My wife does this. I’ve considered divorce over it. In silent retaliation, I put empty milk/juice cartons back in the fridge.
Rave: After a bit of a dry spell I not only wrote a new song to send off to the band ( in 20 minutes, and the wife really liked it ) but also polished off an idea for a magazine and submitted it to see if they want to buy it. This bodes well for when I sit down to get back to work in my book next week.
Rant: Today is the first day back at work after a month of paternity leave. The guy covering for me did not do any of the things I needed him to do. What he did do was leave me a passive-aggressive list of things he thinks I'm doing incorrectly. Most of his suggestions are wrong, don't make sense or have zero to do with me whatsoever. I knew this guy had an issue with me because Im 20 years younger than him and in the same exact position, but this is not how I wanted to come back to work. What a dickhead.
And now they got robbed at some point last night. Took a ton of catalytic convertors, his safe and the camera computer. I do not like the attention his place is bringing my shop
RANT: There was a lightning strike fire in the county I own property in CA. On the same road my property is on. It burned 130 acres. RAVE: If the map is accurate, it missed my place by about a mile.
Rant ( I guess ): To my fellow driver who I apparently and unknowingly pulled out in front of today, I apologize. I am a shit human being and considered pulling over to apologize in person. Taking into consideration your apparent need to ride my bumper and give me a one finger wave indicated to me that it would have been futile, and perhaps escalated, ending with one or both of us in jail. Again, I apologize for any offense or perceived doubt of your manhood. Rave: I'm so glad I'm not one of those asshole that act like that. Sure I'll mutter under my breath or shake my head, but fuck man, people make mistakes.
Rave: This brought about fond memories of an employee of mine that drove like an asshole. Someone pulled beside him after one of his asshole moments, asked him to roll his window down and threw hot coffee on my guy. Then my employee chased the dude around Greensboro, NC for about 5-6 hours, and tried to get paid for it.
Rant: Just found out that an ex of mine has advanced esophageal cancer. We were together more than 25 years ago, but stayed in touch. She was very close with my parents for years after we broke up ( which I was fine with) and I went to her wedding. Every once in a while she’ll text me about something, maybe a joke or something that happened recently that reminded her of me. She is a good person who has gotten the short end of the stick more often than not. Including by me. I really care about her, but just wasn’t in love with her, and I didn’t want to string her along. She occasionally reminds me that I broke up with her, not once but twice. I’m not embarrassed to say I cried when we broke up, because I felt bad for hurting her. Hearing she is sick was a gut punch.
Rant: Used car shopping. Small town, toddler who hates car rides, and stupid market. Lose, lose, lose.
Rant: Someone stole my catalytic converter, and the way they did it would cost at least $2600 to fix, effectively totaling my car. Silver lining? I kind of wanted to get a new car anyways since my 2004 CR-V was really starting to show its age.
Rant: I think this house has tape measure goblins. I have bright orange tape measures, I put it down turn around and it is fucking gone.
RAVE: It's my bday weekend and we flew up to visit my brother in the Seattle area. While my friends were baking in 112* heat, I was relaxing in 80* perfect weather. Haven't seen him in a few years and got to check out his new digs. Great weekend. Minor RANT: We booked a hotel right on the water in Seattle. All the website pictures show these great views of the bay. What they don't show is that there is sometimes a giant cruise ship docked there. Canceled one night and just went to my brothers a day early. Wasn't mad at that.
Rant: Two weeks into January I went down with covid, 10 days after which we also survived a natural disaster. Never recovered to being "dad" and "husband" until June 3rd, the day after I received my first COVID vaccine. From there, it was a week of recovery, then three glorious weeks until I broke one leg, destroyed soft tissue in both and have nerve damage in at least one. Out of a possible 28 weeks, I've spent 5 healthy weeks with my family. While I've sadly shown that I will bounce back, I've also sadly shown that daddy can get hurt. My wife has had to shoulder a lot of the work, and my children have gotten used to helping me as a testament to their habits as much as to their character. And now they're gonna have this "daddy was sick" period in their memories all because people won't wear masks and assholes refuse to slow down in the goddamn no wake zone. Rave: so turns out peroneal nerve paralysis is a thing. I swear to god the shit I'm gonna do to these fuckers who get too close to the dock every sausage fest weekend. If only fireworks were legal in that county I'd start a youtube of me just fucking with them like a male karen but with gasoline and roman candles
Rant: My daughter got a hold of my phone and proceeded to call my ex-girlfriend on Facebook Messenger 8 times in 10 minutes. That was a fun thing to deal with.
Shit Sammich Rant: came up to Pennsylvania to visit family and pick up some things from dad's estate...woke up ~3am last night to both dogs having explosive diarrhea in the house as well as my son wheezing and short of breath. Rave & Rant: Dogs are with the veterinarian neighbor and while the wife and I are at children's hospital with my son. Tempered Rave: He's breathing better, they think it eas something viral and he responded well to medication, but they want to keep him overnight for observation. I'm fucking worn out
Rant: If my daughter could stop bonking the cat on the head with her Barbie every chance she gets that would be great.
RAVE: JERRY CANTRELL IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW SOLO ALBUM! I've been waiting for this for over fifteen years!
