So it turns out the landlord just wanted to know if we planned on renewing our lease once it's up...
in 9 months...
How the fuck am I supposed to know what is happening in 9 months?
I could get a job that pays me $80K a year, and if that was the case...I'd leave this shithole.
I could win the Powerball.

yeah, that's more than a little strange. Maybe she's feeling insecure because of the whole strangeness with the foreclosure?
Tonight was the king of fucking stupid nights at work.
I got in at 2:50 and immediately my boss tells me there is a guy waiting to have someone help him with his luggage. So I take the cart out to this dude in the parking lot, load it up, and take him and his wife upstairs. Two minutes later he comes down complaining about...

As frustrating as that day sounds, I'm afraid the credit card dude was right - bad form to have the full number on a receipt these days, and very bad form for the site taking the cc not to be https. I'm speaking as one who's had his credit card number stolen; I'd be the same way. Sorry man.
Hope the foreclosure does settle properly. Fucking bankers are wankers.

email is as secure as a postcard - actually less. There are copies of email on the server that sends it, the server that receives it (not just the user's account, I'm talking in the server's cache) and places in-between (it is trivial to intercept a transmission and get a copy). That's why you'll usually see 'your credit card ending in xxxx' or whatever.
Is it a privately designed system? I'd complain to your vendor - tell them that it's 2012 and that's 1998 behavior. Seriously.
But, I meant it, I can see how it'd make a bad day worse.

Sold what I had left for snakes in the past few days (the ones for sale, not the whole collection) and now I am torn between stashing the cash for the reptile expo in November...or paying most of a credit card off.
Do I do what I want, or the responsible thing?
Grrr...

Card man I know it sucks
I guess kharma decided last night to put me through all that shit so that something good could happen.
Apparently as long as I get the rent to my landlord tomorrow and she has proof of it, we are ok on the house being foreclosed front.
AND her lawyer is going to sue the mortgage company for all the games they were playing (ignoring his...

Badass man, a little good news is definitely better than none.
The guy in 216 tried using the fireplace and the room filled up with smoke (flue not open maybe?)
Anyway...he put the fire out with the extinguisher...which filled the room up COMPLETELY with smoke. The smoke got out of the room and set off the fire alarm...
I fucking hate this place. I really do.
So I turned off the alarm (only on for a...

Shitty 
I had 3 things to do today.
Sell a snake. Hang out with my best friend and buy frozen rats.
The snake sell fell through...again...
This dude has one more week before I sell it to someone else. It's been 3 weeks.
Tim is sick, so that didn't happen.
Got my rats though. 60 frozen medium rats should last me a while.

so if the rat is hot, the snake doesn't know it's dead, or rather doesn't care that it's dead?
wolfwood1203:
I guess better frozen than live. My friend tried to feed a live one to his snake but it was too active until he thwacked it in the head and stunned it for the snake. After that he got it just fine.
Interview went well, and I have my best friend working there to back me up and talk to his bosses.
Hopefully I will get a position.
Even if it starts at $11/hour temp, once you are hired it's $13-14/hour. That would be life saving.
Put out the good vibes for me.
No word on the apartment. Apparently the mortgage company is not returning her lawyers...

Sounds like my grandmother may end up selling her house after all, and with her house sold, I have no real reason not to try to leave CT in search of greener pastures. Perhaps I should start looking for jobs elsewhere.
My friend's job is hiring but I have to be careful. They are temp-to-hire..so if you are not good they will get rid of...

Shit, good luck man. Hopefully things work out.
I saw my breath when I left work today.
Love it!
I wish this poison Ivy would clear up. It's driving me nuts. Next time I work on that tree I cut down...I am wearing pants.
Well...it is getting too cold for shorts anyway.
I think tomorrow I will scrounge up $28 and buy my rifle/shotgun hunting license. Squirrel season is open for another 5...

Yes!!! That would be perfect!!
Only 9 people asked. Surprising. I was expecting at least 15.

I am going to attempt to keep track of how many times I get asked when Christine and I are going to get married tonight, but I may lose track and I plan on getting drunk...so we shall see if I remember.
I did come up with the perfect response that will make the asker feel guilty.

I like it! Hope you have fun.
My little brother is getting married tomorrow.
I am happy for him, but it means I have to deal with most of my family asking when Christine and I are going to get married...and I am so fucking tired of that question.
We'll get married when we fucking get married.
I hate the economy...

IMO the longer you wait before you decide to get married, the more sure you are if you do, and the better the basis for the relationship.

Ugh - don;t want you to think I don;t read the longer posts, but I don;t have my glasses, so I can't really see this!
