Eresh's Haven

My fiance breaks me to the point of tears.. and there's not many places i can type/let this out.. so im saying it here.. where virtually no one knows about it..

Things he does are not intended to hurt me.. but it does. Alot.

He was working for Ikon for about 9 months, which offered, a chance to move up the ladder.. get better pay, and provide health insurance for both of us... But he wasnt happy... He dropped 90% of his computer customers when he started working there...

about 9 months down the road... his friend comes to him and says that his job will be opening at a local computer store... since he got a great job with SBC, installing and managing video feeds and dvr systems for the entirety of South Texas, "Stripes" stores....

Our friend told the manager of the store that my fiance is great with A/V and such, and is very knowledgable when it comes to computer stuff and cableing period.. which he is.. he used to do Contract work with Timewarner... and owned his own Computer business... Now, two weeks after being told that he was already on the shedule for the store.. they wont call him, let him talk to the manager.. or tell him anything, it's been two weeks he's had no income and no one seems to find this a problem... we call everyday to talk to the manager.. and first it started as "he's on vacation" to "he's sick" to "he's not here right now" if my fiance was on the shedule before, and that's the supposed problem.. "the guy who makes the shedule isnt here.. " why isnt he working?

I told my fiance.. "you are leaving a good job, with many benefits to work in retail... i will support you no matter what you want.. but i want you to have a job lined up and ready to start before you quit..."

i need to see a doctor.. we've been building a 10x14 foot building outside in our yard for his office.. and i tore a muscle in my shoulder.. it hurts to type, move, lift, clean, draw, sleep.. lift my arm means alot of pain.. and such

bleh...

Well, Neurologist says im going to start on Neurontin, which is used for elderly suffering from pain from shingles and ease and control seizures, both of which i dont have heh... I suffer from Microfiber neuropathy, or so 1 doctor says, one says it's full blown neuropathy, but i cant get a clear deffinition of my problems, my legs itch when i lay down and get up in the morning, and my back and legs hurt all the time, i can only eat about 6 bites of food before im full to the point of sickness, and i get horribly tired when i just stand up, i've already gone through the renal failure, so i am not too worried, but i am prepping myself for my turn into diabetes and loss of my legs.. which wont really upset me that much, but it will be a hard blow to my fiance, which, is understandable.. but i rather have time to prep than to wake up in a hospital after a car wreck and be injured horribly...

note, Pringles Loaded Baked Potato is GREAT

Ok, so yesterday almost hit 103, and i was not going to wear a damn sweater...

So i picked out my nice comfy camo capri's and my black tank top, and got dressed, because we had to go give a friend a ride somewhere. I was comfy, it was fricken hot.. and we were off... We picked her up, got on our way, went where we needed to go. and then made our way to a Military Surplus sale on a street corner. About halfway through looking, some guys in a truck pull upto the turning lane, yell, and honk at us... so my fiancee being all "omnipotent" said "Do something, they're honking at you". Now, i was raised, when someone does something like that, DONT LET THEM KNOW YOU CAN TELL.. or it will just feed into the "She's looking over here, lets add on to it.." so i ignored it and turned around casually.. and later on, while eating some lunch at a small diner.. he started complaining about how i didnt do anything when they did that. SO.. later, we go to the store, and on the way out. He says to me "Honey, lift your shirt for me so i can watch your ass" and right as he says that, about 6 guys start hooting and whistling at me... and that just furthered it... and finally, that night, he decided to ask one of our friends "Do you think she'd make a good stripper? I mean, would she make good money?" i have NEVER expressed intrest in being a stripper, im too faithful for it.

Today, he decides to get pissy when i put another tank top on cause wonder of wonders, it's hot again... and he's complaining that "I dont care what you wear, FOR ME.. But in public.. cover up" and i complained about how he's constantly acting like i should be proud of myself, and not worry about it, but now, he's gotten pissy... and treating me like it's my fault some guys are assholes... And he had the balls to say "You know what, i dont care, i dont care how you dress, what you wear, Become a stripper for all i care" so yes, he can go fuck something right now, im not intrested...

I've been treated like crap, and felt like crap before, but it's so much harder to take when it's your fiancee's father... >:|

"Why are you so lazy" "Why dont you get off your ass and get a job" "Why do you wear such shitty clothes?"

he's someone who doesnt think art could produce any form of income... heh

Sometime this week i will be getting my new tablet, i am opening my own bank account today with some monies so i can get my tablet and do commissions easier. I'll open a paypall account so i can do it even easier, if i ever get any....

MUST GET THE BROT BACK TO GERMANY!

10$ commissions

Ok, so my mum is gonna wire me 200$ for my tablet so i can say "fsck compusa" and get it elsewhere... Im tired of the run- around and the hell im getting over it all... so.. ill have it by the end of the week.

Ok, Anyone who has ever had a bad experience with trying to buy parts/accessories/addons for computers, KNOWS how much pain it really is to deal with...

So, im looking to buy a new Intuos3 6x8, So... i go to the one store where i know people who work there, and see about getting one... THEY NEVER HAVE ONE IN STOCK... so i decide after being told "if we have it, its on the shelf or in back"...


So i went to the shelf where it was.. and ask an employee " Since i never see it on the shelf... can you go check in back to see if you have this tablet in stock?"

He says "ok" then turns around to see his manager, and asks "Hey, don do you know if we have any of the Intuos3 6x8 in back?"

Don looks at me, and says "We do not tell customers what we have in lock up"

and proceeds to walk off...

At this point, im SO above anger.. im beyond being livid.. im WAY passed feeling frustrated...

So i have a friend order me in one... two weeks go by.. and he tells me it has arrived... we go to pick it up, and..

"Well, we're sorry, it seems to have been sold earlier"

Now, HOW IN THE HELL... do you order 1 tablet in, and think "oh, this goes on the shelf!"

I ordered that damned tablet in.. I DID.. NO ONE ELSE...

So i wait two weeks longer for another to come in... and here i sit.. Sunday, March 5th, 2006...

I was told "they havent shipped it yet"

"where is it supposed to be coming from?"
"San antonio"
"that's a 2 hour drive"
"yes, i understand that.."
"maybe you can try to prepay for it so you can be assured it will get here?"
"I'm not paying for a product i have NEVER seen in this store..."

i walked out at that point...


about a week before this.. Wacom Human Resources emailed me.. and let me know that they're willing to sell me a tablet direct.. from them.. at the price i was offered at Compusa... GREAT deal... and if in a week.. it's still the same, i will partake of the offer...

This is an actual email i got the other night from wacom...

Ok... i was surfing DA *deviant art* and a person i have on watch, shows a wallpaper they made from the game.. Silent hill... So... i decided to look into the movie coming out, cause it seemed like a nice idea.

So, when i finally find it.. and start watching the preview.. my fiance jumps down my throat and yells at me with "im downloading the HD quality of the preview.. if you're watching it, whats the point of me downloading it for you?!" and generally making me feel bad.. so i stop watching and start scanning for other flicks..

Later.. after dinner.. where i agree'd to let him eat the meal we made.. in return for him to take me to taco bell... he sits in my chair, and me on his lap, and i ask to see the trailer.. he says.."uhm.. but you already watched it" and i announce.. "No i havent, you yelled at me so mean i stopped it.." he stumbles around for a minute in his head.. and comes out with, "well, it's too late, i deleted it.." I looked him straight in the eye and said "You never downloaded it.. did you?" and he looks away...

I stood up, walked off to the kitchen telling him that its fucking wrong of him to tell me and yell at me telling me that he's downloading it and i wasted his time, if he's just gonna "Joke" about it...

He swears it was all a joke.. Fucking wrong... i swear...

I have been waiting for Months! yes.. months.. for my new intuos tablet... So.. i finally get someone to order me in one special from compusa... and i go today to pick it up.. and what happens?! Obviously... someone put it out on the floor, and it's either been sold.. or its just MISSING....
ok, yes that can happen, but when you order one in.. SPECIAL.. for someone.. that's been there almost EVERYDAY waiting for it.. and you SELL IT... WTF?!?! i am at the breaking point now.. so close to calling the CompUSA HQ and bitching this store out.. Im tired of how they never have anything.. im tired of the asshole manager who is a dick to people.. and lies to his customers just to make a sale.. and the bitchy female workers who are absolute... well.. badwords.. to people..
Now.. this isnt the only problem ive had there... Don.. the manager.. likes to act like an ass.. i ask.. "do you have any Wacom intuos 6x8's in stock? i see none on shelf..." "I'm sorry, we don't discuss what we have in lockup..." Now.. did i ask what was in lockup? NO... I asked if he had any wacom tablets in.. because the workers keep telling me.. "if we have it.. its on the shelf or in lockup" so i ask.. and get shit... a few days later, we're in.. cause the fiance needs to buy a company a printer.. and NONE of the ones they have on display, are in stock.. so you go in.. to see about buying a printer, and you cant get them... the only thing they EVER have in friggen stock, are their Crappy Ass CompUSA Brand shit.. that is worthless...

Yea, i figure, i made yakitori chicken the other night and i want to put my recipe up...

You will need:

Depending on the number of people,
1.Pound of chicken thighs - Boneless/skinless
2.3 tablespoons Sugar
3.4 Tablespoons Soya sauce
4.leeks/green onions/onions whichever you prefer ive used all
5.Mirin, Or Sake, i used Mirin
6.Honey
7.Small wooden spears
8.little bit of water

Preperation:

Mix together 4 tablespoons of soya sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar, a little bit of honey, a little bit of mirin and water, and heat it up until it's mixed completely.

Put the chicken pieces into the already prepared sauce, and let it sit for a bit.

Cut the leek or green onions in about 3 cm long pieces...

Spear three or four pieces of chicken and some leek on each wooden stick... *now, make sure to have soaked the spears for a bit first*

Grill them until cooked

i prefer to use a little george foreman grill.. i use the little drippings try to pour over the extra sauce, and make a nice coat on the chicken... once it cooks on nicely on all sides.. i remove from heat and let sit under some foil to keep toasty.

Soon, i will have my tablet, ive been waiting almost 4 months for this thing... Intuos 6x8 mmmm.. oh the possibilities.. If you've ever used an Aiptek tablet, and then moved to a wacom, you will realize the implications for improvement, and the total praise there will be for the new tablet... *mmm*

Had to have the tablet ordered in last week, Compusa gave me SUCH a run around... its alright.. i guess i can wait for the thing i truely want. Heh...

ok i broke down and got a LJ, so i guess i'll use it for small updates/venting/life :B
