    Rant: While I was playing hockey last night I hit a rut with my outside edge and fell hard on my ass. Hit so hard I literally couldn't get back up for a few moments, I was stuck there kind of crawling on the ice. Because of the unsafe ice conditions, I now must sleep on my stomach and sitting is borderline torture. Walking, while tolerable, is pretty embarrassing. I look like a first timer in prison. Apparently my coworkers find this funny, unfortunately I do not.

    Rant: Received a job offer on friday to work in forensic medicine. Why is it a rant, you ask?
    Because I don't know what to do. It's a big institute, I was already told there would be a research project I should work on, the position is stable. And it seems like I beat a few of the other applicants, because I got an offer right then and there.
    But going out of it my gut feeling wasn't quite right. And since then I'm questioning if I shouldn't take it anyway, or if I maybe just had a rush of job anxiety going out of that almost day-long interview. And it's in a place I never really considered living in.
    And in the medical field, there's jobs a dime a dozen at the moment. Forensic medicine is still kind of tough to get, but still.
    I have to decide till monday.
    This sucks.

    Rant: Hit my head at work back in January and received a complex concussion, almost 3 months later and still getting symptoms and haven't been cleared to go back to work. This sucks large.

    Rant: Some dude's girlfriend threw a drink at my friend, I yelled at him, he made a running attempt to slam me to the ground, and somehow I'm the one who was a dick.

    Rave: Did not get arrested even though the cops came! Also the guy walked away worse than me. Fuck that dude.

    Rant: as it turns out, the problem with dating a 20 yr old is that you get dumped via text. Ouch. My pride.

    Rant: sitting in an airport headed to see my dad who is undergoing emergency heart surgery tomorrow.

    Started out as just a catheterization to look for blockage and turned into them not letting him leave the hospital before they do a triple bypass. Fuck.

    Rave: Just got a new iphone, and switched carriers. Went from the 5 to the 6 plus, which basically doubled the size of the phone. (Wanted the larger one for the battery life, and also because I use it as an E-reader.) Switched to AT&T because I live in the country, and my house has a metal roof. AT&T is the only service that gets reception inside, so no more having to stand outside in the cold and/or rain to make calls for me!

    Bigger Rave: It's been forever since I shopped carriers and plans, and apparently they're doing away with contracts now? No contract, 15 gigs/month data plan (wife and I), we can change the amount of gigs at anytime and what we don't use each month rolls over to the next.

    Rant: The size of this thing is gonna take some getting used to. (That's what she said.)

    Rant: A fucking drunk driver went up on the sidewalk and hit an adult and 2 small children here in town. And kept fucking going.

    A 3 or 5 year old child is dead, the other child and adult are in the hospital.

    At least they caught the cocksucker after some vigilant eyewitnesses followed him even after he ditched the truck and took off on foot.

    This kind of shit happens waaay to often in this town..

    10% Rant/ 90%RAVE: I just dropped $1109.37 on exhaust, intake and a tuner for my motorcycle. I have enough of my mom in me that I always have a little trouble dropping this much cash on things I don't need but I finally convinced myself when I found it on sale.
    RAVE: New Dead Sara album drops today!

    Rave: I got my new passport finally, so I can finally apply for Swedish citizenship.

    Rave 2: I have the worst passport picture ever. My friend and I have been competing since we got our pictures taken for our Germany visas.
    I was worried mine would not get accepted, but it did. I gave myself a shitty haircut, didn't shower, went for a run around the block to look red, bugged my eyes to looks as surprised as possible, and gave myself a double chin by forcing my chin back.

    I look like a serial killer who was just was roused from his cabin in the woods.

    Rant: I guess sometime in December I accidentally stole some witch's rutabagas and she put a curse on me because pretty much as soon as it became 2015, everything I've touched has turned to shit. All these things keep crashing down around me and I keep having the absolute worst luck, from the really big things to those little things that build up when they keep happening every day. I keep expecting everything to go wrong, and then it does, and I'm just waiting for more things to start piling on. I don't even think there's anyone I've told everything about to because I feel bad dumping all that shit on someone else.

    But. I really think I just have to get through April and then things will be okay after that. It's becoming this obsessive mantra of mine: justgetthroughapril justgethroughapril. This first week is not making it any easier, though. I have something to be anxious about every day until Saturday. I keep waking up already having a panic attack. Like, I try to get some sleep, but I get woken up because I've started panicking in my sleep and I think I'm about to throw up. I think I'm just never going to get out of bed this entire weekend. Except for this plan I have to get drunk and decorate Easter eggs. That will be good.

    Rave: Viewing awkward hilarity from afar. MiL changed her name on facebook to her maiden name because of the divorce and somebody asked if she changed her name because she got married.

    I am a bad person.

    Rant: Received two verbal warnings at both of my jobs within the last 24 hours. Why? Well for one I was missing shifts because ADHD is fun and the other lets just leave it at I did something stupid. Starting to think working two jobs may be more than I can handle. Previous to this I had no issues at the first job whatsoever. I'm really starting to think that my adult ADHD may be way more consequential than my childhood ADHD.

    Rant: Recovering a Jet launch this afternoon and while I was untangling the earth lead lifted my head up into the nose wheel landing door. Hard. Now I have a nice gash on my forehead.
