Sometimes I Say Too Much, Sometimes It's Not Enough

I think I have mentioned this before but it never hurts to reiterate it... I really truly do not like people... They are stupid and they piss me off. There are a select few who I can tolerate without working at it. More and more I just want to pop an alkaseltzer in my mouth when someone approaches me and start gibbering and foaming at the mouth in the hopes that they will leave me alone now and forever... My neighbors happen to be some of the people I would love to do that to...

I really don't mind the chick; personally I don't think she is too bright but she is nice. The dude totally rubs me the wrong way and reminds me way too much of the neighbors we had before that ended up being nasty crackheads who got their baby taken away. Their M.O. is that he drinks (even though he told the landlord he's clean and sober, ha!) then they get into a fight, and then she ends up storming off and screaming at the top of her lungs at him out in the central courtyard of the complex (okay, it's really only six cottages, I am not sure if you can really call it a complex...) about what a piece of shit he is and he can fuck off and blah blah blah... This happened before back in November and they left one of the children outside, unattended after they took off in the car screaming and cussing at 10:30pm!!! And more recently they were at it AGAIN Sunday night, not nearly as bad as the November event (which I wrote up a statement on and sent to my landlord). I really don't like getting involved in that kind of crap but if it happens again, cops will be called.

Yesterday morning as I am warming up the truck to go to work, he pops over to the garage and asks me if there is a light switch in my garage for the carport lights. I told him there was (thinking he wanted to change one of the burnt out bulbs, well what I had assumed was a burnt out bulb), and then asked him if he was going to change the bulb. He said no. He wanted to know if I would shut the switch to the carport lights off during the day.... I just kind of looked at him and said I would think about it... Then he goes on to tell me about how expensive their power bill has been the last two months, and I'm thinking, "Well... Maybe if your dumbass didn't stand there with the front door WIDE open while you smoke on the porch so you don't miss any of your oh-so-precious game your fucking bill wouldn't be so high... Or maybe try not having every mother fucking light on in your house..." And how they are trying to save every little bit, and they believe that the carport lights run on their meter. Now, here's the kicker.... The carport lights? Firstly they consist of two 11 watt fluorescent bulbs that are energy-motherfucking-efficient. Secondly, they are light sensitive fixtures, which means when it is daytime they are off unless it is really REALLY cloudy and dark....

Then, after I get home from work, Collin informs me that the neighbor dude approached him as well, and admitted that he had unscrewed one of the bulbs in the carport that we had put in... As far as I am concerned, those lights are there for the safety and security of the tenants, and I will be damned if I am made responsible for turning them on and off on a daily basis. I pay $60 a month for my garage. What? Next are they going to ask us to not go in and out of our garage so much?! So I called my landlord and left a message for her to call me today. I am pretty positive she will back me on this. I mean, seriously, what if I have to work late, or I am gone overnight? I sure as shit am not going to let some other tenant (whom I don't particularly trust) have a key to MY garage so they can turn the lights on and off...

If they ask again before I have a chance to talk to the landlord I am going to be blunt about it and tell him that I haven't talked to the landlord yet, but I believe those lights are for the security of the tenants and I am not going to make myself responsible for them being on. It's ridiculous!

At least today is Friday, and I have an awesome four day weekend ahead of me! Get my hair done tomorrow, going to the mall and then to see K on Sunday, and spending Monday and Tuesday with my husband doing awesome things!! Just have to make it to five o'clock and then I don't have to come back to this hell hole until Wednesday. Yipee!! Now to skate through my workday... Please let it pass quickly like bad mexican food, but not with so much burning...
