those who run…will be burned

I’ve come across another site for coupon codes, but this one has a firefox extension to alert you just before you buy something online at full price to let you know there is a coupon code available for it. Pretty cool. They have codes for just about anything, including a travelocity coupon.
Tonight my wife filled me in on her recent reading on fasting. Obviously it’s a way to lose some weight, but more interestingly is all the other crazy stuff that goes on in the month of not eating. Apparently after your body passes the stage of starvation it breaks down a ton of stuff in your body and then rebuilds it. A lot of it sounds totally gross, but it looks like it would be worth it in the long run. I’m not sure if I personally would be able to pull it off or not with my working in the heat all day, but I think if Jen really wants to she can do it. If she actually made it a month I would totally have to do something killer for her. I may not have the cashola for some diamond rings but I am sure I can come up with something pretty groovy.
Well I was awarded “Store Champion” of the service department at work. It doesn’t really mean that much, but it is still nice to finally be recognized for the work I do. The 50 dollar gift certificate doesn’t hurt either. I used it for a big ass jacket for the winter. The only thing worse than being stuck working in the 100+ weather, is being stuck working in the cold, and thanks to the wonderful uniform policy where I work you either buy the over priced $60 jacket, or freeze. On a side note my wife and I are gearing up to put more time into looking at some real estate and get the ball rolling so we are ready to move out when the lease is up. So close yet so far.
I have been getting a ridiculous amount of spam email lately. I am not quite sure what has caused the surge of crap mail, but for the most part Gmail has done a kick ass job of keeping it out of my inbox. Still for some reason it annoys me to get spam at all. I just can’t believe how full of bullshit the internet still is. Ads on every damn page, popups, adware, spyware, viruses, and spam…. it’s nuts.

It won’t be too much longer that Jen and I will be looking to move. Before we can do that tho we are going to need a loan of some sort. I don’t really know anyone willing to loan out that kind of cash on a personal loan so we should probly start hitting up some banks sometime soon. I have heard that homeowner loans are much easier to get, but we don’t really have a lot of personal experience on the matter. I guess we will just have to see firsthand when the time comes. It will actually be pretty fun trying to get a loan just knowing that its out ticket out of this place.
The pest control people showed up…finally. I waited for fucking ever. I was expecting a bunch of bullshit when I told them we were refusing the spray, but they were actually pretty cool about it. They seemed unsure about it at first, but when I agreed to let them put the traps, they just asked that if the office were to ask if they sprayed that I would tell them they did. I don’t know why the hell the office would ask me, but whatever. At least all that crap is over with. Next week the office will probly need to check everyones fridge or something.

Just the other day at work I was talking to someone about running my computer to the big screen tv, when they told me about a friend of theirs who had theirs running to a projector on an insanely huge wall. He said the players were so big they almost looked life size. Anaheim projector rental offers projectors just like that at a great price, and would go great for all types of parties. They deliver via Fed Ex to several cities including Nashville. If you are in the need for a projector be sure to check them out.
Today the office is planning on having someone spray everyones apartment for brown recluses. This is completely stupid considering the fact that it is one of the types of spider that spraying doesn’t really do anything. I read they can even eat other dead bugs that have been killed by pesticide, so it just makes their life easier. We really don’t want the place to be sprayed, mainly because of the baby, but I don’t want the rest of my family breathing in that crap either. They didn’t even give a time. They just said the spraying was mandatory and that you would need to leave the apartment for an hour after they sprayed.
It should be a fun day. The women in the office pretty much hate us. When things go wrong we call and try to get it fixed. Crazy I know. It usually results in them sending a disgusting, crack headed (confirmed), dumpster diving (I’ve witnessed it twice) woman who smells so bad I can hardly stomach to tell her what is wrong. Best of all she doesn’t do anything. I usually get the feeling she is just scoping out our place for something to steal later. Which brings me to another great thing about this place.
I kid you not, almost every 2 weeks or so there is a note on everyones door letting you know that the apartment staff will be coming into your apartment for some reason. There recently was 2 times they needed to come in and “check the air units”. Well the second time I actually watched the person a bit more closely. They were clearly more interested in looking around in our kitchen. They looked at the air unit literally for 2 seconds.
Then there was the bs about the dishwashers. They left one of their famous monthly notes that there was a recall on GE dishwashers and needed to “check the serial numbers” on everyones unit. The thing is tho, we complained so much about our dishwasher that they gave us a new one ( along with a new stove, and 2 range hoods ). It was a friggin Whirlpool. So my wife left a note on the door that we had a Whirlpool and that there was no reason for them to enter the apartment. But the day came and they banged on the door, and had their keys ready to enter before my wife could even get to the door. The woman insisted that she still needed to check the serial number. I bet.
The thing that pisses me off the most tho is that before our daughter was born we called numerous times to have the apartment sprayed for bugs, and not one time did they ever show up. Now that she is here and we don’t want it, its mandatory. Well we will just see about that. I’ll let them serve us with eviction before they come in here and spray that crap everywhere.
I remember when my wife and I thought that these were some of the nicest apartments in Hendersonville. I used to work with the woman that was in charge at the time, and she was really on the ball. The breezeways were pressure washed regularly, and she told us that everyone who wanted it could have their apartment sprayed up to twice a month. I remember we were really impressed, and the place looked great. In as little as the 2 years it was before we actually moved in, the new staff really let the place go to hell. Luckily we are nearly down to half a year on the lease. Hopefully we can dodge the spiders and crackheads for that long.
