Rave: WINNIPEG JETS FTW Rant: If they end up calling them the Manitoba Polar Bears I will personally put out a standing kill bounty on any and all resonsible. Fuck you.
Rant: I still hate being in Pakistan Rave: I had an awesome stew in a seriously dodgy looking restaurant today Rant: When I tried to ask what meat was in it after a elongated game of charades the waiter proceeded to make an animal noise that I had no idea what he meant. My best guess is camel(?).
Rave: Due to a power outage in the neighborhood where my office is located, free day off of work today. I have no idea what kind of shitstorm I will be walking into tomorrow, but for now, it is 2:30 in the afternoon, the heat index outside is 100+, and I've just started on a 6 pack of St. George Brewing Company Spring Lager in my air conditioned apartment.
Are you in Chapel Hill/Carrboro? Because that shit happened to me too. It is hot as balls. Rave: Pool day. See yas later.
Rave: In less than 48 hours I'll be on the beach. I'm super impressed with my packing too - I normally over pack but this time it's very scaled back. Rantish: My brother's ex is still on my facebook feed. This was her latest status: "I jus need prayers & a lot of support...eveytime u think of me jus pray...this is serious !! The whole top of my brain on the mri showed decomposition!!" WHAT. THE. FUCK. She has a ton of health problems (that she shares on fb, like her nipple discharge) and now her brain is rotting?!?
Rant: Tornados in New England? What the fuck? A tornado hit Springfield Mass today, and from what I understand, it actually went right through my college. Glad I graduated 2 weeks ago.
Rant: June 1 and we're already hitting triple digits? It needs to cool the fuck down immediately. Rave: I passed Troy Aikman running this morning. How old is he? He looks really good.
Rant: If I hear one more person bitch about the heat, I'm going to scream. It hit 16*C today, and so far as I recall we have had less than five days total that were over 20*C. Summer has forsaken this part of the world, and I despair at ever being able to go outside in a sundress or wearing flipflops.
Rave: Alright boys and girls, it's time for me to head off to Arkansas for the Wakarusa music and camping festival. Lot's of jam band music, dirty hippies, alcohol, and good times. I'll make sure to bring some pictures back for everyone. Especially you, 'sack.
Rant: Spoiler You have to be fucking kidding me. I got my residence permit for Sweden the other day, and all EU countries had to switch to a biometric card. This card has your photo and fingerprints stored on a chip inside. They approved me 3 days after the rule took effect. I have to get the card. I hadn't had my fingerprints done. So I contact the consulate in San Francisco, and they tell me: "You have to get your fingerprints taken in Washington D.C at the embassy." That is right, I have to fly 3k miles to get my fingerprints taken. Luckily, I have a cunning plan... I was going to visit my dad in DC for two weeks before I left on August 31st. I will then get my stuff taken, and sent to my dad. I will then fly to Oslo, Norway, and take the train into Sweden. I will then get my residence card mailed to me in Sweden by my dad. All perfectly legal because I entered Sweden w/o getting my passport checked. International Lawyered.
Rave: I found a marketing internship that says "a willingness to work with firearms is a necessity" in the job description. Holy shit! I am not going to let myself get unrealistic but I applied and am hoping for at least an email back and the position actually still being open. Rant: Training the new intern has really set in how badly I need to get my ass into gear on finding a permanent job. That awesome internship is only 3 months long so even if I get it, I still need to find another job. Rave: At least the new intern is doing well. He's learning fast.
RANT: MOTHERFUCKING IDIOTS THAT CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES. WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME ALL THESE FUCKING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW SOME SHIT AT THE DMV WORKS? YOU ARE SITTING IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER WITH A PHONE AT YOUR SIDE, BE A FUCKING DETECTIVE. WHY DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A DUI? I HAVEN'T HAD ONE. WHY WOULD I KNOW? WHY ARE YOU GETTING PISSED I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS? Rave: Telling a jackass to get the fuck out of my house til he learns some goddamn respect. At least Mr P. had my back when his friend starts a fucking argument over weird shit with me.
Rave: Finally finished A Game of Thrones. Fuck the Lannisters. Rant/Rave: Three enormous books to go before A Dance with Dragons. My eyes will bleed.
Rave: Westside Barbell is trying to kill me, but in a good way. I love limping out of the gym knowing I left everything inside. Rant: Fuckheads who bitch because there's chalk flying around everywhere and, despite my best efforts, sometimes slam the weight down. Sorry I can't really put down a 500lb deadlift gently. And I deeply apologize for taking up the squat cage for an extended amount of time, I know you're just dying to work on your sweet biceps brosef.
RANT: Biking has left my ass sore. RAVE: It's also left my legs a bit bigger and stronger. RANT: Due to fuckups completely not on my part, I had to request back pay relating to erroneous job codes and a raise that wasn't properly encoded to the system. When I brought this to the attention of management, he said he couldn't see how I didn't do this on purpose. Nevermind that I had no motive or possible method of causing these errors. Not my fault you look like an incompetent moron to everyone else in the company (and, judging by the spelling/grammar of the emails I watched you send regarding the issue, this just added on to what they already knew) RAVE: Two minutes after the above accusation, his boss walked in and said, in carefully polite but certain terms, what boiled down to "There's no way he could have done this, the fuckup is all on your end, and you need to fix it. Now."
