Rant: Why am I still awake? And better yet, why do I feel more sober than I did two glasses of wine ago?
RANT: Lady, if your swimming workout doesn't involve getting your hair wet, maybe you shouldn't go in the fast lane. RAVE: After only about a month of getting back into swimming, I've already made HUGE improvements. I bet I could give 2005 competitive swimmer JoeCanada a run for his money in just about any short distance race.
Rave: Half day today, and I have Monday off. Rave: It's going to be above 60 this afternoon. I'm going to put all the windows down and go for a drive through some sweet backroads I haven't been on in a long time.
Rave: I've been in corporate housing by myself for the past 2 weeks and haven't seen my wife since I moved. She's flying in this afternoon and I've got a big old boner waiting for her. I had to scramble this morning to transform my apartment from a masturbatorium to a love dungeon. Eucerin hidden under the cabinet, check. Browsing history deleted, check. Fresh sheets, check. We are going to partay. Rant: I miss my [other] parter in crime!
Rave: The electric company called of the transformer switchover that was scheduled for tomorrow, so no staying late at work for me! Rant: It really only means that it's been pushed out to some later date. Better not be the first weekend in March because I'm going on vacation and sure as fuck am not going to stay late the Friday my vacation starts.
MOTHERFUCKING RAVE: Free trip to Vegas on the work dime! While this might not sound all that impressive to you, consider that I live in one of the world's most isolated cities on the other side of the globe, and that my flights are 32 hours each way and cost $2,300. I leave on Tuesday! I've been diligently studying the Vegas thread that was on here a while back for ideas. I am throbbing with excitement. I may have peed a little.
Re: Rant & Rave ThreadPosted: March 3rd, 2010, 4:01 am Rant- Apparently I have issues with having a back up plans as I have once again quit a job with nothing lined up to take its place.I honestly don't regret leaving the job at all but I do feel mildly stupid for doing it without any idea of what I am going to do now. Rave- I will find a job to tide me over and go back to school as soon as possible. Rave- eff' that job ????- I will be able to find a job quickly but I have to make sure that school is my priority
Rant: Got my ass kicked in PT this morning. We usually separate into ability groups - slow, medium, and fast. I'm too fast for the medium group, so I decided to challenge myself and go with the fast guys. I proceeded to embarrass myself and fell out about three quarters of the way into the run (Ended up about 100 yards behind them by the end). Watching the rest of the group inch away as you realize that you have another mile to go is one of the most miserable feelings ever. I got bitched out afterwards, which frustrated me. They tell us "Challenge yourself. Challenge yourself. Take some initiative." And then when I decide to leave my comfort zone and do a challenge, I get slammed. Sure, I failed. But I fucking tried. Rave: I now have a reason to run harder - proving a douchebag wrong.
Rant: One of the most miserable days of work I've had in a loooong time. Owner of the company I work for decided he wanted his boathouse and boat lift pressure washed. (The lake is drained for the next couple months.) Pressure washing 5 years of lake scum, in an enclosed space, in 40 degree weather, with strong winds = one tired, wet, dirty, cold, bitter SwampDonkey. Rave: Second night of using my new Smokey Mountain. Sunday will be a 12 hour pork shoulder cook. I am excite!
RANT: It's a whole 5 degrees in Fargo right now. RAVE: Good thing I'm at my brothers in Florida. RANT: I have to go back Monday.
Rant: Got fired yesterday from a job I've had for 3 years and 8 months. Everything was fine until our district manager got a much better job offer and left our company. The guy who stepped in as our temporary DM has a napoleon complex and took a dislike to me early on. He called me into the office yesterday and simply said "New York is an employment at will state and I'm terminating your employment effective today." Rave: That job was stealing my soul one small part at a time.
Rave: After three years of living in this house I'm finally turning my workout room into strictly a workout room. Tore out all the shelves, cabinets, and bullshit that collected clutter. Soooo much fucking space now. Rant: I'm not throwing enough crap away and most of it is getting put in the "next room on the list" to be finished. Might be time for a bonfire.
RANT: W-2 from my current job still hasn't shown. It's also my highest-income W-2 from last year by far. RAVE: I don't know why I wasn't informed of this say, two weeks ago when I was asking about my W-2, but apparently our company allows employees to view W-2s and paystubs online via ADP. Taxes filled and filed, and it looks like I have a free month of rent coming my way. RANT: For my 2010 filing year, I let them take more out of my checks so I would get a bigger return and learn how to better watch my spending throughout the year. For 2009, I took more home every check and opted for a smaller return. I also made two grand less for the 09 than this past year, yet my refund this year was much smaller. Welcome to the real world. It sucks, but hey, I'd rather have the higher income.
RAVE: 7 months into my diet and 70lbs down. I guess its more than a diet, its a change to the way I live. Rant: Now i am trying to quit smoking, its a son of a bitch
Rant & Rave Thread Rave: Dude with the hottest body ever was in my bed last night. Rant: He doesn't like vagina.
Rave: I'm posting this from my brand new iPad. Also got a 90 minute massage from a smoking hot girl who is licensed for giving massages. My brain and body are both completely fried. Rant: Spent entirely too much money today. Over $1000. And the massage girl is married.
RAVE: Wooo! Rugby begins! Some great matches this weekend... Blues vs. Crusaders was a great match, and the Sharks gave the Cheetahs a 24-9 beat-down. Both teams played great defence, but Denille of the Cheetahs would NOT change tactics (he kept trying to up-and-under with the boot and it never came off properly) and cost his team the match. Still, a good win for the Sharks. RANT: No work in this fucking country. Fuck South Africa.
Rave: Went out last night and seen a really cool band with a bunch of my good friends. Rant: A kinda hot girl was all over me last night, and I fumbled that shit. I didnt think to get her number before I left. Going to be kicking myself in the ass because of that for awhile. Rave: Long weekend you American infidels, its still Saturday up here in Canada.
RANT: Four hours under my truck replacing the oil pan gasket. I look like a hobo, but with more grease. RAVE: No more oil leak...hopefully. And, I learned more about my engine than I (hopefully) will ever need to know.
