Belleville SlutWalk

A friend and I have decided our city of Belleville should have it's own SlutWalk... Many larger cities and towns have been having them so we decided we would love to see people coming out and walking for the cause. 

Slut-shaming has become more and more prevalent in our society and it a practice that even law enforcement has fallen into. The phrase "she was asking for it..." is said more and more. (Which, I might add, is strange because rape cannot be asked for by definition.) We are walking to show that Sluts and Allies alike, whether promiscuous, prostitute or nun, does not deserve to be sexually assaulted, raped or molested. 

If you are from Belleville, you should come out with us. March, stomp, shimmy and shake awareness into our little town! 

Belleville SlutWalk link is right here! 

The event is May 17th at 11am. 

We will be collecting donations for a local charity... If you have a suggestion for where our donations should go to, leave a comment or message us in the event! 

See you all there! 

Blah...

I am having a shit week. Rogers is being a bunch of dicks. My room mate listed me as a contact on her account, now whenever her phone gets cut off or past due, they suspend my phone from calling customer care and they call me repeatedly to try and collect her money.

I have also been back at work again after taking a week off. It makes me feel horrible, I get a migraine every day. Not to mention feeling like I'm going to vomit and pass out every time I go outside. I hate feeling like I'm trapped in this shit job.

Not to mention we have new neighbours. They are the most dreadful, aweful, horrible people I have ever met. They have a toddler who screams at the top of his lungs for hours, rides a plastic tricycle that makes it sound like a bowling ball is rolling down my hall and when not doing that he runs back and forth down the hallway like a dog on a run. Probably because he doesn't go outside. Best part is they like to play children's music at ridiculous levels at 9am. And when that doesn't make the kid happy you can hear the dad yelling at his 2 year old to shut the fuck up. Why they are having another baby is beyond me. They clearly are terrible parents already.

Good news is I got a referral to a foot surgeon. I just have to wait for an appointment and then they will remove the toenail from my foot. 1 year later than I would have liked but anything is better than this toe.

Well, that's my rant for tonight. Will post again soon.

Oh Canada

I miss fall... Seriously...

Fall has to be the most beautiful season in Canada. The bright vibrant colours and the bustling leaves. Cool breezes mingled with warm days... That's the life.

Seriously...

My room mate is driving me insane. She is completely incapable of caring for herself, nevermind her animals. Now she wants to take one of the kittens and transport him back and forth the Kingston a shit tonne of times while she spreads for some random.

She is such an idiot. Like honestly, she can't scoop a litter box and doesn't pay for there food or litter. Not to mention that she has never paid for worm or flea medication... Or bathed her cat.

And who the fuck takes a cat travelling back and forth... If she gets stuck there or Gizmo freaks out, he is screwed. Not to mention, I just got him potty trained. Her moving him all over the place is going to seriously fuck that up.

I think I'm just going to get my mom to help me place him somewhere. And if my animals are touched, there will be blood. Her claiming that all the animals are hers, fuck that noise. She has put nothing into those animals. No work, no love, no attempt to care for them. Her taking in Nicki was shit. To her, animals are toys. Garbage... Things...

I can't imagine treating animals like possessions. She does.... It's pitiful. The only thing she can love is dick. She is a two bit cheap whore. Spreading her legs for the first two legged critter that slithers up and pays attention to her.

I do all the housework, she sits on her fat ass...  Including caring for the pets. Good luck getting anything from me. She can pry those animals from my cold dead hands.

Frustrated

I'm getting seriously frustrated and upset with the level of procrastination in the people around me. I find it so disheartening that I want to completely give up.

I honestly feel like I can't move forward because of the people that I'm with. There is always the exception to the rule, but I feel like I'm carrying the people in my life. It's like trudging through mud, slow and unyielding.

I just want to set aside everyone else for a while and be completely alone. I can't think or breathe without having some sort of stress interrupt me.

I want to pay my rent on time, I want to get my bills paid up and I would love to properly shop for healthy food. This seems to be completely impossible for me to do when no one else is contributing the same effort.

I wish I could scream, but I don't even have a voice anymore.

Seagate... What an impression.

So a while ago I purchased a Seagate 1.5 tb desktop external hard drive. It was a great price and it seemed really solid.

Last night before going to sleep I noticed a beeping noise coming from the hard drive. After some searching on the internet, it became clear that it was an issue that cropped up a lot with Seagate hd's.

Fearing that my drive was going to die and I would lose all my data, I called the company. I got accidentally disconnected from one tech rep bit when I called back I managed to touch base with a guy who quickly got me from verifying my account to working on the issue.

I was immediately offered a replacement drive and given the shipping options. I wasn't really happy with having to pay shipping to send it back or to pay them for what should be a warranty replacement. After I asked politely, the fees were waived and the order was set up.

It was almost effortless and compared to most other experiences I have had with other companies. I was actually very impressed with the whole experience. For as much as I was really unhappy that my drive was screwed up, I cannot say enough about how Seagate made me a seriously happy customer.

Definitely worth it for what I paid.

Back to work

So I have now been back to work for 2 weeks and it literally makes me want to find a window and jump.

I have decided I hate my job more than anything else in my life. It's boring, monotonous and filled with idiots. Literally. I have to fix people's printers because they are too useless to understand how google works. It's a printer.... Either its broken or its not.

Oh, your printer is spewing toner everywhere and has spontaneously combusted? Ever think of turning the stupid thing off? No? Okay then, just keep trying to print and then instead of telling me what the issue is, call and give a vague description of it... Like "my printer is not working" or "it won't print" How about you actually tell me what's going on, so I don't have to play 20 million questions to get the answer.

Oh and the best part is going from my leave to work 10 hour shifts... That is seriously messed up and unnecessary. Not to mention its actually an 11 hour shift... So calculating travel time, I get to spend more time at or travelling to work then I get to spend at home most days... Sounds perfect for someone who has anxiety and stress issues... >.<

Not to mention my benefits company, Sunlife, is the worst benefits company I have ever encountered. They had no one to answer the phone when I called on more than one occasion. If you leave a voicemail, you can count on it never being listened to or your call returned. And then even if you were previously approved for benefits for the same issue, you will still be forced to go through the approval process again. You have to submit a 1 page, 2 sided document that it apparently it took the representative 5 business days to read and process... If you have that many issues with English, you might want to take some lessons or something.

And I am so sick of being asked if I am happy to be back... I know its polite but seriously... Am I happy to be back at the job that stressed me out to a point where I mentally snapped and my body began to believe all food and contact with the outdoors was evil? Yes..  that's why I have a similar crazy grin and eye twitch to a hobo that is about to kill, cannibalize and rape you... In that order.

At least the kittens are getting bigger. They are like 6 weeks now and 2 of them have hopefully found their new families. Bonnie and Clyde are the first to go... Now I just need a home for Gizmo if I can give him up... You really do get attached to the little buggers...

Oh and Christmas, I am almost ready for it... I have most of my gifts done. Now I only have my 2 nephew's gifts and my friends Barb and Cory to buy for. I am finding the boys really hard to buy for... I don't know what little boys like these days... I'm almost set on getting them nerf guns and some extra darts... I will have to make sure to tell them not to shoot there sister or the new baby when she comes along.

Well... Back to my sleepy weekend. I really need to find some more mushrooms so I can get rid of these headaches for a while... They are killing me!
