Nitro Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm a little pissed about the weather... We were supposed to have a big storm come through yesterday and today, but in the end we only got about a little over a foot. I was really looking forward to the local ski hill getting a big dump to cover up the icy patches I noticed on Friday, but no such luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Spent most of the day sleeping, off and on. Being sick + no caffeine = uselessness. Would have been nice to actually get something done while I had a day off... or at least do something fun at home... but no. It wasn't to be. I am planning on dragging myself to work tomorrow, though... unless I wake back up in the morning feeling worse than I do right now again. At the moment, other than just a general feeling of blah, all I have is an annoying dry cough. We will see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr. Cracken Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 So what reminds you of a Clarks movie? I mean, besides we're just sitting around telling ourselves that we'll improve but continue to keep the status quo.... which by the way is keeping the country stagnent. Oh, one day I will get off my ass to actually do something. Mark my words. AND IT WILL BE GRAND! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuki Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah, it'll be you getting off your ass, and then moving such ass to the toilet. unfortunate for your ego, the only thing that will be grand; will not be plesant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Mmmm... poop joke. Classy. Feel a little better today. Gonna try to make it into work... though I'm sure I'm going to keep the day as short as possible. Mixing 5 back-to-back bands tomorrow again. Oy...

Rogue15 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 i'm having a bad day so far. trying not to think too much about being forced back into my parents place cause i won't be making enough cash to pay all the rent, utilities, car payment and insurance. i'm also pissed off that i don't have a car today. i am so ****ing sick of moving. now how the hell am i supposed to have any respect for myself. i do not want to move back in with my parents. damn it. their place is too ****ing small and they would piss me off too easily over little **** they get all worked up over. i feel as if my life is falling apart and everyone is making my decisions for me and i have no control of anything. though, out of this mess comes an opportunity. i won't have to worry about my sis, as she's practically moved out anyway, so i can join the army. granted they waiver my RE3 code. I looked over my line scores on the asvab test results, and i scored over 100 on the skilled technical, so i'd be able to get the information technology specialist job i was looking at. hmmm.....

edlib Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Half day at work. Slow and casual. Still not all the way back down the road to healthy... but I've felt a lot worse. Hopefully all will be better by the time I start work tomorrow. The show will most likely be more than miserable enough without being ill on top of it. The plan: Hit the sack early tonight, and try to get myself back to fighting trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 5 inches of snow hit the ground today while i was watching 24 season 3. it's still falling. I think i'll wait until my parents get back from their vacation before i get into contact with a recruiter. i know its what i want to do, and I have held it off long enough and now that I got the opportunity i should just grab it. I got a phone call from the dealership stating that i could go get my tracker... apparently my sister doesn't give a rats ass about her cats, cause they are meowing and starving over here and refusing to eat dry food. im so pissed at her for that. i am coming down with a cold, so tomorrow may be a convenient day to call off and focus on some ****.

Keyan Farlander Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Um...wow. OK, so I had an eye exam tonight after work. The guy is an old family friend, so we're catching up a little, right? And he says, "Yeah, your sister dropped by a couple weeks ago. So she's expecting, huh?" What. The. ****. Apparently everyone knows about this except my mom and me. So, I go for an eye exam and I find out my sister is pregnant. Wow. Obviously I have an obligation to beat some ass, Old Testament style, here, but...wow. Of course, it is entirely possible she was lying about the whole thing. She lies about stupid crap all the time. Hell, some years ago I saw a classmate of hers in the grocery store, and she said, "Hey, so I heard your sister is opening for R. Kelly!" It turns out she was just going around telling people she was opening for R. Kelly. So maybe this isn't true. I hope it's not true. It better not be true.

Rogue15 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 just looking over what i'd need to do to pass minimum bct and ait standards for the pt test. for bct, i'd have to run 2 miles in at least 17 minutes and 30 seconds, ait standard minimum is 16 minutes and 36 seconds. pushup reps for 2 minutes, i have no problem doing, 31 for basic, 40 for ait. situps are a bit tougher, as i have nobody to hold my feet to the ground, except for this storage chest i can use. i need to do 43 in bct and 50 in ait. I'm glad i can knock out the pushups, those are very easy. if the ****ing snow would disappear and temp would go up 30 degrees, i'd start training for the run.

edlib Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Went to bed early last night... woke up early too. Gonna be a looooong day. Oh well... should give me plenty o' time to wake up and get out there and clean up all the slop that fell overnight. Keyan: That's troubing news. I do hope for your sake it's just your sister seeking the wrong type of attention by telling fibs. But to lighten the mood a bit... If I were you, I would have edited my post to start this way: So, I go for an eye exam and I find out my sister is pregnant. I would have thought to myself upon reading that: "Holy Crap! That's some eye doctor!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 mechanic got back to me about the tracker. the muffler is fixed. he's keeping it a bit longer so he can check out the transmission fluid, as he said there appears to be water mixed in it. so he's gonna get that taken care of for me.

Rogue15 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 work was slow today. ONE roll of film developed. though, we made up for it in camera sales. we sold about 12 of them. i'm playing double agent right now. got past the decrypted email part...was forced to consult gamefaqs.com for that, there was no trick to it, just all guesswork, imo. i let the cruise ship blow up, though i had the option to jam the frequency or let someone else take the blame for it. this game is pretty fun.

edlib Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The show last night was easier than some I've worked lately... insofar as it was only 6 bands back to back... With a few possible exceptions, the music was mostly painful to me. More crap indie rock. Y'know what I mean: Slouchy kids clad in ugly second-hand store clothes, slashing away at barre-chords for 4 minutes on a cheap Strat or Tele copy with too much fuzztone into an Fender amp with the treble turned up to 12, howling thier navel-gazing lyrics incomprehensibly into the nearest mic, while the bassist and drummer pound away on the most basic beat imaginable. No real rhythmic or harmonic variation for the entire song. No memorable instrumental hooks or riffs. No solos, except for the occasional blast of dissonant noise between verses (which I'm never sure is completely intentional...) When did rock get so goddamn lazy? Or has it always been this way, and I've been to wrapped up in myself to notice? I don't think I'm being a snob. I'm certainly not asking everyone who ever hits the stage to be a flat-out virtuoso... but try to put a tiny bit of effort into it, willya? There are so many other interesting things you can do with a guitar than just strumming an 8th note picking pattern on regular old major and minor-triad open position or 6 string barre chords! Arrrggghhh! [/end rant] Water in my cellar. ****. It's nowhere near as bad as I've ever seen it, and the side of the cellar where the work was done is dry, however... so I am happy about that. But it still sucks that I'm not completely done with that job yet. Granted: yesterday had an insane amount of water falling from the sky. We had drips from the ceiling at work all night too. (Right next to the brand-new $120K P.A. speaker hang... which also didn't make me very happy...) Got less than 6 hours sleep again. Yay. Valentine's Day. Hmmm... gotta remember to wish my dad happy birthday today. He's 78 this year. Other than that, I imagine I might just be a bit on the touchy/ grouchy side all day. Lack of sleep... water in the cellar... crappy night at work... still completely free from any possible romantic prospects... What's not to love about life today, I ask you? (Actually... please don't answer that.) *Sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
