GRRRR

First... it has been a Grrrr kind of week. The last 7 days have spent their time tormenting me.
Some days have been giant fail:
8.5 inches of snow last Monday, and a nerve shredding 4 hr commute home from cranberry.
Arguments with a friend.
Sleep battles w the kid.
Plans to go out being canceled or falling thru last minute.
The insane calling in at work that makes my brain hurt.

Some days were really good:
Scoring my new area rug cheaply.
Hanging out, having a great time with @v_rock and having some beers.
The kid snuggled with me at night watching a movie.
Good meetings with my supervisor.

But the biggest thing to piss me off has been State farm. It was decided that it would be a better deal to have them for auto since the house had them for insurance there. That choice, which was not mine entirely... has done nothing but aggravate me to no end.

First off, their website is in the effing dark ages. You're lucky if you can figure out how much you owe. That is after you wait for them to ENABLE the ability to view it online. Can't pay, can't get quotes or make changes. Sad, sad, sad.

Last July some shit got messed up on the policy when we tried to add a vehicle. It was changed for one of their stupid reasons and then we were given a quote that was $30 a month off.
Yes. $30.
Somehow they sent a cancel notice to effing Penndot. After going rounds w them about the policy and then the cost... I was pretty pissed to get the "letter" from Penndot.
I called my idiot agents, who promised to fix it.
Now its time to register my car again. Guess what I can't do? Guess what I need? A fuckin letter from statefarm saying I have had insurance since August. Guess who did not fix this?
I can't find the Penndot letter now... all these months later. Guess who won't give me or Penndot a letter saying I have been PAYING them for my car car insurance with out the damn Penndot letter?
That's right... state effing farm.
So what if I have had car insurance all this time. So what if I'm paying them. They aren't gonna do SHIT for me to fix THEIR screw up with out PROOF that Penndot wants a letter.
Are you shitting me?
WHY THE FUCK ELSE WOULD I BE ASKING THEM TO FAX THE LETTER TO PENNDOT????
WHY?

What kind of "good neighbor" bullshit is this? It this the "good neighbor" who borrows shit, like tools or money, and never gives it back? It this the "good neighbor" who parties till 3am in the middle of week on a regular basis?
EFF this... "Good neighbor" my ass.

Now tomorrow... I have to find a way to get a copy of the letter that says Penndot needs a letter. So that my sf agent can fax Penndot a letter that says I have their damn insurance.
Yeah, wrap your brain around THAT.

Effers.

*sigh*

Well, we didn't win. It sucks.
At the same time...  I can tell you there were quite a few of my own friends who were sure that we would not even make the playoffs. So? I'll take it. Train wreck and all.
There will be tons of game break downs. I will skip that part.
Julia cheered like a little trooper all the way to the bitter end.
Twitter provided me with the most hilarious feed last night. Between the commercials, fail half time show, fail during the game, and the relative whom tried very hard to get smacked in the head with my beloved Droid.... Twitter saves.
I even had non-Twitter people laughing with some of the posts I quoted.
Thank you steelers.
Thank you Twitter.
LET'S GO PENS!!!

Why I loathe politics

Politics.
They anger me.
I rarely ever talk about them because they piss me off so badly.
I actually refuse to declare a party because both side piss me off to no end.
This was a tweet I saw today.
I just had to post.  (so much for cutting back on the F word.)
And if you ignore every other link I ever post, at least read this one. It was summed up best in one sentence.

@gwenix  "In short: Fertilized eggs are people; women are not." http://bit.ly/hDrGjf

A quote:

They want to "protect life" so much that they have written into the bill a new amendment that would override the requirement that emergency room doctors save every patient, regardless of status or ability to pay.  The law would carve out an exception for pregnant women; doctors and hospitals will be allowed to let pregnant women die if interventions to save them will kill the fetus.

I think my brain just fucking exploded because I DON'T GET IT.

First of all. IT IS 2011. WHY THE FUCK do women still have to fight to be considered PEOPLE??  If you want to get fucking ignorant, then men shouldn't be allowed to wack off because they are committing genocide every time. This is bullshit. 

WHY IS MY LIFE WORTH LESS IF I'M PREGNANT GAWD DAMN IT??? WHY? 

Another quote to sum up the legal bullshit:

But for good measure and just to make sure we all understood the deeply misogynistic underpinning of today's Republican party, the new language would allow hospitals to refuse to provide abortion care when necessary to save a woman’s life.

WHY would I have NO RIGHT to live? What the fuck kind of mothers did these lawmakers have that they want to kill us all anyway they can in the name of the unborn? Why Am I worth LESS?
I will say it right now, don't bother to argue with me. You will never win. Never.
I have just as much right to LIVE as a fucking man. Pregnant or not.

Here is a link to another asshole lawmaker who thinks rape is made up and us silly women should shut the fuck up and get in the kitchen.

rape victims arent victims according georgia

I bet if he actually KNEW a rape victim he would shut the hell up.
I loathe politics.

Letters to pgh drivers....

Dear People of Pittsburgh,

I do NOT want to spend 14 miles of my 27 mile commute getting my car assaulted with salt from the salt truck on 279/79. Do me a favor?

Pass the EFFING salt truck. Please. Pretty please?
Or get the hell out of my way so I can. I don't particularly care to have it slamming off car more than it already does on a regular damn basis. Really.

Love w bitchiness,
Me

P.s. thank you to the people who for the first time in 17 yrs now plow my moms dead end hill. Not having to walk that hill in the winter is wonderful. Also the disabled residence love you too.
