i've been sitting, waiting, wishing

so a quick follow-up to the plubming situation. before it was just a matter of things not going down the drain in the tub. now, the tub is beginning regurgitate things. it all appears to be stuff that should not be in a tub either. i really hope that some point there will be some action taken to fix this.

in the youtube news, people are still challenging my verbal disagreement with what cajcameron had to say about katy perry. here is the thing though. not one of them is about katy perry. they are all criticizing me for saying canada is not real country, and how i called him a wangster which i totally have the right to do, be is obviously is. i think they are completely the point of what the post is about. i cannot help that some douchebag decide to go on the internet and start calling people lesbians, and saying it was garbage. what is amazing is that i also called him a homophobe and not one person has even mentioned that. adding to all this is the fact that all of these lame asses are coming to my post to do it. i did not even post this as a response on his page. that means people are watching his piece, then finding my piece, and then posting in my part of youtube. i am currently composing a rebuttal.

que no creas mas a mis promesas

ok there is something weird going on with the plumbing at our house. first of all, whenever we use the tub, the water sprays all over the place in the basement. it really does not bother anything since the pipe it is spraying from is not near aynthing. the basement is also not carpeted, so that is a non-issue as well. i think that they were supposed to have a plumber come to fix it at some point. i am fairly certain that has not happenned yet, or if it has, the plumber did a terrible job of it.

the other strange thing is related to that, only in the opposite way. for some odd reason, the bathtub does not drain properly. this issue is completely out of the blue, and i am not sure what could be causing it at all. also, how is it possible that the pipe is both leaking and clogged at the same time? that is like having dirrhea along with being constipated. is that even possible?

some things i cannot change, but 'til i try i'll never know

there is a group of people who subcrontracted to best buy. i am not entirely sure what their job, and from i can tell, they are not sure either. unless, their job is to come in to the store and completely fuck things up. i think they might be doing it wrong. much like many of the best buy third-party "helpers" (i am looking at you secret shoppers), they completely lack common sense. on top of that, none of them have any training to do whatever it is they are supposed to be doing. they carry around paperwork they seemingly cannot understand or read. if they are given a map, they have no concept of how it is supposed to work. they have to be "supervised" to prevent them from boning the situation which, given a minute to themselves, they are likely to screw up anyway. add to that fact, none of them can use any of the computers or systems in place to do their job. i swear to god one of them asked me if print screen still worked. what the fuck lady? when was the last time you used a computer, the early nineties? are you going to be looking for our dot matrix printer next?

so here is the end result of having these third parties "helping" our store. since they are incapable of working independantly, they are paying them to have a best buy employee do their job for them. this is to supposed prevent best buy employees from doing these tasks. clearly, that plan has failed miserably. if it is like anything like any other job, the third party persons probably make more than our standard employees. which is weird considering that they cannot do the job, because they are braindead. thanks best buy, i am sure all the money you are wasting on these d-bags and their daily mistakes could not have been used for something useful. like one employee who knows what the fuck they are doing.

i don't mind if you don't mind

ok, so i have decided that i am wasting entirely too much money on certain things that i use every day. or on things that i never use at all. as a result i pretty much end up living from paycheck to paycheck and that really needs to stop. some of the most expensive things will not be cut out entirely. i will be cutting back to the less expensive, and therefore less desirable versions. for example, bottled water, instead of buying the water i typically get, i will just have to settle for the plain water. which is disgusting by comparison, but i really do not think i continue this especially if i plan to ever get a vehicle. i have not purchased any new video games since april. i have decided that the only way to get them at used prices. even i try not to spend more than fifteen dollars on one. the awesome thing about where i live now is that it includes my utilities. now if only we could get the cat to stop turning the toilet paper into confetti we would be set. i do not go out at all since i have been here. it is way too expensive for my tastes. so my social expenses are nil with the exception my cell phone. i clearly cannot that out because i need it, and i also have a contract. there is not a whole lot that i can back, but i know i have to make cut backs where i can. of course, if/when i can get weekend job, all of my expenses may be a little bit easier to manage. i am not that point yet. a lot has to be cut by the end of september. at which point i will have to have a car for work when i transfer stores. which will free up one thing that i do not have a lot of at my current job, and that thing is time.

i spend about four hours of my day traveling to and from work. that leaves me four hours to myself. factor in the time i am actually at work, and i essentially spend twelve hours for work, and i am only paid for eight of them. i do not even live outside of the city. my commute is rediculous. oddly enough, a car would more than halve my time of travel. there certainly is not much that can be done in four hours a day. considering at some point i also have squeeze in two meals and what little excercise i can manage to do from home. eventually i would like to finish taking classes, but that is rediculous at this point. even if i took online courses i would only be able to manage one or two at a time, and that would be just another waste of money. oh, and my brother wants a ds for his birthday because his was stolen. i am pretty sure that is not going to happen. well i am not going to make it happen. not unless i get run down by a nintendo truck.

ok kathy... you look like a kathy

ok, after posting a vLog yesterday, some dillweed decided it was in his best interest to come over to my neck of the web and flame me about. how sad is it that someone i have never met or interacted with before, feels he needs to talk to me, and everything he has to say is negative. the poster found my post because it was about cahcameron and his distaste for all things different. the guy who is flaming me is apparently riding caj's dick, and cannot stand when people disagree with him. unfortunately, he is not a formidable adversary since his vocabulary is limited to "hahahahaha" and "homo". i am not exactly sure what to do except respond to his comments without sinking to his elementary level. if i had my guess, i would say this guy is somewhere between the aged of four and fourteen, and that his mom has probably walked in him more than once rubbing one out. he is one of those angsty white kids, who listen to whatever music pisses their parents off the most in a vain attempt to get them to pay more attention to them. then again, that is just the vibe he gives off.
