    RAVE: Last day at the shittiest job I've ever had. In 30 years of solid employment it was the worst working environment I've ever been subjected to.

    RAVE: Several days off before the new job starts.

    RANT: Starting Friday my sister-in-law's kids are staying for a week. There's 4 of them. The youngest is 5. I plan on drinking. A LOT.

    RANT: I got rear-ended on the freeway on-ramp on my way to work this morning. This on-ramp has issues with people having time to merge. I know this, so I pay attention, and also don't follow to closely.

    RANT: The asshole who hit me drove off as I pulled over. No plates (newly purchased used car, had temp tags) and I barely got the color of the car, let alone a make/model.

    RAVE(ISH): My car only sustained minor damage to the rear bumper (I bet it still costs $1000+ to fix) and I didn't get hurt.

    Rant: Haven't received the security deposit from my old apartment yet, even after being told it was in the mail. Its a good thing I spent only one year in that shithole. At least the management company that owns my current place has been great so far.

    Rave: One of my good buddies is moving here after spending the past few years teaching abroad.

    Rave: Spending this weekend in a cabin on Lake Superior and the weather forecast looks perfect.

    Rant :
    I have skin cancer.
    Rave :
    It's just basal cell carcinoma. So it's easily treated.
    Rant :
    I've been a dumbass and had it for almost ten years.
    There's gonna be a helluva scar on my arm.

    Rave: Moved to my new place and absolutely love it. Lakeview was nice for a few years, but it's so much nicer to have a little breathing room and be in a nicer, cleaner area.

    Rant: Minor ones really. Commute is probably 15-20 minutes longer. At least where I am at, I can get a seat on the Brown Line easily enough.

    Also minor apartment rant - because I was very emphatically told that I had to vacate my old place by noon today, it didn't really give my current property management firm time to really paint/clean the current place. My hats are off to the current property manager and his team as soon as I arrived they were frantically trying to clean as much as possible and do what they could in a very limited time frame.

    Now to focus on the job hunt.........

    Rant: Stopped at a Race Track to get gas on the way home

    HUGE RANT: The guy at the next pump one row over is filling his truck.... and taking a piss next to the truck. There is no mistaking that's what he was doing. He was a foot or two to the left of the tank - it's very clear where the source of this stream that is pooling about his feet is coming from.

    Meh: When he turned around he knew from the look I was giving him that I knew what he was doing. I didn't flinch, just stared at him like he was an asshole.

    HUGE RAVE: Karma / Divine Intervention / Instant Justice - as he was finishing up his oh-so-important phone call he was on while simultaneously filling and pissing somehow he managed to drop his wallet - right into the large puddle of hot piss he created. I laughed - LOUD. He didn't say shit, just hurriedly shook the excess piss from the wallet, threw it in the truck and sped off.
    I can only hope that wallet soaks the seats of his truck, filling it with the fetid aroma of hot, nasty urine.

    Minor rant: I wanted to get pics/video of this asshole in the act, but this whole interaction lasted only about 45 - 60 seconds and when I had gotten out of my truck, I left it on the center arm-rest/console.

    Sigh: Just another reminder I live in the Armpit of America

    RAVE: Bourbon

    Rant: New patient at work was on 90mg of adderall, 4mg of Xanax and a varying amount of oxycodone. And it was all prescribed by her ob gyn. I'm just the front desk bitch but I still feel ethically responsible for reporting her last doctor. This girl had a resting heart rate of 120. It just boggles the mind.

    RANT: laid up for the weekend after surgery. Currently have a uretal stent, which also involves a 8 inch string hanging from my dick. Any time I touch something or move, it tugs and hurts like hell. Also pissing an obscene amount of blood.

    Rave: Laid up on couch watching Simpsons on DVD and trying to relax. Just wish it wasnt for this.

    Rant: If Ronda had won in 211 seconds instead of 34, I would have won 12 grand.

    Rave:
    Still came out $100 up. Pretty easy fight to bet on.

    Rave: Pretty good weekend. Trails were dry enough that I could actually get out and do some mountain biking, and I had some good runs. All the rain we've gotten this summer has meant that I've only gotten out 3 times. Hopefully August is a little dryer. Friend had a party for the Rousey fight, and it was a good time.

    Rant: We get home from the party, and my girlfriend breaks up with me. I never really handle these things well so Sunday was pretty miserable. Hopefully work will be a good distraction this week.

    RANT: It was pound WAY before it was hashtag. Don't pick on old people, hater.

    Oh Frebis. Yes, that too. Mine is more inline with the times although possibly completely incorrect. Details. Whatever.

    Huge Rant: Went to work today and saw my classroom for he first time since last school year, and it is fucking disgusting. They moved all my desks, my computer, my tables, and there is a thin layer of dust covering every fucking surface, like they just redid the drop ceiling tiles and didn't bother to put down a tarp or clean up. Also 8 boxes of books in my room I have to label for AP, and just fuck. They were supposed to clean it, not fucking trash it. Now I get to spend my day cleaning their fucking mess.

    Rant: Today is the closest I've been to shitting myself in years. I didn't even get drunk last night so I have no idea why.

    Rave: I didn't!!!

    Rant: Just in case I better do a load of laundry before the cleaning lady gets here.

    First world rant: The roll of toilet paper is literally too big for the dispenser to spin freely. Ask me how terrible it is to wipe with handfuls of individual squares. IT'S WORSE THAN HITLER.
