Rant About Whatever

Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

r00kieTalked with her this evening. She claims nothing happened and that she remembers the whole evening. Also some polite defensiveness when I mentioned how she approaches new places and substance suddenly very differently all of the sudden. I'm still super concerned for her. I hate this.


just ask her out already

TowRopesI dislike people that make their personality about smoking weed. I have nothing against people who smoke and act like a normal person, just fed up with these deadbeats that can't live without smoking and acting like an idiot.

I love my Sakanas and my Bacons but Lines bases shed wax soo quick. I could not wax my Jeffrey’s for 2 years and they would still have wax. Meanwhile after one day both pairs need waxed again.

I cancelled plans on a chronic flake and the WHOLE WORLD ENDED.

Had tickets to a concert with a couple people - my cousin and my boyfriend’s best friends wife(we’ll call her BFBFW). My dad bought VIP tickets for my cousin and I not knowing we already tickets. I cancelled on the plans about 2-3 weeks before and offered her my cousin’s ticket so she could find someone else to go with. She told me just to sell her ticket. I listed it for what we paid and it did not sell. She found out I still went and is furious lmao

Side note- BFBFW and the best friend: They cancel plans on us ALL. THE. TIME. He cancels hangout plans with my boyfriend at least once or twice a month. They cancelled on us for a concert literally minutes before the doors opened. There’s always ann excuse. It’s infuriating and I have had enough of it for quite some time.

At the beginning of our relationship I did try to hangout with her but there was always an excuse last minute to not hangout. So I gave up. Still was civil but didn’t reach out to her any more than necessary.


Anyways, she blocked me on everything and accused me of stealing. Even though I tried to give her the ticket. She would not give me her email address to transfer it to her.


In my eyes I had to choose between her and my dad (who spent a lot of money on the tickets for us). It was a lose-lose situation for me but I’d choose him over her any day. She’s cancelled on me enough that I don’t feel bad nor do I feel like I owe her any sort of explanation. So if I had to do it again, I would still make the same decision and firmly stand by it.


It’s just so amusing to me that I cancel plans one time and it’s this huge ordeal when they cancel on us all the time. They think the world revolves around them and if someone else doesn’t cater to them it’s this huge fucking shock to them. Get over yourselves for fucking real.

I feel lucky to get the 6 hours of sleep I require for a comfortable day, cus it doesn't usually happen. More than 8 hours of sleep makes me feel ill, similar to less than 5 hours.

Depending on when you wake up in your sleep cycle, 6 hours can feel better than 8. If you try to wake up from a deep sleep around the 8 hour mark you could feel like shit but if you wake up with your natural sleep cycle around 6 hours you could wake up feeling refreshed. Also depends on the sleep quality. Quality over quantity for sure!

The cool thing about Patrolling or any wilderness EMT job is that it really is an art form in a way that there's options on how to get things done like patient care or work projects and that everyone on the team is open to collaboration and constructive helpful criticism.

But it is really frustrating sometimes as a rookie to an entirely new operation having higher ups and management comedown hard on your leads/mentors and change up our training protocols because "it's not the way I want it done"....nevermind if it's effective or not or if its better...just that "I've been doing x or y for this long and I plan to keep it that way". Dealing with the older generation patrollers and their egos is sometimes hard when you just want to learn how to do your job effectively. There's been a lot of miscommunication lately with directors being off on vacation and coming back to work and acting all pissy because things arent the way THEY want it done because they were checked out for a week....Ugh

And then the GM raised hell about our heaters in our top shack because it dropped down below freezing the other night and everything in the shack froze, it was so cold that some of our medical equipment needed to be replaced. She caught wind of that, came up to our shack, and demanded all appliances and shit be thrown out effective immediately due to it looking "ghetto" with extension cords running.

How does anyone have time for kids, I cannot imagine any scenario where I fit that into my life.

7-3pm work, 3-5pm workout and shower, 5-7 cook, eat and dishes. Yay it's 7pm and I have free time. Too bad I'm exuasted and have to clean the apt or run a bunch of errands. Socializing? No. That's for weekends.

Wait till you're out there on the road for longer. It's absolutely wild. You basically follow the general rules, but assume at any time somebody will go fully rogue. It's a friggin warzone sometimes.

well usually people with kids have some else to help. my parents have 5 kids, i don't know how they do it bless em. but my mom works from home (with occasional work trips) and my dad's job is pretty flexible. if it wasn't it would be tough.

That's a good point but we both want to keep working as much as we can. It's not impossible but just sucks that everyone has to make sacrifices on things like proper healthy cooking or hitting the gym. I guess that's why it's called a dad bod

Ah there you go. 1-2 more hours by cutting sleep to 6 or 7hr. You can cut the gym and cooking time by an hour each. So 8 hours free time. If you really got shit to do, lose sleep and now you're at 10+ extra hours.

It's amazing. One of my directors said "It's the greatest Dead-end job in the world" and I feel that so hard. Money's super tight, but you get to help people on-snow and learn a bunch of cool shit so yeah, Definitely recommend. Honestly anyone who skis regularly and/or lives around the mountains should consider some sort of EMT or WFR training. You really never know, I've only patrolled for 2 seasons and have seen plenty of wild head-scratching shit.

Hell yeah man that’s dope, I just miss being outside and on my feet too. I imagine I can get a nice cushy job in tech but also comes with a lot of BS. I just wish I was closer to a mtn.

trail building or some shit like that seems pretty cool too in the off-season as well

Hard days come with any job but yeah, I also resonate with that too as well. My issue is I need to get more serious about exploring other EMS/WFR/Fire jobs myself. I'd like to explore Wildland Firefighting myself because that sounds fun as fuck digging lines with the boys.

Lol not necessarily. You just gotta determine what is a priority, including how much you wanna see your kids, and what you wanna give up. It's harder if you're a woman because no matter how involved the dad is, the mom is definitely gonna have more responsibility when a child is concerned.

For example, I got a buddy who has two kids under the age of 3, working full time with on-call responsibilities and still finds time for hobbies like training for triathlons and going backpacking.

Kids who live in their parents houses, get gifted cars. Then whine about their parents are ungrateful. My parents booted my ass out of their house when i was 23. Best thing that ever happened to me. Now we have a great relationship.
