Just Pass Me By

Don’t honk, don’t cut me off, just pass me by!

 

I hope the roof don’t cave in

People who live in apartments probably now what I am thinking. We have some neighbors about us, sometimes I hope that my roof does not cave in and land on me. Somedays it sounds like a herd of Elephants are above us, I think they may have a couple of cats but seriously I doubt that would answer for all the thumping up there. At least they are fairly quiet at night and I do not hear them to often in the wee hours of the mornings.
I wonder if one of there cats is about the size of Otis or something, or maybe bigger because I could see a large cat making a thumping noise. We live in a 2 story building and have 1 elevator, we have a parking garage in our building so maybe counting the basement it is 4 stories. Each apartment has a balcony which is nice, but sometimes I have to be careful when our on my balcony because there stuff dripping from the second floor, and we all know liquid dripping could easily be bodily floods form one of their pets.
Sometimes Condo living is nicer then apartment living because condos are side by side but honestly it not any better then living in an apartment building. I love my apartment building, because it a clean building, it is safe for the most also, but on the other hand you can’t just remodel things in your apartment or make it more accessible to you if you wanted.
A condo you can for the most, when I lived with my Grandma she was able to do what she wanted inside her condo but not outside. Her door was down stairs and to get to the living area you had to walk up these steep stairs which where thin, I have fallen down them a couple of times. As grandma got older, she needed to do certain things to her condo. Grandma fall down them stairs also, once and after that my uncles and Aunt decided to get her a stair lifts . It worked great for my grandma, she could seat down on a chair and be brought upstairs.
When grandma had her hip replacement surgery she moved into an retirement apartment. I am glad she is there now because there are more people her age, and she is near a community center where she can go out with other people who have some of the same interest as her while my uncle who lives with her goes to work. When grandma lived in the condo she had friends but they where all younger and had kids, and they where different type of friends, not always the type she could just be with that were like her, experiencing and facing the same thing. My grandma is a wonderful woman and is fall of life but it good for her to have friends who have some similar experiences.

Hurry Up and Wait

I hate sitting and waiting for people to contact me, and I think I am about to get impatient with it. On Friday I had a interview and they told me I should know possibly by Monday, so now I get to wait all day today to find out any news. I would almost prefer to be the last person interviewed because I think being last is better, when it requires waiting for find out news.
When I am in college I am much the same way after I turn in my papers I want to know what my grade is, and if it pass when the Professor says I should have my result then I get impatient. Right now I am doing the no job equals can’t pay for classes, or much of anything for that matter. I feel the interview went well, but they are interviewing other people and it possible they may find someone they like more then me. The company I interviewed with only goes through temp agencies, so this means that there may be a lot of candidates more qualified or better test takers then me.
So I will wait and see, I should know something by the end of tomorrow. It leaves me, wondering if I need to continue contacting my other temp agency and seeing if there work or if I need to simply wait and see what happens. It sounded like the company wanted people to start right away. It seems like most companies are hurry up and wait type of companies, hurry up and interview and then hurry up and wait for a few days.
I have been thinking about my Husband parents lately, and they are not well to do neither but they have some needs. One thing I would like to see them get is a walk in tub this would help them, get in and out of the tub and would be safer for them. Maybe once I get a permanent job I can put a little money away so I can help them get something like this. There neighbor has been great in doing some updating on the house, for mom and dad, but it be nice to get a better bathtub for them. We all know walk in tubs don’t have a huge step over point for their legs to move over.

Seems like More commercials

Lately I have been watching a lot of Tv, there are a couple of programs my husband and I really like. It nice having the Direct Tv DVDR. Last night one of our shows was on but because we had a dinner, we couldn’t watch it.
You know it seems lately that commercials are becoming longer, and some of them are so often played they actually are getting annoying. The Geiko commercials personally I don’t think they are very creative, and that little lizard thing is getting annoying, he was cute at first but got over used. Then their caveman commercial is simply just dumb. Some commercial leave you asking what was that all about.
Last night after our friends lift hubby wanted to watch some TV for a bit, and there was a commercial on that he wasn’t sure if it was for Tiger Woods painting with his golf clubs or the vehicle at the end of the commercial. Commercials have differently became unclear on most things.
One commercial I have always like is one of the auto insurance online, it comes off as a cartoon and it’s for auto insurance. The company changes their commercials from time to time, haven’t seen many of their commercials.
One thing I’d like to know is why local news channels feel the need to advertise during some shows, everyone knows there news is going to be on at 10pm or what ever time and if they want to watch their news it will be tuned in. I don’t always mind when they advertise special stories but why advertise their weather or other well known News reports.
