Okay so I start a new job on monday. Lets hope this time that i'm not dashed onto the sidewalk as bad as I was last time. The stratosphere job still hurts.
Its customer service oriented. More call center work but not tech support.

Only slightly humorous...gushingly so.
So my dad is helping me file bankruptcy (I can't thank him enough in my lifetime).
As I was taking one of the online courses for credit counseling I ran across this image. Now...i'm not proud of it, and will be glad that its gone, but still, I try to find life's little "idiosomethings" slightly humorous.

OMGWTFBBQ
So the weather is starting to ease up a bit. This will make what i'm doing now much easier. I'm going to be seeding fliers here and there for doing PC work. At least i'll be able to make some money in the meantime while i'm trying to find another job.
Also, this blog may soon find its end. I'm debating on making facebook my active blog. Not sure though since I have a desktop widget (windows vista sidebar) that lets me post directly to this blog. =)

What goes up, must explode in my face!
So the Gaming Control Board requires people to have a credit score that they can consider not "at risk"..even if that department doesn't handle money.
I found this out because I was walked out yesterday of my wonderful beautiful perfect dream job. My credit sux!!!
So last night I printed out my credit report, and get to spend the rest of the week making contact with some unsaviory folk, and seeing what parts of my body I can auction off. Yay!

awesome!!!
My job is fantastic! I got to do allot of exploring the property. Seeing the tower, and its rides, and the resteraunts, and the pool.
It was tiring. Not used to being on my feet and walking around that much. Tomorrow is going to be great!!!

Well its been awhile
Okay, so an update.
1. I'm employed. This morning i'm off to my first official day at work.
2. I'm happy as a bug in a rug! Its not just a "job" its a career.
I'm working at the Stratosphere doing IT Support Desk work. I was expecting to get a piddly job delivering pizza or something else in that realm. I was honestly done with call center work (which thankfully I can still say that I am done with call center work).
Getting back into the Hotel industry is a breath of fresh air. A little history...
Previously my hotel help desk experience was with Caesar's Palace. The job was really good, but the manager wasn't so much. I had a female manager that was..well....a bitch.
Now she wasn't just the "I'm Queen and you will do what I tell you" kinda of bitch. I can deal with that. She was the "Oh i'm sorry you're a fucking idiot, NOW FUCK OFF" kind of bitch.
As a manager, that's just not acceptable. You have to have a level of empathy to be a good manager. There can't be any "stupid questions" and you can't really tell someone that they are a "stupid person" no matter how much you want to. You have to encourage morale, and boost productivity and quality. Somewhere along the managerial courses she was taking for business management she must have missed that part. Instead she though Hitler was a great inspiration for a manager, and her employees were the Jews.
Anyway...so I had an interview last week and am already starting the job. It felt like I had the job before I walked in the door. God was very much with me and gave me a feeling of encouragement that I hadn't had in quite sometime. Then my interview iwith Don just reconfirmed that God was definitely a tremendous influence in the situation. Even the weird bump in the road that was Don's boss (I think his name is Jim). He was a great guy too! But he asked questions, and thankfully broke the ice by giving me a hard time. ;) Its amazing how much you relax when someone starts to make fun of you haha!
It was a very untraditional interview, with some suprisingly untraditional people. I think i'm gonna get along great with these guys! The rest of the Support Desk seems to be incredibly friendly too. It was neat to walk into a help desk environment and to see smiles instead of the "Call Center Slaves Dejected and Oppressed half grin of faked customer service". You know what i'm talking about.
Anyway, my ride should be here in a few moments. I'll post another blog after work (unless I get distracted by something shiny like twilight princess or world of warcraft w00t!!!)

Pork and Beans
So there has been a neat video by weezer out for a few months called "Pork and Beans". At first I thought it as just genius how they gave tribute to so many internet meme's, but then I found out that most of the appearances of those "stars" was the actual people who originally performed those videos. (including Ryan Weber and Dorkman)
They flew everyone to their studio and spent 4 days filming the video. (that's right..the mentos fountains are real mentos fountains). Props to Weezer. That is teh awesome. Ima gonna go do something else now. Have a great day peeps.

Yay Moving sucks!!!
I'm feeling better, which is good. But I hate moving. Still unemployed too but I figure since i've exhausted everything I can find on this side of town that peaks my interest, then its time to go to the other side of town and plug that full of holes too. Yay!!!

Moving...
So i'm moving this weekend. Not too thrilling especially since i'm sick at the sametime. Thankfully its one of those off and on again sicknesses where one minute I feel fine, and then next minute i'm lifting a box and trying not to puke. Yay!!!
I'm working on a 4th edition dnd campaign. Lots of stuff up in the air. I'm going to make a blog soon that i'll used to post short stories and blurbs on the game. I'm thinking of calling the campaign world "Red Eclipse". One of the signatures to the game will be whenever great change occurs, the red moon eclipses the sun and bathes the world in a crimson glow. What do you guys think? (post comments)

Don't they know i'm a carrot? I don't do the "spam" thing. Canned processed ham byproduct is not my cup of tea. =P

DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!
I don't know...i'm in a really funky mood. Its a pain in the ass for me to express myself sometimes. I get a little venting through my tabletop gaming, and get to vent some in rockband, but sometimes just a little venting isn't enough.
Problem is I often feel if I just blurted shit out, i'd lose friends real fast. There are elements of my character that I'm trying to change (and that takes time), and those elements will come out like bile amongst all the rest of the crap.
There are just some days when you wish you could transform into a 50 foot tall monster and just start trashing things.

April Fools is Over! Get back to the tasks at hand.
So april fools was as usual...predictable. Why so?
Because everyone tries to make cruel jokes. The problem with this, is that if something serious does happen..there's no safety word to let you know its not an april fools joke. Instead its backwards..if its a joke they say "april fools" but if its not, you sit there second guessing.
What i'd like to see is something creative in the way of a prank that the victim will also find funny. It would take some imagination. So, what I challenge you to do is this..
...come up with something fun, and funny to do with a friend. Suprise them in a enjoyable way. And do it on any day other than april fools. Then on April Fools, have a rule that no pranks are played. Its kinda like vampires and demons coming out on halloween..its just considered bad form. So from now on, April Fools is a "no prank" day for me...but every day other than that..is open season (in a fun and creative way).

PWN'D!!! ...said the judge
So if you click the title to todays blog you'll find a rather amusing article...
...on a side now HELLO!!!
Its been awhile since i've posted. I'm sorry. I suck I know. But i'm back.
I've been dealing with allot of stress and anxiety that has left my physically effected. Mentally i'm mostly kewl...at least now I am. Been making some rather powerful changes in my life.
Never knew that change could be so hard..but when the world or even your flesh seems to rebel against you..then you must be doing something right. =)
There will be more posts coming soon.
