What Comes Next: Things I'm Decidedly Not Enjoying About My Apartment/ Australia/ My Life At the Moment

Things I'm Learning the Hard Way (Ongoing List)

* It's Never a Good Idea to Find a Short Cut Home With 50lbs of Melting Groceries - what looks like a short cut is actually your heat exhaustion manifesting itself. Don't fall for it.
* If No One At the Cafe Is Making Use of the Outdoor Tables, There Is a Reason. - You wont be able to eat your food without being attacked by a herd of flies. Meanwhile you'll be entertainment for the people that know better and are sweating it out inside.
* You Often Have To Choose Between Sunscreen and Melanoma. You'll Often Choose Melanoma. - reason being that wearing sunscreen often attracts flies like honey does bees. Thanks for the warning coppertone.
* There's Absolutely No Point In Buying Perimiter Spray for Pests if They Can FLY OVER THE PERIMITER!!!!
* There's a Reason Why Everyone Elses Handy Shelf Above the Toilet is Empty - If it was so handy, things would NOT fall into the toilet at random!
* Your Eyes Are Not Deceiving You - If you think you see something, no matter how far fetched, you probably did. (This is very applicable in the case of roaches flying or otherwise).

Flies
Hairy Spiders
Roaches - and then being told when reporting them that I should be glad I don't have rats. Umm... excuse me? I JUST MOVED IN and this is NOT sanitary!
Sloooow internet connection when I'm paying $40 more for turbo speed - I'm sorry but dial up is NOT broadband.
Tiny ants that get into everything!
Having a leaky toilet that has supposedly been repaired by an imaginary plumber that never came. And by leaky I don't mean the clean water is leaking.
Having a sticky rug - that I suspect is from said leaky toilet and then being told that the rug is new. Are those new stains too?! Unbelievable.
Having to wait two weeks for pest control.
