Rave: I came to this thread and tried to think of things to rant about, and I got nothing. Rave: 21st next weekend, I can join you all in legally downing large amounts of intoxicating beverages. Rave: Tomorrow A Dance with Dragons comes out, so I'm going to be spending the next two days or so reading that every single moment I'm not at work...and while I am at work. Rave: Payday in 4 days, I would love to see my bank account boosted.
Rave Started work at the airport yesterday and already got more hours than I was expecting over two weeks. Even better, I have more work scheduled for the week. Rant Transfer student orientation today. I'm glad I've done the things that I have in regards to working and traveling, but being the oldest in every class kinda sucks.
UPDATED RANT: I went for the CT Scans (drinking the shit was nasty, they mixed the Barium into water, so I had to drink a liter of what had the flavor of swamp water), just seen a surgeon and he says my appendix is NFG. I'm going under the knife tonight at 5:00pm or so. I'm off work for a week, and have to be on light duty for 6 weeks. Its fucking bullshit. WORSE THEN SURGERY RANT: My fucking hospital room neighbors suck. So far 4 of them have pissed themselves, 2 have shit the bed, and the lady whose curtain is right next to mine was telling the doctor about her vaginal infection in great detail. I almost fucking puked when she described something comming out of her twat that closely resembled cottage cheese. Did I mention not one of them is under 60 years old? I can't even strike up a conversation with these assholes. RAVE: A junkie came in earlier yelling something about Methadone. The security guys came over and escorted him out. RANT: Sadly they didn't beat the fuck out of him with their night sticks, even after me yelling out "kick his ass seabass." RAVE: this situation might have an upside. The girl is a nurse and said she'd "take care of me" until I got better. Say hello to blow jobs until I'm healthy enough for sex. I think I might have to milk this for all its worth.
Yet another heatwave-related rant: The blower motor on one of the furnace units crapped out yesterday morning (why does shit like this always happen on a weekend?). Our house is a single-level open-concept design where the family room, kitchen, living room and dining room are all open. The master bedroom suite flanks the living room and dining room and these rooms are cooled/heated by one unit, and the other 3 bedrooms flank the family room and are cooled/heated by the other unit (as is the kitchen). Fortunately, the master bedroom side unit is the one that's still working, so our bedroom was comfortable for sleeping last night. My office however (one of the other 3 bedrooms) could have doubled for an oven yesterday. Rave: American Home Shield warranty service. Estimate to replace unit: $2,600. Cost to me: $60. Rant: We didn't buy into this service sooner--like before I had to replace the other furnace and both AC units.
Rave: the weather sucks, but it would suck worse if it didn't rain every single day of the month. Heat index of 105. Yay Alabama....
Rant/Rave: I got good and angry, almost irrationally angry, for the first time in awhile this afternoon. And now I feel GREAT. I don't think this is normal.
Rave: Got another night this week to run a milling machine and smoke some cigars with one of my bosses in his garage. He invented the product I sell now in this garage. It is a special place for invention. Rave: Less than a month left of my summer class. I hate it and will be happy to never walk into Blegen Hall again.
Rave: Finally found a new dentist and she's awesome. I didn't leave feeling like my mouth hosted a destruction derby inside. Rave: I take care of my teeth, but it's been a while since I've gone to the dentist, so I wasn't sure what they'd find. I shared this sentiment with my girlfriend as well. When I left the office, I texted her and the following conversation happened: Spoiler Me: So, that was horrible gf: Oh no. What happened? Me: I bled like there was an aborted fetus in my mouth, she cautiously asked me if I had been smoking meth, I have irreversible periodontal disease, and she's pretty sure I have oral cancer... gf: Oh my God! What do you have to do now? Me: ...Then she prayed for me to a God I had never heard of, set the counter on fire with Listerine, and lept out of the window. But hey, free dental appointment, right? gf: WHAT??? Me: Babe... (5 minutes go by) gf: FUCK off I love her, but sometimes she's really gullible--mostly when I overtly joke about serious health conditions. Rant: Something about a boy and the wolf he was calling...
Additional Rant: Now the fucker is streaming his "webcam'd up" house on his work computer so he can keep an eye on his kids. Not a problem other than every time one of his kids makes a move he has to ask them what they're doing... loudly AND every time they answer, they answer equally as loudly. This is going to have to stop. Someone point me to where I can block webcam streaming or his ip address or something. And people wonder why I don't want kids.
Rave: Spent the afternoon at the pool, alternating between throwing the kids and laying out reading. Rant: I remember to put sunblock on the kids, not me though. My legs are fucking burnt. Damnit. Rave: Surprising Mr. P with dinner and Horrible Bosses. We never go to the theater, it's too damn expensive. But I have to see Charlie Day on the big screen.
Rave: My classes are at their fullest ever. Even the 6 a.m. is full. This is excellent because it means more money for mama. Rant: I'm an idiot. Rave: My new Lulu bag should be here soon. This means I won't carry a rucksack around anymore. Rant: That blend of wine I was drinking last night left me feeling a little fuzzy headed this morning, so I drank part of a Red Bull. That shit tastes like the devil's asshole - carbonated. What in God's name possessed me to think I could stomach it, I can't begin to explain. UGH.
Rave: One of the reasons you shouldn't go swimming in the Adelaide River, NT, AUS. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.news.com.au/travel/australia/m-saltwater-croc-brutus-photographed-on-adelaide-river-jumping-croc-cruises/story-e6frfq89-1226092924868" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.news.com.au/travel/australia ... 6092924868</a>
