RAVE: Just traded a stock 99-04 Mustang GT front bumper for a brand new Garmin GPS system ( yes it fucking works and isn't a brick in a box or something ). Thanks craigslist.
Rant: The clusterfuck that is applying to grad school. I want to hire someone to take care of it for me.
Rant: A local branch of the bank I use (Wells Fargo) fucked shit up. I stopped by on Friday afternoon to deposit a couple of paychecks and my girlfriend was with me and decided to do the same. At the drive-through, she deposited her checks first and then in a separate transaction I deposited mine. The teller was all nice and friendly and we went home. Once we got to my place, she checked her account online and saw that there was a whole shit ton of extra money in her account. It happened to be from my checks. Fucking teller put all of the money in her account! To make shit worse, this was the first real paycheck I've received from this job and my bank account had been running mighty thin- and my girlfriend could only transfer the money over this morning because the damned checks didn't clear until midnight last night. I've tried multiple times today to get ahold of the branch and have yet to be successful. What a stupid mistake- imagine how much worse this situation would be if it wasn't my girlfriend who has the money in her account. Rant: The WF branch I typically use has closed because of the construction of a new apartment building right next door. The people there were great. I am really hoping this is a solitary incident and not the sign of a shitty ass branch... Rave: I trust the girlfriend enough to not worry about the money. She even transferred it this morning without me asking.
Rant Holy fuck almighty it is HOT!... and of course my new place doesn't have AC. Rave I can't wait to have hot sweaty animal sex in here that leaves my sheets smelling like nut-juice and armpit.
Rave: Fucking Tahoes. I almost got a boner today at the dealership getting my new car: metallic grey paint, grey leather interior, heater/cooled seats, second row bucket seats, nav system, 5.3 liter v8 (that switches to 4 cylinders when cruising) pulling about 350 horses, wood (well, plastic I think, but it looks it) trim, front and rear individual climate control, all the amenities. It's a fucking escalade jr., minus the price tag that comes with it. Also the guys at the dealership were real genuine, and cut me an awesome deal, which allowed me to get into a vehicle of that type. Fucking YEAH!!!!
Rave/rant: 14 hour work day and 6 of it all overtime. Overtime = double pay! More overtime slated for tomorrow. Me so tired.
RAVE: They recently released monthly "leave in" contact lenses in my script, after a month’s trial I'm sold on them. I'm no longer a 4 eyed motherfucker. I had used contacts in the past but hated all the fucking around, these are great, you just put them in at the beginning of the month and take them out at the end.
Rant: I found out about three months ago that my company was laying a shit-load of people off due to "corporate restructuring". They're switching to a new program that they think will streamline every business process, letting them cut almost three hundred people. I was one of those people because I have only been there for a year and 11 months, and unless you're permanent (two years + with the company), you're basically expendable. Rave: Got a job yesterday. While my lay-off date isn't till September, it's going to be extremely satisfying to leave them in the wind by me giving my two weeks TODAY. They can't hire someone new to take over my position till the new program comes in (September), so they will have to split up all my work between the remaining people in my department, and my portfolio was larger than the next two largest combined. Hopefully this will fuck them over a little bit. Rant: The job is in construction, while my previous job was accounting. Not really the career move I planned on. Rave: It's making about a dollar an hour less, but it's 12 hour days with four hours every day at overtime. I'll almost be making double what I was making before. I'm willing to make that job sacrifice.
I guess this is a rant: I have shingles. I mean, i'd be pissed about this, but honestly I think it's funny. Old people get shingles, apparently 22 year olds do too.
Rave: Tonight is a joint Bachelor Bachelorette party. There will be strippers, and the strippers will all be female. Huzzah!
Rave: Life is VERY good. I'm a single mom who works full time and is in school fulltime. I have great kids, great grades, an AMAZING new boyfriend, and an extra couple grand in my savings. All the shit I endured with the ex makes me appreciate this so much. Double Rave: I am addicted to lifting. I had a classmate tell me my body was looking like Jessica Biel's from Blade 3 or whichever. EGO STROKE. And I'm running 4 miles a day easily, damn I'm feeling good. Rant: I don't have time to write. When I do, I am blocked. Damnit. Rave than may deteriorate into a Rant: I woke up with this song in my head, haha.
Rave: Bachelor party was actually fun only about 5 of us went out, but a good night. Rave: Not HUNGOVER!! So I actually feel like dirt bike riding today.
Rave: Going to see Rusted Root tonight. I only know two of their songs, but tickets are $5 and it should be a good time regardless. Plus, the venue is about 10 minutes away from my office, so I'm just leaving work and going straight there.
Rave: "Even though she's (Kate Gosselin) a mom out with her 8 kids, she dresses like somebody going shopping for cock rings." - wwtdd
Rave: Blood test results came back and WBC count is back to normal. That's a relief. Had part 1 of the nuclear stress test this morning and part 2 tomorrow. 22 minutes doesn't sound like a long time, but when you're lying there motionless as the machine takes a series of images of your heart, it's plenty of time to think about all the things that could be wrong. Rant: Leaving Saturday for the funeral. The shock has worn off and emotions have surfaced. This shit is never easy. Thanks to all for the messages of condolence, kind thoughts and words. And for providing a place to make me laugh when I need it.
Mother fuckin' RAVE: The two weeks came and went with nothing. Well... Grove Park called today to schedule an interview. FINALLY! I would love love love to work there and it beats the fuck out of going back to school.
RANT Well, Lebron is now gone. It sucks but the team will hopefully get through it. Rebuild time. I hope he's happy with the decision and they go on to win all sorts of titles. He's now the first back to back MVP who is a sidekick. It's Wade's team. He can't ever claim that as his. Good luck and godspeed Lebron. I hope you know that you can't go home anymore. Akron/Cleveland is dead to you. You were left alone and had privacy and a whole region who worshipped you. Art Modell actually won long long ago in Cleveland. He may have backstabbed the city, but he ultimately won at one point. You never did. Oh well. I was a Cavaliers fan long long before he came and witnessed very rough times and will witness them again. At least the draft gets much more interesting now. Putting my upset feelings aside, it is really interesting that they are all leaving a whole shitload of money on the table to play together. That's pretty unheard of. It'll just be interesting to see if it works.
