RANT: Last semester I had a group service project, and we were working with a liaison from a local non-profit. She stopped responding to us in the last month of the semester so we could never really wrap up, despite the numerous emails we sent her. Then last week she sends ME (not our group) an angry email about our failure to conclude the project and distribute the materials we came up with. We emailed back and forth about a time to meet and figure things out (I literally wrote "We will see you Wednesday at 3:00.") and I just got an email canceling the meeting because she says I didn't confirm. I know it sounds stupid, but we put a lot of time and effort (and our own money) into creating educational materials for this program, and I want them to get used, not to sit in boxes in this woman's office. Whine Whine Whine.
Rant: armed robbery at the pharmacy while I was picking up my prescription. Guy came in with a knife and started screaming "give me the fucking Xanax!" I was sitting at a desk with a pharmacist behind a pane of glass, and jägerette was standing behind me and bolted once the guy couldn't see her, leaving me with the pharmacist. I don't know if the pharmacist was just bad ass or so scared she was going through the motions, but she finished up the transaction, rang me up, I paid, and then said: "ok, do you want to leave with me or stay in the store with your co-workers?" She opted to walk out with me. Poor jägerette is still shaking. Also, do people really rob places for Xanax?
Rave: Getting a pet turtle in the next few months! Rave: Got to cuddle a python today! Rave: Also getting a water dragon. Another reptilian rave: Getting me a python. Those things are cute. Rant: Still arachnophobic. Ran away from the tank containing "Trevor" Rave: Arachnophobia soothed by baby turtles in tank opposite him.
I had a nice conversation about oral sex with my mother last night. I could have lived the rest of my life without ever hearing her say the word "blowjob". Shudder.
Rant: Woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was going to die. My right ear felt like someone was stabbing it, my right eye had so much pressure behind it I couldn't stop weeping from it and my temperature was through the roof. My friend took me to the E.R. where I found out I have a massive sinus infection. Rave: Percocet takes the edge off. My boss is being completely cool. My friend answered the phone at 1:30 in the morning and got here with a quickness. Rant: I'm still stressed about my inventory. Arggh!
Rant: If its not a marginable trade, then don't give me fucking margin automatically to execute. It's not my fault you did this, and I shouldn't have to spend 15 minutes on the phone with you to close my fucking position. You just lost me $100.
Rant: Found out why the posting wasn't listed anymore. Apparently in my excitement and preparing my resume/cover letter, I failed to notice that the posting expired... YESTERDAY. Rave: I found that out because I emailed the HR department of the college. They got approval from the department to list the job posting for one more day, so I got to apply for it! Unknown: I don't know whether that's a good sign or not. Perhaps they didn't get too many applicants, or perhaps the applicants they have gotten aren't great. Fingers crossed!
rant: this whole room smells like horrible fart. Partially my fault because I made the chili. Partially his fault because he keeps ripping ass and wafting it at me.
Rave: working til noon today, then I'm off until next Tuesday. Rant: Off this afternoon due to a doctor appointment because my knee has been in pain since Christmas. Didn't bang it or anything, but flexing the joint hurts and getting up from a sitting position not only hurts like hell, but requires something for me to hold onto. I'm not sure if I have damage to the cartilage or if arthritis has set in, but I guess I'm going to find out.
RANT Luggage didn't make it to LA from Canada and I lost my passport. Both separate incidents. Clearly I'm not as good at holidays as I thought
Rant: I must have been really into what I was working on... I have failed to notice that I'm the only fucker left here.
Rant: I got my first shot today and I just want it to work right away. I went right back to sleep after getting back to my apartment after the doctor's. I mean GEEZ it has been like six whole hours since I got my first shot to help fix being sick for four years. Stupid modern medicine.
Rant: Roommate is asleep on the couch with the tv remote under her and American Idol is on. How can people still watch this utter garbage? Who the fuck decided Nikki Mannage has any talent whatsoever in that massive ass, shitty New York accent, or stupid as fuck everything? Mariah Carey looks and sounds high as a kite. Keith Urban has fallen very far from being a decent country singer. These clowns decide whether or not to humiliate these people on tv and then laugh at it after? When the fuck did shit like this become quality tv? Fuck, I fear for our future as Americans. Rave: I won't have to deal with this shit for about a year while overseas.
Rant: Whoever makes the jingles for Subway needs to be dipped in a mixture of gasoline and used motor oil and lit on fire.
Rant: car that I drove for less than a week has... Blown break line Cracked head gasket Cracked engine block Leaking radiator Rave: they're fixing/replacing it all for $650. I'm delighted that a company is standing behind a 11 y/o used car like this.
Re: Rant & Rave Thread Rant? Just found out that the wife has been lying about her age for the 4 years we have been together, the fuck?
Rant: I am currently sitting in the doctor's office with my 11-year-old son who they think might have the flu. We had to come in the back and put on masks before we could even walk in. Talk about feeling like pariahs. You'd think this flu thing was an epidemic or something.
Rave: In laws taking my daughter overnight tonight. Rant: 8:30 am work meeting, so I can't sleep in much. Rave: Still plenty of couple time tonight for the wife and I. Rant: Said it before and I'll say it again: FUCK kidney stones.
