Rave: So I happened to check job postings about a month ago and saw one for a company closer to home doing exactly what I do now. The only difference is the company is making a lot of money while where I work we've had huge layoffs and 10% pay cut since August. I put my name in and went through the interview process and today they called to ask me to come take a tour of the plant and talk about opportunities. No specifics yet, but I have to believe it'd be more money with a shorter commute, along with working for a company I know is run correctly. I also won't have to be on call 24x7 and will have 1/4 of the users I currently do so it should be less stressful. Rantish If the job is offered I'll feel bad quitting my current job. We are a 2 person IT department and the other admin quit a week and a half ago for a different company. So if I hand in my two weeks, there will be no one in the department aside from the manager who doesn't know anything about computers. This company hasn't been the best to the employees but they gave me a start out of college and opportunity, but at the same time I have to take care of myself. I guess it's a good problem to have but it's still a shitty feeling.
rave:I got fired from my book distributing job today. Why am I happy?, It means I do not have to deal with a delusional woman who thinks self publishing is a piece of piss, guaranteed to make a boat load of money. I told her from the start that she needs a team of professionals to do the job I am doing and since I already have two jobs, I could not give the book the time it needs for it to do well unless I am paid a full time wage. Since I didn't get that I told her exactly where she can shove the book. No more books taking up my spare room, no more incomprehensible emails off her, no more (cookbook related) stress... And, at least with this run of books, it has me listed as the Distributor, so at least I can still say my name has been in print, granted I am not proud of the book it is attached to, but its something a little different I guess. Rave: Just got the photos from the fancy dress party. My Stephen Hawking costume went down a treat, couldn't find a laptop I was willing to take out with me so had to use a speak and spell to communicate for most of the night. http://twitpic.com/14y3ug Rant / Rave:One bar we all went to, most of the people in there thought I was actually disabled, as I was getting wheeled to the bar, I kept on getting patronising pats on the back from people as if to say "Bless, you may be in a wheelchair, but you can still do normal things with normal people" This did mean for the remainder of my stay in that bar, I could not get out of the chair, only one or two people actually realised I was in fancy dress (bearing in mind I was with the blue alien and Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element, the 3 eyed alien from Toy Story and the two robots from the flight of the conchords music video amongst others) , they thought it was hilarious, the rest thought I was disabled and pitied me. I am not sure how I feel about this. rant:I woke up covered in green body paint thanks to my gf.. No matter how much I showered and scrubbed, it wouldn't come off. Luckily I didn't have to go to work, the gf did, still with green patches all over her.
RAVE Five grand in financial aid just dropped in my bank account. I want to go to Colombia for Spring Break now. Rant All of my friends are still poor.
Rave: UConn Huskies Rave: Game preview. It's like their sportswriter was out and they picked someone at random to write the article. So funny.
RAAANT: How many times can I get it in as > 70% favorite and get assfucked? How do these morons even operate their computers? Aaaaah Pokerstars, eat a dick.
Rave? After 6 months off due to house renovating I went back to the gym last night. (Fuck you, it’s a good excuse) Rant: The number of poser wankbags in that place is staggering, I think I need to join a “less cool” gym. Rant: I’ve lost more upper body strength than I had expected or care to admit. Rant: I hurt, and I know tomorrows gunna be worse. Rant: I have my younger brother to thank for my new found motivation. The little asshole challenged me to a 1 arm push-up competition, I had enough beers in me to agree. I could only do 3, he snapped off a quick 10 and called me a pussy. My girls was watching. Last year I could bench 30 pounds more than him. Fail.
Rave: After work today a friend and I worked out. I had a pretty good workout considering how long it's been since I've been to the gym. I'm pretty sure we canceled out whatever good we did though, since we followed up with lunch at my favorite Mexican place (which included a margarita for me) and ice cream. I hadn't hung out with her in forever though so it was fun to spend the day with her. Double Rave: We made plans for Saturday to drive the 90 miles to the town I went to school to go out with some friends I used to work with as well as some high school buddies that live down there. It should be fun, I haven't been down there to hit the bars since July and haven't seen most of the people we're going out with for several months.
Rave: Tonight is the night. Launching our boxing radio show at 8 PM PT [blogtalkradio.com/fightfannationradio] and we will have Henry Ramirez, the trainer of top heavyweight contender Chris Arreola on as a special guest. An hour shouldn't be too difficult to pull off but I can't help but be a little nervous, and I love to talk. Contemplating smoking a bowl beforehand to loosen up but then I might fall asleep.
Alright, a few people have wanted to know this. It was not in the penis, vagina, or gas tank (all good guesses). So, I'll nsfw the correct location because it is gross so don't read it less you want to be grossed out. You have been warned. NSFW It was in her bladder, so had to go up in through the urethra (that is where you pee from), it had been floating around in there for a couple of months. I mean, seriously, what the fuck????
Rave: Just played Mario Kart Wii for a few hours with two of my brothers and one of my nephews. It was really fun. Rant: Got my ass kicked by my five year old nephew on more than a few occasions. First time I've played in months. Rant: Wii's online sucks a dog.
Rave: I'm not retarded/crazy/high enough to ever stick a lipstick tube NSFW in my fucking bladder, via my urethra. This makes me better than some people on the planet! Rant: Maximum dollar amounts on the gas pump when you pre-pay by swiping your card before you fill. Seriously, guys. I own a truck. It has two tanks. Both of them are on vapours. No way is $100 going to cut it, unless you're only going to charge me $0.60/litre. [Edit for you imperialists: my truck holds 140+ litres, which is just shy of 40 gallons] Rave: Driving beats the shit out of walking anywhere in this cold, I don't care what the cost of gas is.
RAVE: He is doing much better than I expected. His kidney levels (whatever those numbers are) are up and he is actually drinking liquids now. Things are looking very very good and it makes me happy. RANT: He's probably drinking so well because family is in town and we can give him a lot of attention. Hopefully when family is gone, the nursing staff at the home can keep him drinking. I'm not optimistic about that. RAVE: Going on a date tomorrow with a tall, cute blond. I've kinda been avoiding her lately because she seems like one of these superficial chicks that's way too into herself. I can't stand that. Avoiding her only made her want me more and I finally agreed to go out with her and get some drinks. Hopefully she doesn't suck like I think she does. Actually, I hope she sucks, but ON something, not AT something. har har har...
Rant: Plagerizing assholes. Because the author of the link I posted could not stand how the comments pointed out how stupid she was, the author decided to lift, Word for fucking Word, actual peoples work and post it under her name. dumb bitch steals
Rant: School and women. Fuck them both. Rave: If I can make it to Friday I'll have a whole week where I have to deal with neither.
Rant: I'm starting to rival the Asians for amount of time spent in the library. Seriously, this is getting perverse. My brain is turning to mush. MUusushsusshshs. Consolation Prize: I'm one of those people that you'd stand just as good of a chance finding in the library at 2 am on a Tuesday night, as you would at finding at the bar on a Tuesday afternoon at noon. Yes, both of these things happen frequently. So I'm nerding it out while still maintaining my cool. Rant: Can't get ahold of weed guy, meaning no weed tonight, which means I've got to go buy booze when I leave this wretched library or I won't stand a chance of falling asleep tonight. And no, Nyquil or Tylenol Pm don't really work for me. They only work if I take superhuman doses, which conks me out for at least 8 hours. I can't remember the last time I've had the time to sleep 8 hours. Who was that guy that said Sunday night, "I'm not going to drink until Friday"? Wasn't me, that's for sure.
Rave: This thread. Had me laughing since I got to work this morning. I love this place. Rave dos: Another storm to hit the northeast! YES YES YESSS!!!!! THIS is what winter is supposed to be!!!
Rant: Got a phone call from my boss at 2am. Pissed me off, since my alarm was set to go off in two hours, when I have to wake up at the ungodly hour of 4 I don't appreciate being woken up at even earlier hours of the morning. Rave: He was calling because the girl who works the evening shift is sick and I didn't need to come in at 4:30am as per usual. I have to cover her shift and go in at 4:30pm. This meant I got to sleep in until 8 this morning. I like covering her shift since it's a lot more laid back in the evening and I don't have to see the woman I work with in the morning who makes me dislike my job as much as I do. Rant: If she's feeling better and I don't have to cover her shift tomorrow then I get to work until 9 or 10 tonight and go right back in at 4:30 in the morning.
