That Itch You Can't Rant About (The Rant Thread)

[Russ&Caro 1,549]

Lately I've been getting out for my long weekend runs at around 7:00 AM. Avoiding the heat and the need of SP lotion from the direct sun. I still wear a hat, though.

 

[NikLR 13,231]

I run at 530am.  Avoids most things, people, too many cars, other dogs, heat, etc... 

 

I tell ya tho, i'm doing more cardio than ever, still lifting weights 3x a week, and I still am losing weight slower than I want. God I hope I'm not losing muscle.  I manage to get enough protein without powders though most days which I think is amazing. Like today... I still get to eat some fat and carbs (I may eat a pb shake but I've already hit 143g protein!)   murrrrbllleee.. nm

We are back, cough hack we man.

 

Both our flights left & arrived early, boon man.

So did Mrs. T-B.'s/Mini-B.'s, boon man.

 

We were in Business Class on both flights, important Business Typhoon we man.

However, on first flight, lady in row ahead was wearing a gallon of Mrs.-T-B.'s-Amiga's perfume, gag man.

We fought it & tried to divert/block it without success, stench man.

We finally asked steward if we could move to Coach, that miserable were we man.

Two seats were available in first row of Coach, great leg room man.

However, we could still smell the stench, or it had permeated our clothing, or both, gag man.

We desperately needed to sleep but could not, allergic we man.

At least we were served a Business Class breakfast, small consolation man.

Apologetic steward said that he'd file a report, not sure of solution man.

One is to Deny Boarding to Passengers Who Smell Like a Cheap Whorehouse, we conclude man.

 

We needed a bathroom visit but didn't want to fight through stench to airport bathroom, no pee wee man.

Can one believe that the San Salvador airport has NO bathrooms inside security, huh man?

We had to be re-screened before we could pee, time getting tight man.

Such awful airport design, good grief man.

 

Second flight arrived Many (2x2x2x2+2+2) minutes early, boon man.

We were wheelchaired all the way to taxi, slick as a whistle man.

Taxi almost as expensive as Uber, rip-off man.

However, we were at the casa by ~2 p.m., boon man.

 

Cat remarkably calm, obviously well-pampered by miu-sitter man.

 

We dragged suitcases upstairs (slightly hosing our back), then mowed full lawn, side-discharge man.

This was in Many-degree heat, no shadows man.

We did not survive the experience, but lawn looks great, as always man.

Mowing did not help our coughing/hacking, no man.

 

Did not hear from Mrs. T-B. for a long time, no answer either man.

Finally called to say that they'd had to wait over an hour for their checked bags, United Strikes Again man.

Later, she called to say that they were hungry & had stopped at Burger King, bringing us something man.

We waited for nearly 2 hours, doing one laundry load man.

We then grabbed dry-cleaning and went forth, couldn't wait longer man.

 

Upon our return, Uber driver was blocking our driveway, honk we man.

Mrs. T-B./Mini-B. entered, return she & wee man.

Unlike past Ecu trips, Mrs. T-B. did NOT beeline for the shower, weird man.

 

We got shopping-list from Mrs. T-B. & went to Costco, $Many spent man.

We then did usual get-ready-for-workweek stuff, long hours man.

Shot up cat, shoot miu man.

 

We got to bed at around midnight, up for ~Many (~2x2x2x2 + 2+2+2) hours straight man.

Popped antibiotic/cough syrup before bed, Heap Strong Medicine man.

Awoke at half-past 2 a.m. for bathroom emergency séance, almost like a dream man.

Chao to Ecu, bye Ecu man.

[TBoneTX 45,850]

Dragged ourself to POTS office, Jeeves or Smedley or someone fortunately driving man.

Existed in a fog, delegate to underlings man.

Employees all concerned about our pulmonary health, very sick-sounding we man.

Left somewhat early, pick up dry-cleaning & warsh T-B.-mobile man.

 

Returned to casa, return we man.

Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. each gave us a birthday card, unusual occurrence man.

Mrs. T-B. cooked us pork chops, Polish sausage*, mashed potatoes, & carrots, ingest we man.

     *cut into Many pieces, oj tak

Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. sang "Happy Birthday" very off-key in English & Spanish, thought that counts man.

We let Mini-B. blow out candle on small chocolate cake, our wish = for a nap man.

Mrs. T-B. asked what our & Mini-B.'s favorite Ecu highlight was, discuss all Many man.

We napped for 2 hours, snot-covered pillowcase man.

 

Dished & must de-dish the warsher, Job of Husband man.

Ecu trip all over except for illness, will last a while man.

So you decided to go to the doctor?

 

Happy Birthday!

 

One of my oldest's chores is emptying and loading the dishwasher once a day. When she's here it is at least a twice a day deal ( I do one or two). Surprisingly, the number of dishes is greatly reduced with her gone.

And what, may I ask, are you doing up at 0500 Rocky Mountain oyster time?

[NikLR 13,231]

I got a job I wanted, husband is enthusiastic as a wet noodle. He thinks I'll hate it. Hates the fact it's not 40 hours a week but when I work 40 hours a week he bitches that I'm never home? It pays more so for less work so I'm making equivilant money (slightly more) and the drive is about 10 mins longer. I was interviewing for the same postition for a different company and he seems to think thats a better spot BUT it pays less, drive is the same, and I'm virtually on call 24/7. This is my option... I havent had any other calls or emails even for minimum wage jobs (which he said he was fine with me working). ####### does he want? Saying no to a perfectly good job when i have a car payment doesnt sound logical.

Congratulations! 

Now go celebrate by painting the town and maxing out all your credit cards

So, this woman that works here. Stranded in Florida. Car broke. BS aftermarket extended warranty worthless. 

Calls the office for help. 

Ok, so remember I mentioned that half the people here don't have the common courtesy of offering me a cup of coffee? She's one of them. 

 

No company resources to be used for her.

San Salvador airport is a pit (at least it was 7 or 8 years ago on my last flight through there). Super narrow concourses, huge crowds, long concourses with gates only on one side forcing long walks in btwn gates, security at each gate causing more crowding. Plus, as a bonus, everything is both old and dirty, i.e. walls, floors, chairs, bathrooms, etc. It's much more Greyhound bus terminal than international airport.
