bizarro world here i come

let’s see it’s been awhile since the last entries. since then it’s been a bizzaro world.

all around me i feel like i’m in another world. last weds my mom gets me to take kaila to school…something doesn’t seem quite right when i arrive…no matter it’s about kaila … and being trained…

then it all makes sense..the instructor: “welcome to women and their dogs, i’m glad you could all make it…”

i look at my mom…she doesn’t hear a thing. i think this is the same trait that prevents my mom from understanding lyrics in a song. actually no it’s not cuz now that i think about it about 90% of people out there don’t listen to the lyrics of a song…just look at all the people who “love” that new song on the charts that’s utter crap….k that’s another rant.

anyways it’s okay because “family members” are welcome haha…the class is split there’s all the women/girls who have their cutesy little novelty dogs and then there’s the ones with the big protection dogs…

haha

anyways from that it goes on to my vehicle i bring it in..and of course after all these delays i’m finally getting it fixed…but..they gave me an echo hatchback…argh…this thing is freaking tiny…

then of course the week has run it’s course of crazy ex boyfriends who are trying to reunite with my friends because they’re getting fucking old and feel the need to marry…oh yeah that’s gonna miraculously happen…sheesh.

then there’s just the normal list of crazy’s littering the globe…who have their various shares of ego, self esteem problems and issues.

ah well…i’m content with where i am and where my life is…..and after this reverts back to normal…i’m officially developing agoraphobia…

Holy Carp Manbat

this is my rant on ICBC’s inability to resolve anything in a timely manner.

the situation all started back end of july sometime when i had parked my car downtown to enjoy a nice apres work meal with joyce, jin, and a few others at milestones. everything was well, i had a good parking spot we had the nice patio seating right on robson.

of course all is not well when i return to my car to discover a nasty napkin that (most likely was previously wrapped around a hot dog) under my wiper. i take a look and there it is “VW 611 BHN”…

great…so i look around my car and all that joking about someone knicking my car during the meal comes true…there’s minor paint chips on my vehicle.

i report it to ICBC the next day and they promptly take all the details, I even advise them i’m not sure who left the note or if it’s accurate…they inform that’s fine just bring your car in and we’ll take a look…

i meet my adjustor…christine lee…she fits the stereotypical “christine lee, age 30, single, asian”…she does not fail to fit the stereotype i have developed. yes she’s the over eager must prove myself in the male dominated corporate world..so i’m overcompensating.

i have no issues with women that do well … they usually are the ones with the exceptional drive and memorable smile … the GREAT personality and character.

it’s the ones that want to be that but are unable to and make up with being overly bitchy instead….

anyways the evaluator takes a look at my car photographs, measurements etc… and deems yes indeed the points of impact match up with a vw rabbit of 1986 which is what the license plate matches..

good i think at least we’ve got the right person..so i’m instructed to wait before doing any repairs just to be safe because they must contact the other party first.

then end of october rolls around..i finally get a call from christine informing me the other party never showed all responsibility is on them therefore they are at full fault i don’t have to pay my deductable…about time…

so i’m informed she’ll be mailing me a letter and all i’ll have to do is bring it in…great.

i visit hi-light (where if you all remember from when i first got my car is where i got my rear-ended bumper replaced the first time)…they quickly inform me that ICBC has failed to provide me with the repair sheet… GREAT!!! good going christine..

so quick phone call from thai at hi-light to icbc and short request is supposed to result in an immediate fax copy to the shop..but of course it doesn’t come through…another 3 attempts with the last being on the phone with christine…still nothing…

i waste 2 hours at the shop only to be directed away …

so my car is still not fixed and we’re running up on 5 months since this mishap happened…great to see that “a timely manner” does not exist in the vocabulary of ICBC…

argh..

heaven

shit. rudeness is a bitch. a bitch that bites with wicked fury that clouds over everything, your judgement, your sight, everything. (de la soul - keeping the faith)

they should re-introduce etiquette classes into elementary…i had them so i’m sure many others did as well. i’m sure it’s not taught anymore however just look at all the little peon’s running around stepping on everyone’s toes sending jilting anger through your nerves…

maybe i’m being uber sensative it just seems i’m surrounded by people full of qualities i don’t exactly find appealing…like all the S.O.B’s at work…

no not son of a bitch…but soap opera bitches/bastards… usually the 30 something single female with no life, so thus must live through their daily dose of soap opera whether fulfilled through reality tv shows, co-workers or celeb gossip.

they exhibit typical qualities. they are proud to be “cougars”. they think they’re hot. they think they’ve got what every guy wants. they understand all of life’s problems. they have a solution to a problem that you didn’t involve them in.

they’re just a walking contradiction. they’re the complete opposite of what they believe they are. if they’re so hot and got everything, looks, intellect, life figured out…then why the fuck are they single when they so yearn to be attached to hot property males?

it’s all the result of messed up education of the masses. if anyone read the province today there’s an article blasting prince charles for some comments he made.

i tend to side with him. he said something to the effect that he’s tired of seeing how education these days keeps churning out people that think they can achieve more than they technically have the skill to or the natural ability. everyone’s coming out thinking they can be movie stars, celebrities, big shots, etc. some people do and should be recognized by the simple fact is there’s so many that can’t.

it’s the result of an education system that’s afraid to tell someone they’ve “failed” at doing something, all this positive is churning out seriously misguided people.

the critics blast prince charles for being a simpleton himself so how can he speak of others like this? well thing is, the people that normally criticize are the ones who fall in the group that “can’t” the ones that can’t perform or have natural ability.

*sigh*

anyways…things have just been frustrating today…who knows what it is..a combination of the dismal weather, work being busy, dealing with various people all day…i guess everything’s balanced…

equal amount of good happened today to balance things out i guess

i had more of my calls monitored and i’m doing well. not to mention i made it to work on time today. got in a run with kaila. it’s all good.

balance.

shit why can’t the world just balance out…*sigh* heaven.

cemented place in line….to hell

so i was surfing around the net blog-hopping and was reading one guy’s frustration on tying shoe laces and his decision to go with all lace-less slip-on style shoes and from link to link i hopped over to a site that taught you how to tie your shoe laces.

low and behold i see this link on “the art of tying your shoe laces” and a few different methods and i see this pop out at me “one handed”…

i’ve actually seen this done once and i thought it would be cool the geek that i am to learn how to do it….

the link took me to a page that was definitely not what i was expecting…

all i know is i laughed real hard when i saw it, i hope i laughed because it was something completely different from what i was expecting and not because i’m an asshole. it’s like laughing a funeral…i hope…

i thought i’d share. i have a feeling some of you will be joining me in hell.

tying your shoelace with one hand

bon appetite

moby

so eminem comes out with kust lose it and follows up with mosh pre-election of course..and redeems himself to even non-eminem fans with his political views…so much so look at what i found…

even Moby likes his video.

i thought that was rather intersting.
