This weekend has been really strange, a bad vibe going around and some serious aggro happening. I know why this is the case. It all started Friday around 5pm when all I did was email off a simple question and it started a barrage of bullying and arguments from the directors of the company. One simple little question and I was made to feel as though I had just asked "why is the sky blue?" Obviously I am so think that they needed to explain to me in child like language why we weren't going to send out a letter advising that we were intending to increase our prices, I thought it was just common courtesy to do so. How silly of me.
From that it also spiralled into a session of virtual mutual masturbation about how good they all are, how much smarter they are than Company X and how we shit all over them blah blah blah blah blah - this is when I start to revert to the "Whateva" and "Am I Bovvered" attitude which probably isn't the best way to be, but I was starting to feel sick with all the wanking going on.
Having feeling totally shitted off about this, I went home. Only to find that my husband had a meeting with his boss about pay rise, promotion etc. The outcome ... ... ... if you work over 100 hours by doing this and this and that a week we may think about giving you a pay rise, but you have to prove yourself. As you can imagine, he was not a happy bunny about this, as he already works 70 odd hours a week working his guts out and for what? This meant that Friday night we were not happy at all, so we had a couple of drinks and tootled off to Homebase (home and hardware store in the UK) to buy a few things and see if our order had been collected from another store. Guess what? It hadn't the manger forgot about it and has to go pick up this week - right it isn't like we are working to a tight fucking schedule here (my parents are coming to visit us - they arrive on the 10th of September we still have no sofa bed, no dining table - that is another story it has been on order for a month now).
So we thought, Fuck It! let's meet up with some mates and have a few - didn't really work because we were still bloody stressed and pissed off to enjoy ourselves - damn my brain never shutting off bastard of thing.
Saturday, we worked like crazy people ( I can say that as I am officially crazy) on the hallway, paining the skirting boards with the first coat and generally working our arses off all day to get the place looking decent. Amongst all this, there were arguments going on like you can't believe. The G-man and I were picking on each other for bloody well every little thing - was not a fun experience. The only laugh we had was when we stopped to watch The X-Factor.
Sunday got up nice and early, The G-man went off to work and I started work again on the place and general domestic stuff. It was nice, I was singing my lungs out (take that you little shit brat upstairs who thinks you can sing like Whitney at 3am in the morning) I know I can't sing but I just don't give a shit anymore little fucking brat.
The G-man gets back from work at about 2ish we decide to put the new curtain rods up in the lounge room, again arguments ensued and we were yelling and shouting at each other like a couple of banshees. After putting one curtain rod up, we were took fucked off to do anything else so we thought we would watch The Matrix: Reloaded - to chill out a bit. During the movie I got a bit peckish as you do, I thought shall I open those Maltesers or maybe I should have a bowl of muesli instead it is healthier. Went for the healthy option, and then after one mouthful CRACK! What the Fuck ! I cracked my back molar in fucking two didn't I. Oooooh yeah that's right take the fucking healthy option and that is what you get for your troubles stupid bitch bastard fucker bitch and more expletives. I should of just gone with the Maltesers, oh cruel irony!
So there I am panicking like a mother fucker, crying, in pain and stressed because the nearest dentist is fucking 2.5 hours away. Oh yeah, that's right you heard me, the local dentist in our area isn't taking new patients, even for emergencies - you son of a bitch.
I calmed down after a few stiff drinks and some ibuprofen, thought this is ok. I will call the dentist Monday and sort something out, it's ok. Went to sleep at about 10pm a reasonable hour I think considering we had to get up at 6:45am the next morning and then from 11pm onwards that little shit head upstairs was making noise all night / morning. I was so pissed off I was even imagining her being run over by a bus, is that a bad thing? I don't understand all day they are quiet as mice, on the weekend nothing not a peep and then during the week she decides to do the fucking vacuuming at 12pm, sing her lungs out, and make a fucking noise until her boyfriend comes home and then they sit up and talk until 6am and then I fall asleep and 20 seconds later the alarm goes off.
So as you can imagine I am in a really brilliant mood today, I mean really great mood. Tonight when I get home from work I plan to have a little chat with her, and if that doesn't work then I will call their landlord. I don't want to sound like a complaining old neighbour, I mean I don't care if she sings her lungs out during the day, runs about and whatever, but for fucks sake when it comes to normal sleeping time give me a break. Maybe I am being too harsh what do you think?

I bet you feel better for venting all of that now, don't you?
I hate weekends like that. You're almost glad to see Monday roll around.
I'm hoping this week isn't anywhere near as stressful, and next weekend is much better.
Phishez - yeah I do feel a bit better. I was so upset on Sunday I just lost it and broke down. I haven't been like that in such a long time, but I just feel as though everything is getting on top of me lately.
Nah, don't talk to the landlord. If she tells you to piss off, just fill her letterbox with sauce. That's always my fallback position for neighbours from hell. A catering pack will fill the average letterbox.
Ouch about the tooth, though! You poor thing! Seen the dentist yet?
Gosh, I think even I feel better after that rant!
Bad neighbours are the worst. I've been kept up nights from barking dogs before. Don't think I imagined the bus but I possibly considered a good thump to the head.
How's your tooth now?
So how's the tooth? Did you make it to the dentist?
Redcap - that sounds like a brilliant idea. I have now resorted to be really really noisy at 7 in the morning when we are getting ready to go to work. I love it because I can hear them getting up and obviously getting pissed off AND yesterday I was off to go the dentist and I did the vacuuming at 10am and sang really loud eheheheehehe.
Eleanor Bloom - barking dogs suck the big one seriously.
TOOTH UPDATE - had to go to Glasgow (a 2.5 hour drive) to go the dentist. She fixed it all up for me, but bloody hell my jaw really hurts now!!
Teeth are over-rated as far as I'm concerned, so consider it an evolutionary step; you're one less tooth away from living on liquids just like an astronaut!
Regarding your neighbour, I'm with RedCap, it's either got to be sauce in the letter box or stealing their bills. Ruin their credit rating - that's a fair trade for a good night's sleep ;)
Yeah! Tell it sista! I'm in the same type of mood, so I love sharing the misery.
I do hope you feel better now though.
hungry hungry hypocrite - oooooh I am evolving to another level, sound. I will keep that in mind when all my teeth fall out. Then I will just look like the majority of people where I live.
Steph - Welcome back ! hope your feeling better mate. Gotta have a rant now and then, it's the only way to relieve the tension.
Toothy if feeling much better thanks !
