Rant: In the office on the left, we have the accountant who spent her day doing nothing but having incredibly loud conversations with her entire department about everything from her upcoming wedding (she isn't actually getting married, she's just talking about it "in case it happens"), to having test driven a car, to watching YouTube videos of kittens. The only bit of work she actually did today was done wrong. In the office across the hall, we have the baby talker, who spent her day talking about the dump her kid took this morning. In the office on the right, we are in the middle of what has been a 25 minute conversation about Candy Crush Saga and Farmville. I hate everything and everyone right now.
Rave: Master certified as of today, missed a Double Master by 2 fucking questions but I still get a 3% raise.
????: This phone call: Me: Hello? Girlfriend: Hi! What's it called when you eat out someone's ass hole? Me: Uh, you mean rimming? Girlfriend: Rimming! YES! That's it. Thanks, bye!
Rave?: had a price watch set on adioso, and I could fly to the Gili Islands for 2 weeks over Christmas for $245. Scuba diving over there is $30/ dive, and I could get a hell of a lot closer to Divemaster in 2 weeks. The downside? Well, there isn't really a downside, other than that I'd probably be spending my birthday / Xmas alone... but then, alone and diving in a tropical paradise might well beat surrounded by friends for another night at a bar. Oh, and I haven't replaced my passport since it got stolen, but that shouldn't be too hard What say you, TiB? Should I book it? Come to think about it, any TiB folk likely to be in the area? The islands are a very good time, if anyone wants to come and get on it!
Rant: Watched the Braves lose another playoff last night. Rave: Got a foul ball, with my glove, high fives from seat neighbor. Ra??: Rode the shuttle bus after the game with a college kid, struck up a conversation, and he was so disgusted, he gave me his ticket for tonight's game. Rave: Today's my birthday. Made it to 45! Suck it, 17 year old me!
Rave: Last night in Costa Rica, and we ate at a Brazilian steakhouse. It was tits. Rant: I was eaten alive while we were in Puerto Viejo. I've counted over 20 bug bites on my right calf, ankle, and foot alone. Bug spray cost $24. Ridiculous. Also, I don't get to go bungee jumping before I leave. I didn't care about scuba or forest tours or rafting when I planned this trip, I just wanted to jump off a fucking bridge with a cable tied to my ankles. Why is it so hard for the bungee company to take my money and make that happen?
Rant: Working on a Saturday morning. And not even at home, I have to suit up and go to a client meeting so they can close the deal on some rinky dink bank that's going to take the majority of the day. At least I have an excuse as to why I can't go to the work party this afternoon...
Rant?: Congratulations, Animal Planet, you have found the penultimate boob tube narcotic. Any time I surf across Too Cute I turn into a 6' pussy and can't help myself from watching.
Rave: NRL grabs final today as will as the pie and pint festival at the casino. My team are playing as well. Who has a swollen elbow and getting fast and drunk today. This little orange duck. Rant: A cut on my elbow got infected and my elbow has swollen up massively. Rant: Can't wait to be home in my own bed, my housemate is also my roommate on this trip and tempers are getting short. Couple of other boys went toe to toe last night and general stupid shit is starting to happen.
Rave: Went with some friends to the GT-UM game. Beer, BBQ was had by all. Rave: Met a very pretty asian girl out for dinner. Rant: Date was a bust. She seemed a bit boring, we didn't share any interests that I was aware of, I was tired from early training + drinking and stuffing my face with pulled pork. Rave: As per one of my previous WDT posts, the quiet ones can sometimes be the best and she was open to getting together again, so who knows.
Rave: Finally back home for a little while. I want to karate chop Americans that complain about traveling in the US. You speak the language and money fixes everything. Don't complain about having to wait 30 extra minutes to board your flight or driving out of your way to get a hotel. Rave? Brazil is next on the list. Don't know how long I will be there or exactly when I will go. Shit changes every day. Rave: Got through my underwater upside down helicopter escape training. I really thought I would lose my head, but it didn't happen. I also did better than the rest of my coworkers on the tests so I am still setting the bar. Rant/Rave? It sounds really shallow, but I love having cool stories to tell about my trips. One in particular is a little hard to believe but completely true. Telling it here would give me away though because it was very specific to me.
RANT: I just saw the largest cockroach I have ever seen. It was in my dad's seat. I will tell him and I hope it gives him nightmares, which will teach him for spilling crumbs into the seat. This roach's feelers were the same size as my fingers. WTF?! Of course, it was the species that flies, but it thankfully didn't. Fuck roaches. RAVE: Sprayed it so it will die soon. It started doing the "run and dance of death" as the bug spray kicked in. Fuck roaches. RANT: It was monstrous. I thought there might have been smaller roaches to service this thing, or that maybe it had a saddle, but no. I'll take a picture of it if I can find it when it dies to prove this. RANT: One of the stupid cats keeps trying to find it because the roach is incapable of dying quietly. No, the fucker has to scrabble and thrash around by my parents' seat. I really hope the dim cat doesn't find the roach because emergency vets on a Sunday are expensive. Fuck, why do we always have to get the dumb cats? OK, the one is quite smart but the male cat is thicker than pig shit and has zero capacity for learning.
Rant: My SSRI is keeping me up all night. I used to be in bed at 9-10pm every night. Now I am up until 2 and then back awake at 7. Rinse, repeat. Rave:It has taken a bit of the tingle out of my dingle. Have made jägerette cry uncle.
Rant: A friend of mine died yesterday after a tough battle with illness. A mom, mid thirties, leaves behind 3 young children and a husband. A beautiful person in the truest sense that leaves the world a little darker with her loss.
