Rave: Woke up today feeling focused. That's a lie, I've woken up the last few days feeling focused, but today is the first day I've not been too busy to do anything about it. Rant: Worked a show this weekend that was full of bitchy, vindictive prima donnas and despised every minute of being in their presence. Of the 10 hours I worked yesterday these people were around for about 6 or 7 hours of it and I wanted to strangle them all. Rave: It was only like 3 people out of the whole crowd and after they left the remaining people were cool as fuck. I even had a girl insist on getting my phone number. I deferred her until next week, my girlfriend is out of town and I don't feel like putting myself in this situation until she's back. Plus why cheat when I might be looking at potentially another threesome? (and not the kind with more than one dick in the mix) Rave: Oh, I hadn't mentioned it before but I've been dating this girl for a year now, and the first day of us officially dating I managed to wrangle a threesome with a random chick we met and the option for it to happen again has been officially left open since that day. Rave: Ok more importantly I carried this focused feeling today into emailing a professor that seems to share a lot of my diverse interests, he teaches a lot of courses on subjects that I spend my free time researching. Hopefully we can meet and see if we can work out something. Hopefully if he isn't looking for a grad student, he can at least point me in the right direction to find someone with similar academic focus who is. Rant: 3 more days until my gf gets back from her trip to her parents.
Rant: The wife goes back to work tomorrow, which means it will be 12 hour days of taking care of the kid without help. We've been spoiled so far in that she's had 8 weeks of maternity leave, and we've gotten a lot of time to take care of the kid together. Rave: Luckily, taking care of the daughter isn't too bad, and it will give me some quality time with her. Plus, my parents and her parents are both only minutes away and have said they want more time with their granddaughter if I need a break.
Rave: Apartment is approved and work has approved me living off base so I move into the place on Friday. Less than 1km walk from four or five pubs. Rave: Played two A grade games of hockey over the weekend without embarrassing myself too much. Need a better grip for when it rains and better shoes so I don't slide about so much. Rave: After country champs this long weekend I'm going to drive down and surprise the old folks.
Rant: I keep catching whiffs of skunk. This means that either one of my dogs rolled in one, or one sprayed somewhere close to my house. Given how badly the dogs freaked out an hour ago to get outside, it could be either/or.
RANT: I am smoking the worst weed anybody has ever seen north of the Mexican border. I'm pretty sure it's just ground up pine cones. RAVE: I live in Vancouver, BC. I shall remedy this tomorrow. I really don't know why I've waited this long.
rave: I only work until noon! rant: then I have to adderall up and study for my abnormal psych final tomorrow. rant: my contacts are bothering me, so all of studying will have to be done in my dork glasses that are too heavy for my face.
RANT I hate everything and anything today. This includes, but is not limited to my job, my co workers, traffic, that horrible but overplayed you don't know you're beautiful song, Fruity pebbles, and puppy dogs. Stupid hormones.
Rant: Working with old people. How many times do I have to show you how to fill out an online freight form? It does not change, yes you're doing it wrong again. Also, don't do a print screen, they actually have a tab that opens the bill of lading in a PDF format that is what you print, they will not accept a print screen. No, they won't. They don't care if you can't figure it out, neither do I. Tell you what we'll do, just let me do it from now on. No, it won't take me that long, it will save time and it will be worth it to maintain my sanity.
Rant: Sure-fire way to make a day the shittiest it can be? Miss your morning dose of ADHD and thyroid meds. And to make it worse, I was at a conference going from session to session in smaller conference rooms that need better AC. By 10:30 am yesterday, I wanted to go get a room in the hotel and just crash. Rave: Didn't miss taking them this morning, conference ended at noon, and I'm working from home this afternoon.
@ Joe: Buddy, life's too short to smoke shwag. Throw that shit out. Ravish Follow up to aforementioned Rave regarding 'Get shit done resume:' Led to an all but certain offer making roughly double my salary. Rant/Rave Upon further explanation, and a conversation with the Hiring Manager; the position deviates from the career path I'm currently on. I'd be in a functional consultant / pre-sales role. Without going into too much detail about what I'm doing now. This is a career U-Turn. The internal recruiter said I was a 'fantastic candidate,' and asked if she could approach me at a later date when something came up more in line with my interests. Rant I've already paid for a 10 day trip to Hawaii in July that's been on the books for over a year now. If I took that, want me to go to some 8 week program back east. That's going to be a confliction right there. The girlfriend would lose her shit. Rant If I did this, I'd have to teach the girlfriend how to care / maintain a 150 gal saltwater reef tank. My priceless SPS corals would surely die.
Rant & Rave Thread Rant: apartment just got broken into this afternoon. Gone is my MacBook and the boyfriend's Xbox. People suck.
Rant/Rave/Whichever is bad: 99.9% certainty that the fiancee and I are done. I keep thinking about my daughter. I don't know what to do.
Rant: I don't know how long this shedding period is supposed to take. A month? I hope less. I have been vacuuming up gobs and gobs of hair every single day, sometimes twice a day, for the past 2 weeks. And he isn't even shaggy or long haired! I have to empty out my (albeit, small) vacuum every single day. He should be bald at the rate he's going.
RANT/RAVE?: After checking out the Tibbette thread, I have this urge to go work out. RANT: Seeing pics of topless guys makes me want to work out.
Rant: Computer is on it's last leg. The battery is so dead that it has to be plugged in or it will die which is fine but now the hole where the charge cord plugs into is loose and sloppy a slight bump will shut my computer down. The shitty part is it's an alright computer being three years old and it still has XP which is great because I can work on it, where the 7 I don't have a fucking clue about. The hard part is I don't follow technology too much anymore so I don't know what's good or shit now. I'm pretty much looking for a computer to download and watch movies so a big HD would be good, it dosen't have to be that fast because I just watch online porn, check Facebook, watch movies and check emails on it. Maybe play Starcraft 2 but thats about it. Any help would be appreicated.
Rave: I got to see Venus transit the sun. $2 worth of shade glass and a cheap telescope can do wonders.
Dear anxiety attack: No no. It's cool. You just hang around all day and make my stomach knot up. That's perfectly fine. In all honesty, it's been so long since you and I have spent any time together that I almost didn't recognize you. Thanks for reminding me how utterly shitty you can make my day.
