Rave: I fucking hate this song, but this I can get on board with. Rant: Youtube tabs not working? Pfff day ruined.
rant:gotta work 9-12, prepare kids for their martial arts graduation until 5, commute to school and take finals from 5:45-9:30. rave: after that, I will work for 5 hrs tomorrow and then be free until monday. Just gotta push.
Rant: I really should be a better person. I have little to worry about, yet somehow I find things to worry and get angry about. Sometimes, I wish I could just find a little bit of peace in the day. My lack of gratitude is absolutely stunning at times. Rave: All in all, things could be a lot worse, and they're not.
Rant?: The emergency alarm is going off at work but they're telling us to stay put while the emergency is being verified. Um, what? Rant: I just started eating my lunch.
Rave: Picked up a brand new set of Gordon Ramsay Maze knives for over 50% off at a going out of business sale. Rant: Been so busy that I haven't been to the gym in about 3 weeks and am starting to feel like crap again.
Rave: As another dude poster said as well, I went back to the gym today after a 3 month hiatus. (back injury) Rant: The Tibette thread depressed me into it.
RAVIEST OF RAVES: Nominated for Teacher of the Year today by one of my former students. There's a lot of shitty things you have to deal with in this profession: crap pay, under-appreciation, awful red tape policies aimed more for profit than for the kids. It's so frustrating at times but I love my job and love my students. And today made it all worth it. Holy shit, I have never felt so humbled, grateful, and happy in all my life. I'm jumping out of my skin.
RAVE THAT WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS RAVING: Received my first promotion today. The raise was around 18%. Very fucking excited. There is only one thing to do. Spoiler
Rave: I got a pretty awesome surprise waking up from a nap. Someone was knocking on my door, so I pulled on pants and went to answer it. I was too lazy to put on a shirt, as I was just going to go back to sleep. Imagine my drowsy surprise when I opened the door to find a girl standing there. A very cute, scantily dressed, redheaded girl who was biting her lip and was obviously horny. Rant: I said something like "uh... hi?" At the same time, she stammered an apology. "My bad. Wrong room." She then walked away, leaving me very, very confused and kinda turned on. Whoever she's banging, he's a lucky guy. Goddamn.
Rant: Day two of mild anxiety. Rave: I think I've figured the trigger. My boys are leaving Friday to see their dad for the summer. Last time he had them like that, he took me to court to take them away. I'd like to not endure that again, and I certainly don't want to see them go through that.
Rave: I head up to DC tomorrow to fly around a bunch of younger Marine Officers in training. I remember when I got my first ride in a Helicopter there, words can't describe how awesome it was 4 years ago... Rant: I'm about 50% prepared for the brief at 08 tomorrow morning. Due to many different factors, I was expected to plan the flight but I could absolutely not put in the time necessary for it. Hopefully it will go alright. Rave: We'll still fly because it's an awesome crew and I've already briefed the CO of the squadron on a similar flight.
Rant: Pour out a little Dandelion Wine. I'm going to go lock someone in a closet, as a commemoration.
Rave: I have a new Couchsurfer. He is really cute and we talked about art for two hours. And he brought me chocolate.
Rave: went on my first run in a long time, was super proud that I got up and actually did the damn thing Rant: there is a reason I don't run often, and I always forget it until I finish the run and everything hurts because I have bad knees and ankles, along with flat feet. I'm a dumbass.
Rave: Daughter is really well behaved, and has a good schedule. We get her ready for bed at 8 PM, feed her, and she sleeps from 9 until about 3, when she is fed, and back to sleep until about 5:30, then fed and back to sleep until about 9. This usually means, between my wife and I, we get about 8 hours sleep. Rant: Except with my wife going back to work, I am staying up with her every feeding, so my wife is getting about 9 hours sleep, I'm getting about 5. This wouldn't be so bad except: Double Rant: I have to take her to a family gathering with my in-laws today, without my wife as a buffer. My wife is always the buffer between me and the crazy that is her family, and she usually keeps me from making my sarcastic remarks that they hate so much. This will be a long day. Rave: She works evenings tomorrow, so it should be an easier night. Rant: Taking the middle school math Praxis II on Saturday and I haven't had time to study. I may be fucked. Luckily, this is just to add it to my license, so it isn't a huge deal if I fail.
Rave: Had our wedding ceremony and reception over the weekend with my wife's friends and family from Germany, as well as my family from all over the states! Rave: Everything went off without a hitch! Seriously, absolutely nothing went wrong. I was completely shocked. The place we had our ceremony and reception runs a damn smooth ship. Rant: My wife's step mother is an attention whoring cunt. Fuck her for crying at the bar at the hotel when we got back. This is OUR day, not yours, bitch. Rave: Got some preliminary pictures back from our photographer. It was a husband/wife team, which was awesome, because they were able to get pictures of both the ladies and gents while we were all getting ready. Here are two of them (spoliered since I know some of you don't care). My wife and I: My wife and nephew, which I think is friggin' adorable:
