Rant: I love being assigned huge tasks that are a) not my responsibility, b) something my manager was supposed to start on a week or two ago but didn't start until today, and c) are DUE TOMORROW. I wonder if this bitch has ever heard of the phrase "lack of prior planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." Rave: She won't be my manager much longer. They're currently searching for her replacement, because it's pretty much frowned upon when you illegally edit employees' time clocks to make it look as if they never worked any overtime. Double Rave: Less than 1 week until Florida for my birthday!
Would be a Rant, but was literally too tired to care: Closed up the bar and was leaving last night with fellow bartender. As we are going quickly to our cars because of the bitter cold, we notice two people getting it on in one of the back seats in the parking lot. My friend was grossed out, I was kind of indifferent, "high five" was the first thought that came to mind. So I get in the truck and as I'm pulling around the corner to leave the parking lot, I see the two people who were having sex are now saying their goodbyes outside of the car. Yep. It was two dudes. Two of my regulars. Can now cross off "watch two dudes bone in a parking lot, then be forced to have extended social interaction with them later" from my life 'to do' list.
Rant: Work drama has been going on for a solid month now. I've never had to deal with such extreme politics before. I thought maybe I was being hypersensitive, but people in their 40's are telling me this is the worst they've encountered. I'm trying to not let it affect me, but it is. I hate that office people who are completely miserable and gave up on school have chips on their shoulders and feel the need to flex their pseudo-power at any opportunity. Fuck them and their insecure, approval-seeking selves. Rave: The bright spot is that I am a transient. Soon I will be working on my doctorate and on to bigger and better places. A few years from now this shithole I go to every day will hardly cross my mind. They will be here (or an equivalent place) forever. Succeeding is the best revenge.
Rave: Got a still-sealed copy of Perfect Dark for N64 Rave: Game is still amazing. Rant: Only have one N64 controller that works reasonably well
Rave: I take back what I said about school and women. Celebrated the end of mid terms by getting super baked, ripping around campus in a golf cart, and having a new lady friend show up unannounced for happy naked time. Fucking awesome. And now no school for a week!
Rave: Under tsunami advisory. Thank god that I decided to not rent a place on the beach flats here. From my patio should we get anything noticeable I can just chill and watch it flow.
Alright, last post on this since people have wanted to now via rep what the fuck? I didn't know because she didn't say much at the initial appointment and now I know why. I'll hide this again since it is still gross and not everybody likes the same types of stories that I do. NSFW She went to the OR yesterday to get it fished out, and started talking as soon as the anesthesia hit. She had no recollection of doing any such thing. The guard (I didn't mention that she was in inmate in shackles accompanied by a guard) said they found some other things, um....I guess you could say stashed away.... when they took her in. So, it wasn't lipstick, it was a crack pipe. And she clearly didn't mean to shove it up her urethra but to maybe just hide it conveniently in her vagina. She had no idea it was up there until the pain prompted a visit to the ER where an xray was taken. So there you go. Don't do drugs kids.
Rant What is so wrong with telling a girl you don't want to be serious? Why do you get so pissed off at that? Would you rather I lied about it? Would you rather I told you that you're the only girl I want to be with when I so clearly am not ready to or interested in that? More importantly, why the hell are you so wrapped up in me? Jesus, woman, I'm not that great. I give you butterflies? Are you serious? Nonetheless, I told the girl I'd "give it a few more tries." I guess we've only been on one date. If you don't count the 3 times we've hooked up, we've only been on one date. Sometimes I think the only thing I want to do is go drinking with friends and meet new people every night of the week. Last night, for instance, I hung out with some old friends at DC9, met a snowboarder, talked about the mountains and got her number. It was a blast. Aren't I giving that up if I stay with someone? Talking about mountains... Rave Going skiing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a week on March 7th. I won't be going a whole year without skiing after all. Got a sick deal ($395 for 4 nights of ski-in/ski-out lodging and ski pass), it's a college trip with a bunch of 19-22 year olds, and not to mention, it's probably the toughest terrain in North America. I am seriously fucking psyched about this. My skis are getting tuned and I'll be on the Fischer's since I lost the one in December of 2008. Can't wait. Cannot fucking wait. It's all I think about now, it's gonna be so much fun.
Rant: Today was the first time I've waitressed while being massively hungover. Unsurprisingly, it was not a pleasant experience. Rave: Despite the fact that I smelled like a distillery, was dripping sweat, and flinched every time someone spoke to me, I made $110 in tips alone.
Rant: Today, the magnitude of my addiction set in. It has come to my attention that I buy underwear every time I get paid. I buy at least 5 at a time, if not more, which accounts to 10+ new pairs every month. I'm supposed to be saving money for Europe this summer, but I literally cannot stop myself. Rave: I barely ever have to do laundry. Rant: Skype, seriously, you need to get your shit together. Ugh.
Rave: My (extended) weekend. Wed. - CAN-RUS game, drank a boatload. Previously made a deal to chug two beers for every goal Canada scores. The game ended 7-3 Canada. Thurs. - Karaoke at a neighborhood bar, did By The Way - RHCP, drank 5~7 beers. Fri. - Girlfriend went out with her friends, invited me and my pals along too. They had purchased a bottle at some club, we took all of it. I had I think 7~9 Redbullgreygooses (not the TiB member). Tonight... I'm taking it easy. It's the annual lights fesitval downtown, everywhere is open 24/7 but my liver can't handle it no more. Rant: I've been eating horribly the past four days. One meal a day kinda stuff. Too much beer. Rant: VIRGINS SHOULD HAVE SEX-ED. LIKE KNOWING WHEN THEIR PERIODS START AND END SO I DONT RUIN MY FUCKING COMFORTER WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SATANIC BLOODLETTING RITUAL.
Rave: I'm awesome. Plain and simple. Rant: I have a migraine for the second time this week. Which is strange as I haven't had one in probably ten years. Rave: For everything except the migraines, my life is pretty fucking sweet right now.
Rave: Officially 100 days sober! Who would have thought? Rant: Went in for physical and check-up on the presumed liver damage I have incurred. The MD tried to prescribe me xanax for anxiety. Um, hello? Do you not see on my damn chart that I am an alcoholic? Now I am supposed to turn down xanax? Rave: Ability to decline xanax prescription and only smoke four cigarettes a day. Extra Rave: My "court appearances" will be over in approximately three weeks. At least I will know the outcome and consequences of my previous behavior one way or another instead of sitting around speculating and worrying.
Rant: Some bitch just wallpapered our couch in vomit. Fan fucking tastic. Drunk me and drunk Paged get to clean this shit up now before the couch is ruined. Rant: This is woman's work. Fucking jesus. Tried to get her to clean her own vomit up, didn't go over well. More vomit ensued.
RAVE - From my mushroom incident a while back - the one where I got sent in an ambulance to ER - insurance is deciding to cover the majority of it, saving me $6,000.00. Rave - I passed all my classes last semester so now I'm a semester away from graduating with 5 associate degrees. Rant - They're associate degrees. Also my horrendous 2.3 gpa caused San Jose State to decline my application. San Jose State was my back up plan. Rant/Rave? - UCSB hasn't declined me yet, so I still have time to beg their admissions staff while citing they were my first choice anyways.
Rave: Coors Original and Umphrey's McGee HD videos. Good way to end the night. Rant: The weekend is mostly over. The coming week at work is gonna blow.
