Troy and Abed in the Mourning Rant: Well, doo doo. "Community" was cancelled. I think I was about the only person watching, but still. And somehow, "The Big Bang Theory" lives on . . . Whatever, non-discerning viewer willing to accept mediocrity in place of creativity.
Re: Troy and Abed in the Mourning I watched it as well and this past season was really good. I was so disappointed when Donald Glover quit, but they still managed to have a great season without Troy.
Snowing? I would kill for snow at this point. It's 90.5 degrees inside my house right now because: RANT: My HVAC died a couple of months ago and I don't have the money to get it fixed. Of course, it's been 85 fucking degrees nearly every damn day since the end of April. Spring? What spring? Skipped from March to mid-July. FUCK!
RANT: Laptop hard drive took a dump. I live and work off that thing. Fucker. Restore procedure isn't exactly going as it's supposed to. RAVE:. Hacked that bitch and it's restoring as it should have in the first place. Onto a brand new 1TB crazy fast SSD. Twice the capacity and 4 times the performance of the old one. Fuck yeah. Out at the bar, having a Canadian, hoping the Bruins dry anally rape the Habs, while I wait for the 4 hours it's going to take to finish.
Rant: Welcome to the village. One of the, lets call them locals, was drunk carrying a bag of empties fell/passed out cracked his head and the ambulance had to be called. Tax dollars hard at work. Rave: Daughters first half day of daycare. Wife goes back to work in 2 weeks, this week is half days, next week is full days. Just so she can get used to if, and the wife is not working if there was any issues. She was perfect, no issues at all. MEGA RAVE: She took her first steps this afternoon after the wife picked her up. Glad it wasn't at daycare.
Rant: I don't know why I'm putting so much thought, time, and money into buying student graduation gifts. I should have just gone for $10 gift cards instead of personalized book buying. If you can think of a book you wish someone would have put in your hands as a high school graduate, let me know.
RANT: If I see one more 'dog mommy' mother's day post on facebook I'm going to start kicking these women in the uterus until dogs are they only kids they'll ever have. 'My dogs have peed on me, pooped on me, puked on me too! It's just as hard to be a puppy parent as a kid parent!' Eat a bag of dicks.
Rant/Rave: My day started with my largest customer encountering some issues and then selecting me as their whipping boy on the phone. At least it turns out I'm not personally at fault and we're getting it resolved.... I think, but she is not happy and rightfully so. Rant: Stupid shit putting my hometown in the national news.
Rant: I hate bathing suit shopping. It is such a defeating activity. Nothing fits the way I think it will, the fluorescent lighting makes every part of my body look terrible, and when I finally say, hey, this combo is cute...it's $45 for the set. 45 for something I might wear twice this summer. Fuuuuck. So I did the logical thing. Chocolate covered almonds and a big bag of honey mustard pretzels: $8. Winning.
Rave:Not only did I get a job 3 days after being laid off, but new job is letting me audit the old job. Also people are fleeing old job like crazy and it will likely be dead soon. Glad that everything worked out.
RAVE: Bought the most kick ass, quietist, high efficiency furnace, air conditioner and tankless water heater on the market yesterday. Combined these mother fuckers cost me fourteen grand but it's totally worth it. The furnace is 99% efficient and the AC has a SEER rating of 21. It comes with a fucking UV light that KILLS BACTERIA AND MICROBE SHIT. I've got a boner thinking about it right now. EDIT: Forgot about the tankless water heater
RAVE: The SSD hard drive on my laptop that packed it in was under extended warranty, unbeknownst to me. Just got a drop-in replacement with even better specs, but since I had already replaced it with a monster of an SSD, I put the replacement into an old laptop I had kicking around. Holy shit, what a difference. The thing is lightning fast now, and totally usable, even if it is 6 years old. It's the little things in life.
Major Motherfucking RANT: Can't sleep. Got an e-mail from my college stating I was deregistered from my final semester in nursing because of non-payment. I'm supposed to have financial aid but when I check it says 0.00. I filed all my paperwork in MARCH and have received several e-mails that all say congratulations and that I've been approved for my usual Pell Grant award. I'm not over on my credit hours and I never received anything from the college saying that I didn't qualify or was turned down. I don't know what the fuck is going on and, of course I didn't get the e-mail until after 5:00 so I have to wait until 8:00 am to call and find out. I'm worried sick. I only have 2 months left and I don't have the nearly 1000 dollars to pay for it out of pocket. If this is for real I don't know what the hell I'm going to do.
Rant San Diego is in flames and my parents house is in the heart of it. Apparently there is some arsonist running around setting brush fires everywhere. Fuck. I wish I was there so I knew the moment to moment status of whats going on and when/if they're going to evacuate. Apparently they are on the edge of the mandatory evacuations.
Rave: I am an hour away from starting a 4 day long weekend, 2 days of which the kids are gone to their dad's. Beer, here I come. Rave: Work starts Tuesday on my first really big tattoo, which will start just under my boob and go to mid thigh, following the curve of ribs, waist and hip.
Rant: I've been interviewing for a couple different positions with a company (they contacted me via LinkedIn so I didn't apply for any of the positions) and this has been going on and off with them since March. I had a really fantastic interview on Friday and then the HR lady contacted me later and told me they wanted to move forward with next steps and asked for my references. I provided them late Friday afternoon and haven't heard shit since. Either tell me what the fuck is going on "sorry for the delay, we have some paperwork we need to get signed before we can move forward, etc."... OR "hey, you didn't get the job"... it'd just be nice to not be in limbo any more. Brutal.
RAVE: Good god, my wife's boobs are huge. Huge! And she's insatiable. One more go today and nothing but air is going to come out of me. Pregnancy might just be the best thing that ever happened to me. Ha! RAVE: My new job rules. I can do this shit with my eyes closed, and for some of it I did. I sliced up four dozen 14-ounce ribeyes while wearing a blindfold, and didn't fuck up any of them. The chef I work for is the fucking mayor. He is a blast to work with, and encourages us to fuck around a bit and have a good time, so long as we dial it back when the money's on the line. Guy's in his mid-fifties and still drinks, smokes, and fucks like a sailor. Some days I feel like I'm working on a pirate ship. RANT: Finally got the bill for repairing the water heater and my dryer. Way the fuck more than I was quoted, and the dispatch lied to me about the labor rate, which came in at a full $15 more an hour than expected. Thus far, they are not returning my calls. Is this kind of thing common? I haven't had to call a ton of service places for household repairs, so I'm wondering how I should handle this.
