Rant & Rave Thread

The motherfuckers did it again. I found a new pharmacy that takes my insurance, but on the way home I went to CVS to pick up the prescriptions they had waiting for me. The ones I didn't get the other day because they were closed when they were supposed to be open.

Goddamn if they didn't give me another wrong Rx. Last time they gave me a muscle relaxer instead of a cholesterol medication. At least this time they had the right medication, but they gave me the wrong dosage. I was so pissed I ranted and raved at the pharmacist like a crazy person, then went outside and called their customer service line and talked with someone - an actual a live person, to file a complaint. According to what I read on line, this may actually get CVS to pay attention to what's going on at that store.

Monday I'll be filing complaint on line with CVS.com, as well as with my insurance company. They will not be happy that their members are being given the wrong meds. Not that I like insurance companies, but I want to apply pressure from every avenue possible.

 

RANT: I had to be a designated driver for a couple of people for a metal show* last night. Yeah, it was voluntary and I could have said no, but still, being at a metal show and NOT drinking?!
It was a good show, though.

MEGA FUCKING HUGE RAVE: I hooked up with a girl with a body like Ashley Graham (only with whiter skin), and she had the most gloriously beautiful black bush that you ever saw; a triangle of love that contrasted magnificently with her milky white skin, and pointed down to her tiny clit.
So all things considered, it was a good night.

*The lineup: Daggra, Blast Perversion, Child Bite, King Parrot, and Voivod. Child Bite was the best, in my opinion.

 

Rave: Did a bunch of gardening work over the weekend, just in time for lots of warm rain this week. Off to a great start.

Rant/Rave: Had a big project I was looking forward to end up being cancelled, which really sucks, but it does free up time for me to clean up and finish some old projects that have been strung along for years and just move work that I was putting off ahead. There will be no gaps in productivity.

 

RAVE: Relocation discussions with my Dad concerning our company seem to have made some progress. Likely will happen in the next 2 years. Finally may be getting out of the Midwest.

RANT: My dad is still scared/partially uncomfortable about the idea, so discussions sometimes abruptly detour into inanity or absurd what-ifs and meaningless defenses of Milwaukee and the Midwest. Also, my pushes for Dallas or Austin have been rebuffed and it will be Florida.

RAVE: The fact that we are realistically looking at pluses and minuses and the whole discussion has gotten this far is exciting. I could use a reset and it would be an overwhelming net positive for the business.

RANT: He's pushing for Tampa while I'm partial to the greater Miami area, for a variety of reasons not least of which is a more comprehensive international airport for the travel I'll be doing for business. His main objection is "people from the east coast go to the east coast, midwesterners go to the gulf side"...seriously. So yea, this will be fun. Input for both thats not "lol Tampa has strip clubs" or "fuck rich Miami pricks" is welcome.

 

RANT: Selling a house is fucking stressful. Everyone seems to love our house but only one low ball bid. Just got this back from the realtor.

"Your house was the favourite for sure. Only mention was the busy street and lack of covered parking. He feels it is a bit pricey. He also commented about the great workmanship throughout the whole house, but thought it was a bit pricey."
"I didn't sense he was going to make an offer, I will follow up with him to see though."

That is the feed back I pretty much always get. Just annoying when no one makes an offer.

I get the lack of covered parking but probably half or more of the houses don't have it, and you can tell from the pictures it doesn't have covered parking, so if it is a deal breaker, you shouldn't even be looking at the house.

Sure it is one of the more busy streets in town, but with 12k people it isn't busy, again, you know where the house is before you even look at it.

If you think it is pricey, make an offer.

 

Rave: I am becoming a better person. I am no longer tempted to eat what I pick off of my body.

 

Rave: We celebrated my finishing grad school and my sister's birthday yesterday. So much good food.

Rant: I don't feel like I deserved any of it. At least not until I find a better job.

Rant: I had to turn down the job offer that I got with Apple that was near San Jose. It just didn't pay enough to live in the CA Bay Area. I am disappointed, because I really need a change of scenery, but I know that it was not the right opportunity.

Rave: I have started talking to my ex-best friend again. I'll put the rest of this in spoilers:

Spoiler

I cut him out of my life almost 10 years ago, at the beginning of our junior year of college when we were living together, after he tried to beat the shit out of me when he was drunk. He also didn't believe me when I said that it happened, though at that time I wouldn't have stayed friends with him even if he took responsibility for it. But I want to give him another chance to take responsibility for the whole thing and move past it. He is about the only person who has ever truly wanted to be friends with me, anyway, and there had been times when he had been there for me.

However, I have a bad feeling that he may not have learned his lesson. When we talked for the first time a few days ago he said something like "we should rent a place together, man." Sorry, but us living together was a bad idea, as our personalities just clashed too much. But that doesn't mean that we can't be friends. We haven't seen each other in person yet, but I fear that it may be difficult to explain these ideas to him. I guess it's true that some people never learn.

 

Rant: I expedited a break-up. I feel like the biggest piece of shit. In my defense, there were a lot of trust issues and shady behavior. But, damn. I feel bad. Like I just told kids that Santa doesn't exist.

Edit: Apparently there were some timeline issues with my bro-in-law, his current GF, and his ex-GF. As in he was talking to the current one during the last year of the last one. I made a stupid, self-deprecating joke which was a huge mistake in hindsight. (How was I to know all this shit was going on behind the scenes and that current GF and BIL have had issues for awhile!?!) GF did some math and figured it out on her own. After we left they got into a huge fight and broke up today. BIL says he knows he screwed up and should've been honest about it a long time ago, but I hate that I'm the one who unintentionally stirred the pot. I feel like an asshole.

 

Rant: Working from home with a kid who is allegedly sick. I say allegedly because the fever she apparently had at daycare mysteriously vanished when she got home. I'd be okay working from home if:
1) My boss wasn't a total fucking tool who doesn't reply to emails and is suspiciously not answering his phone right now;
2) My mother wasn't calling my house every half hour to ask how the baby is feeling;
3) There wasn't a constant barrage of Hugga Wugga on the television because yes, I let her watch TV when she's sick, even if she's not sick, because it keeps her quiet while I'm trying to write an email to the boss that won't answer, telling him that half the shit he's doing is illegal;
4) I was allowed to spike my coffee. Oh wait. This might be a rave after all.

 

Rant: Wife has been in the hospital since Friday. She went into the early stages of labor and they needed to admit her and stop it since it's too early.

Rave: Everything's fine, it got stopped, and I just picked her up to finally go home.

 

RANT: Fuck do I hate dealing with insane people.

I have to keep telling myself I'm putting up with all this silly bullshit to expedite being on my own land again so as not have to deal with crazy.

My property will be paid off soon. This is temporary. I've been through it before and it's my own fault for having to go through it again. Patience is a virtue.

Deep breaths.

 

Rant: I've felt pretty terrible as a result of things I've done or said in the past. That paled in comparison to listening to my 9 month old bawl her eyes out 45 minutes until she fell asleep.

Rave: She's asleep. 9 month sleep regressions can kiss my dick.

 

Rant? Rave? Last night I dreamt that my cat had an LVAD and someone came to change the dressing. WTF? I've been working too much lately.

 

Rave: Next month I will have a vacation home on a nearby lake. By that I mean I've decided to set up our camper on a permanently rented spot in a lakeside campground. How redneck am I? Very redneck, that is the answer.

We were always camping at the lake anyway, may as well just leave all our shit there. We may not even come home until it gets cold.

 

Rant: 2 funerals in the past 2 weeks. Hope this week doesn't bring the 3rd. One of them was my friends dad. The dad's neighbour knew the dad and the son, at something like 4 in the morning the neighbour called the son and said there is an ambulance at your dads house. The son watch for about a hour while the paramedics performed cpr on his dad.

Rant: My daughter who just turned 3 had her first nightmare that she remember what happened. She woke up screaming and when we went into her room she said the snakes where coming from the ceiling. And she even remember the next day. Supposedly this is uncommon for someone that young to remember something like this.

Rave: Crazy how time flies, daughter is three, son is 5 months. Love watching my daughter grow up and turn into a little person. She is so grown up for her age, stuff like 6 months ago(she was around 2.5) we were walking through a store she saw some chocolate she wanted and asked if we could buy a piece for her, then later she saw a pillow that had her favorite show on them. We said you can only have one, what would you like, she said back "ummm.... the pillow it will last longer"
