Fall My ASS......

Dear Supreme Being that controls the weather, I a very annoyed that tomorrow is the official start of fall and I am still having to deal with temps over 100 degrees. I find it ridiculous that I can still wear shorts and a t-shirt in late September. Can you at least give me capri and a light jacket weather? I would like to open the windows of my home and let the somewhat fresh Arizona air into my house. Plus, why are you making me give APS more of my hard earned money by making me keep the AC running? If I have to hear the weather people on the morning news say that we are above normal one more time, I will lose it. Since the economy is in the tank and my house (which I responsibly still make my mortgage payments on) is worth dick, which means I can't move out of this hell hole, can't you give me some decent, maybe even below normal temps. I want the morning news people to talk about how cold its going to be. Please, Please I am begging you....help me out a little. I really don't ask for much. Sincerely, Snickity

$Finances$

I have to laugh when I hear most people talk about money. It seems that now a days no one has priorities. When did foreclosure become the norm? Or why do people believe they have no other route to go, but short sale their home, but then go to football games? I get that the money is yours and you feel you can do whatever you want with it, but it doesn't seem that you have learned from your previous financial mistakes. If you have can't afford your home anymore, than the money I assume you are not paying the bank should go into savings (or paying off debt, which I am sure you have). I understand people like to "escape" from reality every once in a while, but it doesn't seems appropriate to go to Vegas where you are paying for a room, booze, gambling....etc. I guess I am bitter because I am annoyed that my husband and I are stuck underneath a mortgage that we can't get out from (at least until something either happens with the economy or housing market). Unfortunately my husband and I are extremely honest and responsible when it comes to commitments we have made. We would love to walk away and spend, spend, spend the money we are bringing in, but we actually are paying our mortgage. I wish more people would do the same, then maybe the housing market wouldn't be nearly as bad. Please people, be a little more responsible and maybe our economy wouldn't be in such shambles.

Co-Worker

Has anyone ever worked with someone they hate so much they just want to strangle them every time you have to see or hear them? Well I do! My hatred toward this person has progressed over the years. I am nit sure why I let him get to me, but I just can't stand him. He has to stick his nose where it doesn't belong, can't' seem to do anything himself and never offers anything productive. He usually ends up making things worse or sticking his foot in his mouth in the end. He feels that he is more important than you because he is a "program manager", but in fact his position is probably less important than yours. Without me you wouldn't get paid....what do you say to that! Not that someone else couldn't do payroll, but you not what I mean. Not only is the person annoying, but he is absolutely disgusting! I don't even want to step foot in his cube and if I have to I make sure that I sanitize myself. How can one person so absolutely useless and disgusting still have a job? He offers no value to the company, in fact he is using good salary dollars which could be used on someone worth something. I am just waiting for the day I can just tell him what I think. I know he would brush it off and say that "I am crazy" or something like that, but ohh well. I t might actually make him think, but I doubt it.

Stop bragging about your Staycation!

I am of the belief that vacation time (given by your employer) is meant to be used as such....for a vacation!!! I don't see the point in using vacation time to stay at home and watch TV. I have been forced to listen to a co-worker "brag" to people about his staycation. I want to just go over there and scream "No one is impressed by you taking your kids to a d-backs game!!!". If you plan on taking a staycation this year because money is tight or what not, fine, just don't talk about it like you went to Europe and stayed at the Ritz Carlton (not sure if that hotel even exists in Europe, but you get my drift). Happy VACATIONING everyone! :)

Stupid City of Surprise!

So, we got a notice from the HOA stating that we needed to trim our tree otherwise we would get fined. Well I finally made Foo call the management company to find out what tree they were talking about and what their "tree trimming rules" were. Well when he called no one answered, so he left a message. Foo received a call from the management company later tonight. We come to find out that it wasn't the HOA asking us to trim our tree, but the city of surprise "cracking" down on the trees along the street. The lady told Foo that they are asking for the tree to be trimmed to 8ft on the sidewalk side and 13 ft on the street side. Why the hell would I trim my tree lopsided. Plus I don't know anyone in the neighborhood that is 8ft tall, so why does it need to be trimmed that high on the sidewalk side. I was so pissed!!! I thought the HOA was getting on our case about our tree (which is perfectly fine), when it was really the city! Why couldn't the city send out a notice asking us to trim our trees to their specifications, not get the HOAs involved?! Luckily it sounded like the management company was more concerned with the sidewalk side than the street side, so Foo will be trimming our tree a little this weekend. We don't want to violate those 8ft tall people walking on our sidewalks! I think the city of surprise has more important things they need to worry about instead of peoples trees, like replacing the funds they "borrowed" to build their ridiculous city hall!!!

You aren't as important as you think you are......

I find it funny when people think they are more important than they really are. They walk around every day with this "air" about them, like my "shit don't stink" type of attitude. Why is that? Depending on the situation, I think people are allowed some "attitude" about them. But to have it all the time is ridiculous. You aren't that important! Get over yourself! You know you are arrogant when you have your admin make your hair appts for you!

Another Facebook Annoyance

If you don't want me to see your posts, unfriend me. Don't block me from seeing your posts, while you still have access to mine. To be a jerk, I might just do the same thing to you.
