Major Fucking Rant~! I agreed to work the August Civic Holiday at my hotel (Canadian long weekend, people), so I could have the time off for Labour Day to go to Muskoka and golf with my friend who is a Asst. Pro at a Club Link course up there. I got an email this morning saying since we are at bare bones, she can no longer honour the agreement. I emailed her back right away, and said no fucking way, a deal is a deal, and schedule accordingly as I will be in Muskoka for the weekend. So she fires and email back at me saying that we only had a verbal agreement (which is horseshit, as I gave her a written request just in case a situation like this arose), and that she is the boss and dictates the schedule, not the other way around. Rave! I just got hired on at another job, making $13 an hour, which is why they are being so brutal to me, as I have taken days off during the week to do the training and have been working weekends at the hotel. I don't want to have to quit, but come hell of high water, I am going to Muskoka for Labour Day! It's going to be glorious!
Rave: Turns out, my business law professor taught at the local law school (where I'm about to apply) for like 9 years before switching to where I am attending now. After class I half-jokingly said I assumed I'd be able to letter of recommendation from him. "Oh hell yeah man, any time." This guy also does take-home midterms (my mother, amongst other co-workers, are attorneys) and encourages cell phone use in class because, and I quote verbatim, "if your girlfriend tries to call you because she has a flat tire on the side of the road, and you don't answer, you are going to be in a lot more hell when you get home than you'd ever be if you answered your phone in my class. So keep 'em on, unless you really hate your girlfriend. " I have a feeling this is going to be an awesome final semester.
RAVE: Everything came up all clear at the GF's appointment! RAVE: Concert tonight that should be a grand ol' time.
Rave: I'm headed to see The Black Keys on October 2nd at the Paramount in Seattle. 6 feet from the stage. Rant: I'm going by myself. Rave: WHO GIVES A SHIT!? BLACK KEYS!
Rave: I'm not pregnant! Broken condoms suck, and Plan B is my new favourite drug. Rant: The boy won't hit it while it's bleeding.
Rant: Fuck Manitoba's health care. No, seriously. Fuck it dry and against its will. I went to the ER in Ontario today. Waited two hours and saw a doctor for THE EXACT SAME THING I'VE GONE TO THE ER FOR THREE TIMES in Winnipeg. Ontario doctor blew a fit, said I had to have a biopsy immediately, and asked if I absolutely had to fly out tomorrow, because I should be having surgery. She called in a specialist (yeah, they referred me to one in Manitoba...I've been on the waiting list for three months now), and he arrived ONE HOUR LATER. He said that he would treat me if I was willing to come back to Ontario, and insisted that once I saw a the specialist in Winnipeg that he had to receive the results from him because he wanted to know I'd been seen to. Rave: At least I have a doctor who's seen the problem and seems to give a shit that it's addressed. Rant: Why can this not happen in the province I live in?
Rave: Bought a slide for my guitar today. I have no idea how to really use it but damn, does it sound cool. Anybody have any tips for a slide virgin?
Rant: I can hear my Indian neighbors upstairs fucking. It's the distinct sound of a bed squeaking back and forth and moans. All I can imagine is hair everywhere and curry.
Rant: I cockblocked myself with a FB status quoting a comedian thinking I had my privacy settings right. I asked a girl out on a date Saturday, she said yes. Sunday, I watch this hilarious comedian talking about Tiger Woods, and what not, the joke goes says "What the fuck is sex addiction? It's total bullshit. I asked my doctor what sex addition was, and he said 'Its when you do things for sex you don't want to do.' So like a first date?" I call her today to confirm plans, no call back. I wonder why.
Rave: New Car. Hello Roadtrips. Also, my bosses secretary is fucking gorgeous and is giving me swimming lessons, despite the fact I can swim just fine. I'm gonna miss summer.
Rant: Doc took one look at the giant rash on my back and said, "Oh yeah, definitely lyme. No doubt." Rave: Caught it really early, and I'm on antibiotics so it shouldn't be too bad. Plus, I didn't have to get any more blood drawn. Doc said there was no point, as there's still a 50% chance it would come out negative again since it's so soon.
Rant: Came into the office today and was out in the shop shooting the shit with the guys. A bunch of them watch Louie and we were laughing and recalling last night's episode. One of the guy's that watches but didn't catch it wanted us to fill him in so I do. I do my best Louie CK (which isn't terrible) and come damn close to a verbatim version of the bit. In short, Louie say's that if child rape wasn't viewed as such a heinous crime by society the child rapists wouldn't be under so much pressure to kill the children to "hide" the evidence. Apparently this guy had been molested growing up and didn't find it funny. It wasn't me saying it buddy! It was LOUIE! Rave: I don't really like the guy so I could care less about his feelings. And his touchy uncle.
RANT Just got back to work after a week's vacation and about 3 new projects were sitting here waiting at my desk for me. I'm going to be absolutely swamped. RAVE Vegas was awesome, we had a really great time. RANT After all of the hype I finally tried the In-and-Out Burger. Jesus, if this place is in your top 10 burger joints you are seriously deprived.
Rave: I just spoke to Richard Dreyfuss and joined him into his conference call. Rant: I didn't have the balls to tell him he needed a bigger boat.
RAVE: I got my credit checked so I could rent out an apartment on a working farm, this is something I've dreamed of for years, being able to enjoy farm life without having to do farm work. I'm signing the lease tomorrow Rave: I'll be living above the store where they sell milk, eggs, ice cream and other dairy out of. Now I won't have to drive out here every fucking week to pick up a half gallon of milk.
Rave: This was on the front page of my local newspaper today. Remember I live in North Carolina... Hilarious.
RANT: Can't stop listening to British rock/pop/punk today. RAVE: I've been listening to some really good shit today. What's that, some more Clash? Don't mind if I do. RANT: I've been missing out on some of the Clash's deeper cuts.
