Mega Rave: Had a blast in Vegas. The Rush show was nothing less than a religious experience. Geddy's voice has suffered a bit over the years, but the band's instrumental prowess has not diminished in the slightest. The Cirque du Soleil Beatles show was pretty phenomenal. I'd see that again at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, I was (still am) battling a cold so I didn't go out really at night. Still a great trip, though. Rave? Rant? Despite having sworn it off over a year ago, I wound up getting into eHarmony again. The first day back into it I get matched up with a cute gal who reads Douglas Adams. We're at the email stage now, so we've seemingly hit it off for now. Maybe it'll work out, maybe it won't. Hopefully it will, she seems like a great girl. Just still a bit leery about the whole thing.
Rave/Rant/Weird: So I ended up fucking a girl in the girls toilets on a break from work last night. I'm currently working at a holiday town on the Island of Kos, Greece, so people are generally a bit frisky over here, but getting pulled into the girls toilets after just heading to a bar for a quiet pint on my own was fucking weird. Didn't use a condom too which is shit, will have to get that checked out now when I get home.
Minuscule Rave: Well... She paid. Petty Rant: I don't get to close the PayPal case 2 days from now and have action taken against her eBay account.
Rant: Paid my $8k and still can't find out if I'm fucked because no one has answered the phones at the relevant office in almost a week. Insanity.
Rant- Leaving the Sears Tower last night in downtown Chicago, I saw a guy chasing down a woman and grabbing her elbow as the darted around the corner. At first I thought they were just joking around, but then he started pushing her around. Not hitting her, but trying to explain himself about god knows what. Clearly crossing the line, but not to the point I thought her life was in immediate danger. I was walking with my wife and newborn and could've done one of two things- call the cops, or step in. There were others around as well, a few guys who were standing there wondering the same thing as me, "what am I going to do?" I hesitated to step in for a few reasons: -My wife and baby were with me. I sure as hell didn't want to risk their safety, even a little. -If this had been a college campus, it'd be one thing. But this was downtown Chicago. The fucker was tatted up and dressed like a gangbanger. Was he armed? Were his boys around the corner? I felt like a piece of shit for just calling the cops, but the risks involved weren't just worth it. After a few minutes, the jerkoff saw he had a crowd and let her loose. THEN THE GIRL JUST WALKED WITH HIM. What the fuck? By this point, we had security from the Sears Tower out there, but they couldn't do anything because she was walking with him and he wasn't touching her as they rounded the corner. Cops were nowhere to be seen. As my wife and I walked into the parking garage, a few of the guys that saw the whole thing with me were running out of the lot saying they changed their mind and were going to teach him a lesson. That made my day.
Rave: I met with him today and if I can successfully complete a preliminary project he handed me, I have a job running the sales and marketing. I would do the initial sales legwork and build up the sales model/make infinite phone calls and upon building a team would be the manager. He knows I'm inexperienced and knows I'm headed into a busy semester but is willing to be flexible with work and would take me on basically as a protege. I am graduating soon and this could catapult me into a big career. Holy fucking opportunity. Rave: This summer is a complete 180 from a year ago. Rant: Can't log into my company email. Fuck.
RAVE: Supertramp finally admits he's gay. RAVE: Being able to lock posts so they can't be edited after the fact.
Rant or Rave?: This girl I used to date in high school that is in a relationship of almost three years is dropping hints she wants a dicking. I've hit it before, like right as she started seeing this guy and it was an "open relationship", and it was definitely good sex so I would love for it to happen again. I don't know the guy either, so I don't feel guilty. It's her fucking up, not me. But this chick also likes to play games. I think shes jealous because other people have been telling her I have been cleaning up I guess in recent times. We are supposed to hangout for Taco Tuesday next week and she said she might have to sleep over because she doesn't drive drunk. If I don't close, I'm turning in my Man Card at the end of the month.
RANT: In light of Dread's post above: fucking Ebay store sellers who don't send what I've won and paid for. Seriously, you've got your money, send me my stuff. It's been a month.
RANT: I don't know what the fuck any of you are talking about. I thought this site was about Justin Bieber.
Rave: Enough disposable income to help chater keep snorting coke off hookers' asses. Rave: Big Muff arrived today. Still love bringing that up in conversation to see how people react Rant: KILLER headache.
Rave: Hung out with the brother of the ex girlfriend a few nights ago and had a great time. Rave: He thinks she's as pathetic as I think she is and also thinks she's miserable person. Karma's a bitch. Rave: Dodged a bullet in that relationship.
RANT Broke up with the girlfriend of 2.5 years a couple of days ago. It hadn't been too good for either of us lately, and this was a good decision for both of us. Doesn't make it any easier though.
Rant: Just got home from an 11 hour shift. Rave: The last hour and a half of said shift was eating pizza and listening to a hot French guy talk about jeans.
Rave: I just spend the last two hours of my life walking a 26 year old Chinese girl that has been in America 3 years through basic sex education. I wish I could explain this better, but it was probably the funniest thing ever. I feel like I did something good. Not to mention the fact she has a banging body and was just completely unaware of it. No chance in hell I'm fucking, but who can tell that story? Rant: My inner Patriot is pissed that China does not have any sex education, but according to this random study which may not be scientific at all, beats the Good Old US of A by a whopping 15 places on the amount of sex its people has. What the fuck America? This just shows that American women need to start putting out more so we can be number one. You're going to let Greece beat us? C'mon! USA! USA! USA!
I fired 250 people yesterday and I have another 400 or so to fire today and about 150 to fire next week. They're all temporary employees, but I still feel at least a little bit bad that all it takes is a stroke of a pen to put 900 people out of work.
RAVE: Against all odds I am finally getting on the beers and going to an irish pub tonight. Hallelejah
Rant : fighting with a contract that forgot to finish the work I hired him to do 3 years ago, and forgot to invoice me. At the time, I called him numerous times, and spoke to 3 different employees, all of them treating me like shit and ignoring my messages. Now, he's giving me shit for taking advantage of a clerical error and saying I should thank him for not having to pay interest on the amount for 3 years. It's not a ton of money, and kind of had it budgeted, was expecting it. But, it pisses me off that they're still treating me like shit, and added to Rant #2, this is a shitty time for an extra expense to pop up. Rant #2, got my lay off notice. It kind of sucks, shitty feeling, but they gave me 2 months notice, so they're being good about it Rave? This actually forces me to update my resume, and find a job that I am excited about. I almost applied to a job two weeks ago, but was too lazy to finish my resume on time. So, this must of happened for a reason. Rave Two months of fairly laid back work, no real deadlines, and half my projects that were on the go just disappeared because the deadlines for them were mostly around December 31. I was putting 50 hours per week and barely holding on. Now I can go back to 40, and enjoy life again.
