i totally knew that was going to happen.

i requested today off of work 2 weeks ago. i wrote on the request form "please call me if you cannot give me this day off so i can make other arrangements." the reason i asked for them to call me is because i only work there once a week, and because they don't have a set day that they put out the official schedule. sometimes it's ready on tuesday, sometimes saturday (which is shitty). anyway, the point is that i got no call. i thought about calling last night, but i was like... no. i told them to call me and they didn't, so it's all on them. another part of the reason why i didn't call last night was because i also requested last sunday off. that time, i called on the saturday before and asked if i had to work the next day and my manager (the one that does the schedule) was like "you requested that day off didn't you?" and i was like "yeah..." and he was like "then you don't work tomorrow." so duh, i requested today off and by the way he spoke to me the last time, i assumed that i would automatically have the day off since i requested it. i wouldn't have assumed if he didn't put it that way. just goes to show you can't trust anyone to do anything right.

now i think i am probably going to be fired, which is fine i guess since i've been wanting to quit that stupid job since i started it almost 6 years ago. the only thing that would suck is that i would lose my paid time off money, which is about $600. that's free rent money...

even shittier, is that he scheduled me for 8am even though we had just discussed the fact that i'm always late (8 is just a tad too early since i'm coming straight from my other job), so he said that he would start scheduling me at 8:15. WTF.

if i'm not fired, i'm quitting. i can't deal with that bullshit anymore. the discount isn't worth it.

today i saw a lady pushing a shopping cart in a left hand turning lane, and a guy casually riding his bike into oncoming traffic.

that is all.

Ok, so if my computer's internet was working fine and then suddenly stopped and it said the LAN was disconnected (and it cant find any wireless networks anywhere, even though we have it) when I didn't even do anything, what do I do to fix it? The only thing I have plugged in is the charger, so i dont know how the LAN got disconnected when I never had to connect it in the first place. I don't even know what LAN is! I am stupid about computers that way. All of my roommates still have internet, so the wireless is working fine. Smart people, help me!

update: so i found out from steve that my computer went into power save mode and turned off the internet connection... and for some reason, it refused to recognize the wireless switch (which was still on). it was all solved by restarting the computer. hooray!

My left shoulder hurts really bad. I barely use my left arm, so I don't know what the fuck I did to hurt it so bad.

I met a little girl today (probably about 3 years old) who told me she named her "tea cup" poodle Barack Obama. Her mom was like "She watches a lot of tv..."

i am poor and i really need a computer. i really want a macbook (the $1500 one), but i cant afford it.

should i:
a. buy a $400 toshiba, and use that until i can afford the macbook (which will pretty much never happen)?
b. put the macbook on my credit card and create even more debt that i cant pay off (with the ridiculous interest rate and finance charges i've been getting)? basically i flush like $200 down the drain every month, and i'm only making like 800 a month with the shitty hours i've been getting at work... plus 550 for rent, like 100 for utilities... and i have to eat... you see how the math is working out? i tried to apply for the apple credit card thing, but i was denied. denied!
c. any other ideas?

i love cake wrecks. i was seriously laughing for like 20 minutes after stumbling upon this picture:

( All the tenants I interview aren't good enough )

life in my house:

-our water has been shut off. you never realize how important water is until you don't have it.
-one of my roommates has scabies.
-two of my roommates (dating/married couple) are moving out. unfortunately, they probably won't be paying for the damage they have left behind. they aren't getting their deposit back, but i'm not sure if that will cover the damage. the entire living room carpet has to be replaced because their dog ripped it up (we caught her in action), and their bedroom carpet has to be replaced because the guy is an idiot and burned the carpet with his iron. so yeah, either we replace the carpet or we lose everyones deposits. the good news is that we won't have to deal with their dog destroying any more of our stuff (probably about $200 worth) and we don't have to deal with the idiot/lazy ass guy and the messes he leaves everywhere. the bad news is we need another roommate, asap.

soooo... anyone in the south bay (los angeles) area need a room? or know anyone who does? rent is pretty cheap. we need someone who is relatively clean (you can be a slob in your own room, but you have to pick up after yourself and do chores around the house... thats basically how i roll), respectful, ideally over 21 (because the couple that left was younger and not very mature/responsible at all), and probably most importantly, should love dogs because we have quite a few (as many as 7 on any given day, but usually 2-4). ideally, the person(s) should not own a dog because we have enough, but if there is one, it should not be destructive or mean (to people or other dogs). if you know anyone that fits this description, let me know!

good reason not to wear pants that are way too big for you: you slowly start to grow into them.

oh well, i guess it's time to start using that gym membership!

seriously, no one wants a weekly dose of random doggy goodness?

I haven't been around a computer in a while, so i have a lovely little update for y'all. On Tuesday, I got bit by a dog at work again. This time on my FACE. I have a lovely flap of skin that is hanging off of my nose (it's trying to heal, but not doing a superb job... it was bleeding again today) and two little scratches on my forehead that are pretty much gone now. No need to dress up, Halloween came early for me this year!

The good news is that it barely hurt at all... I was just like "Holy shit, did I just get bit in the face? Is my nose still attached?" i still don't know why the dog bit me... i was just petting her under her chin. She gave me no warning growl or anything, just SNAP!

Unfortunately at the time of the bite, we were having "interviews"... which basically means that new clients come and look down on us playing with the dogs... so they saw it happen! Apparently, they were like "Oh no! That girl just got hurt! Is she going to be ok?" as blood was gushing out of my face. Pretty awesome. It was kind of a clerks moment, because i wasn't even supposed to be there that day. At least i got to go home early with pay.

in other news, i made a twitter where i post cute/funny pictures of dogs at work. so if you have a twitter, add me: dachshundparty. i dont know how much interest there is in random dog pictures, but i could also connect to loudtwitter or something and have it posted here, if enough people want it.

i bought a 32 inch plasma tv on tuesday, and a 16 gig iphone on wednesday. what should i buy today?

i got bit by a dog at work today. a beagle (named snoop dog) was trying to get at this dog bone that i had in my hand (which belonged to another dog) and he missed and grabbed my middle finger instead... asshole. i had two chunks of skin flapping around and blood started gushing out, so i went to clean it out with hydrogen peroxide. as i started to put on the band-aid, i got super light headed so i needed to sit down. then i was like, shit... it's barfy time! so i ran to the toilet and expressed my self. it was kind of weird and i don't know why that happened. i'm thinking my adrenaline rush dropped too fast or something and fucked me up, because the sight of blood doesn't freak me out or anything.

whatev!

i had a customer today named harry johnson. no joke. it took everything in me not to laugh my ass off when he announced rather loudly that that was his name. added bonus: he was telling another customer that he should get his dog neutered, and then he was like "all of my animals are fixed. hell, even my wife and i are fixed!"

i thought it was funny.

my dad is thinking about switching his political party from republican to democrat. sweet.
