moving pains!

my poor new neighbors. i was just screaming FUCK FUCK FUCK at the top of my lungs.
today sucks!!!
moving has proved to be a total nightmare. it's half way through my first month (although i've really only been living in the place 1 week) and i'm annoyed beyond belief.
first of all, verison sucks. i couldn't get my phone line to work forever. then, the dsl they promised me by today, just happened to be put off for another week!!!! i thought i was totally screwing over my clients without the internet but then the nice verison manager who i was yelling at, reminded me of a funny little thing called dial-up. oh yeah, that shit i used back in college to get online? jesus christ. it's actually not AS bad as i was expecting speed-wise, but it's really annoying when you get a phone call or the line just gets cut off for some unknown reason. ugh!

but i have been able to check email, update this here blog, and do some work. it's hot as fuck in here. i still don't have an air conditioner and there is NO ventilation in my office. i just feel like every step forward, there are about 2 steps back. like yesterday, i went to Ikea to get much needed stuff for this place. yes, it's been a week and i'm still eating with the same plastic spoon i've been using all week. alex and i rented a uhaul van to do the deed. it actually all went quite smoothly given i had to rent a car to go to ikea. set up a bunch of the stuff last night, hoping i'd have my office set up with the speedy dsl line. nope!

oh, and i'd also been waiting for a mail box key since i moved here. couldn't get to my bills or checks or netflix! today, FINALLY the guy came by and dropped off the key. when i went to check it, it didn't fucking work! what is up with these idiots?

and my building manager happens to be the biggest asshole that ever lived. he just seems like you're the last person in the world he wants to talk to when you call. and i'm paying him! fucking-a.

ok, that's enough venting for one day. i have to go take a cold shower now.
