Paranoid Landlady

I rent a flat. My girlfriend lives with me. The landlady knew that my girlfriend would live with me when we signed the contract. In accordance with the law every person must file his/her (temporary or permanent) residence to the local authorities or face a penalty between 10000 and 50000 SIT ($49 and $244 respectively). I obtained the necessary forms, filled them out, and gave them to the landlady for I need her signature which attests her consent that I and my girlfriend can live in the flat. For some reason she refuses to sign the form for my girlfriend. She doesn't want to say why. But she doesn't object to my girlfriend living with me. And consider this: she even proposed to give me in writing her signed statement that she'd pay any penalties arising out of the fact that she wouldn't sign that damn form. Now go figure. I'm so moving out, just that I must find a new flat first.
I can't be bothered by paranoid people who prefer to make me vulnerable or make me suffer or any other damage, than to say what's on their mind, what bothers them, so we could continue with the debate and come to some agreement. There is no way I will ever take a groundless excuse or no excuse for an answer and I will not tolerate people that are not prepared to talk things over but instead prefer making big fuss, not telling me any reasons, and just expect something from me which I have no way of knowing WHAT! Fuck such people. I don't need them. I'll find another landlord or landlady. It's not as if there's shortage of them.

Positive thinking

According to my horoscope for this week I should try a week of non-negative thinking about people. Well then, let me try.
I have this one customer that is so expert at causing beautiful synapse overloads inside my brain, I can't help but to turn off my cell phone lest it would cause cells in my ear to start dividing and growing uncontrollably out of sheer luck from being hit by the radiance of all the simple and humorous talking. I'm so fond of this person I don't charge interest of late payment even for bills issued 5 months ago. You see, he has taught me how to make money even when having customers with no sense of long term or at least medium term planning and work-flow organisation. Who would've thought accounting professionals are capable of such simple and easy-going life, although they have to work 14 hours a day because of this. I admire this customer's perseverance at maintaining his life- and workstyle all the way to retirement. If I had tried to match his enthusiasm, I'd probably be dead by now from being accidently overrun with a large truck by a subcontractor. Really, I can't even begin to describe how lucky I am to have such a customer. What a man!
