Yay for asshole guards. The guy asked me "where I let my dog pee and shit" and told me to walk further down. I try to get Oliver away from the door as much as I can, but if he starts peeing (ALWAYS off to the side and with not a drop hitting the pavement, mind you), I'm not yanking him. Don't get stupid because he happened to do it this morning.

I hate that guard. He reminds me so much of my boss. Same complexion, same exact annoying, sing-song way of saying "hi", only this guy is MUCH more condescending. I will say this about my boss: He talks down to people, too, but his eyes are much kinder.

Stupid guard had better not say anything tomorrow, or we're going at it. He can't tell me what to do, not with that attitude. Give respect to get it. And the only time I have to see him is on my way out the door with Oliver, not even on the way back, so I don't care what he thinks.

And then over the weekend, I was walking Oliver past some buildings to see if Walgreens was open, and an older guy came out and just glared at us, and said "Don't be lettin' your dog shit all over here." I told him I always walk Oliver around the park to go before we get away from the garbage cans (because there are no more garbage cans in the area--just up on Graham Avenue and at the end of Boerum where the Jews live), and he started muttering something else. I just said "Yeah, whatever" and walked off. The guy wasn't all there, methinks.

The problem with owning a dog in my neighborhood is no one wants to pick up after their dog. There are a lot of larger breeds around--pits, mainly. They're owned by wannabe macho guys that won't bother cleaning up. If you can't do that, you don't deserve the dog, end of story.

... and someone must have sent a ridiculously large e-mail again, because Outlook's frozen. 9_9

Anyway, my day's started off badly because of the Dick in Dark Blue. According to the boss's calendar, he has three meetings today, so hopefully he'll stay out of my hair and the day will be quiet.

Job interview on Wednesday at 1pm

Forgot, a woman from LaGuardia CC called me on Friday to see if I was still interested in the College Assistant position there. Can say right now, if I get it, I'm likely going to jump ship and go there. I'll be right at the school, after all; if I decide to go to LaG, I'll be right there and won't have to worry about commuting between work and school. I'll have to ask them about how things will work, what my hours would be, etc. I was actually surprised to hear back about it. I sent them my resume last year sometime. They did say they only fill the position as it's needed, though, with explains why I'm only hearing something now.

And it'll be so good to get away from all those people calling my number for child welfare issues I can't help them with. -_- I really need to have Keesha have the number switched to the right number, but seeing as the right number is hers, she won't do it. Then she'll be getting the phone calls... even though anything I can't handle, I transfer to her, anyway.

Oh, and why I hate iTunes: I bought Lily Allen's older CD, right? Great. I put it on a CD along with the new one and the SatBK rips. Put it in WMP. No older album. Know what the files are? M4As. I keep forgetting about that. So no older album. Sigh.

Added stuff to Swaptree yesterday...

... have already accepted a trade. :D I'm trading Funhouse by Pink for a novel called Bookends. It sounded interesting. I just bought three small padded envelopes, and if the other person accepts the trade (and the site keeps telling me I need to add more stuff I want as I add things I have--I guess it works proportionally), I'll send it out tomorrow. Right now I have more stuff to trade than stuff I want, but there are a lot of categories for me to look through. Seems like it'll be a great site to work with. Highly doubt anyone will want some of the old CDs I'm listing, but I'm going to put them up anyway. Would be better to trade them to someone than to toss them.

My room looks an absolute mess right now, as I was pulling books out and typing in their ISBNs, and I didn't bother putting them back. I'm going to put all trade materials in one place.

My name's Sparksterchan if anyone's on it. :D
