Check out the rest of the site too. If you've ever had a shitty roommate you will sympathize.

Just let it all out

It's that time again, the time when I get to tell you about my pet peeves for this week... whether you want to hear it or not!! Check out Mama-Loco, it's her baby that she let's us play with too! Let's begin!

~I am so sick of people asking me if I found a job yet as the first thing out of their mouths when they see me. I know I'm unemployed and my life is boring, HOWEVER, the first thing that I want to think about is most certainly NOT that I STILL don't have a job. Thanks.
~Commercials for lawyers who will "get you the money you deserve!" They are so obnoxious and are the reason that my car insurance keeps going up. If you keep suing them for way more money than you deserve you fuck everyone over in the end.
~My roommates! A pet peeve list wouldn't be complete without them. Last night I told them I was sick and heading to bed (it WAS almost 11pm anyway) and asked if they could turn down the music. While that was met with some static, they agreed. I went and laid down but the music didn't go down at all. After a while I got back up and asked again. Here's where Douchebag really pissed me off, he told me he would turn it down but they were planning on getting a little rowdy tonight. I told him that it's a Monday night, I'm sick and if they wake me up I'll be pissed. He told me, "that's fucked up girl". Well, that's how it's gonna be. For the next half hour or so I heard a lot of banging around (in an involuntary way) and door slamming and I think one of the ass holes fell down the stairs. My door was already locked when they banged on my door thank god. I was about 2 minutes from calling the cops on them. Why can't I get some normal people to live here??
~People who don't tip well. I went to see my friend who's a bartender last night and as I was sitting at the bar a guy came in and had 2 beers and left. The "tip" he left was 36 cents. I think that's so tacky. I know that bartending isn't rocket science, but she did pour you a beer and bring it to you so that you didn't have to do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. It's your choice to come into the bar, unfortunatly she doesn't have a choice to serve you or not.

There you have it! I was a bit long winded this week... I think becuase I haven't blogged since last time I had to let it all out. I'll be back with more tales from unemployment soon! hahaha!

Hello to you too!

What can I say? I'm a bandwagon jumper oner... but I have good reason this time. Amy started doing the Pet Peeves post and just was I was reading Mama Loco's blog my roommate started to BLARE his music so I thought that it was fate telling me to do this post.

Here are a few (I have to save some for next week) in no particular order:
~When my roommate listens to his music so loud that I can hold a dance party 2 levels downstairs.
~People who come to almost a complete stop to look at someone who is on the side of the road with a flat tire. I mean really people, if it was you would you want everyone gawking at you?
~The guys at the gym that not only have their phone with them on the treadmill but also ANSWER it when it rings! There isn't any public place I want to hear your conversation, but that sentiment doubles... nay TRIPLES when it is at the gym.
~People who don't know the difference between it's and its, there and their, threw and through, and hear and here.
~Did I mention my roommate...??

That's all for today or else I'm afraid everyone will go into shock that after 2 weeks of no posts I did 2 in one day. That might be too much for any sane person to handle! ;-)

NOT the same shit!!!

So these past few days have been GOOD to me!!

Thursday night I went to the Nuggets game and ended up winning the King Soopers gift card by playing Price Is Right AGAIN! That's right, another $100 of free groceries! The game went into overtime and we won in a very exciting finale. It was the first game I've ever seen go into overtime in person, so I was pretty amped. The game was televised so it didn't even start until 8:30pm. Needless to say, by the time I got home I was exhausted!

Friday while at work, I got a call to interview for a new job!! It's a phone interview first and then, if they like me, I'll go on for a face to face interview. It would be more pay and that would be a very very good thing.

Finally, and this is the MOST exciting part, yesterday I found out my roommates are moving out!!! The one across the hall in the master bedroom, is moving out at the end of the month and I'm moving into his room!! I'll have a room twice the size I have now, my own bathroom, a walk in closet and my own little balcolny! I'm rediculously excited! The other roommate, who I currently share a nasty bathroom with, is leaving as soon as he can find someone to take over his lease. If he can't find someone, he'll be leaving the 15th of June (beware the ides of June.....!! lol). I can't wait to not share a bathroom with him. It's pretty bad when you have to put a post-it note up on the door frame that says "Please Flush" so that he remembers to do so... what is he like 5 years old??? Anyway... I won't have to deal with that anymore!

The best part is, my rent is going up $25 since I'll have the master bedroom, but if I get this new job, $25 isn't nearly what I would be paying if I moved out and found a place by myself. This way, I'll be able to SAVE some money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. I'll be able to save for a while and when my lease is up, then I'll be able to move out on my own with a cushion :).

I hope I get this new job, for real real, not for play play.

On another note, my dad ran the Arizona Rock and Roll Marathon today!! He finished in 4:12: 18. Good job Dad!!! He wanted to finish in under 4 hours, but HELLO!! he ran a whole marathon, I think that's awesome enough!

Well I'm off to do some errands and then to the chuch to help set up some lights. After that football and chillin!

That's from last week... not bad eh?

HELLO!... LO...Lo...Lo...lo...lo........

Yes!! I am here!! I know it's been a while since I blogged but with the holidays and new years... give a girl a break! Let's break it down and get dirty!

Work update:
My direct boss quit, like 3 months ago. However, they threw some money (i assume) at him and he agreed to stay through the holidays until an indefinite time. Yesterday he came in and said that it was his last day... well, in his defense, the holidays ARE over... They named Sir Cranky as the new Production manager leaving Giggles to fend for herself in the Rental department... wow. I'm sure firing me is next in line. I hope to make it to my one year mark there which will occur in just less than 3 week's time. For those of you who know me, I'm a bit of a job jumper. I've had more jobs than I can remember but you know, I'm always trying to do better!! (Look where that's put me now...)

Friends:
Well, I still have some so that's a start. McMean and I have been been keeping up on things as uaual and I got to talk to one of my dear dear ship friends, Wendy last night for over an hour... that made my day. I went over to Steph's last night to hang out since my SHITTY ROOMMATES had ANOTHER kegger. Thanks for letting me know at 10am boys... way to plan ahead. What ass holes. I've been here 6 months, 3 more to go. If I could break my lease you can bet your sweet ass I would be outta here so fast it would make their druggy brains spin... what's left of them. I walked in this morning at 10:30ish and there was apparently a drunk people obstacle course set up. Couch pillows, shoes, clothing, cups, bags, plates, a table(?!?!) stewn around the room such that it would be fun to watch drunk people try to get to a seat. Not so fun when I come in the front door sober. Oh and a note to the 4 people passed out in the living room... I am SO not sorry I woke your drunk asses up as I came in... Who's house?? Kitty's house!

wow... that section wasn't really all about friends was it...? Oh well!

New Year's:
So I know that this is the one you guys want to hear about... Well went down to Susan and Keith's to pregame. It was a lot of fun and Jasmine was there so it was nice to see her again too. Another one of Susan's friends came with her boyfriend who, swear to god, looks just like Montel Williams. After drinking pretty much everything in their house we jumped on the light rail and headed down town. Ben and I went to meet up with Sarah and her brother at Scruffy Murphy's and rang in the new year there. Might I say, I am fully convinced now that Dick Clark will never die... why you may ask. Not becuase he hasn't died yet, and not becuase it looks like he hasn't aged since the stone age, NO... did anyone else notice that Dick Clark TOTALLY looked like a vampire on TV this year??? Fangs and all! I even tried to photograph the tv and it didn't come out!! Total Vampire move there Dick Clark...
After that we went over to regroup with Susan et all. After waiting in the potty line for about 20 minutes (which included watching Susan almost get into a fight with some hos who were also in line) we continued to drink our fair share of alchohol. Last call comes and we decide to hit up Lure for a last minute drink since Ben knows all the bartenders there. This is where the night gets a liiiiiitttttle fuzzy. That last drink knocked us both on our asses. I remember peeing in the small tree grove on SPEER(!!!) and that's the last thing I remember. At some point we got a cab got home and went to bed. Odd thing though... obviously I took my dress off... but in the morning it was still zippered, the bow around it was still tied, and it was right side out... how did I get it off?? No clue. Ahhh, the mysteries of the world.

Rose Bowl:
Don't even get me fucking started.

I hope everyone had a great new year's, I know I did. I didn't fall, puke, or die. All in all... that's a good score by me.

Until next time everyone... here's a video of a deaf retarded cat...




Yes, she really is deaf and really is retarded... she belongs to my parents and her name is Tink. My dad named her, don't you judge me!

My first Cheers and Jeers!!! (here)

I think it's finally time for some CHEERS AND JEERS!!!
For those of you new to Taylor's world of blogging allow me to bring you up to speed... every week or so I make a list of recent cheers and jeers, often crowning a cheers of the week and jeers of the week, followed with runners up.

Now... on with the show!

WINNERS!
Cheers of the week goes to.... BEN! Without Ben there is no way my party would have come together the way it did. From decorating to running to WalMart to just helping with... everything!! I appreciate it SO much!!

Jeers of the week goes to... THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WERE COMING AND DIDN'T COME!! I was really disappointed in the people who backed out at the last second including the one I talked to just a few hours before the party started and said they were coming... lame

RUNNERS UP!
Cheers to all who came to the party. I had a great time and it seemed like everyone else did too!
Cheers to my food... it was pretty rockin'
Jeers to my roommates for being complete ass wipes in general
Cheers to rainy weather that made me feel not guilty about coming home from work and crawling right into bed.
Jeers to the lady who set her dog on fire after tieing him up... there is no excuse or explaination for that type of cruelty.
Jeers to the BoSox for losing it last night.
Cheers and Jeers to whoever brought Krispy Kremes to work this morning. It tasted great, but made me feel mucho guilty.
Cheers to seeing my family in just a little over a month.
Jeers to being too poor to see them more often.

Well, that's this week's version. Look for me next week, same bat time, same bat place!

mmmmwha!

Just because I hate my roommates doesn't mean we can't be friends....

RIGHT???

My roommates, as I said in a previous post, threw a kegger on Friday night. Here is what the house still looks like as of 8pm Sunday night...

KITCHEN

KITCHEN PT. 2

BASEMENT

CLOSE UP OF THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS AROUND THE LEGS!!!

OTHER SIDE OF THE BASEMENT

Be glad you can't smell it. I just don't understand how they can just let it sit like this all weekend!! I might be able to understand if they had to work all weekend maybe. It's just ridiculous! I asked D to turn down his music/movie/video game (whatever it was) last night around 7 because I was watching a movie in my room and the bass from his room was so loud and it was driving me nuts!! He was like, "come on, it's only 7:00." I told him that I was watching a movie and the bass from his room was really annoying. He might have turned it down, but it didn't seem like it.

If my place still looks like this he's not getting utilities from me this month. I'm having a party on Saturday and if I have to clean up after them just to have my part, you can bet there's going to be hell to pay. Fuck them.

You know what that sound is??

It's your future... and it's empty....

That's how I feel today, well, I guess it's leftover from yesterday. While I sit in my bedroom listening to my roommates play Halo as loud as possible, I am reminded that my life, as it stands now, is completely and utterly pathetic. Not only am I not going anywhere (figuratively speaking) I'm not respected by anyone. Not anyone. Not my boss, not my coworkers, not my friends or family. I am a receptionist. I spent thousands of dollars and 5 years of my life to earn 2 degrees for what? To answer phones and sell people lamps and gel in a warehouse office. Lame lame lame lame lame. The only enviable part of my life is that I get free tickets to major sporting events through work. Yeah, but is it worth it? Is my life so awful that I have to supplement it by going to as many free events as possible?? Yup, sure is.

I'm so frustrated lately with the people around me. Here's a list of things I wish, based off of my recent bad experiences with the human race:
I wish:
~people would take responsibility for their mistakes
~those same people would take moves to correct the mistakes
~managers would talk to their employees about issues, not to other people. This isn't fucking high school
~people would clean up after themselves, ask when they want to use other people's things, and put them back where they got them.
~that people would RESPECT other people's point of view not belittle or corner them because of it.
~people were seen for the ass kissing liars they are.

If you are reading this, you probably don't have anything to do with any of these. Most of this refers to work or roommates.

My roommates threw a kegger last night and trust me when I say I didn't want to have anything to do with that. I stayed at Steph's and we drank some wine, watched a movie and just chilled out. I was in heaven in a quite house with a comfy bed to sleep in, knowing I wasn't going to have to deal with roommates or loud music or any of the other bull shit that comes with going home. Thanks Steph!! You're a lifesaver.

I DID get to go to the Av's home opener on Thursday night. It was awesome!! Even though they lost it was still a great game. We really thought it was going to go into overtime but alas it did not and we went home losers. I bought an awesome jersey that was on sale and I wore it all night! Maybe I'll have the chance to get some players to sign it this season or something.

I went to JoAnn Fabrics today to try and find some shit to make my Halloween costume. I guess I don't know what I want to be yet. I pretty much just wondered around for an hour and a half. I bought a few patterns I liked (they were on sale for .99!) so I have some options. I did buy some yarn to knit a new scarf. I like knitting, it'll keep my busy when the weather is shitty, like it is this weekend.

Being broke sucks.
Hating your job sucks.
Feeling stuck sucks.
My roommates suck.


PS- I'm having a Halloween party next Saturday night so if you are around, come on over!

Groceries and Toilet paper rolls

Ahhh... Groceries. There are few things in life that are as sweet as looking in your cabinets and having OPTIONS!!! Before today my choices looked something like: should I eat rice, instant potatoes, mac and cheese, top roman, or... a can of gravy. Now, thanks to my monthly cash bonus, I have groceries! For the next week I'll have my pick of different types of hot pockes, lean cuisines, stew (which is in the crockpot right now!), or any other many exciting things that now grace my kitchen. The only thing I don't like about grocery shopping is "the stalker". You know who it is, it might even be you. There you are, minding your own business in the cereal isle, and somone stops right next to you like they want the exact same cearel you do. You exchange side glances, maybe even the "what's up" head nod and one of you moves on. Before you know it, that same person is right next to you while your deciding what type of pasta sauce you want. Now it's just weird. By the time you get to the frozen section this guy is my arch rival. There's no way I'm moving my cart so he can get into the glass door next to me. Now it's a race to the register, who can get out first?? Luckily I am a checkout PRO! The ladies at the register love me. I put all my fresh stuff together, meat together, frozen together, boxes and cans together. This allows me to win every time. What is up with that guy???

On a random note, last weekend I went camping. I left on Thursday and came back Sunday evening. It was lovely and wonderful and fun, but when I came home the toilet paper holder in my bathroom was gone. I looked all over thinking that my roommate dropped it and was to lazy to pick it up (trust me, not a stretch). Maybe he trew it away with the last empty roll... nope, not in the trash... hmmmm..... So I don't see my roommate often, so today I finally see him and I ask him, dude, where's the toilet paper holder?? His response: Oh, It's in my car. YOUR CAR?? WTF?? I didn't even want to ask why it was in his car.

I hate my roommates...just in case I didn't mention it here before....
