Rant:I'm going to start backhanding people at my gym. More times than I care to count, there's a conversation that goes something like this: "How do I x (where x is put on weight, lift more, lose weight, whatever)" "Well, you should do y (drink a half gallon of milk, squat and deadlift, etc.) "Well I don't like y." (Me thinking) "So fuck off then." Rave: Ghost in the Shell: SAC box set arrived today! There goes my weekend.
Rant: I believe the worst feeling in the world is sitting down on a public toilet and feeling the residual ass heat on the seat from a stranger's recently-completed defecation.
Rant: Colombian food is fucking TERRIBLE. Easily my least favorite cuisine of all time. Rave: The most popular liquor here is called aguardiente, and the most popular brand is called Cristal. Also, 1 American dollar equals roughly 1700 Colombian pesos. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am making six figures a week and popping Crist every time I go out.
RANT: Pizza from 7-11. RAVE: It was so old, the guy gave it to me for free! EDIT: RAVE: Sometimes when I'm drunk on TiB I like to give "RED DOT FOR NO REASON!!!"s, and so poor Arthur Dent up there just went from 12 to -3. Now everyone's going to think he's an asshole! Bwahaha!
RANT: I have exams today. Yuck. But... RAVE: I'll be one semester closer to graduation in just over 4 hours! RANT: My vacation to Asheville was abruptly cancelled yesterday due to someone's church commitments. RAVE: Instead, I'll be going to the last showing of Shakespeare's complete (abridged) works at the Shakespeare Tavern this weekend, and then up to Bristol, TN, for NASCAR in a couple weeks. First, something somewhat refined, and then I can finally experience all that is Southern redneck culture. And roller derby championships are just around the corner. RAVE X2: Pinkcup might be venturing down to Atlanta with her dude soon, to visit me and Pink Candy. Yayyyyyy! RAVE X3: My birthday is in three weeks. Shit had better turn out to be less disastrous than the last two.
Rant: O-chem final today. Today is a no good day. I'm worried, my stomach is killing me, and I am tired. I really hope I pass....
Rave Boss is out for the next two days, and I have no meetings scheduled. Sleep in? Leave early? Three-martini lunch? Ya sure, you betcha! Rave The longest dry spell I ever had was during a LTR - the single life is GREAT! Rant Two weeks of vacation? That's it? I'd be willing to take a cut in pay if it meant more time away from the office - I want to travel while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.
Rant: I only got 3-4 hours of sleep and I have absolutely nobody to blame but myself. Nerdy rant: I've got a massive RFID card reader deployment project at one client's factory while simultaneously hoping that the SBS 2003 to 2011 migration I did last night doesn't shit the bed. I'm especially worried about the latter, mostly because it's my first SBS migration and like all good bosses, mine threw me into the deep end this project without a lifejacket. Thanks, asshole. The only good thing about this experience is that in the future, I'll semi-know what I'm doing instead of completely not knowing what I'm doing.
RAVE: Patriots get Albert Haynesworth. RARRGH FOOTBALLLLLLLLLLLLLL RANT: I'm unproductive as a motherfucker. Do one little thing a day...
Rave! Totally hammered. We qre the only 4 people ing the bar. A group of 2 girls and 2 guye come in. One of the girls recognizes my friend qnd comes over. He introduces her as 'that girl I told you about who met a guy in a bar, and in the course of helping him shelve a pill ended up fisting him'. I crack up, and she says 'yeah, that guy was looser thab,me after my kid'. Hahaha.
Rave: My garden is the balls. Nothing better than fresh veggies from your own patch of soil fertilized by your toil (and lime, bone meal, etc of course). Better still my mother, a super-gardener was very impressed by my raised beds and veggie selection. I'm happy I inherited the green thumb. Rant: Uppity friends who get upset when they aren't invited somewhere. I wanted to have dinner with a couple I haven't seen in months. Just me and them. One of them posted a "can't wait to catch up Friday night" on my Facebook. Now I have other friends texting me about what's going on on Friday night, or did they miss the invite. Everyone doesn't need to go everywhere together. Fuck.
Rant Who the fuck makes apps and programs for iPods/Pads, but not for the Mac operating systems? Don't tell me you love your Macs, and used them to make the apps, but I have to buy other BS software to run the PC version on my laptop. God damnit.
Rant: Timesheets. Easily the most annoying part of my job. How I long for the days where I can clock in, clock out, and just do my job without accounting for every 15 minute block. Damn consultancy. Rave: Every few months, I contemplate quitting my job and have even sat down and drafted my resignation letter once or twice. My letters have never come close to this: http://gawker.com/5824287/read-a-disgruntled-whole-foods-employees-epic-resignation-letter Brilliant.
Rant: I suffer from laziness. I am my own boss. On a long enough timeline, only one of those will stay true. Help.
Rant: Experiment in the lab went to shit this week. Rave: Wasn't anything to do with me! Rave: Swing music channel on pandora. Rant: I'm being really lazy today, I should be at work, but I'm at home in my underwear. I have to eat, shower, and be at work in the next two minutes. I think I'll just be late. Rave: Golf this weekend. I played last week for the first time ever on a Par 5 course and shot a 52 on the front 9. The few people I've talked to seemed really impressed I was able to do that, so hey. I need to buy my own clubs. Any tips on club selection would be appreciated.
Rant I applied for new health insurance a week ago, someone from the insurance called me yesterday and said that in the past I had admitted to drug use and was denied insurance 10 years ago because of that and they were concerned, I assured them it was only experimentation. This morning I get a call from a nurse who wants to come by my office in 30 minutes and do a brief checkup. She comes to my office, weighs me, measures me, takes my blood pressure, takes my blood, makes me pee in a cup and asked me 30 questions. They are going to do a full drug panel screen, HIV test etc. Rave my wife and my insurance premium will drop about $300 per mont Rant still would have $5000.00 deductible and no maternity coverage, stupid fucking medical insurance
Super Mega Huge Rave: Today is my 4 year anniversary with the wife. As a present, I got her a big upgrade to her wedding band. As a present, she showed me a positive pregnancy test. She wins. Minor Rant: I know I'm not supposed to tell anyone, and we're supposed to wait three months before saying anything, but I needed to say something to someone somewhere, or my head might've exploded (hence the reason I am telling a fairly anonymous message board where no one knows me in real life). She wants to tell people, too. Keeping this secret until Ocotber won't be easy, and my wife has an awful poker face.
Rant: I have to poop and there's no opportunity for that for the next few hours. I'm at a friends house waiting for her to finish packing so I can drive her to the airport. I wish I could be the kind of person who could go anywhere. Girls don't poop, but the rare times I do it's always in a bad place. Like the Byron Nelson. Or in the middle of a 10 mile run. Or right before major surgery and I'm nervous that won't be all of it and I'll poop all over everything mid-surgery. Bah!
Rant: My little sister (17) just got into a car accident. She was stuck at a red light with cars surrounding her as an old lady drove straight into the back of her car without breaking and all she could do was watch it happen. I got there just as the old lady was being packed into the ambulance. Rave: Thank god my sister is fine without a scratch. She got shaken up real good and her neck is starting to ache but other than that and maybe some crying, she's fine. Rant: Out of all the cars stuck at that red light, NOBODY stopped to help. Fuck people. Rant/Rave?: family car is wrecked but we all hated it anyway so hoping it works out where my parents get something they like. I guess you people can't appreciate my humor. Still, fuck you.
