Rant: 1h08m on long term ignore Rave: 20minutes talking with the agent. It auto cancelled the same day as i bought my ticket, but i am back on the same flights.
Rave/Rant: I just signed up for an Entrepreneurship and New Business Cert IV for next year so I pull my finger out and start making the next moves in life instead of sitting in my bubble. The idea is to take Veterans out bush canyoning and climbing, things like that. I'm terrified. Rave: Only two weeks until I'm in Fiji diving with sharks, take all my new gear for a test run on the 20th. Rave: Saw Tool again on the weekend and they played Prison Sex live for the first time in 23 years. Epic set.
Rant: Husband got invited on a buddy trip in early December so OF COURSE when the time rolls around for him to leave, both kids are sick. I make it through the weekend with a snotty baby that can barely nurse and a cranky preschooler spiking fevers up to 103.5*. Then husband comes home with a new cold and promptly gives it to everyone. I hate everything. I’m going back to Covid lockdown. Everyone has just been taking turns being sick since August.
RANT: The fan over my stove just imploded. Sounds like the cage just came apart. Sounds like a differential that came apart at speed. This could make xmas cooking a wee bit interesting, but at least I have 3 bbq’s and a smoker that should be up to the task.
RANT: Fuck range hood manufacturers. The $20 squirrel cage fan came apart at speed so I need a new one. Oh… what’s that? You don’t sell just the $20 plastic fan cage on its own? I need to buy the whole $250 fan assembly to get it? And it’s 2 weeks to get here? FUCK YOU. I wish I had the time to 3d print a replacement. There are some stl’s out there, but none fit my application, so I’d have to actually design the part I’d need. I don’t have the skills for that, or the time to learn what I’d need to know. I’ve got other priorities right now.
Rant: 2025 can kiss my ass. Good riddance. It started with losing my best friend, our dog Cooper who I loved more than I like a lot of people. He was only four years old. I miss him terribly. It ends with news of an old friend’s death. As life sometimes will cause to happen, our paths went in different directions so I hadn’t seen him much over the past 10-15 years. I owe much of my life to him. We went through paramedic school together, worked together and had a lot of good times. He and his then girlfriend introduced me to my wife. I was best man when the two of them got married and they were both in our wedding. When we were expecting our first born, we asked them to be godparents. He was a damned good man. He was only 56. Fuck this year.
Rant: Second. Fuck this year. My niece passed away, my wife's aunt died a week before that, I was forced to fire my former boss for stupid reasons when his wife was going through chemo and my parents are starting to really look old.
