Fuck that shit. I think my service may have been down once, and pretty briefly, in the 2+ years I've had my current provider.

Finally got a decent offer on a new job. But it's 1099 and one less day a week, so taking it would be counting on my current position being cool with me going down to a day and a half a week instead of outright quitting. It's a really awesome gig, my aunt knows the guy and he's just a cool old school Italian construction worker. I'd basically sit in an office by myself most of the time jamming out and doing the accounting/managing.
This is my first job change since having a car payment and rent, so it's rough. Decisions decisions.

Still hate my job, still looking. I've had four offers of employment since I started, within the pay range I'm seeking, and I turned them all down because I didn't want to work weekends or the drive is too far. But fuck that. I have another interview today and I hate where I'm at so thoroughly that I'll fucking work weekends and drive an hour every morning if the pay is right. I don't have kids. My relationship isn't in jeopardy. My car is new and runs fine.
I am so thirsty for knowledge and full of ambition the longer I stay at this dead end convoluted position. In a way, I'm thankful for how insulting and entry level this admittedly well paying job has been, because it reminded me how much more I want out of life and myself.
So this is simultaneous bitching and hoping. But mainly, I hate my job, and I think I've expressed thoroughly before exactly why.

This is why I posted for another job at work. I've told my current boss I'm bored and I need to be more challenged and it falls on deaf ears. He gave me one thing and I've already mastered it 2 months later. Fuck that, I'll go where I have room to grow and use my brain. I've never been in IT and would like to experience that side of the business. That and it's a pay increase.

Is it just me, or are people getting increasingly incapable of taking a simple joke? Today at band camp, I made a rude joke. This rude joke was directed at a girl. Here is what I said: "If you can't play the part, I'll play it". She immediately burst into tears and ran out of the room. I did nothing that necessitated that extreme of an emotional response. A simple, half joking "fuck off" would be sufficient.
Guess what? This particular situation repeated itself again today. Another girl was telling everyone what to do on the field, and I told her she should audition to be drum major next year. She found that offensive, and was "extremely upset" by it. She asked for an apology, which I did not give because that would be like taking back what I said, and what I said was serious. She has no reason to be bossing people around like that.

Mel Brooks (the creator of the movie Spaceballs) is a fucking genius. Unfortunately, his brand of humor is no longer considered acceptable by society...fuck society.

Sexist cunt.
Also, I used to love Fry when I was an ultra lefty militant atheist. Now he's insufferable to me, but I still like him as a human. I can respect strong positions.
And when he talks about oversensitivity I love him again.
Muh triggerz.

So my dumbass roommate torrented Suicide Squad today on my internet and hours later, I received an email from Bell (my ISP) and Warner Brothers warning me about copyright infringement and threatening legal action if it happens again.
Just what I needed. So I outright told him to stop downloading movies illegally off my internet, and that if I get one more email about it, not only am I changing the password and he isn't getting it (ever. He'll be done), but I'm keeping his share of the internet payment for that month too. I'm not gonna let some idiot risk me being sued for tens of thousands.

Pretty sure I'm going insane never having anyone to talk to all day at work. I'm either working by myself all day or working with a crew of people who don't speak English and/or are fucking retards. Things have picked up and I've been stuck on 14-16 hour shifts four times in the last two weeks. This seems like a dumb thing to complain about I'm sure but it's really starting to bother me. I have no decent human interaction outside my wife and family.
My wife is starting a new job at home next week, working for the company I mentioned her mom working for, that makes those goofy 3D viewers. I'm hoping that once she starts to work steadily I can look for another job or even consider some schooling or something.
I'm getting that itch to jump, my entire adult life my lifespan at a job has been about a year and a half before I start to look for a change. I've been here for two years. Literally every job I've ever had I actually left for a better one so I'm hopeful there but this job keeps me so beat into the dirt I can't get motivated for shit. I also know if they find out I'm looking for a new job they'll just flat out fire me, a practice I've seen them do so many times over the last couple years...
Tl;dr I need out of the oilfield. I need away from foreigners. I need some decent human interaction.

I dunno if I'd mind being alone that long. I doubt I would so long as work wasn't eating up my entire life. I went full on hermit for about a month whilst at university (I spent the summers there whilst everyone else fucked off home) and only ever had the briefest of real life conversations with people in shops or the gym. Was kinda cool. Started to feel like a ghost. The days definitely go quicker when you've got people to piss around with.
I'm looking forward to The Olympics being over in the news, which I guess will be about a month after the closing ceremony. The UK press/public has a fucking hard on for cycling and diving and both are total shit. I don't give a fuck about shooting, or gymnastics, or retarded events like triple jump. Or Usain fucking Bolt.
The only sports I've watched anything of are boxing (because boxing), rugby (because) and judo (which I did for quite a while and one of the guys is from my club).

I love working alone. I speak to customers though, so that can break it up a bit if they're worth speaking to.
