Rant: Went out yesterday to shuffle cars and found the boyfriend sitting on a flat tire. Grabbed his spare - also flat - and went over to the station to fill it with air. Put it on, life is grand. This morning? Flat again. Which is why, at 5am, I was up to drive him to work. Rant: Underneath my own car is a mysterious puddle of liquid which the boyfriend thinks is condensation... except I didn't drive the car yesterday except over to the gas station across the street... so there's no way anything is condensing. FUCK. I JUST fucking replaced the transmission in that car. So, to recap - I was up at 5 and there's shit leaking from my car.
RAVE: The old man is coming up Thursday. RAVE: The girl is insatiable. It’s nice to see her coming out of her sexual shell. RAVE: I paid off my student loans. I am now debt free. RANT: I have a stupid wedding I have to go to so I can't go to Car Craft this year.
Rant: I wish homeless people werent so evil. Im pretty sure the lady that carries around the Charlie Chaplin ventriloquist dummy that lives around the corner from my building is nothing short of a goblin. She wears a burlap sack as a tunic and has some snazzy Elton John sunglasses. Sometimes I want to give her a hug, and then sometimes I want to open a firehose on her, race riot style, just to get the grimey shame off. She sits there eating McDonalds and claiming shes Dr Jekyll or something. I try and ignore her, but I get a shiver up my spine when she starts playing with her puppet.
Rant: Due diligence auditor is here all day today as an investment group is looking to purchase us and they want to see that we're on the up and up. Rave: The contrast between our attitude and that of our sister office in California is comical, and it has taken this poor soul aback. Over there they are all happy and peppy and try to do all that company togetherness bullshit like BBQ's and having "Rockstar of the Month". Here, while work gets done and it's of higher quality, everyone here has been here too long and we are all over giving a shit. So this guy is trying to make jokes and we're basically "what the hell do you want? Tell us what numbers you need so you can leave".
Rant: Today was the first day of my bosses holidays, so his boss is my boss for the next two weeks. It was 8:15am(I start at 8) and i already wanted to kick him in the nuts. It is not like he is a bad guy, he just has no idea how to do his job let alone mine. I am the union warehouse/parts person (the only one), my boss is the company person in charge of the warehouse. His boss is in charge of fleet maintenance, he was formally the IT guy, no fucking clue how he got the fleet maintenance position. Naturally he knows everything and how everything should be done. So first thing he comes in and starts telling me that my little warehouse in efficient enough, because he has taken tours of some really big warehouses, so this qualifies him to know everything about warehousing. Say I am not using self space efficient enough and wants me to take one of each filter for a 500 hour service and package wrap them together and put them on the self, because you know that is efficient. And I know he is coming here and doing this because my boss has told him it was a dumb idea, but he is away so I am new, lets try and get me to do it. This is going to be a long two weeks
RAVE: Made it through customs/airport security. I'm always afraid they'll find a joint that got stuck in some crevasse in my backpack or a handgun I forgot I bought or something. Not this time! Hello, 'Murica!
Rant: I'd be enjoying not working more if I wasn't broke. Bills are paid, but I like to have more reserve than I do at this time. Rave: I don't miss that job, not one bit.
Rant: My roommate just got home from the hospital. Apparently someone ran into him on his bike with their pickup truck head on. Stitches in his knee, helmet (thank goodness) busted, hands cut up. Rant: He is supposed to go to China next week to teach a class for two months, departure may be delayed if the Doctor's need him around for further testing/work/whatever on his knee. Rant: The guy that hit him was making a left turn, without a blinker and just totally didn't see him. I get that accidents happen but this is entirely on you dude, you better pay up for ANY damages. Rant: There go our happy hour plans tonight. Edited to say: "Wear your helmets boys and girls."
RANT: Pull up to a probie's house today and turn my back for a split second to close the gate and his fucking Pit Bull took a chunk out of my leg. I didn't have time to pull out my gun, nor did I have a clear shot. However, the dog got a facefull of pepper spray, which backed it off. Fucking probie has been warned to keep the dog away from us because it has been aggressive in the past. Animal control took my statement at the ER, but said they could only quarantine it for 10 days and that's it. No citation or anything since it was in a fenced yard. Bloody hell. Rave: In and out of the ER in 90 minutes. Off tomorrow and Thursday.
Rave: There is no relief like a good shit after being constipated for three days. I think I just lost 10lbs.
Rant: Damn you, Delta. Looks like an easy flight plan to has turned into an extreme clusterfuck. My first international trip is off to an auspicious start.
Rave Tomorrow I'm hanging out with my college buddy and his wife. I just bought enough good beer to get a medium sized elephant wasted. Its going to be awesome, the hangover on Friday will be less so.
Rave: Running Peachtree with 50,000 of closest friends tomorrow. Rant: probably going to be raining like a mother effer during the race.
Rave: Basic plumbing skills. No embarrassing call to the landlord over beef stew in the pipe. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO FIX AROUND HERE?! I want to fix some more stuff.
Rave: Didn't rain whole race, though Piedmont Park was a muddy mess after. Rant: traffic bad coming home because there was a bad accident with fatalities on the interstate. 14 yo girl killed, two month old thrown onto road, along with 2 other passengers. The SUV they were driving looked like all hell. Folks, wear your seatbelts.
RAVE: A new challenger approaches that is poised to dethrone Sharktopus as the best direct to Sci Fi channel movie ever.
