    Rave: bonus + performance multiplier, a decent raise, and arranged for a promotion at the mid-year review in May.

    Sah-weet.

    RANT: So tired of eating soup, yogurt or pudding. These damn empty wisdom teeth sockets need to hurry up and heal. I've lost a ton of weight and haven't worked out in a week.

    Rave?: Looks like I'll be getting this all on the 15th for some odd reason, damn near tripling my normal pay.

    Rant: Between being the best man in a wedding in Florida (and handling the bachelor party), going to at least 3 local weddings, a trip to Taiwan and a trip to Vegas next year I really can't spend this money on anything fun right now.

    RAVE: Living in North Carolina where termites are everywhere, we decided to do some preventative maintenance and hire Terminex to treat our house and get a warranty. Thankfully we caught a couple bad issues before they had a chance to do any damage. We're now treated and fully covered for any future problems for the next few years.

    RANT: The worker here today was working out back near our crawlspace. I heard the drilling stop. Not long later, I second guy shows up and I see out my window him jog towards the back. I go down to see what's up. The first guy is a bit shaken. He encountered a copperhead in the crawl. He called a co-worker who isn't afraid of snakes, etc. to come help out. The first guy switched jobs and the other guy stayed. Couldn't find the snake so he just kept working. I was sitting here freaking out that there is a rogue copperhead below my fucking living room floor somewhere. Holy shit!

    RAVE: This guy ended up finding the snake and taking its head off.

    It's a young one only 2 feet long or so, but still a goddamn PIT VIPER!!! I offered to go pick him up some lunch for "eliminating the threat." Also offered a bottle of scotch or to go pick him up whatever the hell he wanted. He turned it all down and went back to work like it was nothing.

    RANT: I don't and will never have balls big enough to take on any poisonous snake like that regardless of the snakes size. He said he does varmint, snake, bee, possum, etc. removal on the side outside of his job at Terminex. I asked if he had cards or anything as I'll pass his name onto every single damn person I know in the area.

    RANT: Fuck online dating in its dirty diseased asshole.

    For that matter, fuck dating. Or maybe the problem is living in Ohio.. I know what M4A1's answer to that would be, and he might be right.

    RANT: Online dating and regular dating for that matter can all go fuck off and die. I now remember why I fucking despise people and all the bullshit involved with this shit.

    RAVE: Got the pinewood derby cars for my son, my daughter and I tonight. Picked up an extra one for R&D.

    RANT: I have got to find some new music to listen to. I have about 100GBs of music, and I'm tired of all of it.

    Rant: This helo I fly is insanely complicated. Endless systems, interlocks, connections, valves, checks, sensors, pressure readings, min/max/normal/precautionary temps/psi/limits...an unyielding amount of stuff to remember. And after two months of studying, I still feel like I know half of what I should.

    Rave?: First flight may be next Thursday. Could be bad because I go on ten day Christmas leave the very next day and will forget everything I learned.

    Rant: Just today I started suspecting the girl I've been talking to for the past couple months is pushing me away. This really shouldn't bother me at all since we're not 'together' but it does, and no sir, I don't like it.

    RANT/RAVE: Marriage and family is simultaneously the one of the most horrifically horrible yet beautiful things you can experience. It's quite perverse how it can flux so easily.

    Rant: Went to the dentist this morning. He referred me to an endodontist. Says I have an infection and thinks a root canal thru the crown isnecessary. But, He gave me Rxs for Vicodin and amoxicillin. Haven't been this buzzed on opioids Since I brokle my wrist. Shit always happen when school is insane.

    Time to go break in the new Kliptsch headphones with some Pink Floyd.

    RANT: Toonie swim (two one dollar bills swim, in American) at the pool might as well just be called filthy hippie swim. I keep forgetting that it happens every Thursday night at 8, and then I keep remembering when I'm there and dread lock beard man comes in. Highlights included:

    -Well, dread lock beard man, obviously.

    -Two separate, simultaneous conversations about "energy" and "chi" in the sauna.

    -One guy talking about his revolutionary idea that will replace backpacks. Everybody will have four bags, two large and two medium; that way, whenever you go out, you can put one large on one side, two mediums on the other, a medium on each side, or two large bags on each side. Whatever best suits your needs that day. It's all about balance, man. And no more wallets, just "pocket belts."

    -NO shaved female armpits.

    -One girl with huge tits. She wasn't a hippie, either. Oh, RAVE I guess.

    Rant: My sleep schedule is fucked thanks to my senior design class.

    Monday - Stayed up until 4 in the morning, woke up 3 hours later at 7.
    Tuesday - Did not sleep finishing up project.
    Wednesday - Crashed hard. Slept from 5 to 10 at night. Woke up and hung out with the girlfriend for a couple of hours. Went back to sleep at 3 in the morning. Woke up at 3 in the afternoon on Thursday. Thats 17 hours of sleep in a day.

    Now it's Friday morning and I still can't fall asleep thanks to the massive accidental amount of sleep I got. It's 6 in the morning and I'm wide awake just fucking about waiting to get sleepy. I've got major finals next Monday and Tuesday and I need to correct this by then.

    Rave: Stress relieving blow jobs. Nothing better.

    Rant: This weekend will be nothing but studying, but after next Tuesday I don't have anything until January. Whee.

    Rant: Except grad school applications, which I've barely started. Shit.

    Rant: Do people not have the ability to read any longer? I sent out an email to my group to answer a colleague's question and another co-worker replied to all from my email with the same information that was in my email.

    Sports Rave: My favourite hockey team just traded an aging but still able defenseman for one of my favourite players who played for two of our rivals for the last forever...

    Rant: While I love Kaberle, he has fucking sucked this year and the end of last. It's not a good trade, despite how much I like Kaberle.
