So, let me begin by saying I truly have had a week. My wife got a major promotion and almost a 50% pay raise to go along with it (thank god for that!) however she's in a major transition moving from the location she's been at for the last 8 years to her new spot and has been.. hmmm, lets put this nicely.. a complete bitch. Then we find out that she's pregnant, which is awesome but the timing sucks ass and now she's tired and bitching about how her boss will take her taking time off for medical appointments and then maternity leave.. first is more valid as she had gestational diabetes with our first child so she's bitching about having to go on insulin and now she can't drink and its the best weekend for drinking coming up, fair as I wouldn't want to stick myself with a needle (she's afraid of needles too) as often as she has/will have to. Then I own part of the family business and had to put what I usually take for a paycheck back into my company to pay the employees because we've had such a terrible start to this month... wife bitching about that. Then on Saturday, which is always the best day for sales and profit, I get a call saying its raining in my garage.... keep in mind it's 90 degrees and sunny so anything to do with rain and inside, never a good thing. So I have to leave and rush home to turn off the water to the house, attempt to find a fucking plumber (side tangent.. if I'm a plumber I would kill for Saturday work!!! 180 bucks an hour?!?!?! Fuck ya I'm sitting by the phone all day praying for that shit to ring! But apparently every single fucking plumber in the Portland/Vancouver area was out on the river or fucking somebody else's wife on a service call cause nobody.. NOBODY.. even called me back. Its Sunday and I have only had 1 out of the 23 plumbers I called return my call still!!! end tangent) and finally called my cousin who owns a ton of rental homes and two apartment complexes and got his plumber down to tear into my house. Cuts a hole in the garage ceiling. Sees the water but its not from a broken pipe... we fill the tub above the garage and nothing. We turn the shower on. Nothing. We flush the toilets. Nothing. So he proceeds to cut more holes all over the upstairs. Finally finds it. When they built my house in this new subdivision less than 5 years ago the dipshits who installed the plumbing put a little dinky "garden tub" (another side note... who is the worthless piece of shit who thought a "garden tub" was a great idea?? It holds 11 inches of water from bottom to the overflow drain and its like 30 inches wide by 48 long... my 2 year old can barely take a bath in that thing. Waste of fucking space but hey, you can say that your master bath has a separate "garden soaking tub". end tangent #2) and secured it with a nail gun that blew into the cold intake 3 1/2 inch pipe. So since nobody ever used the garden tub it just slowly seeped for the first 3 1/2 years. But that cold water pipe also splits off to provide water to my guest tub/shower where we bathe my son since the fucking garden tub is so goddamn worthless. For the last year and some months every time we'd use that tub is would piss more and more water out. Anyway its been leaking for a long time now... to top it off the original fucking plumbers (Fritz Mechanical.. I'm gonna find you and beat you with your piping at some point... just wait fuckers!) somehow wrapped the punctured pipe through a load bearing wall so you can't just cut and remove, you have to cut the fucking bearing wall out and replace it an inch at a time. Thank god for homeowners insurance... downside is again this shit never happens on a Tuesday. So since its a fucking Saturday we can't turn the water back on and have to go stay at my parents house for the night... there is a reason I moved out.... love em, free room but once you're used to living on your own and sleeping in a king sized bed the queen just doesn't quite cut it.. plus they keep their house at a comfortable setting called "The Sun" it makes for a great night of sweating. Now that it's Sunday I'd go home but the neighbors would complain the the homeowners association if I shit off the back deck as taking a dump without water isn't a great idea. Also my wife (who starts her new position on Monday) demanded that she be able take a shower, see what I mean about the bitching thing? Clean off with baby wipes I said but noooo. So its staying at a hotel in order to shower, crap and sleep in something more reasonable.. like 76 degrees maybe? So I'm trying to type this on a borrowed little piece of shit blackberry and have been without internet since Sat morning.. when I was going to do my picks. Sorry to all.
I nominate Bill Said to take over for week 16 as I'm tired as fuck and won't do these again until the playoffs as I'm sure I'll be all screwed up for a while.
Right now the only two things I got going good? Free breakfast at the hotel... that's right. I may be paying 109 bucks a night but I'm getting it all back at the buffet baby! Bring the noise! The other? The Ocho is still undefeated! Yeah baby!
