The new tech came out at 6:45am the next day, and put more coolant in the system. He stated that the LL was looking for a new unit to replace the old one. The house finally dropped to a reasonable 74°f (23°c). I have to say, that's been the first time since April that the house has been that cool during the day! It was definitely a nice change of pace. Although, it felt almost too cold given what the temperature had been previously.
Seth finally told Jamie that he only cared for her as a friend, and she reminded him of his ex. His ex was rather the big lass ( 268lbs or 121kg). Yeah, Jamie is big too, but only 115kg...still a hefty lass. I have to say given what was said; Seth has no tact at all. She was in the room trying to talk him back into getting back with her. She stated that her psych told her she needs to move out & move on, or deal with Seth and try to get him back if she thinks that's possible. She took the advice as "Seth wants you back so work harder."
Friday was rather uneventful, until the evening. When I arrived home I had asked Seth if he had filled out any applications. He hadn't done a single one. He also left the trash sitting in the kitchen. He had apparently been keeping his dirty plates, and food containers in his room til that afternoon. He put a total of two full trash bags in the kitchen, and filled up the first one. He just left them there! All he had to do was walk out the front door, go down nine stairs, walk 20ft, and put them in the garbage. He couldn't be bothered.
That was just the start of everything. Seth had also left me a few other surprises. He ate all of the Oreo cookies that we had bought the night before. He left the sink and the dishwasher full of dirty dishes. Maybe it's just me nagging, but that's a bit rude when you're home all day and you aren't doing anything.
Needless to say, I snapped. I yelled at Seth for not doing anything, and told him he needs to get a job by the end of October. If he doesn't have one by then I told him, he is going to have to find a new place to live. I lived with Seth and Jamie for a month when things with Adya went crazy. I had to pay them rent twice; once due to the fact rent was due, and a second time because they wasted the rent and needed the rent paid. I had to give them extra cash to cover their bills too! I know you're asking yourself why the heck i let them move in with me. Well, they gave me a place to stay and they were getting evicted so i felt obligated to do so.
Saturday rolls around, and I wake up early to go to work. I like going to work when I'm stressed from home issues it helps me relax. I have a pretty low stress job. (i.m.o.) The only problem with that is Jamie comes with me to work since she's just across the street. She will hang out at the front desk with me until i ask her to wait in the waiting room, or one of the office cubicles. She looks completely unprofessional at most times. She seriously wears this to work: black slacks, black shoes, black polo, two studded bracelets, two costume jewelry rings, a studded leather choker, one kingdom hearts "heartless" pendant, black or purple eye shadow super dark, electric blue nail polish, and dark red lip stick. She also wears her hair down so that it hangs past her bum. Since she doesn't bathe regularly it knots, tangles, and looks greasy. On top of that she smells from not bathing, or from washing her bra of 2 years!
Now, I have to state these are issues that are usually only seen in the deep south, or severe poverty ridden areas. However, that is her personal preference! I made up a list of house rules when I got home. Here's what i had written.
"
House Rules
· Pick up after yourself! This includes trash, dishes, and clothing.
· If you have clothes in the washer or dryer, please move them promptly. Do not let them sit for hours or even days.
· If you notice the trash is full…For God(s) sakes take it out and replace the bag!!! NO EXCUSES
· If the dish washer is full run it, and place a magnet to show the dishes are clean.
· If you go to put dishes in the dishwasher with clean dishes, put them up. There is no excuse for this aside from sloth and laziness.
· Bathrooms are to be cleaned weekly! This includes moping the floor, cleaning out the tub & walls, cleaning the toilet, and countertops.
· The kitchen is to be cleaned upon using it. Clean as you go, and you have less of a mess to clean when you are done.
· Dusting is to be done weekly after vacuuming.
· The floors will be vacuumed weekly. If you have too much “shit” on your floor that would impede this…clean your room. (Having it dirty only shows a sign of laziness, lack of motivation, and a lack of self-respect / confidence.
· If you don’t want the cats in it, keep it closed. Cats are curious by nature, and the only way to stop that is to not have a cat.
Further Items for Consideration
· If you need a ride into town for something…don’t just assume that it’s going to happen. Ask! It’s proper, and it’s considerate.
· Ur momma gave ya manners! Use em!
· If you ask to have some of another person’s food, for god sakes don’t eat the majority of it or even half…Have “some”.
· If you split something with someone, that means an even share.
· Being a responsible adult means paying your bills and debt FIRST. If you have money left over, then that’s yours to spend as you see fit.
· Be considerate and hygienic. That includes bathing daily (scrubbing with something, using soap, shampoo and conditioner (or just condition every other day), and brushing your teeth. No one wants to smell your nastiness.

Yes i seriously had to post that on the refrigerator. I felt horrible doing so, but It was getting to the point I was running out of ideas on how to get my point across. Seth got upset about parts of it. He couldn't understand why he had to brush his teeth daily, and admitted to a hygiene problem. Luckily, he's been working on that since moving in.
Sunday was an adventure! Jamie's ex told her she had to come get her dog in seven days or he was going to re-home it. She took this as, "You have seven days to get your dog or i'm going to euthanize it!" We picked the dog up after work, and she refused to let us go upstairs to talk to her ex. I had offered due to the fact she was saying that he was afraid he was going to hit her.
After a few minutes I sent Jamie a text to remind her about the $300 pet deposit that's required on all pets. Her phone went off in the car. I thought maybe it was Adya's (they have the same phone) until I noticed that it was from her ex saying ty for picking up the dog, and my text. Adya picked it up and wrote down the ex's number so she could sort out some of Jamie's "bs".
Jamie's dog is a corgi named Angelo, who is 80lbs. He's suppose to weigh 50-65lbs. He hadn't been brushed in at least 3 months, and he had no car manners. During the twenty minute drive home he barked and howled the whole way. Every time he'd bark Jamie would pick him up, cuddle him, and tell him it would be ok. This only enforces bad behavior in dogs.
We get back to the house and she lets him out of the car while i use 2 lint rollers to pick up the dog hair in the car. Angelo runs around and plays with the other dogs. Jamie states Angelo is going to be inside with her in the basement. I asked her if he was potty trained and when he was fixed. She states he's fixed and potty trained, and never marks his territory. However, they didn't get him fixed til he was almost two years old. Small dogs should be fixed around 6-8 months. If you fix them at that age range, they don't learn to spray, and almost never learn it. Guess what the first thing Angelo does as he's walking around. That's right! He starts marking everything. The house, the trees, the dog house, etc.
The marking is something I'll get stuck working on this week. She stated she has no idea how to train him, and took him to obedience school when he was a puppy. After much convincing, Jamie decided to let Angelo stay outside with the other dogs. She is still adamant he's an inside dog despite her ex getting rid of him for going in the house.
Monday, wasn't bad aside from Seth's attempt to make chicken parmigiana. He decided to cut the chicken into 1/2 in strips. He stated he was trying to cut out the cartilage. In all my years of culinary experience I have never heard of such a thing in a breast muscle. He couldn't find any, but decided to make beer battered chicken. He followed a recipe online that had poor reviews, but he thought it would turn out well. He also decided not to season the flour so the chicken turned out bland and doughy. Adya made cheddar & beer bratwurst with baked potato's.
This was an ordeal in itself. It should sound pretty straightforward and easy. The issue is that Seth tried to play with the charcoal grill. While it was lit, he closed the damper and vent; thus extinguishing the coals. He decided to use a whole bottle of lighter fluid on the coals to light it up. Thank God(!) it didn't light or the house would've caught ablaze since the grill is under the awning to the porch. I got home and lit the grill. To my amazement, there was still enough of the fluid an hour later to make a fireball the size of a beach ball. At that point we finished cooking the bratwurst and potato's.
Not too much has gone on yet today. Jamie still hasn't fed or even checked on Angelo. She put him outside on Sunday, and hasn't checked on him since. Lucky for her I"m taking care of him. I told her Sunday night if she wasn't going to take care of him he'd be finding a new home with a corgi rescue. I'm hoping that she takes care of him tonight and tomorrow so she can keep her dog.
I did send Seth a list of 12 places in town that are hiring today. He said he'd check them out, but I get the feeling I'm going to have to fill them out for him. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to fill them out and put my number and email as the contact. I figure if I do that I'll know if he's getting job offers and getting denied like he states, or if he's just turning them down b/c he doesn't want to work there.
