Rave: Did you know that it's possible to fit one grown adult, a laptop, an 85lb dog and a 20lb dog on one half of an average-sized couch? True story. You'd think everyone would want some space to stretch out...nope. We evidently like to snuggle in this house.
Rant: Spent all day working on a spanish paper due tonight (Authority in La Casa de Bernarda Alba... woo!) and have my accounting final tomorrow. Rave: Turns out I'm going to the Twins game tomorrow. I haven't been to Target Field yet and can't fucking wait. Pregaming and post-game drinking. A place near here has Natty Ice pitchers for $2. I couldn't ask for a better thing to do after the exam.
RAVE: Great weekend in Minneapolis. Met some really cool people and drank like a mother fucker from 10am to 2am. DOUBLE RAVE: This is usually where I would say that drinking all day eventually caught up to me and I blacked out and did some stupid shit that gives me horrible feelings of guilt and shame. Not the case this time. Partying all day is a truly amazing fun time when I don't venture to the dark side.
Rave: Tomorrow I fly off to a tropical Island for 10 days with my brothers, both of whom are awesome. Rave: Duty free booze. Rave: Duty free Cuban cigars. Rant: 12 hours in planes/airports tomorrow Worth it.
Rant: fuck you for commenting on my bad grammar especially when I'm drunk, like i am now. Rant: good friend is leaving tomorrow for pennsylvania Rave: at least he is getting out of this town.
Rave: Todays the day. Todays the day where I say fuck that, I'm not going out like that. I'm done with cigarettes.12 years. A pack a day. Fuck cigarettes.
Rant & Rave Rant: I am a clumsy, unlucky motherfucker. Wife moved the oven last night to clean behind it and for some reason, we couldn't easily move it back where it was. As I was helping her, I managed to horribly cut my arm on a random piece of metal. The wound was only about an inch long, but it was clean and fucking deep. It looked like I had slit my goddamn wrist and the blood poured. The bleeding wouldn't completely stop after an hour or so, so we went to the hospital as a precautionary measure. The bleeding did stop, of course, when I was literally 5 minutes away from having it looked at. Rave: No stitches, though.
RANT One of my co-workers continuously bitches about another co-worker, and does it in a way to pump herself up. So not only is this a huge time waster, but it makes me extremely uncomfortable. She doesn't even clue in to the obvious signals that I am not going to talk about it (such as reading something, not responding, not looking up at her while she is speaking) but she just continues on. And she appears to be the type that if I did tell her that it was making me uncomfortable that I would probably become a new target. I keep hoping that she will get the hint, but I think that is probably a long shot at this point. I can usually be pretty direct, but I really don't want all of her bitchiness directed at me. Not sure how to handle it. little RAVE I have these fuzzy animal print ear muffs, and I guess they had fallen out of my car. So some passerby must have seen them and thoughtfully wrapped them around my side mirror. So I leave for lunch, get in the car, drove away, didn't notice them, then I stopped, got out of my car and shut my door and out of the corner of my eye I see something furry and jumped back and screamed a little bit as if some vicious animal must have hitched a ride on my car. I had to laugh at myself a little bit because I am sure I looked like quite the fool.
Rant: I had a meeting to get to early this morning at the office. I ducked into the men's room to take care of business before taking care of business, only to find that the toilet paper dispenser was all fucked up. One roll was all kind of stuck together and torn in small strips, so that it was impossible to get anything off the roll more than a half inch wide - woefully inadequate for the task at hand. There was a second roll in the right side of the dispenser, but the little trap door won't slide to the left until a substantial amount of the first roll is used up. After trying desperately to get the roll started for about 10 minutes and knowing that I had someplace to be, I finally tore the dispenser off the wall and split it open like a walnut to get to the second roll of paper. You know the day is going to suck when it starts out with something as simple as wiping your ass being difficult.
Rave: God bless good lookin' women that wear low rise jeans, low cut shirts and like to bend over at the waist. Makes sitting in their hot offices trying to fix their computer so much more pleasant.
Rave: Doctor's appointment for the first time today in several years. I can now boast a family doctor! And I was actually impressed by her! Rant: She booked me for a physical, since she agreed I was perhaps overdue. Earliest possible appointment? September 8th. This is after having to wait a month and a half just to meet her. She's one of three female doctors in a city of well over half a million people accepting new patients. Welcome to fucking Canada.
Rant: This business trip has been a shit show and it's only the first day. Was supposed to golf with customers in Ann Arbor but the rain fucked that up. Customers were cool and fine with going out for a nice long lunch instead. One of my area reps asked to come along not because it's his account (it's a house acct) but because he hoped to sell them other equipment. For some reason I said ok. We sit down to lunch, order drinks, start bullshitting about how fucked the economy is in MI and how things are just now starting to turn around. The VP starts naming off companies that went out of business in the last year. When he mentions a particular company my rep butts in and starts ranting about how much "fucking money they screwed him for", how everyone there was "a lowlife", etc etc. I tried to stop him but he was on a roll and wasn't looking around the table as he talked. Little did he know that the VP we were eating with was the son of the owner of that company. The customer is justifiably pissed and slides back from the table excusing himself and stating that he's going to leave. No fucking way. This guy's business is worth about $2M and a hefty commission as it's my direct account. I stand up, and tell the customer that it won't be necessary because the rep will be leaving. The rep is shocked, muttering and trying to find a place to hide. Just then the waitress shows up to take our order. The rep is looking back and forth between me and the waitress as I inform her that he'll be leaving. Like a moron he protests saying that he's really hungry and that this really isn't necessary. The customer is giving me a look like he's getting ready to just walk out so I grab the rep by the sleeve and literally drag him to the door. I was tempted to boot him in the ass for show. Head back to the table and drop a "well that was awkward" and proceed to salvage the meal. FUCK. Today was supposed to be the easiest day of the week.
Rave: See TNT right now! Cleveland is about to lose it's only source of industry! I fucking hate 90% of Ohio, and the northeast corner is about ready to be destroyed by the one money makes exiting stage left!
Rave: I don't care what anyone says, I love the show "V", look forward to it. Can't say that about many shows these days. Rant: I have to wake up REALLY fucking early tomorrow for a doctor's appointment Rave(ish): Finally, my baby's stomach ultrasound is tomorrow. Hope like hell they'll be able to tell us what the fuck is wrong with him Rant: if they don't, someone's getting cut.
RAVE (maybe): For the last 5 years, my family has been in a legal battle over my dad's will. I basically assumed it would never end and just accepted that I probably wouldn't get anything... but now tomorrow I'm apparently supposed to go pick up a check! Now, there's a good chance that it might be a "sign your life away if you want this check" kind of thing, or maybe it's just for like 14 dollars, but who knows... Who knows...
RAVE: Stupid people! http://www.techeye.net/internet/woman-says-3d-porno-made-her-pregnant Woman says 3D porno made her pregnant
Rant: I took my wifes netbook to work today to install some anitvirus and somehow got rogue antivirus. Some "antivirus soft" shit that installed and messed her computer all up. Its constantly popping up "warnings" of infection and blocks everything to try and get it off. After 3 hours, it's finally gone. Stupid fake software, and stupid me for downloading it. Rave: My mac is virus free...
Rant & Rave Rant: I work in my company's mailroom. Another department sent down 4,000 statements to be mailed out. I ran them through our insertion machine this morning. No problem. The original department, however, didn't bother to fucking check for invalid addresses like they were fucking supposed to, so before these things can be mailed, I have to manually flip through each of the 4,000 goddamn envelopes and pull out the bad addresses. It will take entirely too long. This day has been a complete fucking waste.
