if you were dead or still alive

So after being called by the temp agency thing last week and in the same phone call being told oh wait they'd filled it all after all...got called Monday morning that they needed someone after all. (How many times can I say after all...?) Except I'd sent James off to work with the car. So I had to say no. Then they call again yesterday morning--near 9am--that oh yeah, they needed someone for that same job again. So I did go, for some folding glossy cardstock/adding insert job at the far-ass east end of town past the airport. Then they only needed me for about 3 hours, project got done and they sent us all home.

So I probably spent more in gas than I made, but oh well. Don't want to say no to the agency too much, and shows I'm trying to get out there and do something. And getting home early meant I could still drop by and do an app at this one data entry place as planned, as well as stop by Game Stop for WoW WotLK reservations (Nov 13 release date, w00t w00t).

Windows happen today, sounds like they'll be here soon. Wonder how it'll go, should be weird. Cats will be shut in the basement back room, and all the curtains are down (thanks to Mom), and furniture's moved out of the way.

Got as little for unemployment as I suspected, and their way of penalizing is to make it not go into effect until Nov. 1. Ahwell, it's what I deserve, frankly.

Killin me to not be able to get music stuff. Want Apocalyptica (esp the new CD) so very badly. Other stuff still on my list: Five Finger Death Punch, Eluveitie's new one, MIA's Paper Airplanes, and a few off the new Metallica CD (The Day That Never Comes, Unforgiven III).

Nom, I say. I do so like Adam Gontier's voice. (And it would make for a good Tendershipping fic, yes. Because I'm a loser and a dork.)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

Windows/patio door are in, and to be honest they look really good. But they weren't able to use the original frame around the living room ones (now a single bay). So there I've got bare trim I somehow have to have varnished (allegies bad to varnish/stain/paint, can't do myself at all). Also, the new trim there isn't as wide as the old--and it reveals a flaw in the drywall below, where once upon a time someone cut it very unevenly. So there's these weird at time finger-width gaps underneath it. The window people filled it in with painter's caulk, but it still looks ugly.

Also, net has been fucked all day. Losing signal over and over. Kept resetting the cable modem, but it keeps happening. Contacted Cox, and they won't be able to have someone out til Friday afternoon. Best thing is...it's their fault! :D :D :D The person who installed, didn't change outlets/cable that were originally Qwest/Telechoice. Except the old cabling doesn't handle digital signal right. The cable modem could handle the bad signal for awhile, I guess, but it can't anymore. Hence, we go offline/online constantly. Such fucking hate for all internet providers. BALLS BALLS FUCK ASS BALLS, all of them.

ALso also. While I was cleaning my glasses, they fucking snapped in half, right in the middle of the nosepiece. Titanium frames, my fucking ass. They were just a year and a half old. Can't read close without them, am not supposed to drive without them. Will get massive eyestrain when I don't use them. Guess I need to beg the optometrist to fit me in tomorrow...though, I need my prescription changed. So do I pay for old lenses into new frames, then new lenses next I guess? (Since I can't go without glasses for the 2 weeks needed to redo lenses.) Don't want the same frames if that's what's going to happen, if they're that crap. But doubt the old lenses would fit into any other frames. Fuck, fucking fucking fuckety fuck goddamnit. This is not the time to spend money on fucking glasses anyway. FUCK.

Oh, I see I've gone offline since I started this (mood pic won't show up, user pic won't change...). Guess I'll let it sit until SOMETHING in this fucking house starts working again.
