There's A Place You Can Go

There wasn't a whole lot of anything to write last week, so I skipped my usual "blah blah SSDD post."

THIS WEEK, however, I'm suddenly totally broke, in a period of unusual transformation, and I'm a girlfriend again.

Let's take it from the top:
-Roomie's birthday was not really an event of note. JB and her bf canceled last minute then uncanceled last-last minute, so Roomie was way more pumped at her presence and thoughtless gift [a Starbucks giftcard. Come on] than the fact that I scheduled my weekend around her dinner. Oh, well.
-The 16th-20th workweek was ridiculous. One of the kids decided it would be fun to start screaming for attention and the boss told us "Why don't you try ignoring him?" We thought we'd get a break on Friday when this particular child doesn't come to school, but instead we had to deal with the kid who only comes on Fridays screaming and crying all day.
-I've finally started switching my car stuff to my current residence from New Jersey. It kind of snuck up on me since I don't have frequent access to the internet and kept forgetting to look up the RMV information. It's been a bit more expensive than I hoped it would be. Right now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that getting my registration switched won't cost more than getting it renewed, because if it's more I might not have enough to buy gas to get to my cousin's house for Memorial Day.
-Speaking of not having any money to spare- my college friends are not to happy with me for being unable to go to graduation. They don't seem to understand the concept of not having enough money to do things you'd like to. Legally owning and operating a motor vehicle kind of takes priority over getting hammered.

Of course right as I'm trying to get a lift from writing about the fun weekend that The eM planned for me to help me forget that I was feeling like shit about missing graduation, my friends bring me back down.
I went over the box spring situation in my last post. I just got this text from one of the Dance seniors who lives in the apartment that goddamn boxspring has been in
Her: Heyyy are Roomie and Guy bringing the box spring? Gotta be out in 3 days!!
Me: I have no idea. I don't know what to tell you guys, I'm sorry
Her: Okay.. just saying you've had a YEAR to get it...maybe I'll put it in the basement
Her: And its really been a nuisance for us living with it in the pantry
Me: I'm aware of that. I can't get it w my car and like i said before, i've been asking Guy to help me out w his van since august and he hasn't
Her: Just a sorry is a lot better than excuses. Whatever its not a big deal i guess

And now the library internet is shitting out so I probably won't even be able to post this tonight. I had a ridiculous weekend [seriously. unbelievable] but now I'm pissed and upset and don't feel like I want to write about happy things anymore.
Great.

Hopefully by the time you get to approving all the comments you'll be in better spirits.

Don't let the boxspring thing get to you - you can only do so much (and you've tried) and she doesn't have to be a bitch about it. What else are you supposed to do? Tell her to throw it out in the trash, then you're both done with it.

i shoulda say "if sarcastic comments could move boxsprings, it woulda been out of your place a long time ago"
