RAVE: Figures as soon as the Avatar thread pops up and I post my picture I get a nice rep from bigperson8686 - "dude! Are you in the Air Force! Because you look A LOT like a guy I went to tech school with! (Scheduling). Yes and yes again what are the odds. Been missing some of my tech school brothers and sisters so its nice to know in this crazy world we would meet on the fucking idiot board!!
Rave: Incredibly happy I chose to pursue the girl in spite of the age difference. She's pretty amazing. I haven't been this happy with someone in a very long time. Rave: She's kinky as fuck. I expected her to be really innocent based on her age and how innocent she looks but holy shit she surprised me. Rave: 3 weeks until the semester is over. Rant: 3 weeks until the semester is over! I don't know if I'm gonna make it.
Rave: It's Friday! Rave: Going to Canada tomorrow for my grandmother's 85 birthday! My mother's entire side of the family will be there, to boot. I haven't seen three of my cousins in almost 10 years! The last time I saw them, they were just little munchkins, so this is going to be great! Rant: Going across the border both ways is going to suck some major donkey dong.
Rave: Decided to travel to St. Louis with my FIRST team. 3 and a half days with no work and lots of robots!
Rave: I'm getting him on Sunday at 3:00pm. The adoption group is coming by to do my inspection on Saturday at 4:00pm. I'm pretty much ready with a couple of things I want to switch around before the puppy arives. Rave: I'll spoiler this for length, but in exchanging emails with the current foster parents of the puppy, I got this email. If this didn't get me super excited about owning this dog, I don't know what would, and I probably wouldn't have a soul. Spoiler Last Rave: So, he's going to be named Angus, and in trying to figure out what his middle name was going to be, I stumbled across this gem. His name will be Angus MacGyver Rue (my last name).
Rant: What a great idea. Letting me run the bar all by myself on one of the sunniest days in months. While it's also a traditional drinking night for the students. And it's also the night before a national holiday, so fucking everybody in the city can get their drink on. No way it's going to be busy or anything. Running around like a madman, carrying platters full of assorted beverages and fucking huge Erdinger glasses (which are approximately 3 meters high and weigh as much as the core of a dying star) for 9 straight hours is really fun. Rave: -Tonight is the last one in the six consecutive night shifts. - Hooray for drunken, coked up Irish guys who pay 20 euro's for a beer. - I don't have to split my tip with anybody. And the tips have been really fucking good. Sunshine really makes people more generous.
Rave: Three weeks from now I will be finished with the semester and moved into my new place! Rant: The next three weeks will crawl along at an ungodly slow pace. Rave: Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. It's the perfect peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Nom nom nom!
RAVE: My family and I, including my sister and mother, were supposed to go to Disney in November but my sister backed out last night because she needs the money for a new car. Why is this a rave? Because now I don't have to be trapped for 10 days in Disney with Asperger's boy. That may sound cruel, but it would have been a waste of money. He can't enjoy stuff like that because of all his issues and problems and anytime we do anything with him it ends up being all about him and his behavior, and our other son doesn't get to enjoy things as much. It just becomes an exhausting, emotionally draining hell ride. RANT: My wife still wants to go on a vacation and doesn't want to save and invest the money like I do. RAVE: The vacation will be a LOT cheaper, limited to one or two days, and I can probably talk her into saving and investing some of the money. RANT: Spring Recess starting at 12:30 this afternoon and lasting for a week.
Rave: You're right. I get them every. single. time. Must be my tight pants, amazing junk, and a high percentage of homosexual TSA agents. Or something like that. I like to whisper, "Frisk me, I'm frisky" when they give me the old inseam measurement/pat down. Rant: My boss is a cunt. Insisted I come in today for engineering meetings and sales forecast reviews only to announce that whoops, he was leaving at noon to pick his son up at the airport and "might not" make it back to the office today. Bitch I had to reschedule customer visits because you NEEDED me in the office. Motherfucker. Guess who's going to make a point of walking out right behind him with a packed briefcase when he leaves... Rave: ... Me. Calling an early day. It's some kind of holiday or something that my people celebrate I think. Yeah that's it. Hiking and a couple cold ones on the peak sounds better than being up in dis bitch anyways.
Rave: I just had Bojangles chicken for the first time. I'm not enough of a connoisseur to say definitively that it's better or worse than Popeye's or KFC (I'm tending towards Popeye's) but that biscuit was amazing. Rant: I ordered the chicken strips which were decently flavored if somewhat on the small side, but I was eating them out of the box without really looking and as I was eating what I THOUGHT was my penultimate chicken strip, I was thinking about the ideal ratio of honey mustard to chicken strip for my last one. I wanted to go out on a high note. Only I reached in the box...and there were no more chicken strips. I think a little part of me died at that moment.
Rave: not much traffic today, I can go to lunch at noon in central Phoenix today and will not have to wait to be seated.
Rant: At work all day today. I am the only one here besides the telephone repair guy. All of the work I am catching up on is repetitive and extremely boring. Rant: I realized this week how boring I have become. All I have to talk about lately is home improvement stuff. No one wants to hear about how awesome of a paint job my mailbox has or how many trees I cut down this weekend. At least I am getting gray hair to go along with my old man hobbies. Maybe next week I can buy a corvette and chase 18 year olds.
I will make this a third one Rant: Fucking hell, they better not fuck this shit up, the went 3-0 now 3-2, only the canucks can fuck that shit up, besides 2 other teams in history or something like that.
RANT: Another flash flood watch for my county and the surrounding ones. 1-2 inches of rainfall doesn't sound like a lot to me, but at this point it won't take much. Both the town center I work in and my apartment complex are on higher ground than their surroundings, but I would really hate to be trapped at work. During the rain we had the other day, the road between work and home was blocked off because of flooding. This road sits between a park with baseball fields, and a massive runoff reservoir. The reservoir was (and still is) filled a good 10-15 feet higher than usual, and the fields across the street resembled rice paddies more than anything else. News stations were even reporting police scanner traffic calling for a boat to assist in helping a trapped car, and one of the guys I know said his buddy had called him about cars floating in a parking lot a couple towns over. Fuck, does anything about Ohio NOT suck?
I have two whole days in a row off. Like, I actually get to leave work tonight and NOT return until MONDAY afternoon. This is practically unheard of. So huge rave. Plus I got super cute and cool knee socks last week and I'm finally wearing them to work.
