В общем, про операцию на прошлой неделе папе сказали "нет ( Read more... )

My favorite pair of boots is, unfortunately, kaput. Reanimation procedures I attempted last year have failed. My feet are now freezing in them even indoors and the heel feels funny so might break off should I step in a crack or something. But these are still such awesome boots... I went back through my LJ to see when I actually bought them - ( Read more... )

Yesterday I saw mile-long gas lines, today I saw no lines at all. But I saw all six gas stations I drove by flash big "NO GAS" signs. I really hope it gets better by next Friday, or I will have to get very, very creative. With a perspective of spending a night in New Brunswick. I wouldn't worry too much if I only had this one job - first of all ( Read more... )

Driving home from work today, I saw something I don't think I have ever seen before - long, LONG gas lines. As in "twisting all the way around two blocks with traffic being directed around them by a couple police squads" long. Curiously, I did not see any lines that I noticed at the BP on my way to work this morning... We have rationing of 10 ( Read more... )

And even if you don't, please check your credit cards and bank statements for unauthorized charges coming from iTunes. I went to pay my credit card bill earlier today and I found two charges from iTunes from March 28th, totaling over $200. Of course, I reported it to my credit card and closed the account right away for fraud. However, I do not ( Read more... )

Remind me again, why do I even bother trying that sorry excuse for a toaster oven that my work has? Wasted good 15 minutes on it just to get my schnitzel out barely warmer than it was when I put it in. That made me very angry on top of the pre-existing flare-up of my idiot allergy (there are times when stupid things other people do or say ( Read more... )

Somehow, I managed to really screw up my computer karma this week. Probably by being a lazy ass, but still, it hurts ( Read more... )

I am getting really, really wary of the Missouri river flooding. Not only it was scary to see the waterfront statues chest-deep in the water, but it is also because my parents have to be driving to Minnesota this weekend. And because my friend is going to come visit me for the July 4th weekend and Omaha airport is right on the river. Right now, ( Read more... )

I absolutely hate being sick. Besides obvious physical unpleasantness, there is something inherently wrong in this situation. I am supposed to be the one on the other side, in neatly pressed white coat, smiling and telling people what to do. Not sitting on the couch, my eyes watery and miserably, my nose running like a freaking water main (good ( Read more... )

I think I found just the recipe for liking New Jersey's incompetent bureaucracy. Moving to New York cures it just like that, because idiocy is even more pervasive on THIS side of the river.

Tomorrow I shall brave one of the worst examples of just how sucky New York can be, as I have to pay a visit to the local DMV.
