RAVEHad a date last night. Went well. I made her laugh a lot RANT I found a Blackberry last night. Called the owner's girlfriend, who lives nearby, and organised for her to pick the phone up later this afternoon. Rant because, on my one late start at work this week, the phone's alarm went off really early this morning. Wasn't thrilled about that. ? On top of finding the Blackberry yesterday, I also found a guy's wallet last week (which I mailed to him). It feels good to return important stuff to people, but why are they losing their stuff so easily. I can honestly say I've never lost my phone or wallet before. Expect a rant next week saying I've lost my phone or wallet
Rant: fuck a duck! Moved into a new apartment a few weeks ago, and finally got around to calling the handyman to fix the couple minor issues I found. One of them was a constantly dripping shower head. Mind you, apart from the constant drip, which was annoying, the shower was perfect. He replaced the shower head with a heinously awful one. There's next to no pressure. And obviously it still drips. He fixed every other issue perfectly, but man did he mess up the most important thing. Gah!
You got naked then? Rave: Ahh Australia, the spiders have declared war on snakes now. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.news.com.au/travel/news/spider-eats-snake-caught-on-camera/story-e6frfq80-1226332961171" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.news.com.au/travel/news/spid ... 6332961171</a>
RAVE: Moving back to Vancouver! I lived there for five years after high school, and I've been missing it ever since I left. RAVE: Found an apartment in an insanely good location downtown. It's tiny, but I don't need a lot of space and the location is seriously incredible.
Rve: We're gettign a second car! Rave: Rum! RavE: and cherry zero coke yesss! Rant: where the fuck is the wdt when you need it?
Rant: Grandma died. Rant: Might have to fly out to California in about 12 hours to attend the funeral--don't know yet. I won't know until about 11.5 hours from now, naturally. Rant: Everyone is asking me what I'm doing with my life, and I don't have answers. It's awful.
Rant/Rave/??!?! Just washed, dried and folded 9 loads of laundry. Still have another load, maybe 2 that needs doing.
RANT: 30 today. Fuck. RAVE: I have a good feeling about my next 12 months. I could really use a break, and I hope I get it.
Rave: One of my bosses just pulled me into a boardroom, turned down the lights and whipped out his Spoiler NSFW [rnsfw][/rnsfw] and we did it for an hour. I smell a promotion.
Rave: I had gum graft surgery today, and it went well. Rant: The Novocain is starting to wear off and I am beginning to feel like my bottom gum is being stapled. I took my amoxicillin, ibuprofen, and methylprednisolone, but I have hydrocodone if things get really bad. Rave: No work until Monday!
Rave the girl who works Fri-Sat night at my bar quit and the owner offered me her shifts and it is about 75% more money, it pays to take a few less desirable shifts and not complain so you are in the right place when things happen. Bigger Rave I am going to fish more this year due to that job.
Rave: My brother is set up to join the marines. He wants to go career and scored 97 and 141(out of 99 and 145) on the asvab so he'll have plenty of options. He'll be departing in December to join all you military folk. I can't believe the transformation. He's lost 80 pounds while putting on a ton of muscle. He's going from Durbanite to badass in a hurry. Reminds me I need to focus more on getting my own shit together. Right now, I'm just really happy for him. Rant: According to my friend the company he wanted me to apply at in New York is scaling back hiring and focusing more on outsourcing in India. The original plan was to apply in June, but my chances just plummeted. Rave: While surfing to see what else is available in the area there are tons of positions I'm more than qualified for that don't sound like soul sucking office gimp work. Maybe the economy is turning around. Might as well apply at half a dozen locations while I'm up there visiting. Fun while it lasted, but I don't want to build race cars forever. Rave: Getting out of the south. Within a few months, I hope. My blood is too thick for this country. I need a real winter.
Rant Levon Helm died. Keepin' it real amongst the Canucks. No one will ever sing this quite as well: Spoiler Question: My ancestors fought in blue; is it bad that I sing "The night we drove old Dixie down"?
Rave: So the first sort of interview I land in months comes immediately after no longer giving a fuck and sending a cover letter referencing Ol' Dirty Bastard and Kanye West. No joke. Here's the first sentence: "I’m interested in this internship because writing and music have both been passions of mine since before Ol’ Dirty Bastard interrupted the Grammys and proclaimed that 'Wu-Tang is for the children'." What is this life?
Rant: Birthday today consisted of working late and a crappy training session. Rave: Nobody believes I'm 32.
