Rave: Clean & sober 5 years today! Rant: I was supposed to be off today so I could meet up with some friends for BBQ to celebrate my AA birthday as well as another guy's (he's celebrating 35 years), but my request for a vacation day was denied because my boss is being a total bitch. Rave: Had an interview on Monday with a state agency for a counseling position and I've got a really good feeling. It lasted almost 3 hours and at the end, one of the panelists said, "We're SO glad you applied and interviewed for this position!" Should know by next Friday. God, I hope I get this. I've got to get out of this place.
Rave NIN is back. U.S. tour this fall. You's damn right! http://pitchfork.com/news/51053-nin...massive-tour-with-godspeed-you-black-emperor/
Godaammit make it fucking stop. Intense nausea and vertigo that won't go away. It's like a hangover from hell without the preceding good time and I'vbe fucking had enough of it.
Rant: booby and booty threads are down to the second page and the bikini thread seems to be close behind.
Rant: Fuck! Of course! My family has had a vacation planned for well over a year. OF COURSE it is the same week as the football minicamp where they are putting in the offense, and where I will be learning more about the offense and system than any other time. I have two options: 1) Miss mini-camp, which makes me look bad for fellow coaches and the players, and I won't be able to pick up as much as a coach. This puts me at a major disadvantage in my career and my hopes of being an effective football coach OR 2) Miss my vacation, which will result in massive hate from my parents, brothers, and wife, and missing out on a lot of quality time with my family and daughter. There is no good answer. There is no right answer. Fuck over my career or fuck over my family. Fuck fuck fuck. Rave: Booze helps me forget my annoyance. I am fucked-in-half drunk right now. Its taken me fifteen minutes to type this. Rave: Wife is letting me buy a new laptop. This one is older, getting slow, and the battery life is for shit. The one I'm looking at is reasonably priced and will at least play games without slowing to a fucking crawl.
Rant: Laptop screen burned out again. This wouldn't be such a huge deal (I have an external monitor I can plug into) except for the fact that I need this thing to be portable.
Rave: things are working out nicely with the girl at the moment. See also: bound and blindfolded oral sex to screaming orgasm. Ahh. Life is good.
Rant: Talking down to me and making unfounded accusations in front of customers and coworkers is not a good way to approach me about an issue that doesn't even exist. Am I crazy? My parents have always made clear they were raised with the expectation that you always submit to authority figures, no matter what. Maybe I'm just arrogant, but the whole authority=respect thing goes out the window when you make it blatantly obvious that you have no respect for me professionally or personally. I'm honestly curious how most other people perceive the proper balance of respect in regard to the balance between given and earned.
Rant: Mr. P's mom isn't clear of the cancer, it's in her lymphatic system. She's dealing with it well, but it's such a special stress, being uncertain if they can get it before it kills her. Rant: Went hiking up in the Flatirons Saturday and sprained my ankle very badly. On crutches for a week. No work, which means I will be behind when I get back. Fuck. Rave: At least I have insurance and sick leave, it won't murder me financially.
Rave: Went paintballing with the bf and some kink friends. Bf and I were on opposite teams, and who is the first person I see pop out? First paint fired that day was me taking him out of the game. In the second game I got him again. Rant: In the fifth game he somehow got me in the crease between upper thigh and pubic line at about 15'. The welt is brutal.
Rave: My weekend was awesome. Shooting, barbecuing, and an impromptu romantic date followed by lots of sex. Yee-haw! Rave: My girlfriend has been looking at apartments for next year (making her super anxious/stressed over the process) and she found one less than 10 minutes from my place and in my neighborhood too. We checked it out on Saturday and is perfect for her. The one thing is, she will have a roommate and it is a guy. This could make it iffy for me, but it turns out he is really nice, keeps the place spotless, and is gay- so I'm hoping that will curtail any possible creepiness/attempts to get in her pants. Perfect.
Rave Hung out by the pool all day yesterday with friends and drinks. Also, I'm going camping two weeks at an amazing spot just north of Vail. Piney lake if anyone's curious to look it up, absolutely gorgeous. Rant I let my friend who is a girl but sunscreen on my back, either she didn't do a good job or the it got scrapped off somehow because my back is burned to shit. Playing hockey tonight is going to be genuinely painful. If I wasn't a goalie, I may just not go.
Rant: Got up this morning, got in the shower and half way thru, the water goes cold. Finish showering, got dressed, went to the kitchen and looked out into the yard and there's no water action in the pool. Not even awake 30 minutes and the hot water heater and pool pump both shit the bed. As if Mondays don't suck enough. Rave: American Home Shield.
RAVE: Sex! Couldn't walk the next day. Usually I'd mind but...sex! Good sex! RANT: I've already been warned twice by my new supervisor that my usual all-in-balls-out approach to a small town probation circuit will not fly. In my defense, when all you've dealt with for almost three years are gang members looking to blow your ass away, it's kind of hard to come off that mindset in only two months. So, you can imagine how hard it was for me to be civil in catching one of my felons drinking beer (as in, I drove up and he brazenly drank it in front of me) when he's on probation for two DUIs and VEHICULAR FUCKING HOMICIDE due to one of those DUIs. Yes. Drove drunk and killed the passenger in his car and then got ANOTHER DUI after that accident. Let's just say my poor coworker was subjected to a tirade once we left his house because I could not pull my full-on wrath when I catch someone doing something so fucking stupid.
Rave: I just bought a converter to connect my TV to my ancient receiver, and can now watch whatever the hell I want in glorious, full sound. Little victories.
Rave 1: Great date night with the middle kiddo tonight. I have never seen her get as excited as she did for the restaurant's chocolate fountain, and Epic was a good movie. Rave 2: Date night with the oldest on Wednesday will be at the Body Worlds exhibit at The World of Science, we're both mega excited for it. How awesome is it that my 9 year old loves stuff like that? Rave 3: Mini golf with the littlest on Thursday. Rant: We don't get to do stuff like this nearly often enough.
Rant: Have to piece by piece recover TV shows on my HD because somewhere along the way most of them randomly deleted when a friend borrowed it. Not his fault just random painful bullshit.
Rave: Hot water heater is fine. Rant: Due to the heavy rain over the weekend, mud was pushed up from my neighbor's yard under my fence and clogged the vent to the pool pump motor which in turn fried it. As this is not "normal wear and tear" AHS isn't covering it.
Rant: Needless bullshit with the girlfriend. We are fighting over nothing. She's pissed off at me for reasons I cannot explain...she can't either. It involves me not wanting to choose where we eat and not having enough of an opinion on things. We've been dating for 9 months and have never had a fight. I suspect this is her way of finding some sort of flaw in our relationship and is some sort of test. I don't like it. Rave: Getting some moderately interesting cases at work and have been given more responsibility with less oversight.
