A few days ago I noticed someone had requested to chat with me in gmail. I didn't recognize the person's email address, so I ignored it.
So this morning when I got up and checked my email at 5am I decided to "approve" the request. It's a big internet world, so I thought maybe it was someone I knew and forgot about. Well, as soon as I approved it this person (a boy/man) opened up a chat box (at 5am!) and goes "Heyyyyyyyy xxxxx" except he addressed me as a name that isn't mine. I go "do I know you?" And he responds "I don't think so" and went on to blah, blah, blah about himself then asked me "Do you have a blog?" I said nothing and removed him from my gmail contacts.
Pardon if this seems petty, it just creeped me out and started my day off on the wrong foot. Who the hell approaches strangers for the first time using the wrong name via gmail chat at 5am??!! The internet can be so damn creepy.
Some creepy guy was staring at me in the elevator this morning. I walked in from the parking garage behind him, and when we hopped in the same elevator he stood with his back to the door and stared at me. I caught him staring at me and he didn't avert his eyes. Yikes.
One of my favorite coworkers is leaving and today is her last day. I'm super bummed.
Also I feel like trash. This week I've done a lot of eating out with friends, and I haven't exactly been eating the best stuff. I feel like I need to just eat vegetables and green tea for the next week.
My dog has been waking me up at 4AM the past few days to go out and pee, and I want to strangle her. Because I WATCH her pee right before bed so I know she's emptied out. She has diabetes, but her blood sugar is perfect lately. I think she's just being a brat.

That is so spooky!
Holy crap! I didn't see this the first time around. Must have had the thread open at the same time as you. That is fucking freaky.

Kelly, my dogs are PITAs about going to the bathroom super early, too. The beagle would stay in bed all day, but our lab thinks that 5 am is an acceptable time to get up, no matter what day of the week it is. So irritating.
My bitch? I am so busy with the new job and finalizing the house thing and grad school that I haven't had time for blogging or anything relaxing! Of course, the things keeping me busy are all good things, but I really would like to get back to blogging. I fear it may have to wait until January, though.
Yeah I haven't been forthcoming about this but I fired a client because they have become insufferable - and said goodbye to almost half my income. I believed I had a good cushion but I forgot to consider the payments for homeowners and earthquake insurance plus property taxes - all due about the same time. So while I'm kind of glad to get rid of the client stress, I've simply exchanged it for financial stress.
Still, I can appreciate that financial stress can go away by attracting new business, whereas the stress of working with very difficult and demanding people doesn't usually have an end in sight. So I'm still glad about it...just stressed.
And I was on an absolute shopping ban, until the end of the year other than holiday gifts, but I caved and spent $12 at a thrift store this week. So I also feel like I failed.
I have a rotten cold. My sinuses and ears are plugged and now it's moving to my chest. I was supposed to go shopping with friends today and can't. Boo!
Somebody hacked into my ITunes account and wiped out my credit of $43 dollars. He or she (although I think it was a he) bought all apps which I don't even have the software for on my ITouch. So I'm pretty sure I can convince ITunes it wasn't me, but now I have to change all my passwords since my email is listed on my account. Of course I didn't have my credit card connected to my ITunes account, but if he got into my email, he could easily get to any of the store websites that i do have my credit info saved on. I called my credit card and put a flag on the card, but it's such a hassle.
I listed a set of silverware to sell on craigslist. Someone emailed me about it & wanted me to call them back.
1) Why couldn't he ask his questions over email? I hate talking to strangers on the phone.
2) I called him back, he asked me about the silverware, then asked for my address (which I stupidly gave him, assuming he'd want to come look at the silverware) and then he goes, okay, well if I'm interested I'll call you. WTF? Now some stranger has my address & I'm super creeped out.
3) I'm an idiot!

Ugh that's creepy!
I am starting to find it distressing thinking about how many creepers there are out there... I have a super creepy neighbor who quite honestly scares me. He always walks around the block aimlessly, even though he has no purpose for doing it - he walks very slowly (so it's not exercise) and it's not like he has a dog to walk. He also came up & started talking to me once without any encouragement on my part - I didn't even say hi! He just started rambling on about his weekend - like I care?! Oh, and there was the time he came up to me & asked me if I wanted a half-eaten box of cream puffs! Yeah, like I really want your stale, god-knows-where-they've-been cream puffs that you could have easily tampered with. Creep!
