It's been awhile...

Wow, its been forever since I've updated this blog. Things are definitely crazier. I'm a supervisor at Clear now. Is it anything like I originally imagined? Not in the slightest.

Its even better.

There is lots of work. So much that you can't really see an end to it, and that's a good thing. Lots of things in the department changed, mostly for the better. One of my best friends is now my boss. Now before you think "oh geeze", hear me out.

Pro's: Very good lines of communication. I know what to expect, and can be very open with him.

Con's: He's an absolute tyrant when it comes to work, and that means I have to do everything perfect and on time. Failure to do so, and he will be worse to me than he is to others. Its that whole "disappointment and let down" element that friends can have.

Its worth it though. I won't let him down in bad ways (we are all human and mistakes will happen. We get over them).

I've kinda danced around with dating a bit. So far its not really going anywhere. The girl I want to date has a schedule that is a bit off from mine (by a bit I mean allot). She also doesn't have anywhere near the same views in life as me. In fact i'm certain i'd get dragged back into a few habits that I would rather not revisit. So for now its "just friends" and I remain single.

Metallica did what they do best...

...they rocked!

Its obvious most people can't spell. When I asked a fan the name of the first opening band he spelled it "voevoit". I was like "WTF?" but whatever right? Well its Volbeat. They were really good actually!

After Volbeat was finished, the second band was Machine Head. Most of the band was really awesome. Lots of hair flying all over the place, and they were into feeling the crowd. The lead singer has some confidence issues though. He felt the need to "inspire" the crowd by flapping his arms around like a chicken and making a sound that I swear sounded like "bawk bawk bawk!".

At one point the lead for Machine Head started yelling at one of the tech guys over something that was obviously not worth it because we could barely understand him anyway. Its death metal..who cares what

the lyrics are.

"Moo" ~the unobtrusive

Then the awesomeness that is Metallica came on, and all that was real was drowned out in lazer beams! Way to go guys. Lazers. Too bad there weren't sharks. It was an awesome concert despite my odd jokes about it. My legs hurt and existence is painful. Definitely a good night.

Teh Suck

Today is really rough. The week has beat me down pretty badly. I'm rediculously depressed. I don't take reject well, even minor mini not quite really rejection. I get caught up in my assumptions and expectations more than people realize.

So here I am sulking in my depression while at the same time able to stare at myself with that look of "why are you being so rediculous". There is something crazy about feeling depressed and being able to realize with lucidity that is a problem and look at it from a seperate point of view.

Dew the Warcrack

Two there are.....

Workz

So its been just a little over a month. I have a job, and I expect that I shall keep it. I will know by monday. Things are going pretty good. Just taking things one day at a time.

Evil plot to destroy the world

Once again...I have a job

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)

The Game - I win!!!

They think i'm a spam blog?

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
