the egg is now in a nest made of shitty swords and soft puppet ass

Just got off the phone with UPS.

The first guy I talked to kept repeating “sry adverse weather, see it says so right here on the site, I don’t have any control over what goes out for delivery when” until I asked him to transfer me to the person who DID have control over what goes out for delivery when, at which point the conversation went into an infuriating mobius double reacharound of:

Him: I don’t have access to that system.

Me: Okay, so can you please transfer me to someone who DOES have access to that system?

Him: I don’t have access to that system.

Me: I know that I’m asking you to transfer me to someone who DOES.

Him: But ma’am, I don’t have access to that system, I keep trying to tell you.

Me: I KNOW THAT, I am asking you to transfer me to someone who DOES have access to–

Him: Ma’am, I don’t know what you want me to do, I don’t have access to that system.

Me: *mute* FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU *unmute* okay do you have a supervisor, can you transfer me to your supervisor, how about that *thinks “oh my god if he tells me he doesn’t have access to that system I am going to cry”*

Him: I can do that.

Hallelujah Chorus: *plays*

So the supervisor at least put forth some effort into trying to find out why the hell the local facility has been sitting on my shit for two days now, but all she could get was “it’ll be delivered in the next few days.” And she couldn’t give me the phone number to the local facility. Or even tell me which one it is. However, I did finally get a response to one of the e-mails, and that associate let slip that my crap went to the Sweetwater service center.

So I can either suck it up and wait for my shit in peace, attempt to find a direct phone number to that center, or call AT&T and go…

On the plus side, my Wii adapter is scheduled to be delivered today (shipped from Maryland a day after my U-verse shit, mind you–yes, UPS can drive a package halfway across the country in less time than it takes to fly one from Dallas to Houston, note to self, never have anything shipped 2-Day Air again ever) so hopefully that will resurrect my Wii so I can at least play Guitar Hero or some shit while I’m waiting for UPS to give me my really important stuff. ;_;

I am all for strong female characters in books and movies and games and everything else but dudes? You are doing it so, so, so very wrong.

You know those squealing yaoi fangirls who wiggle and pee all over themselves when they read a fic or see some art with two willowy hairless girly boys holding hands, but curl up in a little dry-heaving ball and go EWW EWW EWW GROSS GROSS GROSS when they encounter real gay people?

This is their final boss form.

“Gay marriage doesn’t produce anything that the state has an interest in. Gay sex produces AIDS.”

I wish I could say I can’t believe there are actually people who believe shit like this. The sad thing is, I can.

So a month after Manager Cousin and I applied for our disaster unemployment money seeing as how we were out of work for a week after Ike and lost a paycheck, after TWC has sent us both letters saying “yes, we will pay you,” after multiple jackasses at TWC have told me, MC, and Aunt Boss “yes, you will be paid” multiple times…

WE’RE NOT FUCKING GETTING PAID.

That’s right. Long story short: we don’t qualify for the federal disaster unemployment money because Aunt Boss pays all the taxes and shit she is supposed to pay. We DO qualify for state unemployment money, but guess what those fuckers do with the first week’s payment! Go on, guess!

If you said “they hold it until you have requested payment for three weeks such that if you were only out of work for one or two weeks you will never actually be paid,” GO GET YOURSELF A COOKIE. You’ll have to pay for it yourself, though. OH BUT THEY WILL LET ME APPEAL THAT IF I AM WILLING TO FILL OUT A WHOLE SHITLOAD MORE PAPERWORK yeah um no.

No, I’m not that broke, I’m not hurting for money right now, and thank FSM I had an extra bill-free week last month and sat on that money so I could pay my rent and phone bill just in case something like this happened and you know what, there are people who need that money worse than I do, but son of a bitch, if you say you’re going to pay me, then is it unreasonable to assume you’re going to put a check in my mailbox, which is kind of what the dictionary definition of the word “pay” implies?

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

is it can be beer tiem nao plees
