March Coming In Like A Lion... | armine's Blog


...New England weather is crazy. For the past ten days or so, we Bostonians have been 'spoiled' by a taste of spring in the air. Now, this morning I wake up to see snow flying around outside the window, and the forecasters are saying there should be a foot (or so) of snow on the ground by tomorrow morning. 'Wunderbar' - only another month or so before spring, right? Looks like Old Man Winter isn't quite done with us yet...

Yesterday I attempted to go on my EP blogsite from my work computer, and found that I couldn't do it. So I decided to check one of my circle friend's blogpage, to see if it was just mine or everybody's - message came up 'DNS Server down'. Here at my home PC, I had no trouble getting on here... must have something to do with the work PC. Ah well - if I have to blog from my home computer then that is OK, no biggie.

Let me tell you how illiterate I am about computers!~ Yesterday I went to log on (from work), and the message kept coming up 'Monitor going to sleep'. So you know, I got out a flashlight, checked all the wires and connections for the good part of an hour... finally, exhausted I was just about to give up on it when suddenly I noticed a button on the top of the monitor, under the desk. I pressed the little button and - oh, so that's how you turn the PC on ! So if you think YOU don't know much about computers, that little ditty should make you feel more knowledgeable than me!!

My roommate is acting really kooky. Lately I have been coming home from work to a dark apartment with all the lights off; so I think 'Great, she's asleep, I can go to sleep in peace with no problems'. But then, not five minutes after I step through the door, my roommate gets up, turns the lights on and starts making all kinds of noise. On goes the TV, the radio or a DVD; I don't mind that, but she always seems to turn the volume way up. Why - so I won't be able to sleep? How came she wakes up when I get in (which is always after midnight) to start watching television real loud? I'm so sick of her drama; she's still not working, and as far as I know she has no money coming in but that's not my problem to handle. She never did go and get that surgery she should have gotten in the fall. She lies to me and her mother about having a job - she does not have a job. I am tired of her constant lying and dishonesty; I don't trust anything she says, and I wish the landlord would wake the hell up and see her as she really is. This cannot go on forever; a part of me believes that eventually she and I will part ways, but I don't see why I should be the one that has to move out when I am the good one and she is the bad one (obviously). I don't lie to the landlord about anything - but SHE lies to everybody, about everything, and that is the root of all her problems. Until she is able to be honest (with herself and everyone else), she is going to suffer... but I'm not going down with her. My sympathy for her is over - at 40 years old she should be able to take care of herself. Get a job, get some therapy, whatever - but do SOMETHING! Enough is enough of this crap.

I love my new bunny slippers that I ordered through a catalog through the mail; I never realized, until I slipped my feet into these wonderful, comfy slippers, how pleasant it feels to come home after a long day of work and slip something nice on my feet. Nothing like a good pair of slippers to help you unwind and relax...

My roommate is really aggravating me. I feel like she listens to everything that I do in my room whenever I'm here. I cannot use my phone here, because we had a problem with that when I first moved in and I vowed it would never happen again. I am trying to just mind my own business here; I have my problems too, and I am not responsible for her problems. I can't believe it - a forty-year-old woman who cannot handle her own life. The only time she ever seems happy is when she is lying to someone about something, and she thinks that they believe her. She doesn't seem like a very good person to me; nobody likes being lied to. Then, when someone confronts her about her obvious dishonesty, she gets angry and STILL continues to lie. What kind of a person does that? And why should anybody tolerate it? I don't even want to speak to her... I can't believe what she tells me.

That's all for now... peace out .

Hi sorry for all your problems. Sounds like you are living in a war area, just waiting for the bomb to go off. Would you be able to cope financially if she left, would the landlord be understanding untill someone else took her place.

Hey Armine. You guys got the lion out east, but out on the prairies, we got the lamb. Finally our 8 days near -30C broke, and it's decent out. The next two weeks usually tell a lot. Man, your roommate sounds like a pain in the ***, and a liar to boot ... wow ... I personally can't handle when someone lies to my face, no wonder your pissed off. You have every right to treat her with as much disrespect as she is treating everybody else. That's up to you of course. Hope that gets resolved for you soon. Great writing :) ...
