Update since the last one

August 16th, 2008 at 05:10 am

It has been a while since i last updated here goes:

The new neighbor has two weiner dogs that bark incessantly when she is not home. I have called the city on her twice (and will do more if she does not do something). She moved into the neighborhood in May and told neighbors that if they don’t like the barking they can move. Some of these people bought new thirty years ago and she treats them like this? She even told me in a letter if I don’t like dogs to move someplace without animals. I love dogs but it is irresponsible, inconsiderate and rude neighbors I don’t like. This has got to stop, anyone know about suing neighbors who won’t keep their dogs in line? The neighborhood association won’t do anything they just say, call the city. If this happens again tomorrow I am going to report them as abandoned because I have not seen her at the house in almost a week. Help if you have an advice about the dogs.

I interviewed for a good job at the agency I want to move to. Not sure if I will get it but my former supervisor was on the panel and he is listed as one of y recommendations. There might be politics at play with internal candidates or something. I hope to hear Monday. The job I really want has come open under him but there is no job posting yet that I can apply to. It would be funny but my whole section from my office has moved to this new agency and works together over there. It would be nice to get back together with them.

Money is ok. I have been spending more than I should but I know I have it and am not adding to debt. I needed to upgrade the ram in my computer as I have vista and it took 5 minutes to turn on and off and forever to do anything. I upgraded to 4 gig and the computer is working marvelously. The best part, I installed it myself. Am so proud of me! Anyone know if I can sell the 2 512 pieces I have and how much they would be worth? Monkey mama, does your husband need any?

Mom had an emergency episode on Wednesday and ended up in the ER. She is home now and resting. They think she had a gall bladder attack but she has no gall bladder (removed 30 years ago) and other tests came back with elevated enzyme levels. More testing next week to determine what is going on. It was scary to get that 330 am phone call and I made it from my house to the hospital in 48 minutes. She lives 40 miles from me. I did not speed much but if I had gotten pulled over, I would have fought it. At 330 am there was no traffic and I think the officers were on lunch breaks.
I think my boss is leaving. Of course based on our relationship I would be the last to hear. I won’t miss him but I am desperate to leave as well, so I am more jealous than anything.

Niece is engaged. Will have 18 month engagement and they have been together for more than 4 years. She is 21 he is 22 and they make a very good couple I just think they are both to young and she is very immature for her age. She works a dead end job and he wants to go to the law enforcement academy next June when he graduates from college. Something else to save for.

I am looking around for a part time job I can take up for the weekends. I live near a mall and I think having a part time job will help me to reach a goal I have by my 35th birthday next July. Am looking around and will start applying all around tomorrow.

    Sorry I don't have any advice really about the dogs, but I can sympathize. I live in a pretty nice little old neighborhood but the last few years I've seen it changing for the worse. Anyways lately there have been a number of dogs barking all the time. I want to enjoy my backyard in relative peace but the dogs bark even more if they hear me outside. I've called the police
    on one neighbor several times. It didn't help much but they eventually moved.

    Your neighbor could be ignorant about how to train a dog to not bark, or to stop barking when told to. I know I was a dog owner years ago and did not even realize it was possible. (Fortunately my dog was not a barker and I was always home anyway.) Only after some internet exposure did I learn that there are things one can do about barking problems. Maybe you could go on the internet and find lots of tips and techniques about stopping barking, and print them out to give to the neighbor. I understand she is being rude about it, but maybe she is lashing out because she doesn't think it is possible to stop her dogs from barking, particularly when she's not home.

    My house mate passed along a great book about barking dogs and how to stop them. She returned it to me (addressed to me at least) with lots of nasty comments and ightlighted section saying she is doing this or that. But the best part, she told me to move (from my home of 2.5 years) if i don't like animals and find a new place to live. she is rude to everyone.

    I am sure it is because she is getting flack from the whole neighborhood. everyone here hates her and the dogs. it is sad because it is not the dogs fault but hers. it is just frustrating.

    Is there a Doggy Day Care in your area that you could locate for her? Or maybe there is an older person/couple or someone else who's home all day in the 'hood who could dogsit at their house during the day in exchange for a few bucks or something else the lady could barter with???

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. I love doxies and I hate that they are being left alone. They love being with people so much.
