Rant About Whatever

Got tomorrow night off because my friends band is coming down to play. Not always easy to get a day off but got it. Now its the night before and got home from work. Thinking I might have food poisoning. Hopefully not. Been a while.
Last time was 10 years ish ago with some friends in NYC/Yonkers. His dad bought us mexican. I texted buddy and was like duse, how are you feeling. He was fine then like 8 hours later he was in the campus med and texted me. Then our other friend got sick.
Idk. Hopefully not. Still gonna try to make the show but wouldn't be chill if I was sick all night/tomorrow. Good friends of mine and my first friday off of the season. I'm getting them tickets regardless but I wanna ride with them obviously.

Ahh the ol "I should've stuck college out, I would have a stable career by now at 28" blues are rolling back in. Ive spent so much of my own money to able to stay above the water in my field whether its gear, continuing education, certifications, etc., in the last two years that its disheartening and depressing when you get your paycheck. Its like you almost work for free somedays despite clocking in and out. I did my taxes last night and worked three jobs and still somehow made even less money than the year before. Its insanity. Im about ready to walk and let rich kids and J1's take all these fucking dogshit ski industry jobs.
Fuck this. All because some retards with finance degrees couldn't even budget correctly.

In no way is this "steezy". I'm not a cork 0 hater but this is the most try hard trick ever, it has no style and it looks very hard and unnatural, literally the opposite of steeze. ??

Idk if this helps at all but dude there are so many software jobs that don’t require degrees and where training can be accessed online for free or just a couple hundred. Like it’s crazy dude. The initial entry job can be difficult and competitive but after that you’re basically set (within reason). They’re worth looking into if you’re burnt out. I’m on the Salesforce route and they require no degree. I see people 40+ Y.O. entering the ecosystem all the time.

Considering stuff like SalesForce actually. My mom has been in the corporate travel/travel sales industry for over 30+ years and just started her own app and has been hounding angel investors to give her a chance. Very well-versed in Salesforce and other things like that. It could be a solid side gig on the side of Patrolling.

Just sent in my re-cert application for my EMT, knocked-out all of my other required certs for work, and one step away from completing my checklist for the season so I can be certified for next season.
It's gonna suck working 2-3 jobs this summer but I really need to prepare for next seasons shenanigans. This was a wild season and it flew by so fucking quick.

this new coaching staff at the rowing club is making me lose my mind. my head coach needs to put her foot down god dammit. I’m not dealing with new coaches who have no idea what they’re doing or talking about screaming at me on the water. I’ve bowed boats in this god damn river for almost a year and a half now as well as raced my single. I should not be reprimanded for respectfully telling this new guy i know what i’m doing and he doesn’t. Plus this new assistant coach thinks he runs the program when he in fact doesn’t. He also made me stroke the novice boat as a punishment for erging with members of canisus‘s rowing team (local private school) in my free time! This dude is nuts tryna regulate what i do in my free time. Can’t wait to get into dartmouth lights to tell this dude to fuck himself. Any kid he’s taught to row also cannot fucking row, they all sky their blades and refuse to believe they could ever believe they’re the problem. But as soon as my normal coach is with our boat she is shouting corrections at them

28 is such a weird age. You don't relate to college kids anymore or anyone born in the 2000's but you're not old enough to relate to people in their 30s, but then I get along with dudes 50 and older so well for some reason. I dont get it.

Depending how it goes, your life is 1/3-1/2 over. You got a shit ton of time to do whatever. Think of it as a glass half full where you got a ton of experience in that sector. Now leverage that ski experience into something lucrative. Alternatively, could you not move into operations? Supervisor>manager>etc... Once you hit a certain point, many companies will pay for additional education too. If you read the bios of many successful people, they don't all grow up trust fund kids. It's a grind. It's also never too late to get into something new.
Fwiw, stable careers are boring and still can leave you wanting more. You gotta find happiness in what you do wherever that is on the income ladder.

I'm so tired of people making excuses for not being able to go skiing. Wah I'm in college, wah work won't let me, wah I can't get hurt, wah I don't have any money (bulllllshit), wah I don't have my gear, wah it's too far, wah I'm getting married, wah I have kids, wah I'm having a kid, wah wah wah fuck outta here.
It sucks balls skiing solo and traveling solo 95% of the time. I've been in every single one of those situations and made time rather than excuses. How bout people start just being transparent and coming to terms that they don't actually like to ski enough to inconvenience another part of their life. It's always gonna be "well hopefully next year" until you're dead.

Im coming to the realization that one of my coworkers offered me their "Horchata" at the St. Paddys Day party and it put my ass into the ground. That was not Horchata, that was dosed with some shit. Granted I was a few doobs deep and drank a bunch of coors, but thats not cool dude.

some lady pulled out of her driveway last week and slammed on the gas to get out infront of the oncoming car and crumpled my front right quarter panel as I turned into the street. Such BS that because i’m a minor and it’s my second accident my insurance went up when it wasn’t even my fault. Now i have to starts paying insurance because it’s $994 a quarter which is so fucked

Dude I found out my boss resigned at my possible new job last week per the Head Golf Pro who also works lift ops. Me and him were chatting over some beers at our patrol party and casually mentioned that most department heads at this Course resigned due to some beef with the Board of Members. What the fuck. I'm supposed to start on the 8th

It's never too late to get some schooling in. You'd be amazed how fast that time can go. Sounds like you already have credits completed so why waste them? Finish up or transfer into another field that you'd enjoy.

You'll figure it out, you're a smart kid.
Might be a good idea to look for a summer camp counselor job? I know you've worked with kids and you'll get free room and board? Also reach out to people in administration or counseling at whatever university is offering you the best package, tell them a *little* bit about your situation or just explain that you aren't anticipating a lot of help from your family and inquire about potential jobs you might be able to line up or any other grants or loans that might be available.

If he's being serious about kicking you out then I'd suggest
Get your important documents in check. Social, IDs, passport, birth cert, etc.
Make sure you have your own bank account without their name on it.
The camp counselor job is a good idea for sure. Room and board for the summer till you go to college.

both noted. Camp counselor seems like a great job except for the fact i’m not 18 yet. I’m sure someone would take me tho. In addition i’ll prolly speak with the coaches and aid offices at schools i’ve gotten into to figure it out.

"Are we going to have the ability to make OT next season?
"Minimally, but were gonna hire more Part Timers so we don't run into any issues..."
Oh fuck off, paid FT staff should always be the priority, not part timers and/or semi retired old guys who just want something to do.

Have you applied to your local community college and talked to them about scholarships? If a student here came to talk to me now they’d have time to figure out a plan for fall. CC might have opportunities even if you don’t end up taking classes like an employment center that can help with your resume and apps and get you job hook ups. CC credits transfer easily and out there they are SUNY credits which is better name recognition than Dartmouth IMO

so last night I'm tryna take a shower, as I turn on the water a spider crawls out of the drain. pretty normal ig, annoying but it wasn't too big or anything. maybe like 30 seconds in the shower I look in the upper backhand corner to see a fucking massive spider. I freaked tf out, it was the worst thing ever. it was probably like 3 feet big. so I could not finish the shower downstairs and took the upstairs shower instead. then, as I'm tryna take a shit today, my phone died midshit so I take out the ol' freeskier photo annual and another fucking spider drops out on my foot. like fuck basements fr.

My housing coordinator was the best this winter. I feel bad for him this week because no one cleaned the employee hostel in Grand Lake and J1's left their places in absolute disarray and he's gotta go do housekeeping all week.

My wife has a surgery scheduled for 7:30am so she can’t take kids to school she expects me to, they are never fucking on time in the OR but rather than my wife scheduling it 30 minutes later to get kids to school and me to hospital she’s going to keep it on time (again, watch everything in OR be half hr-hour late anyway) there’s literally no plan to get
me to the hospital I’m just going to keep laying here pissing in a bottle and unable to eat day it’s going to be fucking sick, all because she thinks I’m joking.
When I was in 6th grade I broke my arm snowboarding and my dad being a doctor, refused to believe anything was wrong until a week later. Now my wife is doing the same shit. Fuck I hate doctors sometimes
