follow-up rave: By some miracle the cops found all of my stuff. All of it. Just in time for my beach/golf trip tomorrow.
I know that some of you love thunderstorms. I fucking hate them. Today I was supposed to get home around 8:50pm. I have been sitting in the airport since 6pm. My flight is expected to get home around 2am now. I am sober because I have to drive my car home from the airport. THE FUCKING THUNDERSTORMS HAVE TURNED TODAY INTO A 19 HOUR WORK DAY. I was supposed to be on a weeks vacation when I got home. These stupid fucking thunderstorms have delayed my vacation by sixish hours, and made me sit on this stupid vinyl seat for that long. Thunderstorms, east coast humidity and summer in general can die in a fire. The only way today could get any worse is if I shit my pants. Well actually that may make it better because I would at least have something to laugh about. Rave: My wife said she made sloppy joes and mac and cheese. At least that will be in the fridge when I get home. Rant: She has to work at 6:30am tomorrow, meaning I probably will sleep on the couch because I don't want to wake her up when I climb into bed.
Rave: Finally home after being away on Ex for three weeks. Ranbt: Four weeks of 12 hour B shifts with barely time to scratch yourself fucks your body clock massively.
Rant: Had a super awkward experience yesterday. I was at a client and it was snack-time (well, my snack time; 2:30 PM). Im in the coffee lounge and there some food on the counter, specifically a big box of goldfish. I figured they were up for grabs so I started digging in and put a handful in my mouth and with in for a second handful to put in my breast pocket of shirt for later. Around the corner comes an Admin Assistant who just looks at me with her mouth open as I was elbow deep into these goldfish. She says nothing and just points at a sign on the table: "Food Donations for Soldiers Overseas."
Rave? I'm getting a pedicure and the massage chair is going to make me have an orgasm if it keeps massaging the seat like this. Edited to answer rep: the Asian is a gay male with a flock of seagulls hair thing happening. It's distracting.
Rave. I laid down the facts to the girl I've been seeing who was floundering and leading me on the for the past week. She thought it was harsh, I thought it was truthful. I am not one to be led on day after day. Rant/Rave. Because of that, she finally made a decision instead of being undecided. Rant/rave. Looks like I'm back in the dating world for a few months before I head overseas again.
Rave: Today is my daughters first birthday. I never wanted kids, I find them annoying as hell and still do(except mine now), but I loved my wife and knew marring her would mean kids. I always referred to them as crotch spawning hell rats. But now I can’t imagine life without my daughter, I can just stare at her as she plays and have no idea of how much time has passed. Last week she took almost an hour long bath, because she was have so much fun I had no idea how much time had passed. It is great how much joy they can get out of the simplest of things. Rant: Where the fuck did the last year go? Rave: The Wife goes back to work Monday. Wahoo double income again. Rant: The Wife goes back to work Monday. It is going to be fun just to figure everything out. She is a shift worker, 2 weeks days, 2 weeks afternoons, 2 weeks graveyards. It isn’t just straight weeks, going into graveyards and come out of graveyards she gets 3 days off, so her schedule is constant but rotating. Hope she picks up another posting that is just week days.
Rant: One of those days where anything that can go wrong, did. Just frustrating as hell. I should be prepped out for the rest of the school year, instead I have work to do Tuesday when I go in early. Rave: 3 day weekend, and this was the last "full" week of school. Only 7 days left, and I can't wait for summer. Rant: Only true time off is June, as once July starts, shit hits the fan again with football kicking in and prepping for next school year, which will be drastically different than this year and require weeks worth of summer-prep-work. Rave: Relaxation night tonight. Going to drink until my eyes are floating tonight, cause I won't be able to the rest of the weekend.
Rave: Leaving the Marine Corps in less than three weeks. Rave: Completely turned over all of my responsibilities in the shop. I am currently tits on a fish, which is a good thing; it means that I can exclusively focus on getting the fuck out. Rant: I interviewed with Intel in Hillsboro for an electronics tech position. I interviewed very well, and the managers and engineers who talked to me all seemed to like me, but I haven't gotten a job offer. My friend who referred me told me that they usually wait about a month before extending job offers, so I'm not too worried, but I'm getting out of the Corps right as they should be giving me an offer. I'm stressing with the fear that they're going to say "Sorry, the position isn't open anymore." Rave: Girlfriend already has a job in Portland. Rave: I have savings, so we won't be living under a freeway overpass if I don't get the job. Rave: I'm getting out of this shithole in less than three weeks. Holy fucking shit.
Rave- Nitrile gloves are the greatest invention known to someone who suffers with psoriasis that manifests itself on your hands. I have managed to move the worst of my condition away from my fingertips but I have a few spots on my dominant pointer finger that won't go away and gets worse with too many chemicals or too much hand work. It sucks for someone who is handy to begin with. We cleaned house, made some decent BBQ, and did all sorts of hands-on shit. My hands are better than when I started.
Rant: It's only been a week, but I don't have any job leads. Rant: I messaged a few girls on match dot com today, just so I would still be eligible for a free 6 months when my subscription ends. I have been on the site for 2 months and messaged girls pretty consistently up until last week and hadn't gotten a single response, so I wasn't expecting one today. Of course, one who seems decent replied to me, when I am not really looking due to losing my job! That's the story of my life. Rave: I am in grad school, and all I really care about right now is school and finding a new job. If the conversation goes anywhere and the grad school angle doesn't work with her then oh well. Rave: Memorial Day cookout with my awesome, dysfunctional family tomorrow! I am ready for some baby back ribs.
Rant: Well John, you're the only one who knows anything about Linux here so in addition to everything else you're responsible for, you need to maintain/admin all of these systems. And when shit breaks, we're going to hound you about it. Preesh.
Rave: Shimmered ass is like Arlington National Cemetery: it's a national treasure in which being buried is the highest honor a soldier can achieve.
Rant: Motherfucker. As a general rule, I don't let people work in on a machine at the gym if I'm using it. It never ends well, increases the time to finish my sets, and increases my annoyance. I was feeling magnanimous today, so when a guy (who was much bigger than me) asked to work in, I said 'sure.' Next fucking thing I know, there's another guy on there as well. Ok, I had other sets to do, and did those. Machine was still taken. I got in one set on that machine. Moral to this story: No good deed goes unpunished. Or VI is afraid of people twice his size. Your pick.

Rave: unemployed, to depressingly basic market research, to taking over due diligence on a $30m acquisition in 8 days. Not bad, not bad at all. More raves: also had an acquaintance morph into a friend, and my two closest friends are coming over from interstate for a weekend. Cheers universe. While you're granting wishes, I'll take a woman worth waking up next to that finds me irresistible. Please and thank you.
