Rave: There's a girl at work that a lot of guys have been chasing after with no success. I knew of her but didn't have much to do with her until I worked with her yesterday. We talked for a bit and she was cool, so we made plans to meet up last night and get drunk with some other people we work with. Went out, got drunk, and long story short, she just left my house 10 minutes ago. WIN. Rave: The other guys that had been trying to nail her were all working last night and watched as it unfolded. Rave: They aren't the kind of guys to get mad at all. A victory for one of us is a victory for all of us.
Rant and Rave Hedging my bets job wise. I won't hear back about the IT job till next week and was given until an hour ago to decide to take the bar job i was offered. I took the bar job. Didn't particularly want to but I need the money. If I do get the other job I can always leave so its no big deal. Just annoying that I was basically given an hour to decide. That and I already work in a club, have slept with half of the staff there already,which includes the sister of the owner and don't like the pub that much either (far from the worst in my town, just not one of my favourites). On the plus side its pretty close, a lot slower paced than the club and would leave me with enough spare time so I can (hopefully) start being an apprentice at my friends piercing parlour... Good thing either way is that I've got plenty of options, some better than others but options all the same.
Rant: Setting up an Inventory and POS system from scratch is a lot harder when the company who manufactures the system, refuse to give you a User Manual. Also the same company had a massive hardware failure 4 days ago, which resulted in the Inventory System totally crashing. Its still not up. Thank God the hotel I work for isn't open yet. I wouldn't want to be the hotels who run this system that are. I'm not an IT person but surely companies are meant to have contingencies in place which take over if something like this occurs? Then again the company I work for is stupid for purchasing an online system instead of finding another £1,000 - £2,000 to put in place a system which we have control of. These last 4 days have proven to me that I was right in staying as far away from online inventory systems as possible.
Rave: Bought something at the Disney store, and as the guy behind the counter hands me my stuff he says, "Thanks for shopping here, have a magical day!" No one has ever told me to have a magical day before. The guy was just doing his job of course, but for what it's worth, I think it made my day just a little bit better. Rave: Leaving for Niagara Falls tomorrow morning, staying until Sunday. I've never been there before, and I've also never stayed in a hotel before, so I am seriously excited. Lame, I know, but exciting anyways.
Rave Rave Rave: I got a job! I graduated in May, and have just been working odd jobs here and there, but I finally got a full time position. It's not the most glamorous, and the pay isn't great, but it is exactly what I want to do and will be a great stepping stone for later. My plan is to go to grad school but my grades aren't that great so I'm trying to get experience in a similar field to boost my resume for applications. I am so excited. Now the next step is moving out of my parents' basement!
Rant: While I was waxing my arms, I got carried away & waxed over the inside of my elbow and bruised the hell out of it. That's what I get for doing it in a hurry I guess... but it's not pretty. Rant: The new puppy is a fucking demon. He and our lab play well together but he makes the most atrocious noise doing it. If the weather wasn't so shitty I'd put them outside & close the doggy door up.
Rant: I have a shitload of work to do tomorrow. One midterm, one test, and one assignment. All of these add up to 60%, for different courses, but still. Rave: Just got a gift card for the liquor store in the mail from a relative. Guess what I'm doing after I'm done all my work tomorrow.
Rant: Grandpa's dead. Rant: Six days since wisdom tooth surgery, my jaw hurts like a motherfucker and I still eat with a spoon for the most part. Rave: Last day at work tomorrow, start new job on Monday, maybe Tuesday due to Bereavement.
RANT: Just found out the ex is seeing someone else. I don't even like her anymore, so why do I feel like I've been punched in the stomach? Fuck.
RANT: Christmas music. The Mrsanthropic and the littlest Missanthropic have decided that its time to break out the Xmas tunes. On November 12.
RAVE: I just watched my first ever episode of Parks and Recreation and I'll be damned if I didn't LOL through the whole thing. RANT: I wasn't so impressed with The Office tonight.
Motherfucking Rave: The article I mentioned on the old board that had been in press forever was finally published. Education and internalized racism in socio-political context: Zimbabwe and Swaziland in The Social Science Journal that comes out in December. No, I'm not the #1 author. I'll fucking take it though. We conducted the research and collected the data back in 2006. It's good to see shit finally come together. Now, maybe I can use it as leverage to get funding. It's kind of nostalgic. Rave: Women. I love women. I especially love the women in DC. They're so beautiful. Raviest Rave: At this time in one week, I'll be on a train headed back home to Charlotte, NC. I've got 10 days off for Thanksgiving break and I've already got plans. God bless loose women.
Rant: Another test tomorrow. Rant: ResLife is trying to put third kid in my room. Again. Rave: Tomorrow is Friday. Thank God for college weekends.
Rant:I just realized what that commercial that says "every kiss begins with Kay" means. The word "kiss" starts with the letter K. They are not implying that every kiss starts with an overpriced rock from a mall jewelry store. Fuck me.
Rant: Still figuring out how to use some of the features of this messageboard. I am technologically-challenged.
Rant: I've been told I should dial back the psycho violent talk in my discouse (excluding here of course). And thinking about it, they're right. 6 months away from general human contact has made me a bit savage.
New messageboard, this is kind of weird - hopefully now some dicks won't abuse their e-power though. I was bill murray on the old one, figured it was time for a name change. It was actually really weird, I got banned from the old one for 10 days for some reason I don't remember. When I got around to coming back a month later the whole fucking board was shut down, I felt like Shaq rapping about Kobe.
Rave: Birthday yesterday. Went out last night for a couple drinks, which turned into a lot of drinks. Some random table was buying me shots, I think the fat chick was trying to get me drunk and in my pants. I fooled that bitch; drank all her drinks, hit on her hotter friends and then left. Rant: Fuck me if I'm not hung over and tired. I also work today so it's going to be a long day. Rave: I woke up drunk - Sobriety is not a comfy jacket.
This is what happens when you're a dipshit that only wants to buy two bottles of beer, rather than grab the six-pack. You then try to carry them among a few other odds and ends through the store. You reach into the cooler for a Vitamin Water, one of the beers slips through the crook in your arm and bounces off the top of your foot and then hits the floor never breaking. As you can see, the entire top 1/2 of my foot is swollen including my toes which have been blackened by residual bruising. There is a reason I never drink beer I guess. All of that for 2 Michelob Ultras. And yes I know I need to paint my toes again. Shut up. With the bruising it really wouldn't matter. It's fugly no matter what, a little nail polish won't help that. Apparently the pic was too much and the rest of you have perfect feet. Whatever. Lets see some of your fugly man feet complete with hairy toes. HUH?
Rave: I am buying my perfect truck tomorrow. Exactly what I want, and right in my price range. Can haul a lot and tow, yet is the right size for Jägerette to drive comfortably when we have to move for the Army.
