Cloudy with a chance of angst

[judecorp]

I need to go back to work, if only to get some sort of structure to my life. I'm starting to turn into Sean, and forget which day of the week it is. If it wasn't for whirledpeas, I wouldn't have remembered that yesterday was Secret Date Night. Which means I wouldn't have eaten chips at Don Pablo's until I was going to explode.

I need to apply for a job so I can, in good conscience, check that 'yes' on the unemployment card. I keep calling the place that is supposedly hiring me and having a hell of a time reaching them. I keep leaving messages for the administrative assistant and I'm starting to feel like a stalker. Today I left a message for the assistant director who interviewed me, and asked him what I should do. I have all their papers filled out, and all their materials gathered up, and now I need to hand it in so they can make me an offer and I will feel better. I'm getting antsy.

I'm disgruntled with the fact that the landlord has /still/ made no effort to come out here and even verify that there is no vent for the dryer. Jen desperately needed clean clothes so last night and this morning, I ran the dryer anyway. Now the apartment is hot and humid and the whole laundry closet is damp. Gross. I looked around the building today and verified that there's really nowhere to even /have/ a vent - there are no vents outside the house at all. I'm wondering if no one has a vent. How odd and infuriating. I wish I'd been smart enough to doublecheck that there was a vent before I dropped all that money on the washer and dryer.

Last night, I met the boy that lives on the first floor on the other side. He is young, and totally a dumbass. He is 19 or 20 and had two 18 year old friends with him, and they were drinking wine coolers. I offered them some of the leftover beer from the party, the stuff I won't drink, and they were drooling all over themselves. They were telling me things like this (I felt so old):

fuckin' drinkin' dood it's so cool to like drink and then you like sleep all day cause you were up all night drinkin' and I wish I was unemployed dood cause like i can't wait to go on spring break fuckin' cancun dood all those people who don't drink are so gay would you like buy for us sometime

Yeah. So anyway, I went upstairs and just shook my head. They were so odd, but I'm apparently their new (gay) best friend because I gave them the Champagne of Beers.

You gave them my beer!!?!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was hoping to make them stop talking to me. It worked. That's worth 10 cases of beer, you would believe me if you heard them for even a minute.

I will buy you more beer if you want it back.

[laughingsal.livejournal.com]

Haha. Don't worry about it. It's totally shitty beer.

When are we doing lunch/dinner/icecream? I totally need an excuse not to eat *all of the perishable food from our fridge* while the power is still out at our house.

p.s. If we do lunch/dinner/icecream... can I bring the twins, Mommy?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We could go... ummm... tonight? Tomorrow? (for ice cream) I'll have to check with The Girl when she comes for lunch. I'm going to meet Jen (and maybe Patti, haven't heard from her yet) at Gibby's in Grandview tomorrow for lunch, I think, if you want to come.

Otherwise, I can meet YOU for lunch - maybe Friday?

And of course you can bring the twins, Mommy!

Re:

[carina-s.livejournal.com]

Tonight would rock. That way I can bring the twins!

Grandview is a little too far for me to travel tomorrow since I have a court date set with the twins dad re: criminal non-support.

Oh they sound charming.


People who don't drink. . . *laughs*.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

They're just young. I remember saying to them, "I think I'm a little too old for Spring Break." And they said, "Fuckin' no way dood no matter how old i get i'll never not go on fuckin' vacation dood!" And I said, "Vacation and Spring Break are very different, boys. My days of doing shots out of someone's belly button are over." They were flabbergasted.

Liar *grin*

all those people who don't drink are so gay

So that's what my problem is!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Problem solved! :)

[00solstice.livejournal.com]

and they were drinking wine coolers [...] "all those people who don't drink are so gay"

You should have reminded him that wine coolers have been considered "gay" since, say, 1991. Having been over 21 for quite some time, and having been a lesbian for perhaps even longer, you could come across as quite authoritative on the subject... regardless of the veracity of such a comment. ;-)

*giggle*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Every time one of those boys would say, "so gay" I would say, "Me, too!" And I still don't think they got it. They sure were funny. I don't think they heard anything I said after I said I would buy for them if they gave me $5. And then I had to push them away with beer.

GO AWAY, BOYS!

And here I thought it was all that soy milk. (;

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I almost bought some soy milk at the store today, but then I figured I was gay enough.

DOOD.

You should drill a 6 inch wide hole in the floor of your laundry closet and have them drill a hole in their ceiling at the same spot. Tell them it must be in that location because you cannot have the authorities find out you have created a SUPER SEKRIT portal through which you can pass them excess bottles of cheap beer.

Then, forget the beer. Whenever you need do your laundry, connect your dryer's exhaust hose to the hole.

dood.

[laughingsal.livejournal.com]

I am so getting that apartment with the portal to outer space.

Ha!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Too bad they don't live under me. A girl lives under me - this boy lives on the other side of the building.

But that's a swell idea! Freaking vent!

[paper-lanterns.livejournal.com]

Hey, sorry to hear about the job search. There are a few companies out in Whitehall that I saw have help wanted signs.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Social work companies? ;)

Wait, how did you meet my classmates?

[poopsmoothie.livejournal.com]

Her rendering of their speech is both the most hilarious and the most accurate I have ever yet encountered. She could write a modern-day Catcher in the Rye, or something.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, these d00ds weren't much older than you, but you are SO MUCH COOLER.

"spring break fuckin' cancun"

And the worst thing about it is, they obviously have rich parents who send them to Cancun for spring break. There is no justice in the world.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they were asking me where I'd gone for my spring breaks, and I'm sure they thought I was "so gay" for saying, "Well, I didn't really go to any big vacation places, I usually went and visited friends."
