Rant: OK news sites, I get you need to generate revenue by putting ads in front of the video clips on your site. I'm OK with that. However, when the ad works just fine, and I sit through it like a good little consumer generating revenue for your site, then the actual video fails to load, it angers me to the point I may be the subject of one of those videos after I lose it and murder someone in a white hot rage. The good news is no one will ever see it. This isn't an isolated incident either, and it happens across many sites (I read a lot them linked from FARK) and it annoys me to no end.
Rant/Rave: Not sure about this one. I decided that I'm quitting my job on January 15, 2015. I give all my clients a gift for Christmas and a personalized card. No biggie. So I drop off the gifts, and pick up cards from the clients. I told my wife to open the cards. $750 in tips later, I can only believe my clients are fucking insane.
Rave: Woke up real early this morning and decided to kill some time before breakfast by going back through some of the PMs exchanged here. A little over an hour later, I had gone through all 29 pages, and I have to say that there have been some funny, insightful, at times flirty, ridicule-riddled, and debate-driven side conversations that have amassed over the years. I need to engage more here, because there are many more quality conversations to be had, I'm sure. Thanks for the memories, and Merry Christmas.
Rave: World Juniors start today! Canada looks to have a solid team; I am excited to see the Leaf's prospects do well for their respective countries. Merry Christmas, Idiots!
Rant: The lack of spoiler tags outside this message board. A good friend just posted an appalling video of a dog being thrown off a bridge, under the guise of, "Look at these monsters!" Well, I know animal abuse exists and I don't need to see a horrible .gif on repeat at the top of my feed of some terrified animal being tortured to death. Jesus.
Rave: wife emailed her boss about going back to full time, hopefully before the next school year. In other words, it is entirely possible that after May I'll be a stay-at-home dad. God damn I hope this works out Rave: She had a change of heart after Christmas Break. She realized how much she loves having me around the house and how much she hates cleaning. I, however, have been cleaning this house like crazy and she is loving it. Plus my kids have been extra-clingy to me since my break started and she's seeing that; too. On top of all of this, her mom's flakey bullshit had finally reached its breaking point. Words cannot describe how happy I'll be when I get to put in my letter of resignation. Rave: once she is full time, our household income will actually go up by about $20k a year. That plus free time means I can get our basement cleaned out and finished, along with the garage. By this time next year I'm hoping to have a finished basement complete with sports bar. Rant: Still have to go back to work on Monday. Fuck.
Rave: Found a car I liked and made an offer to a dealer; we settled on the price and they just mailed me the buyer's order. I'll be flying down to Kansas City to complete the paperwork and drive it back home next Saturday.
Rave: Finally home and finished driving after three weeks and around 5,000km. Caught up with a bunch of people and drank some beer. Rave: Traded my 360 and all my games in for the Xbox One and got a few games with it. Rave: I still have a week of holiday before I have to shave and go back to work. Rant: The girl that I have been keen on for years was coming to visit me until about a week ago she got a job offer in the field of her dream job that starts in the middle of the visit here.
Rant: And another Tinder date gets cold feet, goes radio silent. A bear might have shit in the woods, too.
Rant: Roommates and their stupid passive aggressive notes. Don't you think if I gave a fuck I would stop doing it? Rant: Dumb ass co-manager fucked everything up while I was gone. So badly it practically resets the gains I made all fiscal year. Grrrr, you suck so. fucking. much. Now, I'll have to sit in on the next meeting listening to how it's my fault too. Sorry, I can't resolve this moron's fuck ups when I'm on the other side of the country. The worst part is talking to her about some issues that cropped up and she isn't even aware of them. Unfuckingbelievable. I've been gone all week and I'm aware of this shit. How fucking oblivious are you? Rant: I can't believe I bought this stupid fucking game. Now, I want to play it more so I get my money's worth. Fuck me. Rave: Europe in a few months. I cannot wait. Not only to visit some new countries, but also seeing friends I haven't seen in almost ten years. This is going to be awesome. I'm looking at Germany (mostly Munich) and England (London) at the moment. Maybe Spain. I definitely want to hit at least one more country while I am over there. I've done Holland, Italy, and France. I know we have a thread for it, but PM me if you have a good recommendation. Rave: Went to a bar last night to watch the packers flop again. BUT there were several attractive women there. I didn't know they existed in this town. Yay. Now, to go out and get rejected by them one at a time.
Rant: My pup decided it would be a good idea to eat huge chunks of bright green plastic and then act like she could not pass them by puking bile for 5 hours and not being able to eat, followed by a trip to the emergency vet, x-rays and a night stay costing me $1300 Rave: She had a miraculous recovery the next morning after hearing talk about doing surgery on her, she decided that the 3 silly vet techs were no match for her and tried to bite them when taking out the IV and proceeded to shit out bright green plastic soon after wolfing down food. I was given about $1300 for Christmas so it was a good way to spend it.
Rave: Replacing my old worn out hunting boots with an awesome new pair for cheap, thanks to a gift card and good timing on a sale. I forgot how nice it is to have boots that are actually keep your feet dry. Rant/Rave: Asshole sales reps doing their thing and being assholes. Soon, however, they're getting a new boss and we're hiring more reps... so once again I am once again patting myself on the back for getting the hell out of that position. Also my new boss is awesome. Rant/Rave: The job opportunity in Utah has been cancelled. I'm a little bummed but deep down I knew it just wasn't happening this year and was unsure for how long it could last. But hey at least I'm still on the good side of a "best of the best" guy, I've already got more work demand than I can handle, and who knows what the future will hold. Rant: The gutters along the back of my house are leaking and/or plugged and drip water directly over the back door, so every morning there's a fresh sheet of slick ice in front of the door and all over the patio. This has been going on since we've had snow. Not good. Will the management company respond to my request to check it out? Will I get impatient enough to just tackle the job with a neighbor? We'll see!
Rant: why the fuck do I even have a job? We're one day into the second semester and I have to get a sub because my mother in law chose THIS week to go on vacation and now their flight is cancelled. They can't get back and I have to take tomorrow off. If they had just said "hey, we can't watch them," fine. But no, m-i-l masked it a point to say they can watch the kids and gets upset if we make other plans, then this happens and we have no backup. It's constant. Fuck this bullshit, we couldn't make it 2 fucking days before I had to take a day off. I'm taking it out of my wife's hands and resigning after this year without question. We can't keep doing this shit, I'm fucking sick of it. It's time
Rave: I rotated through the hospital and chose a home base for the foreseeable future. I was bracing myself for a big, fat "no" from my manager, but that's where I'm staying! I'm so excited. I enjoy this area and feel like the longer I'm there the more I'm learning. Some people warned me that it was SO HARD and they felt like they were gonna kill someone every day. I don't feel that way. I think it's exciting and keeps me on my toes. I like it.
I know I have only talked about the sex stuff, but I feel like I should talk about her because she really deserves people to know how amazing she is. This girl... This woman is so fucking amazing. I honestly don't know what I did to deserve.her. I know I act cocky and obnoxious at times, but that's just my way of masking the myriad of self-esteem and image problems. I've never felt sexy or handsome or even worthy of love.. But she loves me She kisses me when no other girl would . She holds me when I feel at my lowest and has given me more happy moments than I can count. She's completely devoted herself to me and I will do my damn best to give her every ounce of happiness she deserves. I love her. I fucking love her. That's a rave if you couldn't tell.
Fuckity Fuck Fuck FUCK!: Computer finally died. Some Windows 10 related issue and it won't boot up even when I try to format and reinstall Windows 7. Lost all of my music because I had just shifted it off a HD to put it on a new one. Rave: Bought a new tablet today with some wireless earphones and a new HD for when I go overseas.
