Rant/Rave? Just got a new facility assistant for our building today. Apparently his name is Willie. According to an email I received from HR this morning, the staff is not to ask Willie to do anything as Willie will only take direction from the Facility manager. Considering we're a small non-profit and it's SOP for people to help out outside their normal duties this is very strange. In addition, and this is just a feeling but the fact he goes by Willie only adds to this strangeness because I've never known anyone who goes by Willie to be a very sophisticated individual. Somthing is up.
Rant: 6 hours of meetings Rave: Concert tonight with one of the hottest girls i know.... Rant: who plays for the other team.
Rave: Virginia Beach was a lot of fun. Got to hang out with some friends that I haven't seen since Christmas and it was really nice to get away for a little bit. Traffic was good going both ways, too. Rant: 95% sure I've got Lyme disease. That fever that hit me on my birthday was probably the start of it. Found a big 'ole lyme rash on the small of my back about a day after the fever went away. Going back to the doctor tomorrow to confirm, but I'll be incredibly surprised if they think it's something else. Awesome...
Rave: Today is what is now deemed as my "golden jordan" birthday, since I am 23 on the 23rd, from Chicago, and it's Michael Jordan's number. It was decided that to celebrate, a bunch of people in shiny golden Jordan jerseys have to pee on me. I hope that doesn't happen. Birthday/Graduation/New Job/New place party was a hit. Girlfriend went waaaaaaaay out of her way to make it absofuckinglutely ridiculous, as in printing out pictures of my face and putting them on popsicle sticks and handing them out to the guests while I was having a smoke. Rant: still have to return the keg Rave: Got a bunch of sweet presents, like a galaxy s android phone from my parents, a small fortune in cash, and a natgeo book with a bunch of trips outlined. I get to pick one that doesn't cost a fuckload and take it. Sadly, my top picks are New Zealand or Thailand, which both cost a fuckload. Rave: Ordered frivolous shit using my bank reward points, including a popsci and wired subscription (never really read either, but hey, it's free!), a tactical pocket knife, and an LED flashlight/laser pointer. The last two are because I watched KickAss yesterday. That movie was fucking awesome, and I went into it with low expectations. Rant: Didn't have enough points to buy Kick Ass on blu ray. Rant: Started packing today, and I have so much shit that I don't really need but don't want to throw out either. Oh well, I have maybe 1/4th the crap that my girl has, so I don't feel too bad. Rant: Have to move on the second day of my new job. Going to be a stressful week. Rave: 1 week til I start my new job at a sweet internet start up, which I believe is one of the fastest growing internet businesses. Time to make some real moneys. Rave: Took three days off from current job, and I am actually looking forward to working a few hours tonight. I'm gonna miss that place (but not the wages).
Rant- Fuck me. As some of you may know, my wife and I recently adopted a baby girl about a month ago. Well now all hell has broken loose. The birth mother had signed an affidavit saying she wasn't registered with a tribe, but now she wants the baby back. (she's 15 years old, her parents and siblings are against her keeping the baby). Although she signed away her rights, the adoption hasn't officially gone through yet as this takes 6 months to a year. Considering she has no resources at her disposal, the agency thinks she'll go to the tribe, register, and attempt to have the tribe intervene. Anyone on this board a registered Native American or have friends that are? I know the odds are against us if the tribe gets involved, but considering she wasn't registered at the time of the adoption, and hoping she comes to her senses in the meantime, we hope a retroactive registration wouldn't be valid.
Rant I just went and got an atrocious haircut. It was so bad that it looked like I had a drunken friend randomly shave off parts of my hair and leave the rest of it alone. Because of this, I had to get it all buzzed off with a 2 blade. I have not had a shaved head since the 80's. This is going to take some getting use to. I can only imagine how shocked my co-workers are going to be tomorrow when I walk in tomorrow.
RANT: The GF told me her appointment is tomorrow at 3:30. Wish I could be there in person. I'm freaking out a little bit. I'm the one who's supposed to be in the hospital not her. Think I might pray tonight for the first time in a long time. Any prayers or good vibes sent her way are much appreciated.
Rant: So it's probably time to admit to myself that I have some lingering feelings for the ex FWB. I know it's my fault that we are no longer together - I moved away - but fuck. This sucks. Nothing about this will end well. At least it's not puking hot here right now like it was last week. That's the best I can muster for a rave right now.
Oh, here's room service! Who ordered champagne? EXACTLY! You're baked, you can't remember! But since when does it take three huge, surly Jamaican guys to deliver ONE bottle of champagne?! Maybe one guy's a new waiter, the second one's training him, and the third's from maintenance, finally off his lazy ass to fix the AC! Rave: Sobriety's overrated.
Rave: I'm teaching statistics to undergrads this year. Rave: Tuition remission and stipend! Rave: One of the women I've been flirting with for the last year really missed me over the summer break. I ran out of money and went home and got a job, while she was doing an internship at Goldman Sachs. Now that we're back together, it almost seems like she's moved in over the past week. She's a former model and her mother is a diplomat. I think I need to get her pregnant. Rant: I'm probably going to screw this up somehow, someway. Rave: I feel like a pirate. Booty from Trinidad! Arrr!
RANT: I don't do my freelance on Tuesday... I literally sent a mother huckin' memo. What is SO hard to understand about this? RAVE: Whining about having too much work to do rather than too little. RAVE: Hank III. RAVE: Monster is half price when you buy it at the store? Just grabbed two cases of 4 each for the price of 4 cans at the gas station.
Rave: How to make Justin Bieber sound like sweet post-rock? Slow him down 800%! (seriously check it out, it's pretty cool). DOUBLEFUCKINGWORSTTHINGINTHEFUCKINGWORLDRANT: THIS IS THE WORST THING TO EVER HAVE HAPPENED EVER really though what the fuck in what bizarro world are we living in that this happens
RAVE: LAST DAY OF SUMMER VACATION FOR THE KIDS!!! RAVE: Get to have sex with my wife "whenever" again as we both work from home.
Rave: Well, its not strep throat. Rant: The Doctor (who was a milf) didn't really know what it was, but said that it was very swollen. She put me on amoxicillin 3 times a day for 7 days, and told me to alternate between Tylenol and ibuprofen every three hours for the pain. Hopefully it'll just go away after a couple days. Rant: She did tell me that if the pain got so bad that I couldn't swallow or even open my mouth, go straight to the emergency room. She did say that was the worst case and it most likely wouldn't happen, but jeez...not the sort of thing you want to hear. Rave: I do feel a hell of a lot better today.
Rant- Fuckin HBO has old episodes of The Wire and Soprano's on ON DEMAND. I just realized that they do not release them in order, they leave out four or five episodes. My guess is that they think this will make you go out and buy the season DVD's. Rave- Omar, he's great. " A man's got to have a code!"
Rave(?): Just read this about Iran's new unmanned bomber: So don't you worry about that whole "ambassador of death" thing. It comes in peace and drops precision-guided candy bars with wrappers that say "You're Special."
Rant: MRI results are in. I've got a disruption of the ACL and a tear in the medial meniscus. Off to the orthopedist.
Rant: Fuck this. This summer has been balls fucking cold here. I am talking highs of about 68 degrees on the warmest days. I have had to have my windshield wipers going in to work every day to fight the fog. We finally have 2 beautiful days, yesterday and today. High today, 105. Where am I? Work. High on Sat when I am going out on a yacht in SF bay? 65.
Rant: Just got my credit score and it was... underwhelmingly average. I've never been late on a bill or credit card payment, but I don't have any "good debts" other than a credit card (no student loans/car loans/mortgage etc). I'm thinking I should nix my plans of buying a car outright and go for a loan to build myself up. Rave: At least I know nobody's been going around taking out credit cards in my name, I feel like kind of an idiot for not getting this checked sooner.
I know I'm late to this whole Justin Bieber slowed down thing, but it's like listening to a 35 minute Enya track. I really wish I had some mind expanding narcotics right now.
