Rave: Interview for dream job next Thursday, and I know I'm a strong contender RANT: It's in a city 4 fucking hours away, and the job would start in 12 days. I just moved to a new apartment and my life here is really awesome. I love my friends, my BJJ is improving, I'm picking up dancing, Spanish and guitar lessons and everything is going well. Damn.
RANT- It's hot, raining, and no chance of hunting this weekend. Sober January is about to start sucking balls.
SOOPER MEGA RAVE: I'm being moved to a field caseload on Monday, which my chief announced to me at the beginning of December. I've been waiting for a field caseload for a long while. However, it was said during a staff meeting that I would be moving off my gang caseload and given all the mental health cases in the field. I was disappointed by this because my expertise is in gangs, as well as all my training. But figured MH would be a new challenge that would round me out, so, got over that quickly. Then today, I got the best news - they're going to be giving the MH caseload to another officer and buildling a whole brandy new caseload just for me...of all high risk gang members! I composed myself but when I got out into the parking lot let loose like a little girl on Christmas morning. MORE MEGA RAVE: The chief in the main office trained me and knows me well, and has recommended me go to to IT...Instructor Training. She wants me to become a gang instructor for all the incoming POs that are going through basic PO training. With IT certification comes being the STG (Security Threat Group) coordinator for my circuit. Shit just keeps getting better and better.
Rant: Lost control of my vehicle on glare ice yesterday and smashed into a guy driving his brand new Chevy pickup. The ice was so slippery you could hardly walk on it. Airbags went off and it totaled both vehicles. Fortunately no one was hurt. Rave: I'm going truck shopping!
Rant: Brakes have completely failed and my number six cylinder is misfiring. I have had this car for a fucking week. Rave: Dealer is having it towed to get worked on. They will give me a call by monday to tell me what they can do as far as cost on labor. Rant: My budget for repairs is as scanty as the difference between a stripper and a beer girl in a strip club. Rave: Mid-winter in northern Indiana and its in the 50s. I'll take it!
Rant: The Bronco game was fucking stressful and then we fucking lose. Rave: Alcohol will numb the pain.
Rave Went to my first NFL game today: Broncos - Ravens. Rant It was about as cold as I've ever been. And the Broncos lost. And the refs were worse than the replacements ever were at the beginning of the season. And the defense allowed Joe Flacco (really?!?!) to drive for tying touchdowns at the end of each half. Rave It was still a lot of fun, and I will be making sure that I attend more games next season.
Rant: Were it not for Netflix and The Mythbusters I would not know that my life will be incomplete until I own an arrow machine gun.
Rant: My mom just found a boatload of pictures of my dog she forced me to give up in order to live at home, under the pretext of not wanting dogs. I thought I'd finally come to terms with the fact that I now live with two Dobermans and her excuse was obviously bullshit, and that I'd finally started to be able to feel affectionate toward her dogs, but then I saw all those pictures. I hate crying before the day even starts. I miss my dog.
RANT: Waking up from a nap and feeling more tired and lazy than before the nap. I really need to cut back on the pot.
Rave: Boyfriend's ADORABLE 6 month old niece is asleep on me. Rant: I put her in a wrap, thinking that I could get homework done while she slept, but it turns out it's really hard to be productive with a cute baby sleeping on you. Social welfare police textbook, why are you so boring???
Rave: The Falcons finally got over the hump and won a playoff game. Every minute since has been a day of ATL Pride: Cyhi da Prynce and Sweetwater 420. This is a combination of perfection and also greater perfection. P.S. At least 40% of my students are NO/Giants fans who have spent the whole week telling me the Falcons are gonna lose. I'm not even gonna say anything tomorrow, just give em the smile.....
RANT: My ex boyfriend sent me an invitation to his wedding. He's marrying the girl he cheated on me with. Spoiler
Rant: We have to take online compliance training as part of our bonus/goals evaluation for the year. I keep failing the Anti-Bribery course. Fuck sakes.
Rave: Went to court to challenge a non-moving violation ticket today. Not only was I in and out in less than 10 minutes, but the prosecutor even made fun of the cop for how stupid he must be for giving me a ticket in the first place.
Rave: This is the first week of me cooking for a couple of el husband's coworkers. This first week is just 2 other people 3 times this week. Hopefully it catches on and we do this more often and with more people because it's easy to just make a bigger pot of food, and who doesn't like money?
Rant:Its time for me to actually start caring about politics as I just realized whatever happened with the fiscal cliff agreement is personally costing me (before annual raise) $951 a year. That's two plane tickets somewhere. Son of a fucking bitch that sucks.
