That's happening to all my friends, and I'm afraid it'll hit me soon too. I just turned 27 and I still almost never get hangovers, but my roommate (same age) is a fucking mess after a night of drinking. Rave: I don't get hangovers and I still have all my hair! Rant: I'm old enough for that to start becoming a source of pride rather than a given.
Rave: Turning 31 in a few months and I can still drink enough to get a handful of people drunk and not get a hangover on most occasions and I can still run 5km in 20 minutes. Rant: Pretty sure my body is going to tell me no on the running in the near future.
Rant/Rave: Going on 9 yrs. since I've been out of my industry and I got offered TWICE the salary I left to come back. I've been missed and my name keeps coming up. Easy job now with decent money or go back to stress, more money, no life, but personal stroke.
Rant: Oh, mysterious shoulder pain that comes and goes and has no cause or reason, how I've missed you!
Ravnt: Jesus Christ. I was hoping this second company that I interviewed with would at least offer some competitive salary so that I would have a legitimate decision. They made my decision easy.
Rant: Thanks to a series of walking lunges last night, my ass is twerking of its own volition at the moment.
RANT: The top posts in the general discussion area are old weekend discussion threads, which probably means this board is dying.
Rave: I survived. Luckily the drive home is short and none of my streets were flooded. Other employees...not so lucky. Oh, and the restaurant flooded. Like, inches of water in the kitchen and into the dining area. The whole backyard was under several inches of water. I guess better than downtown, though....
TBC: interview in an hour. Despite looking good on paper, it's the first interview I've been invited to in 2 months of being out of work. I'm praying that I continue my lifelong streak of being offered a job after every interview I've attended. Unemployment is not for me. I lack the self discipline and mental fortitude to maintain a sunny, productive disposition on a day to day basis. Fingers crossed.
Rant: marketing analysis != data entry. Now I face an interesting choice - can I do data entry for a year?
Rave: My sister-in-law's brother came in from Colombia this morning bearing gifts for all - mine was a bottle of anejo rum, and it's smoother than Zaya. Way to go, hermano!
Rave: Got laid off last Friday. Why the rave? Got a job offer yesterday where I will be making 3k more. With my vacation time they're paying me, I'm not missing any pay. Unemployment became a paid 10 day vacation. Hell yea.
Rave: My wife somehow managed to close one of our kitchen cupboards on her head. She did a good enough job that it opened the skin for about 3/8" and drew a little blood. I didnt laugh at her, i asked if she was ok. She turned to me and said "wow you didn't laught at me, that must have taken alot, go ahead and laugh." Rant: During naked fun time last night, my wife farted when my face was 2 feet above her asshole. Thanks honey.
Rave: got a notice from Verizon that they are giving us free HBO until July. I've been so curious about True Detectives back when everyone was watching it - now I can binge it!
Rant: Parents who don't want their senior student who is enrolled in a course for concurrent college credit to watch a movie because it is rated R. Spoiler We are reading The Things They Carried and the documentary Restrepo supplements it perfectly. The coarse language of the military isn't going to hurt this kid. He hears as much in the hall everyday. To top it all off the parent complaining tried to give me shit for considering The Road a "classic." She didn't think it merited such high literary consideration because she read some other young adult bullshit books she thought were better. I would brush that off if it weren't for the fact that she works in the school's library and recommends schlock daily. Sorry lady, you're going to have to bring some serious heat to say that anything by Cormac McCarthy falls short against authors like Alison Goodman.
Rave: I don't work with idiots. Rant:I also have shown my senior Gov class 3 movies this semester because I've honestly never in my life had a class work so, so very little. For the record, the movies have all been PG 13 at worst. I won't touch an R movie for the reasons stated above.
