Quit your whining!! j/k Cold??? Using a coat??? Dang girl, this is NOT cold! I haven't used a coat here this fall! You're too funny...
I wouldn't bother calling out hello either. Just go potty and let the people continue to hide!

And forget the damn leaves. Rake them up in the spring!

I'm funning you my dear. I just read your post and it just struck me as so funny.

I'm glad you got some good news about the wedding too! Yeah!!

Vent for the day. So here I am, pretty and fabulous as always; living in a multicultural city, yada yada yada. Last night, I take the bus from campus to go home and chillax. Seattle buses have bilingual signs that contain the "good behavior rules" for using transit. Goodie , Len thinks, being as is that the Latin American population is high (fabulous me included). So there I was standing, hanging tight because the driver was the reincarnation of Senna da Silva (I apologize if I misspelled) and I re-read the sign.... some chopf#ck had written down underneath the Spanish sign...


DO NOT SNEAKO INTOO AMERICA

I kid you not people, the idiot couldn't even spell either 'sneak' or 'into'. Man I was pissssed off . 'Funny enough', he posted his idiocy right underneath the "do not harass the driver or other passengers"... but I guess the meaning of harass was beneath his grade 3 spelling ability.
End of rant.

To be honest, I very rarely concern myself with the opinions of those who are intellectually less fortunate than myself. It's hard to be angry when you're laughing.

That is true friend. Just yesterday I asked a mod to delete a flaming post where I lost my cool and actually called "someone" on their mysoginy. Lowering my levels of discussion is just a no-no.
NOWWWWW.... the idiot in the bus still pissed me off.... but then again, chances are his/her career will never allow him/her to write for a living

Oh darn. I missed that post. Is it gone?

Yes. I asked the mods to delete them --- some VJ folks might have no class, but I'm not amongst them and I won't fall for their attacks.

I've lost count of how many times I've typed out a post and then just said - ahh forget it - and just hit the back button. Completely understand what you are saying.

damn that wasn't good spanish!!! lol My in laws WHOLE family speaks Spanish except for me!! They all worked down there one time or another. Wife was actually born in Chile. This yr for Xmas they bought me Rosetta Stone Spanish tutorial on CD.
This past semester at the hospital (I'm a RN student) I was working with this great Technician, she was awesome, but it seemed every time i went to assist her, she required help wiping someones butt. The next week I was prepared!! Got my wife to teach me some Spanish. My opening line to her went along the lines " Hello, how are you, I'm ready to wipe some a$$ today" She thought it was pretty funny!! Were hoping to move to South America for a few yrs when i finish school.

Beautiful thing... the ignore button.
For details on my Ignore list, call 1-800-VJJERKS

Carla

IIs it me? Is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Is it me? s it me?
Luvyah mah gurl.

You'll only know if she answers you.

Is there a full moon or something? The piranhas in OT are in a frenzy.

I know not something I needed for today. But hey! I did increase my ignore list with 3 more peepz- that's cool, eh?

Can you guys see me? LOL
(((((((((((((((((((((LEN)))))))))))))))))))))))

NO. I have you on IGNORE.

You do?
I'm heartbroken now.

STFU and stop whining you awful Kanoook. SO THERE

LMAO!!!!

Yeah I'm so horrible. I don't deserve to be here.

You were on ignore like 3 posts ago missy!!!

/ Ignore Len




No seriously, my Ignore list is empty, because no matter how much I can hate people sometimes, I still want to read what they have to say and I will just stop replying. They say it's better to keep your enemies close

a. you so DO NOT deserve to even exist.
b. you are so getting your azz whipped by my Lady Heather personna
c. I wuv yah.




LOL. I just got tired to have to read that cr@p sister. I can only take so much hate, and have even less tolerance for stupidity.... comes with the job of being a certified nerd

So, my infopass resulted in the following:

1) an argument with the officer telling me that I wasn't work authorized because I'd applied for AOS (which had nothing to do with the reason I was there)

2) her checking into the system and finding out that I'm not a Y1 or a K1, but a UU (I don't even know WTF that is, nor do I care)

3) her calling Philadelphia International Airport and confirming that I need to make a trip there so that one of the inspectors can remedy my status in the system

4) a very, very long nap.

...well, at least I don't have to go all the way back to Vancouver. *cries*

That's so ridiculous I laughed out loud.

Sorry to hear that Nini dear.

Oh Krikit, it was fantastic. Bee was standing there with a deer in headlights look watching the both of us slang back and forth.

"But you're a K1 and you can't work"
"I know that, and you know that"
"Then why are you here?!"
"Because your system says I'm a Y1!"
"What do you mean, you're a K1"
"I KNOW I'M A K1"
"Then why are you here?"
"Because your computer says I'm something else!"

We were both laughing at the end of it. At least those Infopass people have a sense of humor.

Aww Nini..I'm sorry...
People are so stupid sometimes!!!






Len, you stink
LUV YA!

You are in BIG trouble missy.... big big big trouble
And you stink more, so there

Okaaaaaaaay.

So Bee and I hit the PHL today - after wandering around Terminal A blindly for a few minutes, we found the information desk and managed to get directed to the CBP office. They summoned an officer down for me, he took my passport to his computer, we waited. Finally he came back and apologized for the "typo" (HA!) and said that I was good to go. Whee! Now it's time to tackle the SSA office again but I'm so glad that fiasco is over! We only lost a few hours of our lives dealing with this shite

While we were waiting in the CBP office, a mother and her middle-aged son came in to get an immigration stamp for their passports... turns out they'd been en route to JFK from the Caribbean and the dad had a stroke while landing, so the EMTs had to be called in

Good that you're no longer a WY-1 sister
Bad about the family with the medical emergency

Pfft, bring on this so called "big trouble"
MUAHAHA!

You missy have no respect for your elders... oh shite! did I just out myself as an elder??????????????? Believe me, it has nothing to do with wisdom, but with the idiocy I have accumulated in my 36 fabulous years.
And you still stink EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW

The only way I can make myself feel better about the hours, tears and frustration we have spent on this process is considering that it is an investment for the rest of our lives. If I couldn't justify it that way I'd probably lose it.

So just remember that, if you can.

That is a really articulate way of putting it, brad. I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time we deal with USCIS's follies

I'd rather stink than be OLD!
but you still smell anyway

Oh my god you guys, I have to vent again. My husband is driving me crazy right now!! He just got fired last night from his job. This is his second job in the last three months. I am trying not to be hard on him because he is going through some stuff right now but dam. He knows that right now especially he needs to keep his stuff together. I am working two jobs up here trying to save money and he is being an idiot. I hate this feeling of wanting and needing to be with him and help him and I can't. It's hard to deal with stuff when you're this far away, like I'm sure all you guys understand. Just a couple more months I keep telling myself but this stress is starting to get to me!!!!

Ahh, okay I feel a little better.

I'm not sure why the fire alarm in my building went off twice last night complete with wailing trucks and firemen and NO FIRE (no one pulled the alarm, it went off automatically), but it was not what we needed at 3am after hosting a party.

Touche. Now retreating to a corner.... to plot revenge

Expedia's site was apparently having issues when I booked my room for my interview in Montreal. Last night I went to double check on the itinerary, and it showed that it was not booked, after a month and a half of me thinking I had all the accomodations taken care of. I call my credit card company, and sure enough, it was never charged to my credit card.

I frantically get back online and book again with La Tour Centreville, since I know sometimes they book up pretty quickly. This time, when I go to check the itinerary, not only have I booked the new room, but the room that I had previously tried to reserve magically fixed itself and booked that one for me too. Now I had two rooms booked for the same night.

In a rage, I call Expedia and ask what the heck is going on. Some kind of computer error earlier had caused the issue, so they volunteer to cancel both rooms and refund my money. Sounds good, so I tell them to go ahead, and I'll re-book again. Directly after the lady on the phone clicks the "ok" button to cancel my rooms, she informs me that the refunds for both rooms won't be deposited back into my account for 5-7 days, which won't be until AFTER my interview. Now I've maxed out my credit card and still have no hotel.

I'm a very angry girl right now

Not that it will make you feel any better, Misty, but I had a similar experience back in 2001 with Expedia. What I learned from that is to go directly to the source and always warn people away from them. Booo Expedia.

Bring it on, I'm not scared.

<-----Me Expedia----->

Sorry about expedia!! One can always call up your credit card and ask them to increase ur maximum credit amount on the credit card. One can also ask them to decrease it.

I can't feckin' believe this.

RFE for an I-693 - which means that at the least, they want me to do a TB skin test, and at the most, a full medical exam because of that dumb POE officer mishap.

*facedesks repeatedly*
