Rave: Old boss came back with the fact he got a contract and needs me for work Rant: Because its a 2 man job, I get to work with him one on one and its fucking stressful all the time. Work is work and its only for 1.5 months before I go back to school Rant: The university I want wont make a decision if I am in or not, its getting stupid and late for them to be making a decision!
Rave: my wife just secured two tickets to caps game seven at face value, $75. She's not even going, it was for me and her brother. Best wife ever? Probably. Rave: one way or another tomorrow is going to be off the fuckin hook.
Rant: People wonder why I'm so misanthropic. Let me tell you why; it's because people have made me this way. On my job, I've seen the highs and lows of society, at least society here in Edmonton, this morning, I've seen one of the lows. I've had to call child services once before on the job and this has been the second, both times the parents have been completely deserving of it. Seriously, fuck some people. Rave: Going to see Yoav on Thursday. This guy has some serious talent, does all his drum beats by banging on his guitar and looping them through mixers and such. Pretty damn excited about it.
Rant & Rave Rave: Playing hooky! Rant: Because I'm still sick. Sicker than I was on Sunday. Anybody have any surefire cold remedies?
RAVE: Today is mine, I have nothing on the books so I am going to be incredibly selfish today. First up, lets see how high is too high. Maybe bars later? Hmmm, time for some fun!
RANT: FUCK YOU Rinax computer system. Our main program at work, does our invoices/catalog lookup/inventory/etc.. Well this morning when we turned on our computers and logged on, they forced this update on us, took 20minutes or so. Then you had to activate it. Well it took around 40 minute for them to do what ever it is they had to do. So that is a hour in total first thing in the morning, were i could not do invoices. I am just starting to get caught up, it is lunch time so for some stroke of luck it has actually gotten slower, but i should get back to work, i just needed to let my mind relax for a bit.
Rave: Just got my English mark, which is a B. I was guaranteed almost a B before even writing my Kines final, so with those two courses I now have enough credits for the first portion of the TTED program I'll be taking in the fall. It's the Technology Teacher Education Diploma course. I'm going to school to be a high school shop teacher. I was doing an apprenticeship for finishing carpentry and I loved the work, but I hated the work environment. 8 hours a day on my own, with no other human interaction except when clarifying building plans on custom furniture units. One Friday right after last coffee break, about an hour before quitting time, my boss saw me and a friend talking for about an extra 20 seconds before we got back to work. On Monday, my workbench had been moved because I was "talking too much". That was the day I knew I needed something different in life. I had kept in contact with my old high school woodworking teacher, so the next time I stopped by I asked him what was required to get into teaching shop. He steered me in the right direction and I haven't looked back since. Rant: The Spanish course I took to stay at a full time student (so I could stay on my parents health care plan) and just to learn a little bit of another language is now even harder to study for. The final is Thursday, but the mark from it means absolutely nothing since I'm already accepted into the program, the credits are just extra, and my GPA will be above 3.0 even with an F. Let's see how strong willed I really am.
Rant: Keyboard is acting up cant use shift key, numbers or the delete. Rant: I hate cops right now and not for the reason you think. So me and my roommates got robbed awhile back and the cops have yet to catch the guy who did it, even though one of my roommates saw the guys car, license plate and face. They come back to use the other day saying no body wants to admit to it so they cant do anything. Well no shit they don't want to admit to it you dumb fucking pigs.
RAVE: A friend of mine is a veterinarian and has a mobile clinic. Holy shit! How amazing is it to just walk out to your driveway with your dog to get her yearly vaccines, etc. My dog loves driving places and getting into the car, but for some crazy reason, she just knows when it's a trip to the vet. Just knows. And those trips are always dreaded. She had no idea when I walked her outside right to this vehicle in my drive what was ahead. 15 minutes later, she's done for the year. She was a hell of a lot calmer than she normally is come vet time.
RANT: For an assortment of reasons, want to punch babies. Not any specific babies, just in general. Shit's a mess right now.
Nerd Rave: Comic show last weekend, got a lot of good comics, had drinks with Chris Claremont, and got to punch a guy in a suit of armor. All in all, great weekend, even if the people are really freaking weird.
Rave: Wow. So These next 10 months have the potential to be the craziest of my life. Moving to California to work for the summer, then studying abroad in Prague, and then there is a good chance me and two really good friends will buy a Sailboat and sail in the Caribbean for 3 months in the new year. Absolutely insane. Super-Rave: Telling every girl that you knew the last couple years that you are moving out of the country is the easiest way to hook up with girls..Holy shit.
RANT: Motherfuckers, could they fuck up my work project any more? Why the fuck are they sending the shop idiot out to "help" me with the project? It takes me more time to explain to him how to do things than it would take for me to just do both damn jobs myself. The worst part is that they guy doing the scheduling knows that, but has to send him out because the customer is demanding two people on site. This kid is seriously retarded. He's 25 and he's never even kissed a girl. He told the idiot that hired him he had "mechanical experience" based on the fact that he has changed light bulbs before. He put down 4 years of work in a machine shop, which turned out to be his grandpa's machine shop, and all he did was sweep the floors. Last time he was on site with me, it took him 8 hours to install 4 pipe-thread fittings. I can't take this shit any more. It's like these guys are purposely doing everything they can to make my job harder. I feel like every time I turn around, there's somebody trying to fuck me in the ass.
SGEDIT: Yep as I repped you just prior to the post below explaining, Urban Legend. If it sounds too funny to be true, it probably is. Search.
Rave: guess who took a girl's virginity at a pool party today? "I won't fuck you, but I'll suck your dick." My ass, she didn't. She was good too, so I'm doubting if she really was a virgin. All our friends vouched for her, so...high five?
RANT: Having a very shitty time at my current workplace which I am leaving in thirty-three long days. Not sure why my higher-ups are being such cunts. Today I was called into the office for not leaving my door open enough and had to sign a paper saying I'd leave it open for "pop" observations. I feel like I'm going to explode. RAVE: Just had this little text exchange with one of my favorite people: Chirpy: Feel like shit. Need a good sleep tonight but prob not possible with the full moon. Chirpy: Can I take my xanax with a vicodin chaser and not die?* Friend: Sure. I did it last night.** Chirpy: And you're alive? Yay! Hmmmmm...I'm tempted. Friend: Go for it! I woke up. Chirpy: OK. But be warned--I'm coming back to haunt you if I don't. Friend: If you die, I'm immediately killing myself and I'll bang you in hell tomorrow morning. Friend: So really, win-win. Chirpy: Best news I've heard all day. *Before I get the Heath Ledger messages, I was joking. **He wasn't joking.
Rave: In 2 weeks I'll be sunning myself in Bali, which is good because it's starting to get cold in these here parts. edit.

Rant? - Tonight was the school skating party. We sat there talking to the parents of a kid in my son's kindergarten class; the father is a famous clown here in town (I was a poet and didn't knoet). His wife was telling me that people ask her all the time what it's like being married to a clown. I nearly had to rip out my own tongue to keep from asking if his dick tastes funny. I didn't think it would go over very well as they are church going folk and this town is very small and close so I didn't say it but fuck! I really, REALLY wanted to. Getting old sucks!
