Apartment repairs update: last week I submitted a work order saying that it'd been a few weeks and I hadn't been sure if the leak was fixed and they were waiting on the carpenter, but it had started leaking again. Got a call telling me the holdup was a part they had to order in and they'd be in my apartment on this past Monday to fix it.
That happened, and on Tuesday I got an email inviting me to take a survey about my "completed" work order. On Wednesday, it was leaking again. I replied to the email (since it was sent from a management office address) to say it was, and was told that the work wasn't completed and plumbers were already planned to be in my place again today. Good to know...

Ah, I've been away for a bit -work and health didn't give me time for posting 'cept for some snark on imgur.
Guys and Gouls, I learned a bit of depressing news: a girl I knew (my first girlcrush in fact) died in a freak accident a long time ago.
Way back in The '90s, I met this Manic Pixie Dream Girl -emphasis on the manic part. She actually called me from a mental hospital once. We were friends then a kiss and then - we broke it off. She started to clean up her act, got a Burger Fool job - heard she hit the meth then she got clean. Married a guy and had a kid even.
Well turns out she lived on a street corner where big rigs love to speed by, one did and crushed her car. Kid and hubby lived.
She wasn't the most stable and she had a temper, but she didn't deserve that. 23 years young when she died.
Tell your family and friends (and Amicable Exes) that you love them. Some people are denied the chance to grow old.

At my age there are those who got the cancer, those who lost to their demons and those didn't make it.
Thanks for the + n r g guys. It was just that life can pass you by sometimes.
I got a new job, working in an office even. It's just as things come together somethings things come to get her(me!).
On the plus side I'm almost caught up on Game Of Thrones.

Yeah, I can't say "SHUT YER COCKHOLSTER!"
I MUST say "I value your opinion, but I think we should move in another direction".
I can never say "Yo, fuckers, what's crakerlackin?"
I HAVE to say "Can someone inform me of today's agenda?"

I tried to walk like an Egyptian and now I need to see a Cairo practor....Taira: Lol. My last job was working for the city in the Public Library System. I found creative swears that weren't swear words but were quite obviously meant to be. My favorit when something usually broke suddenly was "Sugar and a Biscuit", translation. Ahh son of a bitch.
Who watches the watchmen?Pity my granddad: he went from the RAF to being a teacher and then crisis headmaster. The only time he could unbutton his tongue and let the cussing go free? Football matches.
And, by all accounts, he was a creative terrace heckler.
Didn't matter if he was supporting Sunderland, Gateshead or Newcastle: whichever one was closest and Home, he was there, religiously.

I believe my romantic life was doomed by the Norns when they wove their web. It makes sense, there's many signs pointing to it. Which means there is naught I can do. Not even the Allfather himself can escape the Norns' decrees.
But like the Norse gods, I ain't going out without a fight. I may be fated to lose, but I'll be damned if I won't give fate a hell of a fight.

So you had a failed relationship. I've had three and I don't even remember who one of them was. Other people have had like twenty breakups, probably. It's not the end of the fucking world. So a girl doesn't like you anymore. So what? It happens! Pick yourself up and get back out there to find someone who does.
Anyway, I just watched Moana and it really got me going on reconnecting with my heritage. I ordered a bunch of Tagalog books, because classes are currently unavailable but I have a lot of free time. And today, I'm going SAILING!
