Rant: this. It reminded me of watching my HS football team playing vastly superior opponents. Rave: have been through some heavy pre-screening by the sole recruiter for a technical lead position in downtown Austin. Considering it was my desire to move to Austin and not Tampa in the first place, and the position comes with a 45% increase, I'm anxious to schedule a phone interview. If that goes well, which it should as I interview pretty well, I'll at the least get to make another visit to my favorite city within the next month. At best, I'll finally get to move where I've wanted to the past 2 years.
Rant: Have had Vertigo for a week. This shit sucks. Rave: I'm past the point of where I'm so dizzy I have to puke. That only lasted a couple days. It seems that I have my sea legs now.
RANT: Getting people to respond to your online survey (my class grade depends on it!!) can be fucking annoying. Oh well, I have no morals: Anyone who takes and bullshits out THIS SURVEY RIGHT HERE (I don't give a fuck if you don't live in the area, just please fill it out with common sense or make stuff up) receives, from me: - An offer for positive rep to you (or you can neg bang the shit out of me) Not good enough? - I will, for one days, personally change my profile avatar to "(your name here)'s Bitch" and change my sig appropriately as well. Or you can personalize for me with all sorts of nasty shit if you want. Simply message me and tell me that you completed the survey. Please be honest and do it. Yeah, I'm that desperate. HELP. EDIT: Oh crap, there's going to be quite a line for this...make it one day. Sorry yall
Rant: Because of the Thanksgiving schedule I have torts three times this week. Rave: Getting nice and buzzed before civil procedure.
Rant: I've heard Christmas songs on the radio, there's Christmas decorations at Lowes and Walmart, and lights are already going up everywhere. I miss the days when that shit started AFTER Thanksgiving. Rave: Though I'm resisting it, I'm starting to get in the Christmas spirit or whatever the fuck they call it. It's fucking cold outside (yes, 50 degrees is "fucking cold"), my wife is preemptively pulling out Christmas decorations, and I'm planning out how I want to do the outside lights. Fortunately, this year I have a mexican friend who (surprisingly) used to work as a landscaper. He said if I provided him with beer, he'd hang the lights. Sounds like a great trade off to me! Rant: Christmas lights are fucking expensive.
Rant/Rave: I completely forgot about Thanksgiving. I was trying to book flights for next week and was wondering why nothing was available AND everything was so expensive. So obviously I won't be traveling anywhere for work. My parents haven't asked me about it yet so I wonder if I've been uninvited this year? Rant: It's almost "shit or get off the pot" time for another side business I want to launch for next year. Rave: It's almost "shit or get off the pot" time for another side business I want to launch for next year. Rave: Timing seems right since the person I've always considered to be perfect for running the face-to-face sales end of things for this business was just let go from their job last week.
Rant: I bit my tongue yesterday. It's sore and rubbing on my back molar whenever I talk. I talk on the phone all damn day. I sound like I have downs.
RANT: I've been so fucking horny for three days, with no end in sight. RAVE: ... ... ... Nope, I got nothin. Still horny.
Rant: Last birthday of my twenties. Rave: I don't look 29. Rave: Just got a call for a job interview tomorrow. Rant: It's retail. Rave: But it's Sephora. Hopefully (if I get the job) they'll keep me on full time after the holidays.
Rant: My Mom believes that my Dad is having or has had an affair and that this has contributed to her having cervical cancer.
Rant/Rave?: I've been noticing more and more that as I get older I am starting to dress much nicer, especially when it starts to get cold out. It's more expensive to dress well, but now that I have a good job I can afford it and since I'm not all that thin anymore, covering myself in expensive clothes is the best way to make myself look good. Oh well, I guess I'm just getting more mature, and being well dressed makes me feel good. Also, I swear I'm not gay. Rave: 30% off select sweaters on Banana Republic's website today!
rant: I'm slipping back into another depressive episode. The last one lasted 2 months and destroyed my relationship with my now ex gf. I'm starting to withdraw and can't pull myself out of this, and I'm still working with my ex, which is absolutely horrible. rave: I am going to India in the new year for 3-4 months, so I've got that to keep me going. I just got to make it through the next 7 weeks.
Just an FYI kinda rave I guess: Jack in the Box is giving away two free tacos after 2pm today. No purchase or coupon necessary. I've only had JITB once a long time ago and I remember it being pretty good. Their tacos look a little funky with the slice of american cheese but they're free so you can't really ask for much I suppose. Someone go have one and report back.
RANT My neighbors car alarm went off at 6:20am this morning. It didn't stop blaring for an honest 10 mins. The dam car alarm decided it didn't like being told what to do so later at 6:40am it went off again and again blared for well over 10 mins. Waking up to a car alarm is one of the most annoying things in the world.
Rant: I have work that seriously needs to get done and instead I'm procrastinating and dicking around on the internet. Fucking hell.
Rave: I don't eat at JITB, thus I don't have violent, kill-me-now diarrhea. It's a win/win situation.
My sister-in-law has thyroid cancer. Our housekeeper has breast cancer. The doctors for both say it's all treatable and not to worry, but I worry. Doctors are better liars than lawyers.
RANT: Bomb threat on campus in 4 building, one of which is the ME building where I was working on shit before it happened. RAVE: Went to lunch at noon with people and started drinking cause well we didn't know what the fuck else we should do RANT: I figured it was a fire alarm or something and I'd be back in 20 minutes, so I left 95% of my shit in the computer lab RAVE: Fuck it, if it's not there tomorrow people can go fuck themselves.
RAVE: Turns out an awesome girl I've liked likes me back. Awesome date last night. Another lined up for tonight. I feel like I'm in high school again.
Rant: Random roommates. The guy eats nothing but french fries for every meal. Normally I wouldn't care about somebody I don't know slowly giving them self scurvy, but this fucker manages to set of the smoke alarms twice a day. Rant: Had the "shit you left at my place" exchange with the ex-fiancee. She returned the ring yesterday. That's pretty much the end of my ability to still be in denial. Rave? She took a guy (she swears she isn't dating) to a friend's wedding. This guy's ex, through the magic of the internet, sought me out to let me know about the two of them. Some woman I've never met found my e-mail, where I go to school, the name of a band I played in about a year ago, and about my recent breakup. Then felt compelled to tell me what I already knew. Thankfully I didn't give her my phone number like she wanted. I actually feel better knowing that I'm handling my breakup better than her. Seriously, she's fucking insane. Rave: One of the things I got back was the collection of Palahniuk novels I lent to her. Yep, this a rave about a Rant.
