love thy (moronic) neighbour...
December 1, 2009
Had the best haircut a few days ago. My usual place of snip-snip was busy so went to another nearby. I was served by a cute blonde girl wearing a low cut top. Every time she leant across to cut my hear I was given a closeup view straight down her top! After the trim she asked if it was short enough, needless to say I requested it to be cut a little shorter!!! Yep, I don't get out very often so it was definitely the highlight of my year so far!
Bloody neighbours, especially the prick to our left. We had the fence replaced and he was very demanding about what he wanted. He originally wanted a shorter fence (five foot something) because he didn't want to pay the extra. Mind you, these numb-nuts live in a nice two-story place and have had their own carpentry business so they're not exactly short of a dollar. Dad was just going to pay the extra for the six foot something fence himself so we'd get some more privacy. The quote arrived and shitface agreed to the taller fence. Up the back of the yard the palings needed to be about two foot taller because of the slight hill our land shares, and with this extra height came an extra cost. Barry (I don't give a toss if I name him) told dad before hand that since this extra wasn't included in the quote he wasn't paying for it. It came to $40. Barry the tight arse wasn't even prepared to pay his $20 share. No big deal paying it all but it certainly demonstrates what sort of dickheads we live next door to.
Oh and Barry, if you're reading this by some fluke chance I'd just like to let you know that the fence builder thought you were the biggest pain in the arse he has ever dealt with they way you were supervising him. And all those times I helped fix your business computer for free in an attempt to help out a neighbour...I should've charged you. If it happens again you can get stuffed. Infact I'll give you a virus instead!!! Further proof that people generally only pretend to be your friend when they need or want something. When you're not needed you mean nothing to them. Barry's all nice when he wants his computer fixed, when it's fixed he disappears and doesn't even wave when I drive up the court. Then the computer will need fixing again and he acts like we're besties!
Poor Connex. Can't exactly say I'm confident that Metro Trains will do a better job that Connex but surely it can't be any worse! Metro took over the train network Monday morning, since I didn't have anything better to do Monday afternoon I caught the train into the city to see what the big deal was. To be honest the only thing that was different was the sexy new voice over announcing the next station! With the state government still in control of maintenance and the purchase of new trains I doubt very much things will change.
All in preparation for the floorboards being polished next week. We've ripped up carpets from all rooms except mine...I can't part with my computer just yet! We're spending Monday to Wednesday at my Aunts place then Thursday to Sunday staying in a Motel. With summer approaching I'm glad there's a pool, and I won't be using the tennis court! My biggest concern is not being able to keep immediately up to date with my downloaded TV shows! I'll use wireless to check my email and browse but I won't be downloading the GBs and I do here. Will load up the laptop with a stack of unseen movies and shows and watch them then.
Mum went in for a day procedure last week to have two suspect moles/lumps removed from her back. The pathology results came through today and one of those lumps was confirmed as being cancerous. The surgeon dug in quite deep to remove the one in question and is confident he removed it all. Will have more tests next month. It's all a bit of a worry at the moment, despite confidence from the specialist it still creates a certain amount of angst.
