Hey Creepy - why do you suck so bad?

OK, that's really uncalled for people...I mean, just because I haven't posted a blog update doesn't mean I don't still DO them...I've got a BUNCH of blog entries that didn't get posted - and now they probably won't because the information in them is so old. So, here's what's new:

Faire is over, *sigh*, I'll have a posting just about faire - I had a blast and hope to be with my same group again.  There was an after tear-down party at the home of a guild member and I had a great time.  It was a laid back sort-of shin-dig, BBQ with great food and drink and it wasn't THAT far away from my Sis' place, where we were staying.

I should be closing escrow on a house this week...I hope! I'm just waiting for my loan to fund at this point.  I've got MY ducks in a row and am ready to move in, over the next month.

In the same vein....

My landlord's all of a sudden become a much bigger idiot than he was before; before he was just clueless and unwilling to do major maintenance on his house.  NOW, he's demanding I do all sorts of things and threatening me in emails (not bodily harm but "Charges will be made" come on, tell me that's NOT a threat.)  He wants me to shampoo the carpet - yeah, I don't think so, he didn't shampoo it when he moved out; the carpet wasn't cleaned, walls weren't painted and it wasn't even fully cleaned...I only have to return it to the same state as when I moved in.  I can see his point about the lawn, it was "dead" when I moved in, but I let him know his sprinklers weren't working in  Nov/Dec and that I wouldn't water the lawn until they were fixed.  He came out a few weeks back and said that even though some sprinkler heads were broken (they were fine in Nov) that the only reason that I'd use that much water is if the timer was set wrong.  You've GOT to be fucking kidding me.  If I had a broken sprinkler head and a gyser in the middle of my lawn, I would use more water than if all the sprinklers were fine.  ANYWAY...I figure, he's got $1K of mine that was a non-refundable deposit, it was to be used as part of my down payment if I bought the place, but since I didn't, it's his security/cleaning deposit and as such he should use it.  It technically should've been separate, because if I bought the house he'd have to have put it in the escrow account; so if he's spent it, that's not my problem.

The whole thing's got my panties in a knot.

So, I'm packing and shuffling and once again will end up moving stuff before I garage sale it simply because I want to be able to move slowly over time instead of all at once.  Once I get my crud unpacked THEN the garage sale will really begin! Huzzah to the sellers!  Plus I'm more likely to have people come to a garage sale in CalCity than in N. Edwards.

It's CreepyMom's birthday today, she's a year older...woo hoo!  I was told she's going to Disneyland today (who'd have guessed), so I'll probably be down tomorrow to visit her, give her, her goodies and then be on my merry way.  Can you believe she's in her...dun, dun, dun....50's? WOW...I should live to get to that age! *fingers crossed*

What else is new?

CreepyKid's almost out of school, AGAIN...she's only doing it like three more times and then she'll be graduated! Amazing. 
NewGuy started his new job today (YEAH!)  Better benefits, more pay and closer to home...how could you argue with a trifecta like that!

And work for me, well, it's been OK, not great...but OK...it pays my bills, but I'm thinking it's time to move on; *sigh* I'm feeling under-appreciated not to mention I'm getting negative criticism, but nothing constructive.  THings like "well, Creepy, people find you condescending and belittling."  "Want to tell me WHO said that?  Or a particular circumstance?  How 'bout any kind of advice?"  Yeah, nope, can't help me with any of that.  Those are valid questions, "who said it?" Because there are people who don't like me in a personal way; "circumstance" because it may have been an easy question that the person then FELT stupid about asking, but I don't make people feel stupid...I would never say "Hey, idiot, did you press the big green box that says 'press here?'"  And I know I've certainly felt stupid when I did something but the person on the giving end never meant it in that way.

Ah well....can't please everyone...and I currently can't leave because my boss has no one to replace me with....must suck to be him.  I think he's trying to fast-track a replacement for me and shuffle me along; but since I've gotten no formal complaints, never had a formal meeting regarding negative behavior nor complaints from my customer about the job I'm doing then I can't be let go; so that's not a worry...I just need to realize I'll be changing fields AGAIN and SOON.

I think that's really all there is, all the words fit to print about this.
