Calm, patient, reserved. I have taken the time to really change how I do and view things. I know I can't ever really go back to what I had but maybe I can start fresh and gain something better. I have broken of my dependency. Its been 25 days. I had to fall hard and hit rock bottom to know the true values of what I had. I have become more reliable and have gained a sense of self follow-through. I have been more honest and upfront to those around me. I have become more confrontational and evaluative.
I have the power to change things around me and do what I need to do to get where I need.
For all that may have happened, I have already forgiven and forgotten. I want to live every day like its my last because nothing in this world is more important than each year, month, day, hour, minute and second. I am not religious by any means but to value being alive is better than to live in fear of death.
For those that I love I will go through any obstacle to ensure you make it through to the other side.

[24 Sep 2008|09:27pm] |
So I am now transition from Walmart, and what I really mean walmart is LIFESUCKING-SOULLEECHING-BACKBREAKING-CRAZYBITCHING-IWOULDRATHERWALKOVERHOTCOALS slave farm to Prince Telecom where I am training to be a Cable Installation Tech under Comcast. I hope this venture goes well because it pays well. I should be making about double what I am at walmart. The best part it is that its A DAY JOB :O
I also applied for the 300th time for a credit card to consolidate my last two credit cards AND I WAS APPROVED. THANK YOU CHASE (ironic I used to customer acquisition at livebridge for them) :O
Things are back on the positive... WOAH

| Hello |
[10 Apr 2008|04:34pm] |
Hello everyone. I am still alive and well. No one ever said posting often was my best attribute. Today I just wanted to give some small highlights(I also highlighted my hair, blond of course). I still work at walmart. I am currently being paid just a few bucks over minimum wage. It sucks pretty bad but I am currently working on getting my CompTIA A+ certification, which would open the doorway of opportunity to work with PC repair jobs. I have always said that I enjoy computers too much to work with them often. Time has progressed and I have learned that physically working my ass off 5 days a week will probably shorten my life span. I liked working in an office but it dealt too much with customer interaction. I think working behind the scenes with repairing the most important tool of our century will be my dream for now. Robert has gotten his first credit card and is learning the fancy world of credit. Emergency's only was the first thing I said but you have to go buck wild once to know your limits eh??
I think that I can sum up pretty much everything as going pretty nifty. I have been working on moving into a new room but we have to repair it first. It has a lot of painful work ahead but of course it will be worth it in the end.
Hope everyone is enjoying school and careers and all that jazz.
See you soon

| The quarterly/yearly/what the hell whenever update |
[05 Dec 2007|11:03pm] |
So its been awhile since I have updated. Of course things have changed. In august I purchased a new puppy. Her name is ... Tinkerbell (of course I didn't know that was paris hilton's dog name selection) ...
She is a vivacious, active young dog with plenty of bite left in her. Even though she is a minpin I think she may have a little Japanese in her.. since she has a bit of a panty thieving fettish.
I received my holiday gift from "mother-in-law", which happens to be the 16g IPod Touch :)
I have to say, it currently runs great, fewer glitches than I expected. The video feature is perfect for work, big enough for details and subtitles, small enough not to have to share with everyone in the breakroom!
Robert has his PS3, happy more than ever, add that with gamefly and it's like a nerds paradise up in here.
I now work at wal-mart. I am not to excited about that however it works. I know what a tyrant they are but I did what I had to do to get a full time job after ACS. I have since had extreme muscle strain but some weight-loss. I notice that I compensate with more sweets when I have potential weight-loss! So yeah, update laters, bye

So today is my second day off this week. I am so much happier now that Robert is working and helping me out. My financial struggle seems like its starting to end. I haven't had much to post about because as I have said in the past I believe that each day is day is the same.
I found an interesting book that I have started to read. It's called "Hero" by Perry Moore. It's a book about a gay, coming of age, superhero. From what I have read so far, its basically placed in current times and is written in a autobiography style. I think I can actually finish this book.
Working as an overnight stocker at walmart is so much more relaxing and I can listen to at least one earbud of my IPod. Though that does get me some funny looks and stares when I am pulling palettes and getting my groove on.
I moved from one major corp to another, freakin' conglomo world "WE OWN YOU!"
I ran into Matt-imus Max-imus at IHop, SMALL WORLD!! Hi Matt, thanks for inviting me to the bar. I will take advantage of it soon, just need my escape plan if I get blitzed.
Did I tell anybody how much I love Cherry Pepsi!?
Hello everyone, how goes it!?

On June 16th, I officially quit ACS. I have been hired and work at Fred Meyer's as a NCR Clerk or otherwise known as the vitamin and organic/vegetarian section. I love it, my feet kill me but the stress level went from 500% to -1%. My manager is fabulous and my trainer is down to earth. I have reached a mile stone in my life.

So I went and got a haircut today, and found out that parking next to a sidewalk you can only park in the direction of the side of the street its on. When did that fucking traffic law come in? After 6 years you would think I would have figured it out?!
My barber thought it would be cute to put blue glitter in my hair. I'm a fairy!! (so many ways to take that).
Yesterday my big toe on my right foot that for some reason to act as though if it was my heel so I completely bent it the wrong way. I have been having to walk on the ball of my foot.
I also went and got BK french toast sticks, and got syrup all over my shorts. Blargh

Well after ditching work yesterday I feel more needy than before and the need to stay home is stronger. I am floating on thin string already with my recent attendance. I think careerbuilder is nothing but a big phishing scam...
I am glad that I purchased an IPod, that helps pump me up before work.
Ditching yesterday felt good. I watched way too many America's top model episodes, I think my brain fried..

I haven't had much luck with finding a new job lately. I have been playing Mario Party 8. Its tons of fun. I also have been blowing things up with command and conquer. The occasional guild wars. But every minute I play something I feel guilty for not trying to explore other revenues for better education or employment, but it sure helps drown out some of the lack of money noise. I also want to continue looking into a trip of sorts, money wise it will just take some savings. I like savings, I have a 401k!, I am fucking 21 years old and have a 401k?? Maybe at the end of my working career my 401k will be a half million and I can be a rich old bastard... then again my whole working career would consists of making a total of like 250k ..

I feel like everything is going ok. The hopelessness kind of lingers all the time now. Maybe a promotion will come... I can't do much customer service longer.. I am a person who takes it too personal.

I have been working hard to seek different employment and for some reason I seem inadequate for any jobs I post for. I don't even get the courtesy of rejection letters... wtf
I work for a company I guess thats view as bad joojoo for other employers or someting!!!
I am not asking for a liver transplant, I just want a job that is a little more than just minimum wage that requires light lifting duties or clerical stuff.
Bah, how are you ever supposed to get any experience that these places are looking for if no on ever takes a chance. Fuck this... I need college or something, I can't afford that either though. Gah, someone shoot me.

Today was a gorgeous day. Especially since I decided to ditch out on work. I have been working hard to clean up my surroundings. I did the front lawn and started working around the fire pit. I am sure that anyone that has seen my new pad will agree it needed mowing. Now to work on a front porch and a garden...
I recently purchased a Wii and all the gadgets to go with it and its making life more interesting. Good job nintendo !! I have paper mario and warioware smooth moves. So much fun!!

Wednesday was fun, went to the mall and did some shop-ping. I dont know if its just me but after 15 minutes my feet get soar. I think there is a gravitational pull in the mall to pull more of my fat down upon me to make me feel fatter so that I buy more health products and $200 orthopedic shoes.
Thursday I ended up trying to NWN2, but the netplay is so fucked on it. And Hamachi keeps giving me a relayed/slow connection to the person hosting it. I have probably burped the ABC's backwards trying to get it to work smoothly. I wanted to my computer and the router and route their ass outside.
Today I have been lazing around trying to find other solutions to try and play NWN2 today. I hope it works cause I may have some free equipment at the end of the driveway when I am done!!

So everyone at work got a little entertainment yesterday. They were delighted to know my real "nickname". I never thought I would hear the end of it. But it gave me some humility instead of being that "stuck-up know it all".
I have been commanded to get a hair cut and grow a gotee again(no robert, you aren't dying your hair any colors). I have a problem with growing facial hair though. I grow this really course red hair (so I know I have some Scandinavian heritage somewhere.) Brown hair red face!!
I have been playing ffxii like any nerd and its going extremely slow. This game has a guide thats thick as a guide. And the guide even says that the game can have over 100 hours of game play. Ok ok square-enix .. I get it... you were told to make the game worth peoples time. So 100 hours for $50... you did it... congratulations. It reminds me somewhat of FFVIII because of all the side quests.
I am hoping that I get back into workforce management next week, my fear is that they will think that because the took me out of the puzzle and it worked that they can run it like that permanently.

| training frustrations |
[28 Feb 2007|10:13am] |
Ever want to scream in the middle of a room with 20 people crammed together?? That exactly what I want to do. I have been acclaimed for my knowledge, sought after with knowledge but I have the worst job of all... trying to assist someone who is probably over 60 years old. They have never ever touched a computer before training. EVER. I am trying to be patient with them but they FREAK out every time the class is asked to navigate their computers to do something. She is like "Woah.. woah ..woah"
And she has this URGE to close the window shes working with when we stop for a few seconds.
Customer service after 55+ .... and survey says
RETARDED!!
Other than that I have been trying to see if I can still do the diet on a awkward schedule like this.
I haven't talked to any of you guys in a long time but hopefully my consistency will allow you to become more familiar with me.

I have been recently asked to back through training to be able to be on the phones again. Because of revenue has been poor, they are going to sit the person down who controls the revenue. WTF to that...
I have been told its temporary, and so I guess that is comforting some... The fact of the matter is that I am still getting paid the same from my understanding. Though most of my special computer privileges were tanked out from underneath me.
I have failed my diet, I got sick and just couldn't take sugarless chocolate! That would be unacceptable. Since I have been in the 2:30pm-11pm training I have been having to eat out.
"The plague" as I like to call it, leaves you with a runny nose and heavy cough. I have been trying to shake it for over a week now.

It has been an interesting winter. I have been trying to start a diet... you know.. for the summer.
And no, its not going as well as I had hoped.
I dearly miss my pop and jack in the box.

[23 Jul 2006|09:38pm] |
So my most recent life happenings. Robby went to virginia... Again. And will be returning on thursday. I recently got promoted from being a rep to a corporate payroll employee. I doing traffic again however this time I am actually in a higher authority than any of my previous supervisors. I am getting over $10.00+ an hour now. I am making more than most who do not have a college degree of some sorts. It's not bad. I have been mulling around cleaning up my downstairs cause its filthy. I like cleaning sometimes cause I like the feeling of the end result before its finished.
Its a lot more fun to use a computer when the environment around it is clean. :D
