Must. Control. Fist. of Death.

So the corporate toilet otherwise known as MCI just informed me that they took another $156 from my bank account. Why, I ask you, why? Service has been gone for more than three months — they already rocked me for my final balance two months ago and took it out again last month. Fuckers! I need to change my bank account number. Thanks for raping the pitifully poor civilian, you corporate hairballs!!!

Couldn’t even enjoy my long-awaited bath after I got that fucking e-mail from them. Assholes!!!



Hot date

May 2nd, 2003, 6:16 PM by Goddess

I’ve got a hot date tonight … with the bathroom.

No, I’m not full of shit (although that point can probably be argued!), but I am cleaning it top to bottom. Rugs are already in the washer, and I’ve nuked the room with scrubbing bubbles. Now to get a gas mask (I wish!) and rubber gloves (more manageable) and I’m all set!

When I was scrubbing my car the other day, I realized how therapeutic it is for me to clean. (With the exception of my room, but at least that has a door I can close to hide that mess.) Something about not wanting to hover above one’s own toilet is a comforting concept. 🙂

At any rate, once I deplete and replenish the hot water supply, I am parking my ass in the tub for a hot bath. That alone makes this two-hour process worth it!

Another pathetic evening without a *real* date. 😉

Better today

May 2nd, 2003, 12:35 PM by Goddess

Okay, the glasses are fixed, but now I think I’ve forgotten my vehicle registration card somewhere in Fairfax County. I swear, I lose everything!

But I heard really good news today about one of my friends, so if it means she’s the one with my overdue good luck, I am completely fine with that.

Today’s priceless comment: I walked into the optometrist’s office and said, “Can you help me? I’ve got a screw loose!”

I’m taking two classes in D.C. tomorrrow — one on how to make a living without a job (by freelancing and/or setting up my own business), and another on how to establish oneself as an expert in whatever the field. Not much else going on, but that’s OK — I look forward to having a couple of days without high drama!!!



Domino effect

We all know how rotten the last two days have been for me, but don’t think I’m on the upswing yet … my eyeglasses just collapsed into four pieces. Heh. Figures!
