Oh, GOODY

The blog ads must be working… I’ve already got a n00b comment.

For those of you arriving late to the party, here are the house rules:

– Make sure you look over the categories and understand the tone of the entry before you comment.
– Don’t expect me to be nice to you if you make moronic comments.
– DO expect to be ridiculed if you make really moronic comments.
– The overall tone of this blog is satirical, catty, misanthropic and ranty. Don’t like that? Move on.
– I do NOT post for you, I post for me. I vent, I talk politics, I tell stories, whatever. I do not need your input on the state of my emotions or other dimestore psychology. (See “moronic comments” above.)
– I DO love relevant commentary, especially on my political stuff.
– Last but not least: see that domain up there? It says MISANGELA, not you. This is MY blog and I reserve the right to delete comments, block commenters and otherwise bounce anyone who I deem ASSHOLE. Don’t like that? Tough titty.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I hope you enjoy your stay. ::giggle::

About those shoes

So, as you remember from a previous post, I found a pr of my cloggy sandals on eBay and bought them. It took the stupid girl (shellclarkrn, DO NOT BUY FROM HER) 2 weeks to get the shoes to me. So when I send her an email wondering where the hell my shoes are, they show up the next day. I was so excited! But then I noticed that the shoes seemed to be loose in the box…

I opened the box to find, to my dismay, that they shoes were indeed LOOSE in the frelling box. Not a shred of packing. Not even a receipt or one sheet of newsprint. Of course the shoes were all banged up from bouncing off of each other in shipping. They are WOOD, after all!! I was pissed about this, but then I took a good look at the shoes and – get this – they didn’t even MATCH!!

Bitch sold me a mismatched, beat up pair of shoes! She says in her ebay post about how “new” they are… “I wore these one time. They are in perfect shape and you can’t even tell they were ever worn.”

What a load of bullshit! So, I promptly left her NEUTRAL feedback, not even the NEGATIVE the bitch deserved. I know better than to leave negative feedback for these assholes on eBay. It causes a flame war and they ALWAYS deny any wrongdoing. As she denies any wrongdoing with the neutral. She’s such a bitch. I sent her a message informing her that she should be happy for the neutral since she deserved negative and she writes back whining about how horrible I am and that I should’ve asked her about it.

Well, excuse me, but I do NOT have time to go back and forth with some random eBay bitch about a $5 pr of shoes that SHE fucked up. She insists that the shoes are “perfect”, etc. etc. Rilly? Behind the cut are pix of the “perfect” shoes. What do you think?

BlogExplosion ad

So, I just paid $5.50 for a supposed 18k impressions with Blog Explosion. It was an impulse buy and the fact that I love my banner so much! It’s the header up there with the Misangela dollie and backwards Leonardo font with the tagline “She’ll get medieval on your buttocks!”

HAR! Guess I’ll have to write a few rants and/or flames to uphold that tagline, eh? Gods know I’ve had a few socio-political rants simmering for a few months. I’ve just not felt particularly verbose. The insurance rant was a good one – I’m still pissed off about that. The letter to various and sundry governmental figures as well as Clark Howard is about half done. I’ll post it here when it’s finished.

I’ve been too busy with work to do any significant blogging, truthfully. But I think I’ve reached a lull, so I’ll try to write some more substantial posts. Stay tuned.

Worky Weekend

To balance the yin-yang of worky vs no worky weekends, we had to work this weekend. Which is really not as tedious as it sounds. When you work from home, truly every day is a work day of some sort.

Within our working, we did manage to get some fun stuff sandwiched in as well. Saturday we got up and worked for a few hours then went to Good Neighbor Day at Peachtree-Dekalb Airport. This year is the 100 Year Anniversary of flight in GA, so they pulled out all the stops. The airshow was outstanding! We got to meet one of the aerobatic pilots and I loved asking technical questions about how they get the aircraft to do the crazy things they do. It was too fun! Nick will have pix up soon, I’ll link to them when he does. The funny part of the show was that we ended up buying some plants for the yard as our souvenirs! The Keep Chamblee Beautiful table was selling plants so I got a black elephant’s ear, a peach Angel’s Trumpet and a bush with variegated red blooms (Rose of Sharon?). All for $10! Yay!

Saturday night, our Heather came over and played chess with Nick (no contest), hung out on the deck and fiddled with fabric. She also lobbied heavily for us to join her and her mom (+ friend) at the Renaissance Festival on Sunday. We had to pass due to our workload. She left around 2:30am – it was a very long day!

Sunday we slept in but after coffee and the paper we jumped on our projects with gusto. Nick cranked out the PAWS programme and I got about a third of Oracle up. We worked for about 3 hours before we heard from Heather, et. al., who we were meeting for lunch at Six Feet Under. So we went out for a late lunch and got back here by around 6:30pm. We were good and didn’t drink any beer with lunch, so we got right back to work when we returned and worked until 10pm.

We were very satisfied with our balance of work/socialising this weekend! It’s rare we can manage such a feat! :-)

This morning, we put in a bid for a print job with a big restaurant company. If we get it, it will totally catch us up plus give us a very nice nest egg. Not to mention that we’ll have our foot in the door with a large company who could give us lots of work! Awesome! Everyone send us “get the gig” vibes!! :-)
