Boring Updates

A friend gave me a stern talkin' to for not writing recently. So here are some updates on my boring life. 

The internet is fixed, thank goodness. It was the cable company's fault. They came out, after canceling at least 3 appointments because there was an "outage" (not the case) only to find out that our cable line was disconnected accidentally...when someone else's was supposed to be disconnected. Oh well. We got a credit for the month we didn't have internet. 

We are still battling the roaches. An exterminator came, but we're not sure if he did anything. Had we done our research before we moved in,  we would have learned that this apartment complex has a roach problem. I'm concerned for Roommate's sanity. He encounters them more often than I do. He stumbled across a hatching of them...he killed about 30 baby roaches. He gets in roach killing mode. I think he'll get armor soon. He told me this evening he started seeing random flies, big ones, but he doesn't know where they are coming from. "I swear, someone is injecting flies into our house." I doubt we'll be renewing our lease. 

Saw The Dark Knight. Twice. Will see it again on IMAX. 

Roommate is singing along to the theme song of So You Think You Can Dance right now. I turned it on once because a friend of mine went to one of the tapings so I saw him on TV. Then I learned that the next week, Roommate watched it on his own. I turned the results show on tonight just for something to have on in the background, so he's watching. Oh, now he's telling me about who is the most technically trained of all the guys... Believe it or not, Roommate is actually one of my few heterosexual friends.

Yesterday was my last day at Apple. I couldn't have been happier. A lot of drama went down. My best friend, the senior manager, was fired for a made up, bullshit reason. The evil people in the store (who happen to also be the people that never did their jobs didn't like being told that they weren't doing their jobs by a manager brought in to fix the problems in the store) conspired to get him fired for being "intoxicated" at work. He had one glass of wine at lunch in October. PS -- this was in October, and it was brought to HR's attention in April. Yeah. Shady. Also, the iPhone was a pain in the butt, and I'm starting school soon. So I'm finished with Apple...for now...not opposed to going back if I go broke and I go to a different store where the evil people are not. 

One more week with the "real" job. Trying to finish the last podcast, but my co-editors are making it very difficult for me. Do this, then change that, no maybe this will work better, try this instead, what if....the previous podcasts have not been this difficult. But actually, their direction is less clear than that. I said, okay, so basically you just want me to make it better. I gotta figure out what it is that isn't clicking. Quickly. I must do this quickly. 

California from August 2-11. Giddy. Plans are close to being locked down. Giddy. 

Comfort and Will were eliminated from SYTYCD. 

This is all for now. I'm sleepy.
