Rave: Got my eyes LASIK-ed. For the first time in 24 years I don't have to depend on corrective lenses. Rave: Finally found Sriracha sauce (at a costco) Rant: Nearly got Sriracha in my eye the day after surgery. Shoulda kept the sunglasses they provided on.
Rant: TMobile finally sent me over the edge, so in my stubborn disregard for necessities, I let my service get shut off. Rave: Next weekend I will have a nifty newfangled phone to drop repeatedly. Any reviews of "smartphones" would be appreciated. Rant: I have to go to court Wednesday morning in Grand Junction, meaning I have to head down there tomorrow afternoon. Waste of two days, they had better have the results this time, damnit. Rave: I've been buying some beauty products that were dirt cheap and flipped them for 150% profit. I could always use some more money. TMobile won't get a fucking cent of it.
Rant: huge hospital bills suck. Bigger rant: three drinks. It only took three drinks to render me completely unconscious And unresponsive in the bar's bathroom floor. After spending over ten minutes trying to bring me out of it...the Guy had them call an ambulance. Goddamn. Edit...the tattoo was covered, and as far as I'm aware I wasn't drugged. We have really no idea what happened.
I'll link you a review separately [unfortunately most tech sites are blocked here so be patient] but it's looking like the Samsung Galaxy S2 is pretty much the top of the heap right nowl Rant: Steam still not working. I want my video games Rave: Oh well I spent the weekend playing Sonic 3 Rant: I spent an entire weekend playing Sonic 3.
Rant: I'm burnt to a crisp. It really hurt in the shower this morning. Staying inside the next couple of days and applying the quantities of lotion that are used by an adolescent male between the ages of 12 and 18. Rave: Warrior Dash was a fucking blast. Worth it.
Rant: How the fuck can you not know the year of your own car???!!!! How the hell do you expect me to quote you a car insurance policy without the year of your car??!!!! Oh, AND you don't know your current policy coverages?! Do you expect me to pull a number out of my ass or something? Rave: Awesome weekend. Nice and relaxing.
Rave First clinical internship this week Rant Started out with staring at the wall for an hour because there was fuck all to do and the doctors had to do their paperwork Rave I'll at least be drawing some blood tomorrow morning and maybe I can go see some cardiac catherizations
Got the word this past Saturday that I got the second side job I was after. Low level commercial collections work but it might help with the bills and loans and get me some helpful training and experience. Woo! Growing up I never expected to be the man with three jobs.
RAVE: Birthday today!!!!!!! RANT: Last night during my birthday dinner at this amazing little place in midtown I felt my stomach seize, which turned into a flood of acid pouring out my backside the rest of the night. Food poisoning, fuck yourself. On my birthday, fuck yourself harder. RAVE: My sweet boyfriend took care of me and was truly epic while I was crying and whining about how much pain I was in. I am so disgustingly in love with him it's almost as sickening as this stomach AIDS mess. RANT: The boy also got a touch of food poisoning as well. Unlike me, who could take the day off, he was due in court and nobody could cover for him. Poor, poor boy.
Rave: Gotta post twice on the same day. You guys are all absolutely awesome. It's amazing how a random smattering of people on the internet can be so awesome and so completely cool to someone they've never met before. This place is like none other I've ever seen. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!! Even you guys in the visual R&R thread...
Rant: Go fuck yourself you young, self entitled, useless twat. Made a comment in jest to a girl who had just turned 18 that yay! she could pay her own bills now and also vote! yay adulthood. Her response? "Oh. Voting. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever do that. I think it's stupid and I don't care about any of that stuff anyway." only twice since I started working here have I ever walked away from the front desk when dealing with a customer. Today was the third time.
Nerdy rave: A company needed us to create a new user account for their network. Her name is Ana Lea. The naming convention is first name last initial. anal@companyname.com How unfortunate for her.
Rant My daughter has pink eye in both eyes. And severe bronchitis. And an infection in her toe (the one that had roast beef) from having a large rock dropped on it. God, if you exist then why do you hate my kid so much? Born three months early. H1N1. RSV twice. Head-on car accident. Chest/head colds 150 days out of the year. Pneumonia. Jaundice. One more on her punch card and I can get a free foot long sub.
I have been married now for 13 years today. Almost to the minute, in fact. She is not here and will not be here until next Monday so I am unable to celebrate this in the traditional fashion.
Rant: It sucks coming to terms with yourself and realizing you are completely and utterly unremarkable and destined to live a life that isn't .0003% of what you hoped for yourself. Rave: The next town over has a pretty awesome library. Inter-library loan with no fees or postage, great air conditioning, and quite a bit of room. They were also selling used books, so I picked up Suttree, Child of God, and Outer Dark up for 25 cents a piece. If it wasn't 30 miles away I would spend quite a bit of time there.
RANT: A one-mile bike ride is all it took to make my brother pass out. He got a bike today and wanted to go riding, so we went maybe a full mile with a single mildly steep hill. We get back, he leans up against a car, says "Hold on, the blood is rushing to my head." Then he went slack, head back, blank unfocused gaze, and jerked. If I hadn't grabbed him, he would have gone down face first onto the concrete. I thought he was having a fucking seizure at first. And why does this happen? It's because he sits on his ass all day playing XBOX, thinks that one meal a day is sufficient for a 6"+ 16 year old, and considers walking to the shower and letting the dogs out to be good exercise. I keep telling him to eat more, but he doesn't listen.
