#i did manage to get rid of two boxes which make less of a dent in the books waiting to be shelved they you'd think

[jedi-bird]

Sorting through old children's books and found this. At some point in my youth I apparently got a book with my Taco Bell kids meal. I don't remember it at all but I'll probably keep it for the novelty factor.

Day 2-Presents (Erik)

This will be difficult. You glanced around the mall, racking your mind for any information about your best friend and boyfriend Erik in order to find the perfect present. He always carried around the handkerchief his mother left him, but what could compete with that? You shake your head, walking into the nearest store and hoping that window shopping would at the very least give you some ideas. 

It did not. He likes his clothes and isn’t picky with them, so clothing was out of the way. With that in mind, you ignore the clothing stores to find something more appropriate. Erik was never one for video games, they were too stressful on him. Sometimes even if he was only watching you or the others playing he would get stressed all the same. 

After over three hours of mindlessly searching you were about to give up. Something caught your eye, and you were unsure why. What was so special about this item? In all, it wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t intriguing, and rather ordinary. Maybe...that was why. It was ordinary, but you could work with that. Erik wasn’t a flashy man, he appreciated the little things in life...like this. Only a small dent in your wallet and it was all yours! It was worth it knowing you had gotten the perfect present from the one that meant so much to you. 

It wasn’t difficult to hide it from him, despite your shared residency as the gift itself was relatively small. He was also not the kind of person to look through your things, he had too much respect for you to do something like that. Now, finding the perfect box small enough for it was slightly more difficult. You would have expected it to come in a box, but perhaps because of where you bought it from, it only came in a small brand bag. 

The largest problem was that it was incomplete on it’s own. Unfortunately...you had to speak with a man that made you furious. You had to speak to Erik’s father in order to get what was missing from what would soon be the perfect present. He barely gave you word of acknowledgement, stating he was too busy for...whatever you intended to do, so he left you alone for the most part. He allowed you access to any room but his own, telling you “see yourself out” when you were finished. It was one of the most challenging things you had to do in your life to keep your snide comments about his parenting and attitude to yourself. But you managed. Now all that was left was wrapping the gift and presenting it to Erik on Christmas. 

You weren’t the most experienced in wrapping, but you gave it your best shot. If you were being honest, you knew Erik would love whatever you gave him no matter the packaging. Despite this, you wanted to show you put a lot of thought and effort into the gift, even down to the little details like wrapping. You wrote a cute note stating how much you loved him on a card to pin to the present with a small bow, and waiting for the holiday in question to arrive. 

Keeping the gift itself from him may have been easy...but keeping something from him was much more difficult. He had long gathered you were getting a present for him for Christmas, and anxiously pestered you about what it could be. He would ask what it was, or for hints, before reeling back and apologizing for bothering you about it so much. He was an anxious mess most of the time, but if that wasn’t one of the most endearing things you had ever seen then all be damned. 

Normally he was a light sleeper, constantly anxious and aware of his surroundings, so chances are he would wake up before you, only to cuddle closer until you were ready to wake up on your own. You had tried telling him he was more than welcome to wake you up whenever he couldn't sleep so you could stay up with him, or help him to get back to resting himself, but he adamantly refused saying he was used to it. The morning of Christmas, this was not the case. 

You awoke to Erik carefully nudging you, planting a quick kiss on your cheek before going back to gently nudging your side in an attempt to rouse you from sleep. 

“Um...can you please get up? It’s...um it’s Christmas and...and you said we can wake up early...and...and…” As he struggled for his words, you rolled over, glancing up at him with tired eyes, and a loving smile.

“I did say that...just give me a second to wake up and we can do exactly that.” Vision still blurry, you yawned, rolling back over to look at the clock.

It was midnight. 

Trying and failing to hide your smile at the childish act of waking someone up at midnight on a holiday was just...so cute for him. He was undoubtedly looking forward to this and planned on spending the entire day, all 24 hours of it, enjoying it to its fullest.

You hummed in thought, Erik anxiously waiting for your response, knowing you had seen the time. You wouldn’t get mad at him would you? Or be upset with him for waking you up so early?

“Hun, you get really anxious when your tired. Are you sure you don’t want to get some sleep for our big day?” You knew if he got the both of you up now, it was far more likely that he would pass out from an anxiety attack than being able to have a stress free Holiday together. 

Erik let out a small whine, something he usually did when he understood what you were saying was for the best, but was too scared to protest with his own thoughts. Knowing he wanted to stay up that badly, you figured you’d attempt a compromise. 

“How about this darling, we go open one present each, and then get some sleep before we go out and do what we planned okay?” You made sure to look over, as he often didn’t speak his mind, causing the only way to see his true feelings or intentions was in the look on his face. 

His adorable face which absolutely lit up at the idea of finding out what you had gotten him. It was...too cute to resist. Especially when he nodded feverently and carefully stepped out of the bed, putting his hands over yours in an attempt to “pull” you out of bed. It was more of a “guide” rather than “pull,” but you understood that he wanted to go now. 

You shook your head and smiled at how sweet he always was. Getting up, you let him lead you to the living room as if you had never been there a day in your life. The both of you had discussed leaving your presents under your small, makeshift tree the night before so you would be better able to get them first thing in the morning. 

He let go of your hand only to grab the present he knew was his. He looked up to you from his place, kneeling in front of the tree with a sparkle in his eyes. 

You smiled and nodded, showing it was alright to open his present first before sitting down next to him. It could be nerve racking waiting for him to open the present, you worked hard both on and for it in order to make it as perfect as possible. He may say he liked it...but what if he just did it out of courtesy? 

All thoughts and insecurities were erased when he pulled out the simple, but beautiful locket you bought for him. He glanced over to you briefly before smiling and opening the locket itself. It took less than a second for him to burst into...hopefully happy tears. 

Inside on the right was a baby picture of Erik being held by his late mother. You knew how much she cherished him, and in turn became a major role in Erik’s life. On the left was a picture you managed to sneak in for your first kiss. If he had known you were taking one, you doubted he would have allowed it, given how timid he is. 

You were about to ask if he enjoyed his present before he flung himself at you, effectively knocking you both to the ground in the process. With a smile, you rubbed his back and held him close, allowing him to get up in his own time. 

With a few sniffles, he sat up and backed himself off you, “I’m sorry! I could have hurt you, or maybe you didn’t want a hug at that time, or I could have broken the locket, or-” you cut him off with a quick kiss. As you have gathered over your time together, it is the quickest and most efficient way to rid him of his insecurities. 

“I love you, okay? Moreso, I trust you. If you ever did something I didn’t enjoy I would put a stop to it. I trust you enough for that. More than anything.” His words came to a halt as he smiled, accepting your words. He had come so far in his mental health in the time you were together. You planned to do everything to keep it that way. 

“I figured...you could have two of the people that mean the most to you close to your heart at all times. If you were ever in a place that you needed me but I wasn’t physically there...you could open it and remember I’m always with you. And I know your mother would want you to be reassured just the same.” 

He took in your words, inching closer in his own way of asking if he could hug or kiss you again. You nodded, and he resumed the position he was in before. He was so stressed, that you know how much he enjoyed having his back rubbed. 

“I’m always going to be with you, and protect you. You know that right?” 

You felt him nod into your neck, with a large smile on his face as he muttered something into the skin there. 

“Hm? What was that.” 

Erik sat up, looking down at you with the smile you loved the most. It was the smile only for you. One without insecurities and fear. 

“I...I said I’m going to protect you too.”

If your heart hadn’t melted before, it certainly did now. You mirrored his smile, reaching up to place your hand on his cheek.

“I know you will Erik...I know you will.”

What if an auto insurance valuation is too low?

The insurance company wants to total my car, which was in a parking lot accident. The value that they are giving it is way too low. I know some people want more than their car is worth and the insurance company would like to save themselves as much money. However, objectively looking at it.... I cannot find another car for the price that the insurance company says it's worth. Online dealer ads list some cars with somewhat higher mileage at $2,000-2,500 more. When I offer the amount that the insurance company offered, they are polite but decline the offer. The insurance company uses comparisons with cars that are all much higher in mileage, some double. I suspect those cars are beat up. The state insurance commissioner will do nothing much, according to what their website suggests. At most, they will be an informal moderator that encourages resolution. They also tabulate the number of complaints. They will not get involved unless there is a clear violation of law, not just low ball estimates. They even say that. Actually, the repair estimate plus salvage value equals the value they assign. If the value is higher, it should be repaired, which I want. I am willing to accept a fair valuation and settlement but it is not fair now. What should I do?""

What's wrong with car insurance?

I am a safe driver. I've never had a car accident or ticket. As a consequence of my choices, I pay very low rates for car insurance. Other people I know have had accidents and many tickets, they pay a lot for car insurance. In this system, each person pays a different rate based on the consequences of their choices and actions. So what is wrong with this system? Why can't we use the exact same system for health insurance? If I eat right, exercise, and wash my hands then I will rarely get ill and should pay very low insurance rates. My neighbor eats junk food, smokes, and never exercises, has lots of medical issues and will for as long as he lives, shouldn't he pay a much higher rate for insurance? Why would anybody want a government system in which we will both pay the same rate? That is blatantly unfair to me since I make good choices and wont get sick as often. Furthermore, I have the choice of lots of different car insurance companies (Geico, Allstate, Nationwide, Progressive, etc.), this competition drives lower costs and better service. Why would I want to give up choice in favor of a monopoly? What is wrong with our car insurance system that somebody would not want the exact same system for our health care?""

How to win the claim case from the other car insurance company?

ok. So few days ago, I got into a car accident. I was driving down the highway simply just going straight. All of a sudden, this SUV crashed into me from my left lane and knocked off my side-view mirror & left some marks on my left front door. At that time of the being, I was so shocked because all I did was just go straight & I guess the car next to mine was trying to make a lane change but he wasn't fast enough to advance me. so instead, he bumped into me and realized what he's done then went back to his lane. after the accident, we both exited out from the highway & parked our cars on the side road because that's where the other car led me. I was driving alone at that time & I was so scared because it was my first time getting into this kind of an accident. I quickly tried calling 911 & told the 911 lady to send me a police. But she just asked if there was any injury & I said no then she just told me to exchange the insurance. How rude of her. Not to be mean, but I was little scared of the mexicans b/c the area I was in at the moment was really ghetto. so then I took some photos of the damages and exchanged the insurance company. The guy kept telling me in bad English that he was ahead of me so it's my fault. and I told him that I didn't even move & he was the one changed the lane without even checking to see if it was clear. but he couldn't really speak english well or he didn't even want to listen to me. so I left like that with my sideview mirror dangling next to me. *sigh* this isn't the end of the story yet. I claimed his insurance company which ive never heard of. They said that he's telling them I was the one who hit their car. which made NO SENSE. I even have a picture of their car bumper's mark on my side of the car door which proves that there's no way I hit their car and left a mark on mine and broke my own side view mirror and left THEM no damages. His car was clear with one inch scratch on the side which was made when he hit my car after bumping into me with his bumper and quickly turning back into his own lane. I can't even believe how he can lie about this kind of stuff. I feel so mad that there're ppl like him existing!!! It's so frustrating to see the liar defending himself. His Insurance company didn't even try to look at my car & told me that they are sorry & they can not help me b/c their customer said he didn't do it. What should I do in this situation? I have no witness, there wasn't any police there at the time because they wouldn't send me any which is SO WRONG of them to do. I want to sue 911 people. grr. How can I possibly prove them that I have no faults and they should repair my damn side view mirror?!?!?! What can I do?""

Week 33

Alright folks, rolling two weeks into one here since not a ton happened the first one.

Monday rolled in, and so did a true winter storm? I've seen London reduced to rubble by weather before, but this was some next level disruption. The tube stops when there's so much as a leaf on the tracks, so when you factor in an entire 'blizzard' by English standards, the world stops. Amusing how something as simple as frozen water can paralyze an entire country that's previously withstood everything from guns, germs, chemicals and everyhing in between. I was the only one whose shoes weren't seeing me slide across the pavement uncontrollably, my seasoned snow-walking ways allowed me at least a giggle as I passed my somewhat less-fortunate comrades who, well, looked kinda drunk walking on ice for the first time in, likely, a very long time. Maybe even ever?

Anyway, I made the mistake of taking the tube one morning (instead of the bus which is significantly more weather-worthy), and found myself listening to the most profoundly annoying train operator I have yet come across. We found ourselves stuck between Baron's and Earl's Court stations, and instead of just leaving us to suffer in peaceful silence, our conductor decided that telling us over and over that 'we will be moving AT SOME POINT' was much more comforting??? It was the most vague and simultaneously amusing and frustrating 10 minutes of my time in London. It also led me to think I might die underground more than it encouraged me that I wouldn’t. Anyway, I wouldn’t be much of a Londoner if I didn’t complain about the tube right?

Still, barring my one moment of train frustration, my week went by as smoothly as any second week of a job could go. I woke up Saturday morning to find a strange chocolate bar in my cupboard, and decided to make it my breakfast (#cleaneating). I tasted what could only have been alcohol, and I heard from my Hungarian flatmate later that morning that it was actually an old-fashioned chocolate bar flavoured with brandy. As sweet of her as it was to give me something from her home, I wasn't counting on tasting liquor that early on a Saturday morning!

By the way, not sure when I actually received these, but ready for something hilarious?

If someone could enlighten me as to how I’m meant to get rid of 250 of these I’d be hugely appreciative thank you. I only have like...30 family members, not sure who’s going to be on the receiving end of these cards but I’ll let you know if anyone ever actually takes one off me! Amusingly a friend of mine likes to take her friends’ business cards to dole out when she’s tipsy and gets asked out by boys she doesn’t want to give her number to, so at this rate the only call this card’s going to earn me is from one or two very disappointed gentlemen...

Monday, I spent my day wishing it away since that evening after work, I headed out to Hammersmith Apollo to see my hands-down favourite artist play the last of a series of 8 sold out shows he played in London. I've been a Bon Iver fan for years, but the only other time I've seen him live, I was in the wrong company and it was in the wrong venue (drunk and loud, open air aka the concert wasn't loud enough amazingly enough). This time, I didn't make the same mistake, I set out on my real-life clothes from work (much to the amused surprise of my colleagues who had never seen me out of a dress), and took the same bus that I usually take home.

As expected, the opener's become the most played artist on my itunes since the show, and unsurprisingly, Justin swept us all off our feet the second he took to the stage for his short but phenomenally good set. I walked the 20 minutes home with a smile on my face and a quiet thrum in my chest from the music that had just finished reverberating through it.This is the calm before the storm, but I was too distracted to take many good photos during the show. In any case, you can’t capture sound on camera anyway, it’s safe to say that my eyes didn’t really need to work for me to be fully and wholly consumed by what I could have been looking at. 

Wednesday, met up with Paris after work to go to his new favourite place in the city, which happens to be feet from where I work. The top of the Picturehouse Central cinema holds a members-only seating area that allows you a view over all of Picadilly circus, and we stopped there for a drink and a chat. If you know me at all, you know I've seen a total of 3 movies in the past decade probably, so buying a membership to a movie theatre is probably the last thing you'd expect from me, but hey, I'm full of surprises what can I say. And for this view?? Worth it I think.

Thursday March 8th meant happy international women's day! I learned that it's a massive deal in Eastern  Europe, so much so that 4 bouquets of flowers were delivered to our office for the director of the Russian Worldwide Sales Office (based in our building). I always thought it was something created in the West, but evidently not. My way of celebrating was with a few friends for dinner, but soon after arriving I found out that I couldn’t escape my past as a pad-lady since there’s truly nothing more empowering than being the face of sanitary napkins apparently... They forced me into it, here for your viewing pleasure. 

Friday after work, I met Paris at the very same place he’d shown me the week before - we’ve had to have a lot of marathon catch-ups recently to make up for the time we’ve lost together in the office, and I have a feeling I’ll be visiting this theatre overlooking Picadilly Circus a lot over the coming weeks to do just that. 

Saturday, came across this funny little street sign that reminded me of home. Even more amusing was the fact that I was in a neighbourhood near one called Forest Hill. I always gave the people who named my area a bit of flack for having been so unoriginal, but perhaps they were inspired by someone even less innovative than them. To make things worse, I was visiting someone named Emily. Too many parallels thank you. And yes, under the sign is a box of Yorkshire tea, in case you needed any more proof that I’m in England. 

Saturday night, headed to a vegan restaurant called Chloe where we celebrated one of my ex-colleagues birthdays under a sign that displayed how my generation looks at the monarchy. 

Sunday morning, I finally headed to one of the markets I’ve been most desperate to go see, with the most fantastic company I could have imagined of course! I met Paris and Giulia at the entrance to Liverpool Street station, and from there, we walked to the first of our two markets of the day.

Spitalfields market is a mix of food and clothing, textiles, wares and art and trinkets, anything you can imagine wanting you can probably find there. It’s not somewhere you want to go if you’re tight on your budget or bad with temptation, the three of us had to resist the urge to empty our pockets at least half a dozen times. Didn’t take too many photos since my iphone wasn’t giving me what I wanted in terms of photographic standard, but I did manage to snap this photo of a legit wood-fire stone pizza oven contained inside a food truck, which I found quite impressive I must say. 

Thanks to my mom’s recommendation, the three of us knew exactly what to order when we finally made it to the mouth of Brick Lane market. Dark Sugars is a chocolatier that’s more than just a storefront. Staff walk around with trays of samples, there’s a fantastic soundtrack, and they sell truffles in every flavour under the sun, including some that have tiny liqueurs that you inject into the truffle just before digging in. 

As cool as all that is, the reason we came was for their famous hot chocolate. They don’t use powders or syrups - instead, they take chunks of milk, white, and dark chocolate and shave them in front of you, displaying them in a tasty rainbow on top of steamed whole milk.

 It’s your daily requirement for sugar and everything else no doubt, but it was worth the inevitable sugar high as well as the small dent on my wallet. 

From there, we walked along to the second spot we were adamant on hitting that morning - the Beigel Bake is one of Brick Lane’s most well known and longest-standing attractions. 

Opened in 1974, they serve classic ‘Jewish-style’ Beigels and salt beef for a relatively paltry price tag. They’re open 24 hours, though walking into the place at high noon made it hard to imagine in any state other than packed to the brim busy. If any of you are familiar with the soup nazi from Seinfeld, that’s the vibe you get when you walk in. The line was out the door and almost to the corner, though it moved at a decent pace thanks to the no-funny-business, military-efficiency being demonstrated by the staff. 

Even though my body doesn’t agree with bread, I ordered the classic salt-beef beigel with gherkins, and though my body must have taken issue with something else I had consumed that day, it was entirely worth it. Paris added to his meal a 99p piece of cheesecake that honestly blew my mind when he offered me a bite, I swear if anyone you know is down to their last few pence and needs to feed themselves for a week, stocking up on that dense and perfect cheesecake might do the trick to keep them going. 

Brick lane really is all about the food though - there are a number of warehouses that you pass while hopping between stalls, and they’re all filled to the brim with stalls of vendors selling food from all around the world. From italy to the Netherlands, you can find your country - there’s even a poutine stand being run by some Canadian ex-pats! Of course, there are thousands of other things available like any market, and I went home with a map of England and Wales from 1900 that cost me a grand total of £5. See, it pays to be into things no one else wants!

And with that, I headed home with a happy belly and happier heart. 

Next week, my last week of training, the beginning of some real sales work, and some blasts from my PBX past!
