?: In the past 24 hours, I've been sent two comics with the message "This is you." From my ex/friend: From a pal: Edit, as I was posting this I got sent another one: K, guys.
Rant: Mother fucking money grubbing state government assholes. $122 fine for going on a tollway and not paying the fee. Every other state sends you a letter with an extra ten dollars as an admin fee, not Victoria. They wait 5 months after the fact and drag a shitload of money out of you. I don't live in your state and I missed a turn, nor do you fuckheads make it easy to find out how to pay fees after using the tollway. All for a wrong turn.
Rave?: I saw a bumper sticker on a car this morning that reads "My bitch gives good head." It was the second one I've seen in a month, in two different cities now. I am so curious about that bumper sticker. I don't know if there is a coded meaning in there, or if it just means, his bitch gives good head.
Rave: I got an A on my History of Terrorism midterm. Rant: I got an F on my microeconomic theory midterm. Double rant: I have ROTC drill this weekend. I'm the company commander at my school so I've been planning with the S3 instead of sleeping. It's supposed to rain and we have an air assault planned. Fuck.
Rant: I had an employee call off work yesterday because she was "having a bad day." Actually, she didn't call, her mom came to the store to tell me her special little nineteen year old wouldn't make it in. She then proceeded to tell me that I needed to treat her daughter with more respect because she is an adult. She said that I wasn't running my store correctly because of some changes I had made, specifically the one where I was insisting that employees take their lunches when scheduled. Apparently in retard white trash land this is borderline abusive. Somehow this was "picking on" her responsible adult of a daughter. This was explained to me with finger waving in my face and declarations of mommy's extensive work history in an antique store. Rave: I asked her how working at a glorified garage sale qualified her to tell me how to run a corporate store and how her coming to set me straight regarding her daughters shitty work ethic was going to give me a reason to treat her like an adult. She gaped for a while, so I used this pause to let her know that I would be sure to treat little princess like the adult she is and write her up for a no call, no show, as she failed to call me herself with a viable excuse for missing work. I have a slew of applications, I don't anticipate having this particular genius return. Praise Jeebus.
Rant: Well, we're on hour 8 of no fart trusting. My stomach sounds like the long ambient part of Pink Floyd's "Echos"
Rant: Ever had someone with who has brain damage (on lots of neuropathic medications and hormone replacements) and an extensive firearm collection decide that you are the lucky target of his obsessive behaviors? The last few days have been frightening. They've entailed staying at friends' places, literally watching my back, figuring out how to move, and worrying about the safety of myself and anyone close to me thanks to this dude's fondness for "popping up" wherever I happen to be. It's mentally distressing. Rave: I think things are calming down thanks to professional intervention, and my friends have been so supportive. I don't think I could've gotten through this without their help.
Rant & Rave Thread Rant: my phone took a tumble into the toilet this morning Rave: I thought I was goin to have to pay a shitload for a new phone, but pleasantly discovered I had an upgrade that I thought wasn't happening until January Rave: iPhone 5, motherfuckers!
Rant: Was in the liquor store today and in the mood to try something new. Saw something called "Lemon Berry Shandy" from a brand (Leinenkugel's) that makes a couple of different brews that I like. I decide, what the fuck, nothing ventured nothing gained. Now, mentally I thought I prepared myself for the fact that this was going to taste a little different, but once I got the beer into my mouth my taste buds started asking my brain, "What the fuck is this? What am I drinking? I don't know how to categorize this liquid." It was like some concoction of fruit drink, carbonation, and beer. I basically had to drink it in sips because the flavor had me totally confused - it didn't taste bad, so to speak, but it didn't taste right either. Finally I went to pour the rest of it into a glass and lo and behold it was pink! Like, wine cooler pink. I was flabberghasted; no wonder it tasted so awkward, I was drinking pink beer. After that I knew there was no way my mouth/brain would accept it, so I poured the rest down the drain. So now I have five remaining bottles of the stuff taking up space in my fridge. I wonder if I can sucker my friends into drinking it.
Rave: My best friend works at a bar downtown, and texted me the other night that there was a ridiculously hot ginger man at one of her tables, and he and his friends wanted to hang out with us after she got off of work. I drove down, and he was indeed a smoking hot ginger football player... Rant: And he was so dumb. So dumb. I cannot get over how dumb he was. So dumb that, even if I wasn't hyper-paranoid about diseases, I wouldn't want to bang him for fear that he might want to talk to me before, during, or afterward. It pains me how dumb he was. For once in my adult life, I would love to get involved with a guy who is (A) not painfully dumb, (B) not somehow still involved with an ex or a multitude of other women, (C) geographically convenient, and (D) not insecure or can manage his insecurities to such a point that I am relatively unaware of them. I am told these men may not exist. I think I dumped one in early college in favor of a guy that violates three of the four principles above. This is the resultant karma. Rave?: Best friend date this weekend to see Perks. Though AM has assured me that Chbosky was heavily involved with the production of the movie, I'm still wary (as I'm wary of any screen adaptation of beloved books). Suspicion aside, I'm super excited.
Rave: Ran 5k 3 times so far this week, all in less than 20 minutes. Hit that perfect balance of diet, exercise, sleep and recreation for a few days and I wouldn't have done it without the advice I got here. Rave: 9 books in the Ender's game series, and I'm on the last one. I might not be learning, but I've read these books like they were going to rot. Rant: Teacher's meeting for no apparent reason on a Friday night. Balls, can't have it all.
Rant: If you are too fucking fat to fit into a coach fucking seat on a plane kindly buy 2 tickets or sit in fucking first class with big ass seats so you don't spill completely into my fucking seat. It was like the Goosebumps book "the blob that ate everything" and her thigh was the blob and I was everything. Rave: Semi-attractive flight attendants. Which is an upgrade from the 3 old ladies and the token gay guy that are usually on Delta flights. Rave: Post-Deployment leave. Finally back with family and friends in Wisconsin Rant: We have been redeployed for almost 2 months and are now just getting out two and a half weeks of post-deployment leave.
Rant: Woke up to this in my newsfeed. Story: My 18-month-old Rottweiler (BOS) got out of his kennel Sat Sept 22nd, while my wife, kids and I went into town. I get a phone call it's my brother-in-law. He states that he went to my house after hearing several gunshots. He tells me my dog is dead. I rushed home and my Bos was lying in the grass next to his kennel dead. I went to review my cameras as they recorded everything. My dog got out and was seen wondering around my yard. He didn't attempt to bite anyone. About 1:52pm, the cop was in my driveway. Bos sits in a shady area on my property and in the background; I see the cop car-hauling ass. It parks in my driveway gets out and you can tell officer Huffman is pissed. It looks like he is cursing then starts walking towards the kennel. Bos gets up and attempts to move away then is shot from behind in his rear. He then begins to spin in circles while receiving 4 more shots at point blank range. Warning: Graphic and will make you want to hunt this bastard down and kill him in the same manner in which he killed this dog. Spoiler Hug your pets, folks. SGEDIT: I did not click the link. Seeing what was on the still screen prior was enough to tell me not to. Hidden because it's just too sad. People really do fucking suck. RIP Bos.
RAVE Got a job offer yesterday! Verbally, anyway, it is contingent on a background check, but unless they take offense to the speeding ticket I got back in college, I should be clear. It is for the very first job I applied for back in July and was pretty excited about, but then didn't hear anything .... for months. But after the interview the process was speedy enough to make up for it. Pretty exciting! RAVE I was fully expecting and prepared for a pay cut considering I was going from a private practice to a University setting. I told them as much, so they certainly could have aimed low. BUT, they even bumped up my current salary by a very tiny amount, but it still is more than I had expected. And I would have taken a cut simply for no more call, I fucking hate call (as I am typing this I hear my phone going off from a text) I can't rant about anything today.
Rant: There's a fat slug at work pissing me off. This guy, I cannot tell if he's legitimately retarded or just criminally lazy. I've never encountered such a sloth-like, disinterested sack of ham in all my life. Which is saying something. Slow, dim, mouth constantly hanging open because he can't figure out how to breathe through his nose. Spends the entire shift shuffling his feet around as slowly as possible. He actually does negative work where others have to pick up the slack. His only goal in life seems to be buying a new phone. We've been barely getting hours the past few months and the fact that this guy sucks some of them up infuriates me. I hope a meteor falls on his fat fucking head. Rant: Something else I seethingly hate: people with a shit load of bumper stickers. This shitskull had all the hits, close to 40 trite stickers, most of them containing the word "hate" which made me hate him more. "Hate is not a family value." "Stop the Hate!" "Tree hugging, dirt worshiper." The one that got me, "Think! It's easy!" You mother fucker. Your entire back end is covered in other people's thoughts and you have the balls to tell me to think for myself? DIE PAINFULLY.
Rant: Fuck i hate inventory with passion. Rant: Counting again with a girl that is dumb as bricks. Rave? She has a amazingly tight little body. Rave: Happy birthday TiB.
