Apartment Living
Things I Won't Miss About This Apartment Labels: housing issues
1) The galley kitchen. While I suppose I could be positive and see it as conveinent that I don't have to move more than two steps in any direction while cooking/cleaning, it will be nice to have a kitchen that allows more than one person in it at a time.
2) The sticky lock on the front door. It shouldn't take 5minutes of cursing under my breath to get the key out. I'm just saying.
3) The flight of stairs leading up to our "ground floor" apt. I know we're technically on the ground floor, but it would have been nice if you had mentioned the building was the only one built on top of the hill.
4) The laundry room. There's always at least one dryer where the heat is not working. Unfortunately, it's never the *same* dryer two days in a row.
5) The herd of elephants that live above us. Seriously, I know some noise is to be expected. I even understand that you have a toddler, and there will be some running back and forth.
What I don't get is the running back and forth, and the loud crashes, after midnight. Is your kid seriously up that late? Or is that just part of your kinky sex games? Either way, please keep it down! My child is convinced there are monsters on her ceiling.
6)The window-unit AC. Oh, how I wish I had realized how good the central AC was to us. Both in the $$ department, and in the actually cooling the place off department.

The High Court ruled against her. And for my dear friends who would like to think that it's solely b/c she's a Christian, Last year, the Law Lords rejected Shabina Begum’s appeal for permission to wear a Muslim gown at her school in Luton.
And the school stated, ...allowances were made for Muslim and Sikh pupils only for items integral to their religious beliefs and that, for the same reason, crucifixes were also allowed. But it argued that the purity ring was not an integral part of the Christian faith.
Emphasis mine.

Blahs
A Severe Case Labels: random
I'm suffering from a severe case of I-don't-care.
I don't care....
...that you feel that I'm not focusing on your training. I'm not. You work two nights out of the week, and missed half of that over the last two weeks. And you informed tonight, that yet again you won't be there tomorrow. So...I'm going to focus on getting the person who shows up consistently the training she needs. So that the hard work I put into fixing the hellish issues plagued by this shift, isn't completely wasted when I leave. Thank you.
...that we're broke. Again. I should. Because it sucks. But I'm tired, physically, and I have no energy left to pull yet another extra shift. Sorry. You figure it out this time, I'm done.
...that some random internet stranger thinks I'm a, to quote, "negative bitch"
Thanks for the newsflash. Yeah, sometimes I am. Maybe more often on-line lately, perhaps because spewing that all over the people around me IRL would be less than helpful?
There's a little X in the corner of your screen, if that bothers you.
...that you expected me to be the same person I was when you knew me at 16yrs old. Get over it. People change, and frankly, if you *haven't* grown and changed over the last 6-7yrs, well, I feel a tiny bit of pity for you. But only a little, b/c I'm done wasting energy on someone else's issues.
Meh. I'm going to bed.
