Rave: Found a new therapist to work with in Minni. It took about a month and looking at like 4 different places but its going to work out. I'm raving about this because I want people to become more comfortable talking about mental health and a big part of mental health for some people is seeing a therapist. Much like someone see's a doctor for allergies, some people see a therapist to help them. Anyway, off the podium. It is a relief.
Rave: So I guess the solution to stress is to rant about it here. Within a day of posting that I sent out a resume to what is pretty much my dream job. And got it. And they matched my current wage, plus commission. AND... My present employer is a-okay with me going part time and working however much I want. So if everything works out there's a chance I've almost doubled my income, knock on wood. And all the while I'm doing a job I really want to do. Rave: I have a whole bunch of people on my Facebook whose hours are being cut back and downsized, or just straight up laid off. I have no idea how I stumbled into my work history; I've somehow managed to land any job I've wanted, and my employers have always been so accommodating. I don't know why I'm in this blessed position, because I'm nothing special. So thank you to the universe, because I haven't done anything to deserve it.
Rant: I was interested to see the movie "A girl on the train" but fuck me are the pushing it hard. 75percent of the ads on youtube today have been 30second unskipable ads. Fuck that movie now.
Rave: Handed in my resignation this morning! Fuck yes im outta this joint in 3 weeks and onto greener pastures! EDIT Rant: Oh fuck. It just dawned on me that I'm actually going to have to try at the new role... Ive had it pretty cruisy for the last few years at my current gig but i'm going to really have get stuck in at the new place.
Rant: Fuck you, Ohio. First, you make my friend sit through a preliminary appointment to be berated for 6 hours in order to then set the actual appointment for her abortion procedure. Then, her insurance won't cover it BUT! because she has insurance of any kind she does not quality for a rate reduction or event a payment plan. You know, the thing they'll let you do for fucking TVs? Fuck you, Ohio, I have a friend now seriously trying to figure out how to smuggle in Canadian abortion drugs despite being already at least 7 weeks pregnant.
Bah: My friend's baby has been in the NICU for months with a list of serious issues. They've decided to withdraw care and let this little angel go. There's just no good reason why things like this happen.
RAVE: One set of grand parents took one kid. The other took the other kid. First time in 9 months we have been kid free. And you know what we did? We were in bed by 9.30 and it was fucking glorious. Best sleep I have had in so long is isn't funny.
Rave: I love it when a project I've been putting off turns out easy. I forgot that I asked el husband to drill my pilot holes probably 6 months ago. 40 minute project turns 10 minute project. Aw yes.
RAVE: For Father's Day, my kids got me a 3 lap autocross in a Ferrari. I finally did it today. I've driven cars I thought were fast. Holy fuck was I wrong. The acceleration was amazing, the handling was awesome, and the brakes... Holy jumpin' shitballs, the brakes were the most impressive thing about the car. I have to admit, I love driving it. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
rant: hungover, exhausted, and I'm in a three hour lecture thats putting me to sleep. I'm not going to make it through without nodding off.
Rave: Some shit went down today, and luckily it was in my favor. Praise Baby Jesus! Ehhhhhh: I gotta watch my back.
Rant: I just had a sex weekend postponed because he was asked to help build a cabin in the woods upstate. I've never been more conflicted. That is the goddamn sexiest reason I have ever had a date cancelled and I'm frustrated at the cruel irony of my biggest fantasy being turned against me.
Rave: Things are so much better than they were a year ago its hard to believe things were that bad and how dramatically things have changed. Edit to add another Rave Rave: Found a new girl who's into kink and a bit of pain as I am. This is going to be fun. I'm telling her different ways I'm going to tie her up while she's at work, this'll be good. Edit to add a rant Rant: Today is the five year anniversary of my twin brother getting acutely sick. The worse night of my life. Apparently I'm in a glass case of emotion this weekend
Rave: First day at the new job, and things went about as well as I could have hoped. The owner seems pleased, and it looks like I'm being given a lot of freedom and responsibility. Couldn't really ask for anything more. Rant: My brain keeps waiting for an axe to drop. Like it's incapable of accepting that I have both a golden full time and part time job. I have a foreboding sense of doom...*knock on wood*
Rave: I have no more weddings to attend for the rest of the year. Thank god. Rant: My grandfather's dementia is sapping whatever is left of his memory. He didnt know who I was when I called him yesterday. That didnt feel great.
Rave: Haven't been around lately because I've been in London since Saturday. We have seen some amazing things, and it was a much needed vacation. Hope you all are well.
Rave: My sister had her baby yesterday, both are healthy and doing well. Rant: Boss says yesterday "Hey I know having to get back on the phone is frustrating, but know what will really motivate you to make some calls? Think of all the money they'll be saving with us over our competition!" Spoiler: Reaction Are you fucking kidding me? Nope. Rave: Applying for new jobs. I'm fine if I'm shot down on these first few, bottom line it feels better to do something than just sitting and bitching about it.
Rave: This cat's diabeetus is possibly in remission! At the very least he's going down to a miniscule dosage of $300/vial insulin. AWWW YEAH!!! Time to drink margaritas and push myself into pre-diabeetus.
Rave: I was working at Publix tonight and was stocking some items on the coffee aisle, and none other than John Rocker came walking down the aisle and grabbed a box of coffee! I was too afraid to talk to him and just greeted him, but he at least made eye contact and said hey to me. Rant: I've also been seeing a girl shopping there who I went out with from Match about 2.5 years ago. She turned me down for a second date, and is married now. I guess it's not a huge deal, but it's still a little embarrassing. Rave: I lucked out and ended up with the weekend off, so I bought a ticket to go to the Phish concert on Saturday. They're not my favorite, but I have always wanted to see them live.
