Catching up! :)

Wow, its been a while since my last post - sorry!

Hmm.. lets see.. I need to fill you in on the job, the psycho lady,  my car, and my near death experience on my recent trip to Maui!

Starting off with the job.. first, I'd like to say I'm grateful that I have a job.  Unfortunately though, not all is well on the job front.  I'm having a hard time adjusting to the archaic office supplies/computers/programs. There are 9 computers in our office (for the 9 total employees) and yet everyone is running a different system with different versions of software which creates issues when sharing documents.  I don't understand why we don't have Adobe Standard - the reader is limited in so many ways.. oh well. I inform them of the benefits, whether they choose to upgrade and make their systems more efficient is up to them.

So.. psycho lady.. yeah.. I've had an ad posted on Craigslist for Nina's room now that she's in Maui and highly unlikely to return.  Its a great apartment so I've had a lot of interest, though due to lack of dedicated parking, its still available.  2 weeks ago I got a call from someone in California, they were headed to Honolulu and liked the description of the apartment. Great, but I couldn't hold it for someone I haven't even met, right? So I told her to contact me upon reaching Honolulu, if still avail I'd be happy to show her the place. Reasonable, right?  A few days later I get a text asking if the room was still avail, I say yes so she asks for pics of the living room/kitchen/bedroom. That's normal so I take the pics and send them off.  A few days pass and I notice she's added me on facebook. She calls me to see if the room is still avail, I say yes and ask about the FB add. She says that she wanted to get to know me and me to get to know her.  Hmmm.. ok, a bit much, but ok.  A few days later I hear from her again. Yes, I tell her, the room is still avail.  She says she lands in Honolulu on Sunday the 25th. Great. We make an appt for her to see the place at 5.  Friday the 23rd I get a call from her asking about the internet setup. I told her I have my own and she'll have to get her own. She said that wouldn't fly. She has a modem for us both to use. She'll set it up and we'll split the cost.  She made up her mind that, that is what we'll do. I didn't bother to dispute the assumption because there's no point to discuss unless she ends up wanting the apartment. Anyhow.. now I'm starting to get a weird vibe. Im thinking this ladyisn't exactly normal, i asked my coast guard friend to be present when she comes because I didn't think it would be safe. Then I thought if I'm already worried - I shouldn't even bother having her over so I sent her a text on Saturday morn to let her know that someone had come that morning and liked the place and they loved it and will be signing the lease soon.  Thanked her for her interest and apologized about any inconvenience. She started replying with abuses left and right. I expected her to be upset right away, but she kept it up all day long. I was actually a bit afraid - this lady knew where I lived! Yikes!

Anyhow... luckily I havent heard from her since.  Next topic.. my car. I absolutely love it. I have 405 miles on it now. :)  However, I had a mini heart attack when I filled up the tank - $72 for a tank! Yikes!

Near death experience. Well... this blog entry is already long. Just watch this video. :)
