RANT: I'm convinced that the primary purpose of the Dodd-Frank bill is to make honest people miserable when they refinance their homes.
I found a squishy face cat in a shelter. I want it. The Guy says no because it's ugly. UGLY KITTIES NEED LOVE TOO! Rave/rant.
Rave: My sisters 6-month post stem cell transplant PET scan is clear. Shes still cancer free, not a bad way to start the new year.
Rant: study group was supposed to meet this morning. I get there, send a txt to make sure I'm in the right place, and get the response, "Didn't you get my email?". Would I be sitting here if I did? Not getting a confirmation response from me didn't make you wonder if I got it or not? So I wasted an hour and a half drive to and from campus, not to mention the gas. Rave: So I came home, put up a pot of sausage and chicken gumbo, and put in 4 solo hours of studying and concluded I'm better off studying alone. Did I mention GUMBO?!?!
Rave: Tomorrow I'm off to the Canary Islands for a week long beach holiday Rave: Forecast of 70 degrees for the entire duration of the stay with 0 chance of rainfall and I will be able to see the beach from our cabin Rave: Some of the shittiest weather this winter in London, UK and I'm just in time to leave. Rave: With Bank Holiday it will be a total of 12 days off with minimal coming out of my 4 weeks annual leave. Rave: The most vacation I ever got in the states was 3 weeks including sick time. There are distinct advantages to living here Rant: I can't fucking sleep. Went to bed early, tried a sleeping pill. Can't sleep. Though if this is my only rant, God save the Queen.
RANT: Boredom strikes again. I need more money for my hobbies, or cheaper hobbies. Two weeks into seasonal layoffs and I'm thinking I'm just going to find a year around job.
RANT: God dammit I am a fat fuck! Unbelievable what two weeks of holidays did to me. That's right, "did to me." I AM THE VICTIM HERE!!! Can I sue Jesus because Christmas made me gain weight?
Rant: My great aunt (who happens to be the coolest ever) is undergoing surgery for breast cancer today. It was discovered just before the Holiday season and we'll know if it's in her lymph system after today. Prayers and well wishes are much appreciated, regardless if you're a believer or not. Her name is Lynn. Rant: As if coming back to work after a long, kick ass vacation wasn't going to suck enough, it's going to be very hard for me to focus today with her on my mind. I just learned about the whole thing a few days ago so it's a shock. My family has lost a couple members to cancer in recent years and her husband was one of them, so it's the last thing we want to go through again.
rant have had two primary girlfriends for the last year. One had psychotic break Monday night. Other just went through gates for international flight, no idea if / when she'll be back. fuck. 2012
Rant: I'm in a lot of pain this week, it feels like someone stabbed me in the right side of my pelvic area. I have surgery next Wednesday to have my right ovary removed. This is where I am hurting, so hopefully this solves the pain issue. Rave: Drugs help. Five days off to recover from the surgery should help. Salary keeps my paycheck from suffering. Rave: I have never watched an episode of Lost until Monday. I am fucking hooked.
Rant: Someone tell me what the flying fuck is wrong with people, that the prospect of having a job and actually HAVING TO DO THE FUCKING JOB is too much to ask? I get that the idea of working in a climbing gym is cool because hey you can climb for free and shit right? Yeah, but customers pay the bills son, so keep the customers happy. That means answering the phone, answering the front desk, and providing timely and polite safety classes. It also means keeping a goddamn eye on the building to make sure no one is being a shithead and getting hurt. I'm not warm and fuzzy. Sorry. I AM, however, the boss. That means that I don't have to ask you to do anything. I give you tasks. Politely, but firmly. It's not a matter of "Hey, do you think you can do xyz today? That would be great if you could...", it's a matter of "Hey, I need xyz done today, please get to it." IT IS WHAT YOU'RE PAID TO DO. I DO NOT HAVE TO ASK. I just have to not be a dick. Fucking 24 year olds. Rave: I'm getting my kitty.
RANT: Work hours are going WAY down. More down than I was expecting. I really need to find a second job quickly, or I'm going to be in some very deep shit. RANT: I'm not sure my stomach ever fully recovered from that flu. I keep getting mild to moderate cramps a few times a day, and I haven't gone more than ten minutes today without letting off a fart that smells like Satan's asshole. I've had to get up and go in another room just to get away from myself at a few points.
Rant: Fucking shit. WTF?! All of a sudden, my mouse just randomly double-clicks, or triple-clicks when I am just single-clicking. Mother fuck. I'm either opening or closing shit all over the place motherfucking shit dammit fuck.
RAVE: First flight in the massive helo from my picture tomorrow!! I'm incredibly nervous and super excited at the same time!! Rant: I still feel like I don't know enough about it... Rant: not being able to spread the love via rep to those who need it most. Best of luck to all who are going under the knife, I sincerely hope everything heals up nicely with no complications.
RANT: I forgot about this place RAVE: I remembered this place! DOUBLE-RAVE-ALL-THE-WAY-ACROSS-THE-SKY: I LOVE YOU ALL GIMMIE KISSIES!!! (i.e. just kidding you perverts, Jesus you sure jumped at that fast).
Rant: Got an email today from the Uni, due to a clerical error, you actually failed a class. Rant: This class is a pre-req for a string of classes offered once a year. Rant: FUUUUUUU.... Rave: Prof is letting me take his class with pre-req changed to a co-req. This means I am not as fucked as before. Rant: Have to repeat a fucking course....god damn engineering
Rant: He left this morning to go back to Hawaii. Rave: Only 2 months until I join him there. Rave: I went for an interview at a temp agency here and all the paperwork is filed, meaning I can work now. Rant: Hiring Manager told me that the economy sucks and the likelihood that I actually get work isn't that great.
Rave: She's recovering from surgery, and results are good so far. Her lymph nodes are clear, so that's a big relief. I am very appreciative of nice people here too.
RANT: Fuck this housing bust in California. My work is mainly remodel driven and there just isn't any work going on. I've hung on about as long as I can, but unless something changes (and in a hurry) I'm going to have to jump ship which sucks ass because I like my job and I'm good at it but I kind of need customers to make any money. RAVE: Had a great NYE. Stayed in with the GF and loved it. Damn, I must be getting old.
Rant Went to the movies today, sneak preview. What was on? The muppets movie. Rant/Rave? 6 hour train ride tomorrow. The weather forecast says it's gonna be a hell of a storm all over the country. Could be fun, I like bad weather and I like travelling in bad weather, but on the other hand I once had to take the bus three times and was 3 hours late, making my 6 hour ride into a 9 hour one. Rave Just went out with two old friends before I go back to university tomorrow. It was awesome, just like old times, great to catch up with the guys. I need to come home more often. Rant The next two months will be pretty much straight studying.
