wook77A couple of rants -
So we had an open house today to help sell the house. We paid 115 bucks for a huge ad in the paper, bought 10 bucks worht of balloons and then, bright and early this morning, put out the signs. Noon rolls around and we've got bubkiss. One rolls around and still no one. Two rolls around, yet again, no one. Three and no one. Four and we close up. As we're driving to get our signs, we notice that the sign that had been in our front yard with balloons attached, is gone.
Driving down the street to retrieve the other signs (there were 4 total with balloons attached to all), we notice that OUR signage and OUR balloons are pointing to SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE! Our realtor had an open house at a house one fucking street up from us and they used our signs to point to it! Worst part was that our ad said "follow the help-u-sell signs to the house and omg, so enraged I was ready to cry. We just paid over 125 bucks for SOMEONE ELSE'S OPEN HOUSE!!!!
I'm still borderline tears over this because it's so sneaky and underhanded. I thought our realtors were incompetent but I didn't think they were at this level of low. I mean, it's not like we didn't do our bits to do the open house and stuff. Help-U-Sell is all about the seller doing most of the work which we did. Then, to actually go out and take all this shit from us for someone else when they should be doing their own goddamn work?! I'm actually tearing up just typing this because it was just such a betrayal.
So, their contract expires in a little less than a month and we've already found another realtor who works for the number 2 realty company in Tucson. They're reasonable and good friends with the guy that's helping us to build our house. Hopefully, he's fairly dynamic and will get this place sold without pulling these sorts of tricks.
First, to all the new people on my flist, I work at a humane society so that's where this is coming from.
Work's been low on kitten food for like 2 years. We have to constantly be buying it when we used to be able to rely on donations of canned wet kitten food. Now we have a sudden influx of wet food for all sorts of animals. The problem is - it's all the infected food. What kind of motherfucking asshat moron dickwads think it's A-FUCKING-OK to donate that sort of shit and expect the tax write-off? SERIOUSLY!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Then, the "donors" get really pissy when we won't accept the donation. Um, hello, we happen to love our animals - even if they aren't our "family" pets - just as much as we love our family pets. We're not going to feed them tainted food, you fucktards. Don't get mad at us and cause a scene when we turn your shit down, assholes.
Add to it that it looks like deaths are higher than reported and these people are even bigger dickheads.
About two months ago, we had a rash of cats and kittens die/have to be euthanized from kidney failure. Now we're wondering if it wasn't some sort of communicable disease like we thought it was and if it was this tainted food.
Then here's my personal rant about this as well - why is Eukanuba double what Authority (Petsmart's generic brand for those that don't know) is when it comes to price if they're produced at the same facility using the same products? That's complete and utter bullshit.
I wondered why my dog didn't really show a difference when I switched him off the Eukanuba to Authority 6 years ago and now I know why. They're the same fucking thing. I'm glad that I've been saving about 20 bucks a bag every couple of months instead of getting taken like that.
Maybe it's time that we start watching what happens to animal food, especially after the Mad Cow Disease shit that went down semi-recently. Then again, the rationale is who gives a fuck, they're just animals.
Yeah, we had someoen say that to us when we denied a donation of tainted shit. Only they said "who gives a fuck, it's not like anyone cares what happens to the animals anyway." Fuck. You.
So obviously my weekend was shit. In fact, whole week was shit. That promotion I've been hoping for? Yeah, don't think that'll be happening ever. But, instead of continuing on with listing out all the bullshit going on, how about some happy?

tbdnewsletter is a new newsletter for The Black Donnellys. I'm really honored to be the Thursday editor! This is going to be loads of fun!
kotor_holo is going strong with loads of KOTOR stuffs for the perusal. Oh, that reminds me that I have stuff to post but I'll make sure not to do it on a Tuesday so I don't worry about pimping myself.
slashfest opens for requests this coming weekend! YAYES!!! You all have thought of requests, right? Remember, any fandom, any pairing as long as it is slash! (and ok, no multiple requests for the same pairing) We're carrying over 297 requests from last round but that's ok because we have loads of talented people and there shall be such brilliant requests that no one will be able to resist them.
slash_friday has a new prompt and it's really really hot if I do say so myself. Possibly NSFW! You have until Friday to write something for it so go write! *shoos people*
I got my dogs groomed and will be posting photos of all of them coming up soon. I know you all are just squeeful for the doggie photos.
I've finished myspringtime_gen and my hpslashnotsmut assignments and sent both of them in. I was late (with the mods' blessings so with the extension, I was on time) and early for the former and the latter. Now, I just need to finish my bohemeth of a serpentinelion fic. It's looking fairly good so far but I'm having to watch to make sure it doesn't veer into crack while I'm not looking. It should be posted by the 1st as that's when it's due. I'm shooting for posting on Thursday or Saturday. (Not Friday because see above comment about pimping myself)
I have 5, count them, 5 stories at the almost done stage. I have no deadlines except the ones I choose after I finish myserpentinelion fic. Well, ok, I probably won't be able to resist a couple of the slashfest requests that are sure to be made.
Now that I've recounted my happy - give me yours! What have I missed?

Date: 2007-03-27 03:27 am (UTC)We're breaking the contract tomorrow so then we'll be signing with a new realtor, getting a new listing and this guy has the number five sales in Tucson so I'm thinking he's a good guy :) *hopes*
Yeah, I like to think that people are thinking tax refund and not thinking murder. But, I doubt that's actually true.
