be more convenient (not to mention cost effective) if we could get a tattoo for people that aren't dickheads.

Eris · « **Reply #4509 on:** 28 Dec 2009, 03:46 »

I normally play a game when I am at festivals where I keep count of how many Southern Cross tattoos I see. They are a handy indicator of places where I will get pissed off at drunk people being dickheads right in front of me when I am trying to watch the bands onstage.

Right now I'm listening to a live recording by a band called Half Mile Fox Fur, which I found on my computer. I don't know how it got there, but I suspect someone on meebo linked me to it last week when I was to drunk to remember it now? I like it quite a lot thus far.

that is sams band dom. i gave you that link. enjoy it.

in other blog news i learned exciting things about my blog. im driving to my cousins haus today and then my boy donny texts me and is like talkin about the weed drought then mentions how ive got a shout out on merchant ships myspace. most of my blog post i did on them from my music blog is what entails their sounds like section now. it's pretty fuckin' rad. link

I'm thinking of submitting this to fmylife.

Today, my ipod(that I was borrowing from my boyfriend, who's now deceased mother bought for him) got stolen by a coworker. So far they haven't found it or who took it. About an hour after arriving home for the day, I get a call from my boss. I assume its about my ipod, so I answer. I got fired. I was told it was because the company is downsizing, but I have reason to believe it is because of the girl I don't get along with who is friends with my boss. She calls me retarded everyday. Thursday marks the one year anniversry of my two year old, developmentally disabled(or according to science, medicine, and law, retarded[because to retard something is to stop/slow down its development]) sister's death.

Fuck. My. Life.

I am sorry to hear you got fired Emaline!

Guys I have (almost) a week left of (awesome and paid) holidays and so I am pretty much getting paid to hang around the house in my underwear with my boyfriend who is getting paid to hang around the house in his underwear with me!

Also I have the family Christmas shemozzle out of the way now thank goodness. My parents spent the whole 4 days telling me how fat I was getting/am going to get! AWESOME. And how Aaron will leave me for a pretty girl! And that I can't play derby (but will anyway). Thanks parentals, see you next year!

The only explanation is that some people are crazy. My grandmother used to tell my mom she was chunky all the time, and my mother was a 114 pound gym rat through her late teens to mid-20s. She was a freakin' fitness model at one point.

So, as I mentioned in my earlier post, while at work today, my ipod got stolen by a coworker. Originally, I had figured I'd try to figure out who/how to get it back, while at work tomorrow. But now that I'm not working there, I'm figuring that my exboss supposedly looking for it is going to be even less effective. I'm half thinking of calling the police tomorrow if I don't hear from the boss. But I don't really know if that's a good idea.

Will they actually do anything for a stolen ipod? Is it just not worth their time? Would it be dumb and maybe vengeful seeming of me to get the police involved?

Its honestly not vengeful. I was thinking of involving them before I got fired.

And I'd really like the ipod back. It was my boyfriend's. His mom bought it for him for graduating college. It meant a lot to him. So I'd really like it to be returned safely.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #4525 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 03:35 »

Probably go in a couple of times to make sure they keep looking for it. If they give you any shit or try to discourage you from looking into it just say "ok well I guess I'll have to go to the police then. I need to get it back."

Jace · « **Reply #4526 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 06:44 »

Let me give you some insight into my life real quick. I am trying to be out of my apartment by the evening of the 30th (that is, tomorrow evening). I was running errands all day to get things done, one of the things I have started doing is packing up my stuff and taking it to my parents' house. Well, I had to stop in at the apartment office to see about talking to them about getting off of the lease, and she was busy. I figured rather than waste the trip and go back to hang with my stepdad until dinner, I'd stop in and grab some of the laundry I need to get done. Further backstory: My laundry hamper has been a stand in for the trash can that my flatmate put into his room because he was too lazy to walk 30 feet. Well I took the trashcan/hamper took the back out of it and set it on the floor, mind you I am in a hurry because I'm trying to get shit done, and I fill it with laundry and leave. A couple hours later I see this message through facebook on my phone, it is from my flatmate's fiancee:

Quote

So I dont know what the hell your problem is but I am officially done with it. That little b.s. stunt you pulled this afternoon was breaking point. I am done defending you to your friends and to your brother. You want to act like you arent here then fine with me. You are living in my room that I paid for and you are being straight disrespectful to the one who has fought to let you stay. When they wanted to charge you for 18 days of rent I was the one who said no and when your friends say that youve become an asshole I was the one who defended you and said he is about to make a huge change in his life and watch what you say cuz you will all miss him and now you are being a dick to me? I would highly suggest getting out of my room faster than originally planned..your get out of jail free cards are all used up.

A few key things to point out here are that I am fully paid up until the end of the month. The rent for the apartment is 831.30 and there are 4 people living here. Splitting that comes to 207.825, I gave my flatmate 207.83 at the beginning of the month. Oh also the electricity and internet that they've been using, those are both in my name, and my stepdad has been paying those every month without always getting the money in a timely manner from the other people living here. That all ends soon though. Oh, and how she calls it her room, I don't even think she is on the lease.
I still have no idea how to talk to these people without telling them that they are stupid and they should have facts before making accusations

tl;dr DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA, but its okay because I am moving out.

Oh, also an old high school friend and I are gonna go on a date, just because.

glyphic · « **Reply #4527 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 08:00 »

I feel stupid for not understanding what happened in your story. I read it twice, but I just am not grasping the concept. Is it a metaphor? You put your clothes in your flatmate's trashcan, which is actually your laundry hamper and his fiance got pissed at you about it?

Is this happening?

Jace · « **Reply #4528 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 08:06 »

Okay, I am terrible at putting my thoughts in an organized manner.

I had a large blue laundry hamper.
We had a black trashcan.
Flatmate took the black trashcan, and put it in his room because he didn't want to walk out to the living room to throw stuff away.
I was tired of there just being a bag of trash always laying in the corner, so I moved my laundry hamper to the living room and put the trash bags in it.
That is how it has been for a few months
I am leaving, so I took my hamper and put clothes in it, then took it to my parents'.
The fiancee has no idea anything about the possession of things in the apartment. So she got pissed.

Also, I have been avoiding them by staying in my room with the door locked. I even lock it when I leave.

glyphic · « **Reply #4529 on:** 29 Dec 2009, 08:58 »

Now I understand!

I've done the lock-the-door-of-your-bedroom-when-you-leave thing with roommates before. After a while, they turned it into a game of trying to figure out ways to break in without causing damage to the apartment. The only true success was when one roommate hid in my closet for THREE HOURS waiting for me to leave.

They had a brilliant plan to throw a party in my room and take pictures of all the sordid affairs that were going on and then clean everything up and make me a scrapbook, but didn't follow through. I actually would have appreciated it, I think. Instead, I got a poster board with NICE TRY written on it.

tl;dr: roommates are amazing creatures.

Also, it rarely solves any problems, usually it starts problems because people want to fight.

She is batshit, I believe that she is counting her+him as one payment rather than each person paying their way.

Its okay though! because apparently they are moving out on the 31st to a one-bedroom and I am moving out on the 30th to stay with my parents for a bit. before heading to the frozen north. Also Andrew W.K. is having a Q&A at his club in Manhattan on Feb 23rd. I really really want to go.

I'm pretty sick right now with something...don't know what. Really nauseous and have bad heartburn and feel dizzy. I had to call in sick to work which is something that I have never done at any of my jobs, ever.

Then I come downstairs and find out that my father left the door open from when he left about 6 hours ago and the heat's been running at full blast this whole fucking time, and we're almost out of fuel now.

Blog Thread,

You never return my calls or emails anymore Blog Thread. When I saw you yesterday I swear you crossed the street just so you wouldn't have to say hi to me. I don't know why I keep coming back to you...

I am going to be getting footage for my cable public access show tomorrow at Saranac Lake at the First Night thing. This will include interviewing somewhat famous comedian Moody Mccarthy! http://www.moodymccarthy.com/

Other than that I have some footage of a duck and the footage from the Plattsburgh Zombie walk. Time to hammer out an episode!

I am getting pretty excited about this. It's nice to have a creative project to work on.

I have been getting WAY to into the whole work, eat, half-assed workout, sleep cycle. There seems to be a pressing need to go out and do something different for a bit.

Awesome Gemm!

I am having my new years at home alone! Which is ok, because I chose that over being outside! It has been raining constantly here (and in most of Queensland, I don't know about the rest of the country but who cares, I'm not there) for the last like two weeks and I am going mad because I can't go skating in the rain and I usually skate 4 times a week and I feel laaazy.

But new years is the point not skating (skating is actually every point I ever make). The boy went camping with his friends and I was invited (and heavily encouraged by him) to come but seeing as I just spent 4 days sleeping in a shed with my insulting family the last thing i wanted to do was spend my new years in the freezing cold with rain and mud and his one friend i hate and his crap friend's girlfriend I have met once and his other friend who is awesome but you know, I would just be whiney and everyone would be annoyed by me.

So anyway, I chose watching Back to the Future and Shaun Micalleff's Rave Party and drinking a bottle of wine (can you tell) and making a delicious thai chicken curry and being on the internet! <3 <3 happy new year when it eventually gets here (I will probably be asleep because what is the point of staying up until the new year happens? I have never understood it. IT WILL BE THE NEW YEAR WHEN I WAKE UP ANYWAY DICKS!)

ITP Jodie rants drunkenly about new years but loves the internets <3
