Quick peeve: people who track slush/gravel/salt into the lobby of my apartment building. The door mat is there for a reason, people! It's not too hard to stamp your feet a few times, and makes the job of the superintendent much easier. There, I feel better now....
Maltese are the same. We have spent a fortune in dentals. One dog is toothless and the other 2 have 12 & 14 teeth left & I think they start with about 42. Vets on the West Coast make a fortune.
yes ...Medical costs :D http://watchfree.me/20/w.pngQuote:

I did make it to work, albeit 3 hours late but if I known I was going to get a point anyway I should have just turned around and gone home and enjoyed the day off. Sheesh!
Is it too much to ask a co-worker to respond within 24 hours to an email asking a direct question? I had to escalate it to her boss, which I don't like doing, but I could not afford to be kept in the dark about the status.
Cmon people, it takes like 2 minutes to type "yes, I can work on that and get you the data Thursday." After escalating to her boss, she emailed me apologizing saying she meant to discuss my request with "her team" before getting back to me. Okay, fine, but clue me in too so we all know what's happening. Hit reply to my emails, it's simple!!
Ok, I have this adorable pair of navy, cap-toe flats. They are the cutest blue shoes I own (other pair is only quasi-cute.)
The problem is the are size 7 (my size) but the fit like a size 5 narrow (little girls.) Seriously these shoes are like an iron maiden--for my feet!
I keep wearing and wearing them thinking I'll break them in but it never gets any better. Every time I wear them, I complain vociferously to anyone willing to listen--and many unwilling.
Finally, a couple weeks ago I bought a $23 pair of shoe stretchers on Amazon. Then, I applied the pressure. For one whole week! (Instructions say 48 hours.) Every other day I went in and ratcheted up the pressure another notch. I thought by the time I took out the stretchers they would be swimming on my feet. Not so. They were better but they were still crushing my toes flat.
Today I decided to wear the shoes again, knowing they were only somewhat improved but by the time I put them on this morning, they had returned to their original size! But I wore them anyway (what's one more day? And they are so cute.) By the end of the day I was limping so bad my knee is throbbing because apparently I changed my gait to minimize the crushing pressure.
Tonight I put them in the box to take to Goodwill (again.) This time they're not coming back out.
non-stop airplane noise. grrrr.
follow the dang flight path, pilots!
The dark side of AirBnB. >:(
My last renters left my cabin in disarray - moved all the furniture, broke a curtain rod, messed with the ceiling fan so it's all wobbly (there is a label to use the wall switch!) put a bunch of semi-clean dishes in the cupboards, left a window propped open with a book (one of MY books, apparently they couldn't figure out how to use a window.)
The fan is what I'm most concerned about. Idiots. I wasn't surprised to find two near-empty wine bottles in the fridge with corks floating inside them.
And what is irritating is that I can't really say that none of this was due to normal wear and tear. Some people just wear and tear a whole lot more than others. As dd says, the amount of stupid ....
I hope you leave a report on them as renters. I know you use to be able to do that, haven't used AirBnB in a few years but had great experience everytime...even when I had to drive the owner to the ER at 3 in the morning once.
I'm going to deduct the money for repair from the security deposit and am composing a politely negative review.
No one should have to put up with these monkeys.
