Rant: Apparently, the research underlings didn't do any of their responsibilities while we were out on affiliations. They were given explicit instructions (and materials and contacts with the local clinics, non-profit and support groups) to find participants and do the initial testing so that we could come back, carry out the experiment, analyze the data and put together a platform presentation for our research conference (which is less than 2 months away). We have a grand total of 4 participants, and there is zero baseline data on any of them....and our experiment officially started on Monday. What a clusterfuck. Everything was supposed to be ready to go for us to hit the ground running on Monday. I know our faculty advisor is really frustrated with these kids...I just don't know how she let them coast the last 10 weeks. I assumed she would be holding them accountable while we were gone. Thanks for giving us extra work and making us scramble to make this happen. Assholes. I hope they all fail their next practical.
Rant Holy crap! I totally forgot that this place existed! I actually had to go through old emails just to remember my username. Rave First threads i looked at? Boobie and Booty threads of course. What can I say, I'm greasy like that.
Rant: went to four stores tonight and came up nada on the chips. Rave: I had this mental image earlier that I'd become a super villain with an evil plot to keep these chips available on the market, resulting in millions of people being forced at gunpoint to eat them and get anal leakage. All because I want "diet potato chips." Haha, man I am just the worst.
Rant: So apparently the girl I wanted to marry "can't fucking stand me" and we are now broken up. Don't ignore those feelings in your gut people. They are there for a fucking reason.
Olean? Sorry. Ahem. Rave: some of you may remember my earlier posts about trying to decide whether to spend my birthday and Christmas in a foreign country diving. Oddly enough, all the rep I received was in agreement. I took your advice, and a one way ticket has just been purchased. (Admittedly I'll probably only be staying for a month, but fuck it feels good to not have a return date). So, I'll be here if anyone wants to stop in for a beer or a dive.
RAVE: USDA Loans are now back being processed RANT: Processing times are expected to be 45 business days.
Rave(I guess): Joined a gym again. I can't wait to particpate in the fascinating Crossfit debate y'all are engaged in.
Rave: I too decided to join in the Crossfit craze. So far it's kicked the ever loving shit out of me, but I actually like it. Except burpees. Fuck those things.
Rave: Getting married on Saturday. Honeymoon in Punta Cana next week. Can't get much better than that.
Rant: After my experiences at indoor beach volleyball, I've long believed that nothing will take the jam out of your doughnut faster or more thoroughly than having to use a urinal barefoot. I stand corrected. Clinch sparring with guys that actually train muay thai is significantly worse. On the upside, given the way I'm walking I'd make a great polio victim for Halloween.
Rave: Morning heavy squats have gotten better by using John Meadows' plan and hitting hamstrings before squatting. I was a bit skeptical but tried it out and it did wonders. http://www.t-nation.com/training/leg-curl-first-squat-later Rave: Saw an absolutely gorgeous girl this am. Long blond hair, pretty face, athletic build, thick legs. Working hard too, although if you're training at 6 am usually you're not screwing around; Rave: Eye contact and a smile. Rant: While returning her smile I caught my foot on the carpet, stumbled and dropped my open water bottle and bag. I am truly smooth.
Ugh: I am not suited to the early to bed, early to rise lifestyle. It just becomes the late to bed, early to rise, feel miserable and then oops nap after work lifestyle. How do people routinely make it out of the house before 7am? Also, since boyfriend gets up significantly later than I do, and I leave the house before sunrise, there is a lot of toe stubbing and running into things in the dark, realizing my shirt is inside out, socks don't match, etc. I suck at pretending to be an adult.
Rant This cold is driving me crazy. Its not exceptionally bad, however the fever is fucking with me when I try to sleep. I've been having crazy vivid/lucid dreams, and I wake up sweating. Really annoying. That and I don't feel like drinking, which is a bummer because I'm in San Diego right now, home of the best microbrew scene in the world.
Rave: Headed up North after work for a weekend of grouse hunting. It will be my dog's first hunting trip... hopefully the first of many. Rave: My girlfriend is not working ridiculous hours at work anymore so I can see her on weeknights again. Rant: I am so close to getting my first contract signed at work, and the prospect is being a pain. I've heard the "sending it over this afternoon!" line multiple times already. C'mon!
Rant: Fuck IE9, or really any version of IE in the fucking ear. I can view pictures on my phone or at home on my desktop(firefox) just fine, cant view half of them at work with IE9. I can upload pictures with my phone and at home, at work? I click browse and nothing happens. I hate people that hate any Microsoft product just because it is Microsoft, I love windows and office, they work great. IE on the other hand is a peice of fucking shit.
Rave: They still make Internet Explorer!!!!!!!!! I suddenly don't feel so old. Rave: People still use Internet Explorer!!!! Now that's funny.
Rave: Nothing could be finer Than getting blown and licking 'giner In the morning. Rave: I'm a goddamn poet.
RAVE: Tonight I'm going to drink beer, watch two of the baddest dudes on the planet fight for the UFC heavyweight belt, and then watch a grand prix motorcycle race. Might actually be too much manliness, I'm going to have to get a pedicure tomorrow or something.
