8223 - Saturday, on call.

[scottobear]

RS dropped from full-time at the office to working part time from home. I think that'll work out much better for her.

For about 17 cents a minute, SpoofCard lets you send any numeric string as your Caller ID code. It comes with optional voice modification. And you don’t need a computer to use the service.

Joan (the building governor) called me up yesterday, and told me that she needed the key to my condo, "in case of emergencies". How did she find out that her old key didn't work? She went up to my place with the super to repair the oprch screens, and got upset that she couldn't get in.

First of all, I had the screens repaired before I had even moved in, and I documented that to her in no uncertain terms... in December.

Second, there was no notice that she'd be going into my home. It surely wasn't an emergency.

Third, She couldn't be bothered to *telephone* before trying to get into my place.

Fourth, Newt's in there... and she doesn't have the reaction time to stop him if he decided to bolt.

Needless to say, I got a little hot with her on the phone. I told her that she is under *no* circumstances to enter my place without my permission or presence. She won't be getting a key anytime soon now. I'm glad I found out before relying on her

Her excuse was "well, I rang your doorbell, and nobody answered, so I figured I'd come in and take care of it"

um, no. What if I was having a shower or sleeping soundly? If I came out of there / work and spotted her in my apartment, I would very likely have tossed her happy ass in jail... or vibrated her carcass into its component atoms by screaming at her at the top of my pongid lungs.

Moment of lyric (mp3)

here we are still together
we are one
so much time wasted
playing games with love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain inside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over
so many years we've tried
to keep our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

how many times
did we give up
but we always worked things out
and all my doubts and fear
kept me wondering
if i'd always be in love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain inside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

so many tears i've cried
so much pain inside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

Landlords and the like tend to have that annoying attitude in my experience. When people don't know the legal rights they get walked over.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I got especially angry since I own this place... she didn't have a bit of right to try to enter my home, especially considering the situation's non-emergency status. I think she was taken a bit aback, because I fairly laid into her. (before this, I think she saw me as a bit of a pushover.)

I just had my first ever cam sighting of Newt!!! I always forget you have a cam for him. Funny thing is---he's doing the same thing as Pye---looking out the sliding glass window (at birds?).

Yay Newt!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

There are a few ibis just outside of the field of view. Newt wants to play with 'em!

Yay Newt-looker! Give Pye a smooch for me!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I would give Pye a smooch--but currently I'm lying on my stomach doing research on the laptop and he's got me pinned down by lounging on my lower back---as soon as I can get up I'll give him a kiss :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Sounds fair to me!

Hooray for little fuzzy lumbar warmers!

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Yep--I dunno how Pye can both position himself so that he can see the migratory ducks outside AND still maintain Mommy contact--kid's got talent!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Let's throw a third variable in there, and see how he does! :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

That would be me trying to reach for my reading glasses and lip balm--to which he responds by getting indignant at my gall. I mean why would I want to move or get things done whne there's sun to lie in?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

you have to admit.. he's got a point. :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

now they're doing it together :D

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

And chasing each other around the house in the morning and being loved by two wonderful parents instead of one. I think it turned out wonderful for everyone. *kiss*

Thanks for the new word.

Spoof card is interesting but you know this is primarily a tool to screw people with. I can call your boss at 3am and curse him out and his call waiting will show your number... I expect to see this in some Veronica Mars application of this in an episode at some point though.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure spoofcard exists mostly for purposes of evil. I figure the company will keep records and the like, should it be used too abusively. Great way to collect some blackmail resources! the messages are all automatically recorded!

I love the word pongid. (which I almost always typo as pongoid - sort of a gorilla with down's syndrome, I guess!)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I did buy the place.

Any she has *no* right to enter, at all, unless it's an emergency like fire or an exploded water tank leaking.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

she got a boot in the patoot verbally!

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

pongid...love that new word.
Good for you for standing up to her...she didn't have a right.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

glad to share the monkey word o the day!

I don't imagine that she's my biggest fan about now, but tough noogies on her.

[ilenebook.livejournal.com]

If she is that dumb or disrespectful to you..you don't need her as a fan anyway.
No Newt on the cam now.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

nope! Newt's sleeping on the futon right now... I wore him out a little while ago by taking turns chasing/being chased around the house.
