Rant: Fuck me for choosing to sign up for so many classes. It was miserable, though bearable, throughout the semester. The end of the semester is no laughing matter, however. This week I have last exams in 4 classes, and next week I have 6 FINAL exams (which means mostly cumulative). Rave: Fiance is coming into town Friday! He's going to be pumped to go scuba diving. I still haven't told him, I've just teased him mercilessly. Rant: Fiance in town during finals week. Seriously, the military has a knack...
Rant: Poor squirrel. Saw him twitching on the ground on the median outside my house. If I had sturdy gloves I'd at least try to move him to the side of the road. I'm not some goofy animal lover, but that shit really ruined my day. I could clearly see him struggling to get up, since it's right by the turn into my neighborhood.
Rant: I was on call this weekend and got a page at 10:00 PM on Saturday. 4 hours later, I was finished and was back at my house an hour after that. The next morning, I got another page at 8 AM. Couldn't get back to sleep until I passed out in the middle of Up at 5 in the afternoon on Sunday. Woke up at 10 PM, went back to sleep at 2 AM. Woke up at 7 this morning for work. I'm going to take a handful of melatonin and chase it with a shot of NyQuil tonight. Rave: Archer.
Rave: Refinanced our mortgage. No points, it's only 3.5 years longer than what we had left on the existing mortgage, and reduced our payments by $700/month. And, a buddy handled the title insurance and saved us over $500 on their leeching fees. Rave: Semester is almost over. I give a presentation tomorrow night, 2 more papers and 1 final left after that. Then, 3 weeks off until summer session and another 3 classes (one of which is a psychopharmacology class--I wonder if there will be "Show n' Tell"?) Rant: The between-semester to-do list has now expanded to a second page. Rave: At least I outsourced the fence-staining. 1500 linear feet of 6' wood fencing on each side plus the patio cover. Fuck that.
Rave: Two weeks of this semester left, which translates to one presentation, re-writing one paper, and writing 3 more papers, and taking 3 final exams. I cannot wait for this shit to be over. Rant: Spent 5 hours today at work, where they're painting and re-carpeting the store I just started at. This involves boxing up all the movies, moving shelves outside so they can be painted, and removing everything from the walls. I am tired as hell, and my legs and back are killing me from moving that shit around. Rave: I packed up the "adult" room. I am honestly astonished at how many porn flicks that place has. Rant: After the first five minutes in there, any comedic aspect of boxing those movies wore off and it was just more of the same.
RAVE!!! I just spent my entire paycheck on wheels and replacement parts for my car. RAVE!! The wheels are sexy. Rant: Gotta spend another $800 on some new tires. Rave: I have more than enough cash saved up for this upgrade. It's been a while since I spent a lot on anything and my car definitely deserves it, she's been neglected as of late.
RAVE: Just fixed the pulley that broke on my car. Supercharger works again. Boost is good. RANT: That's a part that should not have broken. I don't know why it did. I'm hoping the part just went bad over time, and it's not a symptom of bigger problems.
Rant: My Abraham weighs 100lbs. ONE HUNDRED!!! He's fat as a pig because he steals his brother's food. He's on a diet for the foreseeable future. Damned dogs.
Spoiled for something that made me fume but that you will probably think is stupid. Spoiler Rant: I very rarely splurge on items for myself. I thought that, hey, since I'm going to be cramming for an exam, why not splurge on a nice latte? Fuck Java city. Your products suck and you don't require that your baristas learn how to make drinks properly. If I'm spending more than 3 bucks on motherfucking coffee, it better taste decent, at bare minimum. It should not taste like cigarette butts with steamed milk thrown on top. (normally I'd be fine with requesting someone to tweak my drink, but that girl was surrounded by her friends at the counter. "Oh," She bragged, "wanna know the secret to all these drinks? They are so easy to make, they're all about the same.") /firstworldproblems
RANT: You guys just HAD to get Bin Laden right before the Canadian federal election, didn't you? THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR DAY!!! RANT: I'm trying to learn more about Canadian politics, but it's just so. boring.
RAVE: Garden is weeded and fertilized, paths are tamped down, trellis planters are built, pots are filled with potting soil, and we have a battle plan for planting this year. RANT: Seedling selection was absolute shit this week. Going to hold up planting for a bit.
RANT: Fuck it. In addition to not smoking for the last 12 hours, I'll take sleeping pills. That's how desperate I am just to rest and quit coughing this shit up. The hangover effect will suck, but I''d rather sleep 12 hours than 1. Pretty sure I have a lung/chest infection, which is great, because it's not like I also need teeth pulled so my gums will quit bleeding. (Overcrowding YEAH) It definitely doesn't help that I'm still living check to check despite working my ass off all fucking week, and I can't go work my second job because God can't stop pissing a flood on this shit state for more than two hours. Even better , I'm still working for an idiot of a boss who thinks that the best way to make everything perfect is to yell at the people who are trying to do their goddamn jobs and get in their way and generally piss them off, whilst rewarding or ignoring the people who get paid to talk shit, spread rumors, and make MORE work for the people who are doing work. And then the hardworking people catch more shit: "Hey, mijo, why you didn't clean this up for me and make it look all good gue? Why you not make sure this all ready to go, so I don't have to come and see if it's all good huh?" "Because I didn't even know that was there, and I just spent the past hour listening to you bitch me out about shit that's beyond my control or responsibility, you stupid fucking whorecunt." I fucking hate everything right now.
Rave: CVS's generic version of Zyrtec. I had been trying everything to battle these seasonal alergies and this stuff finally did the trick. No tired medicine head the next morning and no swollen sinuses. Plus it's like $15 less per bottle than the normal Zyrtec.
Rave: After a long, nerve-wrecking day, I've never been this happy about a girlfriend getting her period. Rant/Rave: Westboro Baptist church will be protesting down the road from me. Does anybody have any questions they would like me to politely ask them?
Rant More rain and flooding up here. Obviously this weather is nothing compared to what some people have, but god damn it makes me tired and unmotivated. Not what I need heading into finals week. All I want to do is lay around, drink, and watch movies. This isn't good.
Rant: just walked into a low doorframe, knocked me on my ass, saw bright lights. Have huge bruise on my forehead and split the bridge of my nose. I am currently covered in blood.
