I get it. That's a pretty bold statement, but I swear to God I am not exaggerating. I stopped into Krispy Kreme this morning to grab some doughnuts for work and when I walked out of there with a dozen of these bad boys, a total stranger gave me a head nod. Respect. Bringing fat pills into work is a menial task, but somebody has to do it.
I now regret not taking a picture of this, but the doughnut rack that had these in it had a big sign
But let's get back to the topic at hand. Since I claimed today is the best day of my life, I will rank my top five days of all time.
1. Today
Enough said.
2. My last day before terminal leave in the Navy
This was a fucking awesome feeling. I remember walking into the IT shop to turn in my hard drive and the government employee who was busy doing nothing asked me if I could come back after lunch to turn it in. I told him it was my last day and I wasn't going to be here after lunch. I win.
3. The day I left Ridgecrest, CA
If there is a bigger shithole on this planet, I have not found it. Words can't begin to describe how much I hated this fucking place. Dropping off my keys at the Coldwell Banker property management office was THE HIGHLIGHT of my 20's. The best part was when I went to break my lease via the military clause a few months before, the lady asked where I was moving. When I mentioned Southern California, she smugly said "That's a higher cost of living area." I then proceeded to shit down her throat by saying "Yeah, well in the military you get a housing allowance that's based off of the cost of living in the area so I should be able to afford it."
4. The day I got accepted to business school
This might seem low on the list, but c'mon, did you see my top 3? Hard to compete with that. Anyway, I remember EXACTLY what I was doing when I got the call. I was in sweat pants, lying on my couch watching the movie "Jeff, Who lives at home" when I got the call. Knowing my transition plan from the Navy was a full go and it wasn't anything taught in fucking TAPS class was a fantastic feeling.
5. The day I got orders to leave Ridgecrest, CA
Leaving was a fantastic day. But getting the call in April letting me know I'd be moving elsewhere in July was pretty fucking great too. Can you not feel how much disdain I have for this place? Google Map it then switch to Earth mode. You will see where my hate comes from.
