the eeeee-vile within
ah the dreaded swimming pool in my lurvely townhome complex is becoming an issue for me...why? well I think the group of owners as a whole do not use it enough to justify the cost frankly, and I voted to get rid of it meaning fill it in and use the money for fixing fences and such...BUT unfortunately there are people who have these townhomes who rent them out and are the biggest whiners ever known to mankind and unfortunately one them is an icky lawyer who has threatened to sue us should we remove the pool. because he would lose his renter if the pool were to go. hrmmmm . our entire complex is being held hostage by a renter who has no stake in the property but the fact that this man feels he would lose money he's objecting. uhm.. sir? it was either raise HOA fees which meant raising your rent I'm sure to cover that cost or lose the pool. Now since this renter is becoming the key element, I have to ask would the renter leave anyway because you had to raise the rent? I hate laywer bullies, or any bully for that matter, but I see no reason if we all voted to lose the pool and this man didn't have enough people on his side why he has to be a poor loser and why we should put up with an unneccessary lawsuit. (which by the way we should countersue for him being a big pain in the patooty) Patooty...that's a legal term isn't it? arrrggghhh so for the time being we have to put up with people who trespass to use the pool and dump their crap in our dumpsters. the 2 mattresses and the desk back there have been lovely additions to the cement hill i must say.
I'm thinking I will do a civic duty and create a plone forum for my little neighborhood as we don't meet as often as we should. and I know there has got to be an easier way.
In other news, me being the chicken of depression rather than bluebird of happiness has managed to tell it like it is and bring down a friend of mine, but frankly I don't think I was telling her anything she didn't already realize. but I frankly don't see how getting out of debt can be considered a fun filled day in the park. I know it hasn't been easy for me, but i've learned to live without credit cards and the mantra of if you don't have the money, then you can't buy it. It was painful for the first year but it also got me thinking about creative ways to save and make money though. I hope she sees that that was what I was trying to tell her. but for now I think she just sees having to change in a not so fun way.
I'm learning a little more about RSS feed subscriptions to which are kinda cool. I really am liking this job at the library, they understand what it is to be service oriented. and what it takes too. yea me.
as for other aspects of certain individuals who shall remain nameless because they've decided I don't exist...well I guess I don't really have much to say other than I'm tired of it and really just trying to get out of the mood of self deprecation. I imagine this is how you felt as a kid though and wouldn't really wish that on anyone..including me. but I'll be ready to listen... can't say it's helping me forgive you easily though, but for my sake I'm going to have to at some point.
(as Jeri is trying to reduce the amount of paparazzi in her life I'm showing a pic of her less popular and less attractive sister here) and I did get to stay a full 8 hours in my hotel room at the Manchester Hyatt which is a gorgeous hotel and I wasn't paying for it. HOWEVER... my reason for being there was pure ickyness of trying to convince people I new all about a subject that in actuality I knew nothing about. Let me point out that I'm a HORRIBLE liar. It's just impossible for me to lie. I can't do it. No wonder I seem to be attracted to lying men. I'm envious of the ability to be able to pretend and convince people. no not really. I think it's a despicable trait. Anyhoo. needless to say, I bombed big time. but I was totally thrown to the wolves in that everything I was told was not what happened...("oh they'll prolly only be 6 people there in a small room") uh yeah. there wwere about 150 people in a room that could fit 1750. I was at a freakin podium for crying out loud. I'm pretty emotionally scared from this not that I wasn't already. I have security issues and the biggest mistake you can make with me is to threaten or take that away from me or put me in a situation where it's threatening. so I will NEVER be doing THAT again. ew. However, Here's some pics from my gorgeous room.
