The OT Thread!! Post Here When You Feel The Need!

Expensive places indeed. Here too, technicians think they’re gods if they work for a big store. One wanted to charge me $150 BDS to install Windows 11. Then, I realized that the clerk eas in on the scam - one fan screaming, the wrong adapter for charging (as in wattage), and the battery was near dead and now it’s fully dead.

If I didn’t love mu HP Pavilion, I would swung it at both their heads. :enraged_face: Some day, the RAM ( :sob:) will be upgraded. The battery is otw, the fan misfiled, but I got the correct 150 W charger. They sold me a 60 Watt. Bought a 90 Watt by accident. Maybe I should sell thar one to them. It’s actually functional, new in box. :enraged_face:

What can I do for food if this keeps happening?

Second day in a row, water off and before 9 am this morning. I can’t cook.

The female here cooks a ton of food I can’t eat because of the hot seasoning. No room in the fridge because of how much she makes - can’t premake my own food.

No water, no bath, no way to clean up after chores or cooking. I don’t know what to do.

What is making the water shut off? Is this like a rooming board? Do you share the kitchen and bathroom? Can you use a hot plate etc.? Is there anyone in charge so you can talk it out and may be make some changes? I don’t know. I am just grasping at straws here….

The BWA waits tils a main rots before replacing any pipes. So instead of a patch, it’s a whole set of replacements. That’s what the news at the local mini mart says.

Water was off into 8 pm last night. It’s was brown, now it’s white, perhaps from chemical treatment. Not drinking it.

Don’t have any friends to spend the day with. The other two will sort themselves. My mother thinks I can spend the day with her and my chain smoking sibling - nope.

So likely, service will be turned off today again, Sunday and Monday. I heard too from the citizen news, that the workers get extra for working at night, so …

It gets worse.

It look me all day to find 2 empty salt meat buckets, cleaned by the supermarket, not free either. Social anxiety, no meds because I was major sick for 4 months last year and then December came. I went out and ask questions to strangers and bought the buckets home by myself.

I set aside one for me, white vody, white cover, distinct for others in the backyard.

The female moron here decided to catch dirty, slimy, brown water. She went out of her way to snatch up my nice new bucket, that U reserved just for bath water. She removed the cover. Walked it to the stand pipe and when U caught her, she emptied the wrong one out to give to me.

It’s such a nasty, low, petty, cunning, conniving, disgusting thing to do.
It’s the cruelty and selfishness that pisses me off. Four months and never once did she ever do one fck to help me. Now, something that took all my energy to acquire, ahe just takes and ruins.

The Good

Earlier, I got off the bus, juggling a bag with a cover and Glucerna, because I can’t cook. The other had the two buckets and the water truck was right there near the bus stop. A neighbor I don’t even know, picked up both full buckets of water and brought them right to the door step. I felt so blessed and relieved.

Conclusion

I hate this sh1t. She has no shame. Probably sleeping peacefully too. This isn’t the first time she’s done this kind of thing. She once cooked two Salmon fillets of mine, because I was too sick to eat. She didn’t offer me a flake, not a crumb.. She’s not worth giving even the brunt of my anger.

Plan

I don’t want to eat even less, but those supermarket bucket are hard to get. I will have to pay $12 to $15 each for 3 buckets, distinct. Sigh. I feel like crying.

Good news

Water was on the whole of yesterday.

Bad news

Pressure low today again. Low in the morning usually means off soon.

Rage

Lessened. Mind remains upset. Hands hurting from carrying stuff too heavy for me. I wish I lived alone.

Reading your story reminds me of a Thai girl I knew. She worked at a bookstore and lived on the floor above the bookstore. She really enjoyed having her own space above the bookstore and all the slow work and quiet hours working. I would visit sometimes and she would vent a lot of her frustrations. Hope things get better for you.

Thanks a bunch. Once I get the thyroid under control, I can do more stuff without being exhausted.

It’s not the first thing either of them has done, but I’m sick of all the fakery and lying. Living on my own is the only solution for peace and quiet.

SMH. The petty covetousness is getting me down and I’ve no way to leave yet. At least the water is back on and the rain is falling. Raindrops on a galvanized roof is relaxing.

I do enjoy the sound of rain on a metal roof. Took me a while to get used to how loud it was, but once I did, I rather enjoyed it.

@YQMaoski Hi, good to see you again! :waving_hand:

How’s the New Year going ? Things have been rough on my side.

Been going good, busy with work and life, but can’t complain about that. Can complain about all of the political and social tensions in recent months, unfortunately. I just turn off the news most of the time now.

I have been lurking more than I used to. Definitely felt the need to revisit this place from time to time. Still feels like home.

Hope you get through whatever this rough patch is soon!
