Oh, Hey! I'm Back!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've last posted...probably the longest lapse in posts since I've started this blog...which is kind of funny, one of my last posts celebrated this blog making it for a year...

Here's what all has been going on with me since I last posted:

- I finally moved out of my apartment! You know, the one with the terrible neighbors? [For funsies, read this, this, this, or this. All of which are lovely reminders of just how not-lovely my apartment experience has been]

• The new apartment has been much better, in regards to noxious neighbors. However, the management staff is terrible. I don't know if they're all virtually brand new or just incompetent...but it's infuriating, either way. Plus, I'd paid for a couple month's worth of 'luxury-grade' amenities and hadn't been able to use them, at all, for various office-bungling reasons. Sooooo, yeah. That's been a hoot.
• I managed to hire the worst moving company in the world. Seriously, guys...it was awful. And expensive. And I still had to move a ton of stuff by myself. Worst movers ever!
• And because Charter is a terrible company with terrible customer service...I don't have any cable or internet at my new place. I've had 4 appointments with them...2 were flat-out missed without so much as a phone call from the technician or Charter's office. 1 was botched because the tech was ill-prepared and the other was with a tech who left in the middle of the install without even saying he was leaving. Seriously. He didn't even call in to say he had left the job either. Sooooo fed up with Charter right now.

- With moving to a new apartment comes moving kids to a new school zone...that's how it is where I live, anyway. [I'd hate to be the one that's responsible for drafting up the zoning map] So, I've been trying to register the kiddo with his new school and it's been needlessly complicated. Last I heard from his school's registrar, things are good to go, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the first day of school goes smoothly...

- Work has been crazy busy! I can typically find time to write out a quick post between working on reports, but that hasn't been the case for quite some time now...

- And for a bit of good news, I'm no longer a vehicular hobo!! Yep! I've finally got a car to replace the one that I wrecked last year...on my birthday. 

- And, finally, my birthday was last week. I turned 30 and I hate it. But, let's not make a big deal out of it, okay? Thanks!

Birthday, ignored. Got it!
