No, it's not our fault!

So, renting a car for 14 days costs at least € 900,00 each family.
And I have to rent a car for that absurd amount of money (lefting my own car in the garage) because you don't want to drive on your own with your own car all the way abroad?
No way!!
So, it's separate vacation, just hubby and I? Ok, fine with me.

Up above

You live in an apartments building, so you have neighbours, you don't live alone but among others. You can guess that what you do can hurt someone else, you have to behave in order not to damage or disturb others. If you are a decent, normal, kind, thoughtful human being.
But if you are an idiot, you don't think anything like the above mentioned things, coz you are a perfect idiot! So, you move your furniture around at every hour, day and night, because you are an idiot. And you yell like you don't care to be listened, and that just because you are an idiot. And you hit the door like you want to detach it from the wall, and you leave your bike in the front garden exactly in front of the gate, just because you are an idiot! And you use your washing machine at midnight just because you are awake and to hell who's sleeping the floor below, because you are an idiot.

No more ballet

Second time in a row!!!!
Next may Roberto Bolle and the Scala National Ballet will be in my town for two nights, dancing at Teatro Regio.  Marty and I, we are fans of the classic ballet and especially of Bolle, so today, first day of tickets selling, I was at the theatre just coming out of work, happy to spend 100,00 € for a special night! The tickest were sold out just after one hour of free selling (out of subscriptions for the season). It's the second year I fail to buy tickets for Bolle, last year it was the same story (but I went to the tickets office the second day of selling, this time I was sure to get the two I needed).
Next year? (coz I'm sure he will come back). I'll take a day off, and I will be in front of the theatre at dawn, I just want to see if somebody will be in line before me!!!!

Grrrrrr..................

I know that's my problem, that it's just me being a little too impulsive, wanting all the details at once, still........

We have planned with some friends a short trip by bike to Provence at the end of april, so I checked the web for some hotels in a place we've already been. The hotel we stayed in back then is a bit too expensive

so I found another one that I remembered well, I e-mailed them (even if from what I read online their season opens in march) and no answer! What? You don't read your mail????? Not even if you have a commercial establishment? I wrote to the local tourism office, for more informations, and no answer, again!!

I found another one (but I guess they don't have a parking lot (which we need because of the bikes), no reply!

A damm list!

I made a list of things I'd like to do, such as exhibitions I want to see, places I want to visit.
And I realized this requires lot of time and lot of money.
And I lack of both...............

A so called friend...........

I can't make up my mind about how many morons there are in the world!
And, most of all, why I seem to meet them all. angry.gif Angry picture by GBarusi

I have this "friend" (that's how she would describe our liason...), she has no reason to be worried, has a good job, she's married to a nice guy, has a very nice daughter, her parents are ok. But nevertheless, she seems to envy anyone else, coz to her others are always happier!
We've known each other from the kindergarden. We have spent together all the primary school, the secondary one, we've even shared the same desk the first year of high school (then, I said "enough"), we graduated the same day. Our daughter are just 1 month apart, they went at the same primay school (then I arranged things to divide them) and we've been neighbours for a long time.
After all this, you would say that nothing she can say or do would surprise me, right? Wrong!
About 8 years ago my father-in-law passed away one night (I was there with him) and in the morning hubby and I had to arrange things for the funeral, the religious service, and other stuff. We made some calls, and I asked a friend to tell her. He did it, in the evening. She got mad, coz I didn't call her first thing, and she had to wait a whole day before knowing about it................I know, no words. Her mother got upset too, saying to anyone that this was not a friendly behavior.
When dad passed away, three weeks ago, mom said "don't let this happen again" so I asked my mother-in-law to call her mother (they are neighbours). So, the same afternoon she called to let me know how sad she was for me, asking for that evening church service and about the funeral.
After all the inquiring you would have expected her to show up, right? Wrong. Again.
She wasn't at the service, she wasn't at the funeral, she didn't call to say she couldn't make it. In three weeks, not a word.
Well, next time I surely will act differently. She's a "friend" I can live without, don't you think?

Bureaucracy

May I ask something?
Lost deeply in pain and sorrow when you loose a beloved one, why do you have to deal with all that stupid bureaucracy?
Why do you have to get mad running from one office to another (and they usually have your working hours) to get some documents?
Why to get one (or the signature of the department chief) you have to do at least two rounds?
I simply don't understand...........
