PC'S vent...

GRRRRR!! I'm getting so frustrated with my neighbors!! I've been here for three effin years, and they've been here for 5 months...this is the 4th time that my a.c. has gone out during the summer, called housing YESTERDAY at 3PM for them to come out and do something about it, we haven't heard from them since. My thermostat is at 70 but the marker is past 90, it doesn't even feel like the temp its set at. But housing won't come effin fix it. My neighbors told me "maybe if you're nicer to them, they'll help you". No I won't be effin nice, it took them a damn year to come "fix" my dishwasher in which they came and replaced it but it took them an additional 2 days, the last few times I had to have them come fix my a.c. it took them 3 days to come "fix" in which they flipped a switch in the box, and called it a day, the next time they told me to keep it at 75 during the summer and winter. I'm not going to be nice to people who aren't nice to me when they're in my house, It took them 8 hours for them to come replace my fridge, where I had to throw almost everything away, because it went bad, everything melted! I will be sooooooooooooo thrilled to move....I'm an unhappy Princess...I can't find Ojamajo Doremi episode 25 in japanese on youtube....the person who uploaded them violated the terms of use, so her account was suspended, so I don't have my ojamjo doremi to watch...

I don't know who's more self absorbed and conceited my old friends who can't spare any time or any part of their day for one phone call or text from me, but expect me to free up a day for their problems. Or my new friends, who believe they're complete know it alls about everything where they've only been living her for 3-6 months when i've been here since 2007!!! Or my fave, I ask them to watch my dog while the hubby and I go on vacation, they say no problem, but as we're getting closer to our vacation time, suddenly they have absolute no interest in watching my dog, but have no problem watching their friend's dog. They don't want to take care of a "sickly" dog like mine, my dog has allergies!!! their dog is recovering from distemper!! who's the "sickly" one now!!! Sry...felt the need to rant, seeing how i can't rant on facebook....

I feel like I can't post squat on facebook without anyone complaining on whatever I post, someone called me a bitch because I bitch too much about housing. That I should laugh at life's little problems...so you're tellng me that I should laugh that its past 90 degs in my house and someone won't come fix it..that makes a whole lot of sense...its frustrating my new neighbors make it seem like they're absolute know it alls on everything, and its annoying the hell out of me, i cant post anything without any of them telling me how wrong i am or something...september isn't too far away now...

I know how you feel. I have the same problem sometimes on Facebook with some family members and I have to be careful in what I put down for my MSN status line or my brother will get cranky too.

Its ridiculous that I feel like I can't express my feelings on a fb status without someone flipping out about it. I asked my neighbor yesterday if we could borrow $5 or some gas for Luke's car because it ran out of gas on base, and she told me that she didn't have either. But somehow or another she had money the day before to buy her dog a harness, starbucks the day of, and have a big bbq with her friends complete with steak, chicken, corn, baked potatoes, sausage, the works!! But she couldn't spare $5 for gas, when Luke ran out of gas on base. She then later told her friend Kari, about me asking for money and Kari wrote a "so not obvious" status directed towards us stating: "Not quite sure how some people can be broke all of the time. Some things are necessities and you need to plan for those necessities." (I dont know if she ever had a moment where she had to pay for something right then and there, when it wasn't in the budget because she wasn't aware of the price)

She also tried to tell me that her and her husband were in the same boat as we are now, 2 months ago. And that miraculously her husband was promoted twice in 2 months which is absolutely impossible. There's no way in hell that can be possible.

I said that we don't make very much we don't get a housing allowance, and we only make $2000 a month(umm...we're still an e-4, bottom of the totem pole) , in which we have car insurance, car loan payment, groceries, pet stuff, washer/dryer payment, couch payment, military star card payment (military card), phone bill (landline) gas, and extra money for gas and haircuts for luke, in which he has to get his haircut once a wk. We don't have internet, no cable, no fancy things, cuz we can't afford it. Her husband is two ranks above us and she tried to tell us that they were in the same boat 2 months ago, and that they just recently got promoted, and somehow or another her husband got promoted twice in 2 months, which is damn near impossible. They have a fancy ass house, they get paid $2400 as base pay plus an additional $1300-$1600 in housing allowance. She said that she has 2 cars, a kid, 2 dogs, student loans and they still have money...well I wonder why? She has a separate couch in her bedroom for her DOG!!

One of her friends was asking me if I had kids, and if I didn't there shouldn't be any reason I should be living in base housing. We don't have the $500 to move out of base housing, we didn't have it when we first got married, and we're pretty sure we don't have it on hand right now either. Kari's friend Adrianne told me this:

"Also if you dont hyave kids there is NO REASON in the world you cant owrk and make money its just plain lazyness. Even if you go to school full time you can still work MILLIONS of kids out there work and go to school. So if you donthave kids and dont work ifs your own fault you dont have money. (speaking in general to everyone since i dont know who... this is directed at) And if you do have kids then there are things you can do to make money while at home even if your going to school. My friend has 2 kids and goes to school and babysits to make extra money and another friend had 2 kids babysits in the morning and watresses at night all while going to school. (thats a little hectic) but theres no reason to have some sort of jobbie job."

Yeah see...Luke needs his car for work because he works at the courthouse so he's always on the move, it would be pretty inconvienient if I had the car the entire time...and a lot of the jobs out here require degrees in which I'm working on it right now. But there was NOTHING near our house EVER. Some military wives are just so freakin' retarded, they hold themselves better over everyone else, if we're not like them then something is wrong apparently. In some ways I can't wait to get out of the military, then my issues will be school related and work related, I won't have to complain or bitch about everything. People like them piss me off....

I know... it's annoying. You try to make a difference and people bitch and when you don't do anything people bitch... can't anyone ever give us a break?
