Rant: The highway has a yellow stripe down the middle. Every phone I've ever used had the ability to both dial and receive telephone calls. Every Facebook account I've ever seen had the ability to reach out and connect with someone. Instant messaging programs, SnapChat, iMessage, Twitter - they all both send AND receive messages. So if you say you haven't heard from someone, maybe stop and consider how much you've done to reach out to them. If you're not motivated to pick up the phone, dial the number, and press send, why in the world would they be motivated to do the same? And sure as shit don't blame anyone else for your lack of communication. It takes two, and there's no third party prohibiting anything.
Rave: Might be moving back to Tasmania. I miss my friends, so that'd be awesome. Rant: Might be moving back to Tasmania. Find out in December. I then have two months to figure out how to get a snake/lizard through quarantine, how to transport their enclosures, and moving two adults and a baby back to Tasmania. This whole plan makes my brain hurt a bit. Then find housing, furniture, etc etc. Sigh. My brain now hurts. Extra rant: Can't move states with our reptiles at all. Fuck. - -; To any state. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Rant: Our marketing department's ready-fire-aim style here at the office led to a clusterfuck of a product launch and I got to look stupid in front of customers because of it. Rave: Got commissioned to do a new project for next year and I am excited about this one. Rave: No hangovers after a couple of good party nights. My dog was invited to a couple of house parties with us and behaved so well.
RANT: Three hour school delay tomorrow. For no fucking discernible reason, too. And oh hey, I have extra kids! Because everyone is excited to dump their precious shitstains off on the one person who is contractually obligated to be home and present for these events. I don't think I have enough Valium and morning wine to handle this. I JUST WANT THE KIDS ON THE GODDAMNED BUS AT 8:30. Nanny needs her quiet morning time. Rave: All those naked pictures audreymonroe has been PMing me. Meow.
Rant Got the old "Fuck Off" email from a job I had interviewed for. I didn't really expect it to go anywhere, but the rejection sucks just the same. Rave As mentioned in the WDT, I had a blast as Quail Man at the Halloween party I went to over the weekend. It gives me high hopes that it will be a resounding success at the next Halloween party that I will be attending this Friday. Rant I have not, and probably never will, get PM'd naked TiBette pics.
Rant: People who ask awkward questions that will require a novel response via message. I'll get back to you, Bundy, I am busy! Rave: I tripped out over a bad test score, but I still have an A in that class. Pretty sure my prof thinks I'm a special one. Oops, the perfectionist came out briefly. Rave: I've had a few male interests but haven't closed any deals. Then I realized that I am really just interested in myself at this time. I have BOB for emergencies. I'm taking a break from the opposite sex. I need to write not listen to someone that I will soon believe to be retarded try to convince me to take my clothes off. Rave: Been running and stuff, getting results. Feels good to take care of myself, I don't know why I ever stop.
RANT: I'm trying to help a mental health former addict get her warrant dismissed (a first for me!) and we get to talking about her life and whatnot. There is no coming back from hearing "My oldest brother raped me. He was on probation for it out of your office. When he finished his sentence, he found my number and would send me texts that said 'I sleep with my wife but I think of you and get off'." I thought maybe it was an exaggeration for sympathy until a detective familiar with her verified it and told me that she has actually seen the texts with her own eyes. Jesus tap dancing Christ. What the fuck is wrong with people and why can't he be publicly executed? RANT: There's nothing I can do to help her, except tell her to go to the police and even then it's a bullshit harassment charge. I can't do anything to the waste of life because he's off probation. I hate this job sometimes. No wonder this woman was so badly addicted to drugs and attempts suicide often.
Rant? Rave? Had the opportunity to have a pretty well-respected guy look at my ankle today (for free!). It's been incredibly stiff since reconstructive surgery. I never got full range of motion back...it's pathetic. He knew my surgeon, procedure, etc. Said that 70% of people who have it look like me afterwards. That makes me feel better, I think. I've been stretching and mobbing it like crazy. Guess I need someone else to help me mob it, and it's gonna take a long, long time to get anywhere back to where it should be. Time to bribe my friends with deeds or alcohol! Upside: I'm pretty normal. Downside: Normal is kinda shitty, and nobody tells you this before you decide to have a surgery.
Rant- Soon-to-be ex-wife threatened me with extortion today if I didn't pay her exactly what she wants in alimony. Rave- I threatened to subpoena her step brother, her mother, and her mother's neighbor to provide statements that contradicted her claim. I'm fairly certain 3 people aren't going to commit perjury so she can clean me out. I haven't even hired an attorney yet. This shit's chess, it ain't checkers.
Rant: I am becoming prone to bouts of loneliness. I start to get a little erratic without the occasional cuddle. And by erratic I mean I put about $800 up my nose this weekend. Worked at the time, not so helpful now. First world problems, I know.
Re: Rant & Rave Thread Rave: birthday Guinness Rant: can't get as drunk as I'd like since I won't know if I work tomorrow until the morning.
RANT Anybody ever notice that when you are more efficient than your co-workers you end up getting shit on with the lions share of work?
RANT Why is common courtesy so difficult for people these days? You're going through a door, hold it open for the person behind you. Get a door held for you, say thank you. Someone says good morning to you, at LEAST give them a slight smile or a nod or something. I held the door for a group of guys this morning, 5 in all, coming into my building. New guys too, as I recognize them from my floor. Not even a single nod from any of these brownholes. Just breezed right through. Motherfuckers better pray I'm no longer on the hiring panel when they are ass kissing for promotions in 6 months. Minnesota Nice my lily white ass. RAVE Mom and Dad raised me to not be a douche wagon.
rant: you guys i am SO HORNY. I keep almost having sex with my ex, which is a bad idea, because I really just need some dick. Anyone?
