Dear UPS…

The Grand Canyon

Enough of this “Brown board” commercials, the guy who talks and draws and talks and draws and talks and talks and talks is by far the most annoying guy on TV and in the age of Glenn Beck, that is saying something.

And the worst part is he reminds me of a “Frasier” episode where they had a guy who looks exactly like this babbling artist play a nitwit in a wheelchair who only would talk about barbeque.

So please UPS… take “Bob” off the air already, I am wearing out my mute button.

My last “Fuck you Sprint” post.

The Grand Canyon

Ok, we are done with sprint forever.

We have been staying at the same hotel in Canada for over 4 years and this past trip we only stayed there 1 night and total we only used about 1-2 hours max (both of us combined) on the sprint wireless cards but somehow our bill is $200+ more than normal. In the past we stayed at the same hotel for 3-4 nights and used at least 12 hours and never once was our bill this high. In fact I had forgot to log off a few times as we went out so Im positive we used much more then 12 hours and still the bill was never $200.

So we contact sprint and get the runaround. They do not track minutes used on wireless cards at all, just KB used and when we asked for the total KB used we still got “we don’t track that” so after 30-45 minutes of running in circles and me telling them to “prove we did this” at least 10 times, we said fuck it…

Our contract had already expired last week and as soon as Toni is ready we are going to go get our iPhones.

The best answer they could come up with is “its on our bill so its what we owe” or in other words “trust me.” Yeah… “trust me”… What a scam this is, I wish I could add $200 to all my clients bills and just tell them to “trust me and pay it”.

Anyway, go fuck yourself sprint.

What a stupid movie…

Geeze I want my 3 hours back.

Finally Settling Down

Well, it has been a crazy as hell emotionally the last few days.

As you have seen in my last few posts and on my twitter posts, one of our babies got out Saturday night.  It ended happily when Sakura was found about 24hrs later.  We are so happy and relieved that she is home.  Our biggest fear was all the roads around us that are very busy.  If we lived in the country, we would’ve worried but not have been driven to the level of anxiety that we felt.

Sakura was very timid for couple of hours once home.  But is getting back to normal.  I haven’t seen her play with her mice yet, but I’ll work on her tomorrow for that.

Before Sakura took off, we were having a pretty good day Saturday.  Hubby attacked the garage, got things reorganized and made more room and I attacked our storage closet.  We found a bunch of stuff to donate and made even more room.  We worked on cleaning the house and laundry.  And even had time to start chilling out and enjoying the day and then Sakura happened.

After we got her back, I finally was able to focus my brain and attack some work.  Made a very good dent in it, still had a pile waiting for me today.  But much more manageable.

I did about 15miles of walking looking for our nutty cat and putting up fliers this weekend.  I normally get about 4 miles in on non gym days.  Where we live we have a ton of hills and they can be steep…so it wasn’t an easy 15miles.

Even so today, we still went to the gym, to get back to normal, I did really good on the treadmill.  My old trainer’s voice in my head saying that you need to push it more when you have no motivation or it is harder then normal…..but boy did it hurt.

Then once we got home and showered, we headed out again.  We had to take down the fliers that we posted and pick them up from the businesses that I dropped off at.  Nothing I can do for the ones that I left in doors, mailboxes and gave out, but we made an effect to clean up.  So now I’m really paying for it.  My legs, thighs, and butt hurts from all the hills…..ouch.  I’m still going to push it tomorrrow, just need to remember to take some ibuprofen.  =)

Once we got all the fliers taken care of, it was time for work.  I had a bunch, ton of email, support tickets, company books….etc.  I finally got that done and was able to take care of our books and bills.  =)

I even been able to catch up with my friend’s feeds on my facebooks.  =)

I know that I have more work tomorrow, but it is more manageable.  And it is suppose to be another stunning day, so we are going to work on getting rid of some yardwaste in the back, change litters, and take care of the trash.  I do hope that I can take my laptop outside to work for a little while.  I really want to enjoy the sunshine.

Time for me get to bed.  Still playing catch up on sleep since this weekend.

Humans: Some are good, some just suck.

Good: Last night I received a call from a girl who was looking for Sakura, she told me she and her boyfriend were bored and it was so nice out they thought why not go look for a black cat in the pitch black? They was aware of the reward, but never once asked “how much”.

I answered her questions on what Sakura looked like in more detail and thanked them. Around 10:30 pm she called back and said they may have found her but didn’t want to get too close where it would scare the cat off. They was 3 blocks away so I ran over there and verified it wasn’t Sakura. So we talked for a few minutes and I gave more insight of Sakura and this girl was actully sad for us. So I thanked them and left and thought to myself, that if anyone is going to get a reward from Sakura, I was hoping it would be her.

Suck: While standing from the upstairs balcony for Sakura I saw a kid run up the street and into a house across the street, I than walked to the back room to look for Sakura and found a big dog in our yard which I recognized as from across the street so I put 2 + 2 and got “lost dog” so We took the dog back home and when we got the owner and explained to him what and where we got “oh… yeah ok”

This dog was very freindly and of course had no tags, I have been majorly stressing Sakura and I had the thought of “Karma” when we was taking the dog back, and to find someone who didnt give a rats ass when I am on the verge of tears just pissed me off.

But back to Karma… Sakura did come home about an hour right after I took that dog home…
