Work going good oh and Wave! :-)

I am still in training for my new job.. yea its a lot of training and the final test will be Monday! pass that and then I start answering phones then in a week I'm working a new crappy Schedule... which is cool I will be able to get it changed in 90 days and once I show I am excellent I should have first bid. Anyways I got my google Wave invite today! woot, looks like quite a few went out today, couple of my contacts showed up on there as well, and well I had to invite a couple people next to me.. because I was checking my e-mail at work... yea bad idea. and wave wow... Its a chat room with missing features, I really am not sure what to do with it.... its really cool, I think it will almost be better as a website builder with a friend than anything else, maybe when I get a lot of people in a wave the purpose will change for me. short terrible grammar post today.

New job test tommorow

Yea so I've been a little preoccupied with things to write, however I thought about writing quite a few times just never really got around to it. Well anyways I started my new job last week 10-26-09 w00t! and so far so good I do believe I am the youngest person out of my hire group(class).. yea there is this 5 week class that we go through for a "Major Telecom Company that has a contract with Telvista" I am actually not aloud to say what company it is, however I believe telvista's website has all their contracts *cough*. So blockbuster is completely done with and what was my store is suppose to become and "permanent outlet store" which means they won't rent, but not close either even though on my last day we got store closing signs... upper management is still lying to my once fellow employees that the store will not close. We'll see and honestly I would love it to stay open. Anyways maybe not working their I will actually stop talking about the old BBV well until I get a combo movie or game pass.... So I've got a 2nd xbox 360 nice and modded to play my backups... and honestly its great for lanning as well instead of buying the game twice (I do own a legit copy of these) I just hate split screen that much....

I thought I would be bored of my phone already, but new roms and apps continually come out.... now I still get jealous about newer phones coming out especially that Verizon is getting the new DROID which is just amazing, yet I am sure that when my contract is up there will be absolutely amazing phones out... now T-Mobile was DOWN yesterday... all over the united states effecting (they said 5% of their customers) yet twitter and message boards... lead me to believe that it is way higher than that.

Sudden stop here I am not fully sure how to end today's post, other than I am going to make my Girlfriend some dinner and pamper her tonight she has had a rough week with her "new" job (had for a few months) so shes already to job hunt... but I am hoping to relax her some tonight...

Three weeks notice (gotta write a two weeks)

Hey by this title you should know I did finish that resume, and well I did get a job. I will be working at Telvista.. its a company that contracts out technical support, so essentially I will be Verizon FIOS technical support. This job looks very promising I start out with pretty good pay and after 90 days it goes up a dollar. The first month is class which sounds pretty cool, however it is way early in the morning starting at 7 (thats usually the time I wake up for work now) then I get to choose whether to do my 40 hours in 5 days or 4 days! thats good news I believe I will be going with the 4 days 10 hour shifts.. I mean why not you are already there whats 2 more hours and then have a 3 day weekend! I may be getting to excited about this job but I really don't hear any bad things about it... the benefits are good, full time, and there are companies that love to hire from Telvista, so I could easily work my way up with this job, its a great foot in the door. Well now it looks like I gotta get to writing my two weeks notice for Blockbuster...

once again I am writing in my blog to try and get my mind the writing mood (which I always do listening to the Nine Inch Nails Ghosts albums). So I really enjoyed blockbuster as a company except some of the more nasty customers and retarted decisions the company would make every now and then, but the worst part (the reason why I am leaving) is because even though I am a manager I am not a store/sales manager I am technically part time although for the past 2 years I had been working 40 hour weeks, so now it turns out all of a sudden I can't get more than 32 hours a week that basically comes down to 200 dollars less a month to an already strict budget, so I'm gone as of the 24th I shall no longer be employed at Blockbuster (23rd should be my last day).... I will miss certain things about the company yes, however I won't really mind finishing up this chapter in my life.

Should be writing a resume.

Well just like my title says I should be writing a resume, but I need to think right now. I've notice blog writing can be difficult to write if you have to write something, however since I have no pressure to write or really and audience to please I can use it to brain storm. So basically my resume is kinda meh at best, just need to write a nice little Objective section as well as a interest section. Thinking 1-3 sentences about needing a job to gas up my life some how for the objective. As for interests I was thinking about talking about my computer interests and the fact that I am a conversationalist and enjoy talking to people as well as learning. So I guess now I need to word it perfectly and with the correct grammar.

How this all started well... it started a while ago, I mean my first blog post is about trying to make money. My current employer who will be named (remain nameless sounds cooler though), Blockbuster has made it very important that I do not work more than 32 hours a week, because my title is officially a part time and not full time, even thought I have worked 40 hours a week for pretty much 2 years. Holidays are coming up as well as other things coming out.... So I am going to get a new job, I have to. So after listening to some TWiT I am going to work on my resume some more and perhaps apply at some places just in case "resume jobs" don't work out so well.

I need to hit the play button on life

Alright this weekend was awesome and not awesome, it was awesome because we had a soaking we kegger, and it sucked because we had a soaking wet kegger. So I enjoyed the party I just have a problem with getting all my clothes all mudded up having to clean them and sleeping in a leaking tent. There were some marine buddies in town, plus my usual peeps that I hang out with so really it was awesome. That was Saturday night to Sunday morning, don't worry if you want to check it out the pictures are under the PARTY section in my picasa which were there really quick.

I want a new job and a change, now don't get me wrong I am very happy with my life, but things have to get moving. I am not really meaning college, but I do want to get some certifications like A plus and CCNA, which I am positive I could walk in and pass the Aplus no problem, but I will make sure to study both before I go in that way I have a less chance of failing and wasting the cost of the exam. My job is meh I like Blockbuster, but things just happen that more and more make you want to move on so I want to. Publishing this post could just give me that incentive, because quite frankly my manage looks at facebook and my facebook has my friendfeed tab on my profile and she can find it, but I really don't think she will, not that its a problem if she does. I just want a new job.

FYI added gdgt widget to the right ->

The interwebz

Now the internet is amazing... access to tons of information at my fingertips... and well google simplifies it all. Since I've gotten my G1 cell phone I have been living in the cloud, I update my calendar, contacts, documents, and pictures all there, I have not gotten to the point of paying for it yet (already at 50% with picasa and I have not been uploading full resolution pictures either). Lately I have not been trying to simplify everything as you will notice the friendFeed embedded to the right. With this there will be redundancy and this post will show up there, but I feel that's not a big deal. I actually titled this the interwebz, because well that's what I am doing creating this web of my crap essentially. In a perfect world everyone would use all the stuff I use and just be happy with it. It would be great if all my friends used google calendar, but they don't. So I add applications to facebook for my picasa and google calendar, to make my life easier, yet they still don't seem to check it ... and that sort of defeats the purpose now doesn't it? I could always make my friendFeed update my facebook status as well, but from what I people hate that, and I don't need to broadcast to everyone, whenever I play a game (because my raptR now updates friendFeed) I have considered the ping.fm route, which can be good for a variety of things, but I don't necessarily like the way that works, and some people find it impersonal.

My wish list (since not everyone will use everything) would be that there will be more and more intergration with everything on the web, and Facebook connect is an excellent start. so to stay in contact with me is pretty easy, because I try to use everything I hate AIM, but raptr has it integrated so why not. Well the internet is calling me and I need to ruin my attention span some more.

Quakecon! and everything else

Well Quakecon was freakin awesome. This year I was a little bit lazier with qcon, because I decided to skip the Wednesday night preregistration and left saturday night. Which normamily I preregister Wednsesday night go home sleep show up thursday and go back and forth to the event until Sunday afternoon. This time went Thursday morning registered then and stayed till 4 in the morning friday, came home slept a few hours went back to qcon around noon Friday then did not leave until Saturday night 10pm-ish. This was my 7th Quakecon. My Quakecons=2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, and 2009. 2004-2006 I was a kid and my dad and grandpa were no longer interested in Quakecon, plus I was focusing more on my kickboxing as well. Hopefully I will be able to goto Quakecon every year and look foward to my 8th year in 2010! I had a lot of fun, but I do regret not taking any pictures, because well I brough my camera and everything, I was just to busy having fun. So I don't really have anything to show you. Another thing I only got 2 free shirts and neither one of them are the main Quakecon 2009 shirt!! WTF?! I guess I will have to pick one up next year or ebay (just checked didn't see any *gasp*)

I am not a news reporter nor do I necessarily want to be the more I think about it.  I would like to blog, but honestly writing is not really something I always enjoy doing.  So I don't think I'm gonna keep up with a lot of sites, in this already very competitive market.  For instance in tech news I try and follow 2 blogs, but already they are so good and so fast that I usually end up reading about new things twice I couldn't imagine trying to compete with those (Gawker's Gizmodo and engadget) ... grr I get so lazy with my posts, when I originally had a lot more effort into it, but I guess I'm going to just chill and write run-on sentences and not care.


screw it I'm listening to NIN Ghost because I figured it would help me focus and type, but I forgot to close steam and ppl are msging me grr now I am not focused ... I'll write later
