This Was A Crappy Weekend
Well, there were a few highlights, but overall, it sucked.
On Friday, I noticed that there were quite a few flies in my apartment. About five to six I had counted. I was having trouble killing a few of them, so I gave up and assumed that they’d die the next day. Well, by Saturday, they had multiplied and I probably had at least 20 flies in my apartment. Yes, it was very gross. I was the only one in my apartment too since MG went home and SS had gone somewhere. Once I had seen them multiply that quickly, I freaked out. I’m not talking about a backing away motion and hiding in my room (despite the fact that they could easily fly in because I don’t have a door), but actually freaking out. I was hyperventilating and crouching in the floor. At some point, I cried. I tried to call all of my nearby guy friends, but they were all busy or not here in town. Before leaving to another rush event last night, I finally called the manager. He had sent someone here to the apartment when I wasn’t home, but when I returned this morning, there were still quite a bit of flies left. I tried to contact a few friends again, but no one answered or replied, so I told the management that the job wasn’t done. They came in, killed them all, vacuumed the dead ones, and left a lamp in case there were still a few flying around.
I am disappointed. This was not something I was taking lightly. I was seriously upset and no one came. I know that some had circumstances they couldn’t fit with, but I always thought that when you really needed someone, at least one person would come. But no one did. I was left to try and deal with this myself despite knowing how much it upset me. I needed someone, anyone, and no one could come to save me. It’s very disturbing to me right now.
Another downer for the weekend is that stupid Linksys shit that I have to deal with. Every time I call support, I have to explain the whole story again. Every time I fucking call. My case should be done with, it should be sealed. I sent them their fucking replacement unit, but they still have my case open. And what did that result in? A nice wonderful $163.11 charge (not a pending charge, but a posted charge) in my bank account. I am not a happy camper. I will barely have enough money to make rent this month, especially with the extra $30 I have to put in so I’m not a very happy camper right now.
Actually… some other things happened, but right now, I’m too upset to write about them.

*HUGS* Unfortunately I find the same thing is true for me, I have few friends that would really come help me if I were in need. But I’m glad the management company took care of it, since it is their job and all. BLERGH about the router issues. I can’t believe they still haven’t dealt with closing the file and are charging you for random stuff.

That’s life. You need new friends as I do. No one remembers my freakin’ birthday ever since high school. Damn, my life’s in vain.
