New Laptop Screen

New Laptop Screen

After about a year and a half of having a broken laptop screen I finally got it replaced.  I can’t believe the difference already and its odd getting used to it again, however like a kid with a new toy its exciting still.

Every program I open now is in a reduced window in the corner of my screen where it previously was only usable I am able to go through and change some settings and shut down some programs that run in the system tray by the clck as I haven’t been able too see it in a long time.

I also got some double-sided tape and super glue and fixed a couple other cosmetic things and it almost feels like I have a new laptop.

Maybe now I can get some much-needed work done?!?

If I get anymore confused with how my wife intends on living her life right now I think I am going to completely loose my mind. Everything has been fine for a week, no arguments, disagreements, or anything else that would instigate coming home from class to an angry wife that wanted me out of the house.

I tried to pry but that only made things worse, but I think its the same lecture as before, she is unhappy with the way her life has turned out. (Because at the age of 27 she is nearing retirement and has nothing to show?!?) She didn’t want me to be there but doesn’t want me to stay cause if she kicked me out she would feel guilty if something happened to me. Or at least she is telling me this at 2am. I finally grew tired and couldn’t get her to come back to bed so I said fuck it and left.

I come back at 10am and things are slightly better, she is saying “I love you” again, but still has a chip on her shoulder. I am working so hard to bite my tongue and just say “yes dear” to everything…, not virtually everything…, literally everything. All in an attempt at making her happy…, this must not be what she wants cause obviously she just has this one mean bone in her that has to get in at least one fight a week.

The best I can hear for grounds to divorce from her is so petty I want to slap her upside the head and say “wake up, this isn’t neverland”. I left a sock on the floor, a cup next to the computer, I put my hand under my head pointing my elbow in her direction while I sleep…, these are her grounds for divorce! I could tell her so many things wrong with her argument but that is just fuel for the fire and I am forced to ignore it.

All of this is taking a toll on my head though.  I am not able to concentrate on my studies as much as I wanted, and even a normal concentration with her my brain is working over time just trying to think of a politically correct, grammaticaly tolerant, user-friendly, statement which doesn’t trigger another arguement.

I love my wife, but if this keeps up she is going to kill me.

What?

What?

Not even a day later and my wife takes me back as nothing had happened. Except now she is very paranoid about me coming to “visit”. Always watching to see if the manager is watching and doesn’t want me to leave after a certain time of night.

I have tried to assure her that no matter what the bitch can’t control how we live. If she honestly believes that there are more people than allowed living in the apartment then go about it another way. I think no matter what I am going to find a storage facility to find a place to store my belongings until I get a place of my own. This will also make it easier on me if my wife has another relapse and decides she doesn’t want me around anymore.

Fucking Manager

Fucking Manager

Came home to my wife today and noticed a letter taped to the door.  I took it off as I walked in and gave it to my wife as we read it together I noticed it was a note addressed to my wife and didn’t pay too much attention.  Then my wife comes back and asks me what the word “evicted” meant.  I took to note and quickly read it over.

Dohee;

We are going to file legal documents with the superior court to have you evicted.  You need to call me right away.

If that isn’t a kick in the balls I don’t know what is.  Not just the fact that she gave no reason and left the note on the door, but my wife was home all day and she didn’t even make an attempt to ring the bell and talk to my wife face-to-face.

I explained, then my wife called.  According to the manager, she went through our mailbox and saw that there was mail in there for people whose name was not on the lease.  Then she talked to the mailman and he told her that we filed a complaint about not recieving all our mail.  (I talked to him personally, was very friendly and explained to put all mail in the box, after my father had mail addressed to my wife returned to him)

Now my wife is irrate, and I am back on the street because some worthless bitch wants to commit a federal crime and rifle through her tenants mailbox.  Just when I am starting to get somewhere with my wife, she buts in and fucks it up.  I tried to explain that what she did was illegal to my wife and that she can’t prove that I live here, I might visit a lot, but I don’t live here.  Bottom line is that I don’t either.

Now I am back to square one with my wife calling her lawyer about the divorce cause we got in a fight over this.  I just hope that her mother shows up soon so that they can buy a house and get out of this hell hole.  I was even looking for a house myself.  If my wife is earning an income as well, we can easily afford the mortgage.  Now I have to start all over and try to woo her back.  My biggest problem with her is so gets soo mad so easily and she won’t admit after the fact that she was wrong, or said something in anger and will follow it through.  She is the most stubborn person I have ever met, and I married her.

Parking lot shuffle

Parking lot shuffle

I stayed up with the wife last night while she browsed the net for a purse that is unrealisticly unaffordable and we lost track of time.  After finally crawling in bed at 3:30 it felt nearly impossible getting out of bed this morning at 7:30.  I have been parking my car on the street outside of her apartment while staying with her and there is no parking here from 7:30 am until 6pm.  So despite when we go to bed, I (just me not her) have to get up and move the car into a spot where someone can put a notice on it threatening to tow my car.

Across the street there is room for 4 cars, but grabbing one of these spots is cut throat and sometimes I swear that people slow down when they see me parking to stare and flash dirty looks.  So far my car has no scratches, dents, broken windows, etc.  I am about to drop my insurance deductable down to $0 for this reason and I am not too crazy about having another window broken.  (FYI, if you really hate someone break a window, a scratch may look bad and rust, but they will never clean all that glass out of the car, and the door will sound like a baby rattle whenever they open the door.)

The whole parking process here is almost unrealistic.  The nice thing is, it is friday and the  parking police don’t work on the weekend so come 6pm tonight I can park on the street until monday morning when this entire cycle repeats.  (At least I know if I slip the ticket is only $20, which isn’t bad seeing I have parked in San Francisco for 6 hours and paid about $15.)  I honestly think that the parking situation in Korea is better.  At least there they put their phone numbers on their windshield so people can call and politely ask them to move there car so they don’t get towed or vandalised.  At least thats the idea.
