Venting anger

[digtastik]

I am so fucking stressed out right now. January can't end soon enough. I'm hoping that February will result in some much needed deep relaxing breaths.

Lips a sore and swelling... Good times. Plan to pass out when I get the chance.

Sorry to hear man. Here's to February!

Thanks. We'll survive.

Day by day, brother.

I feel kind of the same way. Like I have something I'm holding on to that I just don't know how to let go of, and I'm not even sure of what "it" is. Weird and vague but w/e, at least I tried to articulate it. That's always a decent place to start.

Ha ha I wish. I'm consumed.

Fucking losing it because of money. Just paid my mortgage Monday ($1200), had to pay for tree service too ($600) and just broke a tooth and got hit with a $800 bill yesterday. Have enough groceries for about 2 weeks and get paid soon, but then it's bill time. My monthly bills are about $1300. So thats $3900 out this month, when i only pull about $4000 in (on a good month). Thank fucking Christ for what's left of my savings and credit cards, eh?

I don't want to get too personal but hopefully you get child support too dude. If not you should.

Yeah, I SHOULD. Should being the keyword. I'll leave it at that, due to a promise to my daughter, not to speak ill of the unnamed beast.

So I thought I had a good thing going with this girl. Turns out she's under the impression that we're still just friends.

She told me yesterday that she has a double-date that she's going on sometime soon. I asked her if this was something that she planned before she met me, and apparently she did two days before she met me. Not sure how to feel about this. I really fucking dig this girl, and anytime we're together, everything feels perfect.

Am I getting my hopes up to much? I've been out of the dating scene for over 12 years, so I'm not sure what the fuck I'm supposed to do.

Just have fun.

[Sir Legendhead]

That sounds like one of those things where if you try to hold on to it, it will escape you; yet being devoid of attachment somehow keeps it coming back. If that makes sense. Not referring to the girl as "it" of course, I'm talking about the relationship itself.

Aside from the decor and the fact I've hidden it best I can, so my room is kinda cool and geeky - THIS is what parts of my room look like.

Spoiler!

Due to us being on a 6 months tenancy agreement that requires renewal and the fact that our landlords would quite happily evict us rather than do the right safe thing and repair this damage, we're too worried about making complaints. It's so shoddy and the rent went up. Plus it lets in bad draughts in my room.

The wall had to be removed wholly last Christmas which required me having no choice but to vacate my room for an entire month (which they still wanted rent off me for). This is what they call doing a good job and what they leave behind?

The bathroom wall was structurally fucked and needed redoing and retiling, the wall has been dry as a bone for months and no tiling has occurred. Got phonecall the other day saying someone will come around and just paint it. So yeah....

GlowBear, can you call the BBB on your landlord (or whatever the equivalent is if you're not in the US)? That sounds like something that would be right up their alley. Or, if you've exhausted all your other options, remember that there's nothing that businessmen (like your landlord) hate more than bad press. So long as you've been paying rent on time every month (make sure you have proof) and haven't done anything that goes against your lease (like owning a pet when you're not allowed, etc.) then you shouldn't be worried about being evicted.

[GlowBear]

I've booked an advisory appointment with what's called Citizens Advice here - everything confidential. I want to get some info from them first on the down-low before I make any complaints. i.e I want to ensure that requesting structural damage to be mended (yet again) so that it is habitable for a human bloody being, will not result in unfair eviction or preventing us from renewing our contract when first 6 months is up. We had a 12 month contract last year, but this yeah they upped the rent and halved the contract.

They originally wanted to evict all tenants during the new tenant transfer in September so maintenance could be done in the bathroom, then when it was complete get new people in. We said we would forgo use of bathroom and find other means of shitting 'n' showering to stave off being chucked out. I want to stay here for 12 months, because it's just handier and I'm in no position yet to move, but ultimately when that period is up I'm definately moving into a different place, hopefully in same area.

Bad press is good idea heh....hmmm

If reading The Consumerist has taught me anything, it's that bad press is ALWAYS a good idea.

ISP has throttled my download to ~25 KiB/s for the last three days. The fuck?

I am in the same boat. This has been probably one of the worst fucking months of my life. I kind of just want to give up on life right now. Blah.
