May. 3rd, 2008 09:45 amStupid rabbits built a nest right on my front lawn, and multiplied there like.... well, like rabbits. I noticed it last night, AFTER they mowed the lawn. Looks like they are all still alive. I am going to put up a little temporary fence around the nest, I don't want any blood spilled on my property. And next week I am going to plant cucumbers, and this vermin will eat up all the vines.
I hate the phone. I really do. I remember in my youth, long ago, I used to sit by the phone and wait for someone to call, I would even pick it up every once in a while to make sure that there is dial tone, I just couldn't believe that it's not ringing because nobody wants me. And now I wish it would shut up. It doesn't ring all that often, but always at a very inconvenient time. It doesn't bother me if rings while I am cleaning the house, or cooking, or folding the laundry because I am on my feet anyway. But no, it doesn't ring then. But the moment I get myself something to eat, pour a cup of tea and sit down on the couch with the laptop, there it is! Get up! So here I am, balancing the laptop on my left knee, a plate on my right knee, holding a cup of tea in my hand and dreaming of committing violent and obscene acts. So I get up with great difficulty, run to the phone, pick it up only to hear someone ask if Carlos is there. I politely explain that they got the wrong number and go back to the couch. I take the phone with me, just in case Carlos calls to find out if anybody'd called for him. I sit down, place the laptop on my left knee, the plate on my right, pick up my cup of cold tea and hear the cell phone start to ring in my bag in the kitchen.

Я недавно писала о моей подруге Дебби, у которой был инсульт. http://tenorgroupie.livejournal.com/48029.html Она уже вышла на работу, хоть и чувствует себя неважно - сильные головные боли и усталость. В первый же день начальник сказал ей, что заплатит только за три дня больничного, остальное пусть выбивает из страховой компании. Дебби обречённо вздохнула и сказала, что ладно, уж будет как будет. А что ей остаётся? Тогда этот мудак наорал на неё за то, что неправильно настроена, нет оптимизма и энтузиазма к работе. Это я так плохо перевела "bad attitude" , может кто поможет? Бедная Дебби так опешила, что расплакалась, с ней это редко бывает, и не догадалась напомнить ему о том, что не стоит орать на человека, у которого две недели назад был инсульт.
This is about my friend Debbie, who had a stroke a couple of weeks ago. She is back at work full time, even though she still has headaches and gets tired easily. The first day back her boss told her that they will pay for only three days of sick leave, Disability will have to cover the rest. Debbie shrugged dejectedly and said that it is what it is. What else could she do? Then that asshole ripped into her for having bad attitude. Poor Debbie was so stunned by that that she broke down, even though that hardly ever happens to her, and forgot to remind him that maybe it's not such a good idea to yell at someone who'd just had a stroke.
Заеб..... достали!
Aug. 13th, 2007 08:04 amI have tile floor in my kitchen, bathrooms and hallways, it gets very slippery when it's wet. So whenever I have someone using the pool I usually throw a towel on the floor in front of the bathroom door so that nobody slips. This Saturday my mother exclaimed: "Oh, you have a towel on the floor! Is it supposed to be there?" No, Mom! I must have dropped it a couple of days ago and just left it there! And then my mother-on-law bent down, picked it up and handed it to me. Are they out of their minds? I am over 40, I've had my own family for over 20 years now and in spite of my mother's predictions haven't drowned in my own shit yet. When is this going to end?
Что же делать? Я по вторникам выходная, пошла сегодня с утра за покупками. Закупилась, загрузила всё в телегу и пошла на выход, беды не чуя. В том супермаркете интересные двери - можно выйти слева или справа, но не посредине, зато вся стена стеклянная, хорошо видно что на улице. И вот вижу старушку с пластмассовой канистрой размером с галлон по правую сторону двери, она меня узрела и стала по стойке смирно. Я развернула свою телегу и пошла к левому выходу, и тут вижу как эта бабула побежала за мной, да так прытко! Выхожу из магазина а она тут как тут, говорит что собирает на образование о зависимости к наркотикам. Я твёрдо мотнула головой и пошла к машине, а она продолжала что то бурчать. Села в машину и думаю: а ведь надо было спросить на что именно пойдут мои деньги и как они собираются этому обучать - накупят всякой наркоты и дружно перепробуют, в образовательных целях?
I get very annoyed when I see people begging by the grocery store. I am not talking about the homeless or the destitute, I am talking about various local organizations that extort our hard earned money for their causes. Don't get me wrong, I support some of them, I always donate to the veterans' organizations and for children with disabilities, but do I really have to support every single *&^%$# local sports team? The kiddies line up on both sides of the exit and shake their tin cans filled with change right in your face. It's hard to say no to a child, but enough is enough, especially since they are hardly ever supervised and sometimes get pretty nasty when you don't open your wallet.
So what's a woman to do? I am off on Tuesdays so I decided to go grocery shopping this morning. I loaded up my cart, paid for my purchases and headed towards the door. I was about to exit through the right side door when I espied an old woman holding up a gallon sized plastic container, she'd noticed me too and assumed the position. I turned around and headed towards the left door and she noticed my maneuvre and sprinted to the left. She shoved her canister at me and said that she is collecting for education about drug addiction. I firmly shook my head and headed to my car, while she continued to mumble something in my wake. After I got in the car I almost regretted not asking her how exactly will my money be spent on this type of education - are they going to buy a whole lot of illegal substances and sample them one by one, strictly for educational purposes?
