Oh man. My day started out bad. I got to work at 8:23am and there was someone waiting outside the door. Well tough shit, I have to turn on the lights and make sure everything is working. Around 8:28 I hear the server closet door open and this bitch comes up the stairs. I'm like what the fuck?! Well apparently she is a "coworker" I tell her it's only 8:28 and I was about to open the doors. I also tell her it's not cool to come in that way. You're not working, you have no right to come in that way. She's like, I work here 22 hours during the school year. Doesn't make a difference. Then she goes on to say that she was standing outside the door for 10 minutes waiting. How is that my problem? The site doesn't open until 8:30am. You got there early and couldn't wait 10 more seconds. Geez. The sad thing is that I just realized I have to work with this bitch on Fridays for the rest of the semester, since she's taking her boyfriend's hours. Not looking forward to that. Also, I will speak to the acting manager about this later today. She also brought in someone else with her, someone she didn't know. Still fucking pissed about that.

I don't know if anyone remembers me posting about the girl who wants to move into my apartment early and was talking to me about it. Well her roommate e-mailed me Monday saying I had to call the rental agency and let them know when I was moving out and to schedule a walk through the week before. I'm thinking "why do I have to do all this shit for you to move in early?" I e-mailed her back saying I was moving out on the 22nd of August and that's that. So yesterday I called the rental agency and they said don't worry about, it's not your problem. They only do walkthroughs if the people are moving out in the middle of the summer and want to use their deposits to pay for part of rent. Apparently the girls called up the place and were asking for the name and contact info for whoever was living in my apt. Rightly so the agency refused to give it out. Somehow they got ahold of my roommate and she being the nicest person, gave them my e-mail address. WTF people?! I told the first girl that I was moving out when the lease ends, no earlier, and to talk to the rental place about moving in early.

In a self-mock, I locked myself on the loading dock yesterday at work. I had to take these boxes down to the garbage can after I got off work and I had no idea the door would lock behind me. There's no way to get down. They have a fence all around the edge and the garbage bin is in the only non-fenced part. I suppose I could have balanced on the edge of the garbage can and jumped down but I probably would have fallen in instead.

Gacked from cleolinda here are a few personality quizzes. Here's the main link for the quizzes that help explain stuff. The whole point is that men like systemize and women like to empathize. And apparently I am a man according to this. That or I'm autistic. Maybe I should retake the Empathy quiz when I'm not PMSing and have no empathy/patience for anyone. Enjoy!!


Reading the Mind in the Eyes
Your score: 27
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30,
you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions
around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult

SystemizingQuotient.aspx
Your score: 36
0 - 19 = low
20 - 39 = average (most women score about 24 and most men score about 30)
40 - 50 = above average (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score in this range)
51 - 80 is very high (three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score in this range)
80 is maximum


Empathy Quotient Test
Your score: 26
0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
53 - 63 is above average
64 - 80 is very high

So I cooked an actual meal today!! All by myself and from scratch. Well I didn't make my own chicken broth or corn starch or pasta, but you get the idea. I had lots of left overs cause I got the recipe from my mom and she makes it for like 4 or more. I was a little iffy about thickening the sauce, but it came out well. Next time I make it, it will have less chicken and less pasta.

I just used this site called www.allofmp3.com Best download site ever. Their selection overlaps iTunes but you can't beat their prices. Best thing is that it's legal. It's run out of Russia so they have different copyright rules. I paid using Paypal and I spent $10 that goes into my account. That translates to 1 GB of download. You heard, me one GB. I downloaded something like 200 MB of songs tonight and that cost me under $2. They also have a large selection of formats and none of them are right protected.

There are a few kinks with their system. It's hard to download a whole album, since you have to download each sone individually. If you select a funky format, it might not be available immediately since they actually encode online. Their speed isn't as fast as iTunes, but it still didn't take that long. I highly recommend it. I used Paypal 'cause I didn't quite trust them enough to give them my credit card. If you use a credit card, the minimum is $5 while it's $10 if you use Paypal. Oh well. Lots of music for me to buy in the future.

Oo oo. Another awesome thing about them. You can preview whole songs and albums. It's at a low quality, 24 bitrate, but you can still hear the whole song before you buy it. So cool!!!

So I don't know if anyone out there hasn't read the Troy in fifteen minutes, but it's hilarious. It's basically making fun of stuff going on in the movie. I love it. The author of that was written other ones as well and she decided to write one for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Read it!!

http://www.livejournal.com/community/m15m/2237.html


She also decided to make a bunch of icons as well with quotes from her speech. It's the lovely cleolina who made this. I don't know where she found the screenshots from, but good on her.

So I saw Harry Potter 3 this weekend. Liked it quite a bit. If you hadn't read the book, you might be a bit confused though.

Question about those of you who exercise: Any tips on how to keep good form during crunches? I was working on my abs last night and I think I accidentally used some neck muscles. It's weird, 'cause it's the front neck muscles that hurt. I think I might have been keeping my chin too close to my chest. The video recommends that you imagine an apple/orange between your chin and chest. I may actually have to resort to that.

So I finally got my pants on Friday. Of course, they're a bit tighter than I like or usually wear pants. They're low waist, which I'm not used to wearing. I guess they just hit me in a different area. I only really notice the stomach tightness when I sit down. The one pair of capris is really tight when I sit, but it's got that weird clasp thing instead of a button, so it closes a bit further in. Hence all the work on the abs. Tips would be good please.

So I missed the Fed ex person again today. I'm still trying to get my damn pants that I ordered on the 14th of May. Even though I asked them not to deliver on Saturday, they tried anyway and it doesn't look like they came on Friday at all. According to Fed Ex an attempt was made at 10:55pm. Fed Ex only delivers until 8pm.

The thing about today was that I was here when the fed ex person came. The buzzer is once again not working so I left a note to call my cell. Apparently the person didn't have a phone. Joy. He also wrote on the note that I would have to call to pick it up. I can't fucking pick it up!!

Oh and to apparently deliver to my work, Old Navy would have to authorize it. I love it when CSRs don't tell me important information like this from the get go.

I basically put in a request to have another delivery after 2:30pm on Friday at my apt, but we'll see how that goes. Supposedly I'll get a call tomorrow about it. This whole thing is beginning to piss me off. All the notes are appearing in Fed Ex's system but they aren't being carried out.

Oh and I still have yet to receive a call from the post office about the original package. It's going to be two weeks tomorrow since I first contacted them and I've spoken to three different people. I'm gonna call the number again tomorrow and see what's going on.

I'm determined to get answers. I feel like I almost have to bust heads to get stuff done. I'm probably gonna have to call Old Navy about the Fed Ex thing, otherwise the package will be sent back to them. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!

So apparently the people who are living in my apartment want to move in early. For some reason, this is becoming my problem and I have no idea why. According to her, in order for them to move in early, I would have to move out a week early. Umm...no. Then they were asking how clean I keep the apartment and all that shit. Yes I'm gonna clean before I move out, but I'm not gonna sterilize shit. Once again, I don't know why this is my problem. They can talk to Post and see what needs to be done, but maybe they'll just have to realize that they won't be able to move in as early as they want. I'm just gonna do my thing and move out on August 22nd and leave the keys with Post. I won't be handing over keys to anyone else, no matter what they claim. I'm just gonna make sure my ass is covered. It's not like there's giant holes in the wall or anything but the tub has a weird thing going on. It has water trapped underneath the floor, so when you step on it, it sways kinda like on a water bed. I don't know if Post even knows about it or if they plan on fixing it for next year. Also the second bedroom doesn't have two desks in it. That's not my problem but post would need to come in and make sure all the furniture is there that's supposed to be there.

Ug...I keep telling the person to talk to Post. If Post says that in order for them to move in early, I need to move out early, then that's it. I'm not gonna move out early. The lease goes to August 22nd and I'm staying until then. It's just tough shit for those people. Their lease starts when it starts. If she e-mails me again, I'm just gonna be more unhelpful than I have been. I have no control over that shit so stop talking to me.

My coworker just told me to tell her to fuck-off and talk to realty. That I shouldn't even reply to her e-mails. I guess I was raised to be polite even to people who shouldn't be talking to me. I do have an annoyance level and that girl has reached it with this second e-mail. What the fuck does she want me to do?!

I thought it was funny.

oo oo, check out the icon I used in this post. I made it!! I'm so proud of myself ^__^ It's funny that I use such an expensive program like Photoshop, just to make icons.

I'm at work, I'm watching the newest Queer as Folk episode that took forever to download, and guess who decides to come in? One of the highest people who work for my department. I forgot that they were installing new projectors today. The suckiest thing is that I'm halfway/almost done with the ep and I have no way to transport it anywhere. =(

She woke to add wood to the fire, and then slept again. The bitter taste to his reply told Vanyel that this was something Joshe himself had encountered, and it hadn't gone down well. I will come.

So I forgot to update my lj with news about the cute guys I saw Troy with.

I saw Troy last Sunday. First thing: don't go see it!!! It sucks butt and is about 2 hours too long. The cute guys in the movie don't make up for the bad accents and scenery.

One of the guys I saw Troy with is one the nicest/cutest guys I've met. He used to work for Sites but he got a full time job on the Geeksquad for Best Buy. It comes with quite a few perks, including a free car, gas and cell phone. He also gets paid quite well. Before all you ladies start jumping him, I'm sad to say that he's taken. He recently proposed to his girlfriend, which I find is the cutest thing. I can hear all the sighs of disappointment from my apartment echoing across the land at this news.

So my weekend was bad and good at the same time. Prinsage IMed me last night and said that she wasn't going to come to Ann Arbor this weekend. I've been depressed this week with my pants possibly being stolen and feeling fat, that I over-reacted. I felt a little let down since she decided the night before, but whatever. Safety is all important.

So I called home today to talk to my mom and let her know how I was feeling. She calls back like 20 min later and says she and dad are coming to town so be ready around 5. Sure enough they show up and we went to dinner at this Greek restaurant and then we went off to see Shrek 2. Which is hilarious by the way. Puss in Boots is the best ensemble character ever. Many laughs were had. Parents actually sorta got-along, which was nice. So even though my original plans fell through, I still had a satisfying day. Not as much fun as I think I would have had so I'm still feeling like crying. Especially since I apologized for what I said to Prinsage but I kinda feel like I got the brush off. I have the worst luck with over-reacting at the same time and alienating my friends. Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't even try and socialize with people. *Sigh* Hopefully next weekend goes better. My mom expressed interest in going to see The Day After Tomorrow, so that might be included in my birthday celebration

P.S. It actually didn't rain here today, even though it looked it would. It was weird after what happened yesterday.

So the post office called me and said that it's not possible that the package was shipped on the 18th and I supposedly got it on the 20th. I don't see how that's impossible, especially if it was shipped from somewhere close by. I assume Old Navy has warehouses all over where they ship stuff. The lady on the phone said she would talk to my carrier and get back to me. We'll see how it goes.

So last Friday I ordered two pairs of capris from Old Navy. They were supposedly delivered today, but I have no capris. I called the Post Office and let them know that I haven't gotten the package. I don't know what's gonna happen. Either the post office didn't really deliver my package or someone in my building stole it. I have no idea where to go from here. I guess I have to wait for the post office to call me back and then we'll see.
I'm guessing I'll be talking to Old Navy and maybe even my realty company. The problem I'll run into is that it will be hard to prove I didn't get my capris. If anybody has any tips, I'd really appreciate it.
