Rave: Booze and Games Rave: Beat my 4 roommates and a friend at monopoly. Best part was near the end 3 of them created an alliance against me and I still won. Rant: NONE they are super pissed but who cares. Heavy lies the crown.
Rant/Rave: Part of the problem with being a fill in bartender is I know every bartender in Old City. Did the rounds last night, and drank basically for free. Definite Rant: Ugh. Hangovers. Enough said.
Rant: I was just starting to feel like I had this flu beat and this morning I'm nauseous as hell and can barely focus enough to work. Fuck.
Rave: I'm an uncle again! Rant: Charles Ryan? Seriously Sis? What the fuck? The fact that their last name is ridiculous as well, makes this so stupid.
Rave: Been trying out growing a beard for a while now. Rant: Didn't work. I looked super white trash. Rave: Back to looking young and getting carded for cigars and beer as a 23 year old.
Rave- I did my taxes, getting over $7,000 back. Rave- The Aveda Institute will be calling me today to get me enrolled. I sent them a small portfolio and they are stoked about my "bold use of colour." Rant- This might be a tough year, still working on the psych degree while doing hair. It'll be fun...
Rant: So I've been trying to wait this out, but apparently my immune system has told me to fuck off. I was sick with the flu from Xmas Day to New Year's Day. I got back to DC and got sick from the 4th to the 7th with a virus. Then last Wednesday, I woke up feeling like hell so I took the day off. The more I rested, the worse I felt. I went to the Student Health Center on Thursday. They sent me to the hospital to rule out pneumonia. The hospital takes chest xrays and puts me on an IV drip. The doctors proceed to argue about releasing me that night because my fever wouldn't break and my pulse was too high. They diagnose me with an upper respiratory infection, write me some prescriptions, send me on my way. I've been taking my meds, and ran out of antibiotics on Tuesday. I still have a horrible cough. My phlegm changed from green to brown to pink to clear and currently it's yellowish brown with specks of blood in it. I'm waiting on the fucking nurse line to call me back to advise me if I need to go back to see the doctor to get more medicine. If they don't call by 12:15PM, I'm just going to take my ass to the minute clinic. Stupid fucking student health insurance. Rave: I got a new job as a student assistant in the apartment style dorms which means free rent and bigger apartment... Rant: but I haven't been able to move in because I've been too sick.
Rant: Fuck you, Microsoft. You pushed out a mandatory update to Live Messenger. One of the companies we work for has 300 users and another has about 50. None of them have administrator rights. They require Messenger to work. Fuck today. Rant: Need to work tomorrow and setup workstations all day. Rant: On call this weekend too. Rave: At least it's payday.
Rant - I'm getting sick. I pray it's not the pneumonia/bronchitis/asthma combination I had last year. Rave - My new Under Armour pants are super warm and cozy and they make this miserably cold day at work not so cold. Bigger rave - first practice of baseball season is tomorrow. Sweet.
Rant- Today will not be a good day at work, nor will it be a short day. Rave- I think The Pet Thread is specifically designed to distract me from the horrors that await me at work. I just want to rep everyone's posts with "AWWWWWW!"
Rave: Dinner tomorrow will be here, and it's not on my dime. Why yes, I do believe that I will have the 16 oz USDA Prime dry aged ribeye, thank you.
Rave: Got presented with an award at the company's quarterly meeting for being awesome at my job and stepping up to handle some customer situations. The award comes with my choice of lunch with one of the company "leaders," a 16gb flash drive, or an extra day off. Who the hell would choose anything but a day off? If I want lunch with someone, I'll ask them... and I can get a 16gb drive for $30. Rave x2: I get an extra vacation day.
Rant: In the end, it looks like they had to wipe my HDD before removing it from my PS3, because it contained no information when I finally got it plugged into my laptop. Rave: The optimistic geek in me is now just thinking about playing all those games from scratch. Fuck it, at least it gives me an excuse to go back and replay some old games I haven't touched in a while. Plus now I have a 40 GB external hard drive in the form of the crappy laptop HDD that the system came with. Rant: Have to re-download a bunch of downloaded games and add-ons, and that is going to take fucking forever. Rant: Woke up with a stress headache today. I have zero reason to be stressed. School has barely started, and even these rants are silly and meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I need to go take a hot shower, take some Advil, and drink lots of water (think I am dehydrated). Rave: Chicken tacos are cooking in the crock pot. The house smells awesome right now.
Rant: My roommates and I just want to watch 127 hours and my local theater is not playing it nor any neighboring cities. Rave: Thank you to the kind people that upload torrents for giving me the chance to watch it before the academy awards. Now lets hope my PeerBlock actually works and keeps me from getting a copyright letter.
Rave: I am now a shift commander at work! Rant: They gave me the shift with all the idiots.... This is the shift where the misfits go; they are the people that we should not hire. Though for some reason we do anyway. They have bad patient care skills, make bad judgment calls, and don't show up for shifts.. leaving us shorthanded constantly. None of them get along with each other either, which resolves into everyone fighting all the time. This is a mainly volunteer department where 90% of people get no pay. The lack of pay has meant that we have not been able to figure out a way to properly discipline them either... "Whats that" "I am suspended for a week and don't have to work for free?"... "Awesome". Getting rid of them is difficult as well because of how the department is run. Everyone who lives in town, is over 21, and is on the department for more than a year is a voting member of the board (we're a non-profit run by our membership). There is a Chief, Deputy Chief and Asst. Chief, however their power is limited and they are elected to those positions every two years by the membership. So that is in itself a hurdle because they want to maintain their position, and any large decision (ex. Removing a member) needs to be approved by the membership anyway. There is a general view of the membership that any help is good help, and as long as none of them have to deal with their bullshit then its ok. Rant: Can't drink, I am on shift with the morons.
Rant: Fuck! I have never made a move on someone less into it. Stone cold fucking sober too. I feel like I need a shower. Rave: Didn't get pepper sprayed.
Rave: I got offered some hash today by a guy riding an elephant. India is weird. I'm loving it though. Good job really since I'm here for the next 3 and a half months Rant: It appears that along with malaria and Japanese Encephalitis, Beiber fever has also spread to India. The person living in the villa next to me has a bad case of it and plays that baby song again and again everyday. Rave: my villa backs on to a restaurant that has wi-fi, which is poorly secured. So no paying the excessive charges to access the net while I'm staying here. Unfortunately where I'm staying is full of middle aged british tourists. I didn't travel 4000 miles to be around exactly the type of people I went away from. Though I doubt I'll be staying in Calungute much longer
I broke up with the girlfriend tonight/today. Jesus that was a rough conversation. 11 months... Lost the spark, she was too needy, etc. Jesus christ that hit me harder than I expected. Any recommendations on the post-breakup plan? Booty call and action movies aside. Never broken up with a girl I legitimately cared about before.
RAVE: Sexy, mature, big-titted, uninhibited women who have a crazy sex drive, tons of confidence, and no fear. Almost makes me believe in god.
