Not too shabby

Well I am back in the job market, I actually turned down 3-4 jobs before interviewing for this one, and I was hired later that day pretty awesome. Its exactly what I made before with what appears to be a lot more room for growth. Temp to perm instead of just temp. I have had an interesting 2 weeks of unemployment though, and in a way I needed that little vacation, I just didn't need the absence of money. Well I sold my Nexus one on Ebay, winning bid 195, a little disappointing, but technology moves so fast so its good I got that, Craigslist people weren't really offering shit, except one guy offered me to a Nexus S trade which would of been worth it, but I need the cash. Well I will definitely be living some city life, I've decided I will be taking the rail everyday to work still driving to the station, but I still think this is the best way to get there. I guess I am little bit all over the place and I think I have been drinking way too much, but I still have plans to do it next weekend, perhaps after that I may take a little break.

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...

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.

Having a relaxing morning

I kept waking up early, because I have been opening for work all week. I had to actually force myself to sleep in some so I would not be so freakin tired at work. I am trying to get into the habit of writing regularly, so when I start blogging about specific categories I will be able to keep up with it. I have ideas going all through my head and I just need to start putting theme somewhere so I don't loose them. I've got this new app on my G1 called the Budget Droid, and I've got to say its pretty cool, a nice simple way to keep track of all my money that I spend since I'm so poor right now I need to do this, I should of done it a long time ago with a pen an paper, but carrying a checkbook or journal all the time is annoying. So that is a reccomendation I have if you have an Android phone, but I'm sure there is one for the IPhone. Nikki just bought me some new shoes and a watch yesterday, they aren't my typical style of shoes, but I like them and they are comfortable. The watch, I just miss having a watch, especially when I am driving, trying to check the time on my phone is not the safest thing to do in a car. Lets brag about Nikki some more this morning she made me coffee and let me have some of her breakfast (I made myself some too, but she gave me half her sandwich). I think I am about to take out the trash as soon as I convince myself too, then I'll have Nikki go with me and we can walk the dog.

Quakecon is coming up, and I can't wait! Although I am not sure I'm gonna have enough money for a terabyte drive before I go... I really need(want) one before I go, because I know how much crap I will be downloading in DC++. This is going to turn into a wish list lol. I want the ZuneHD in September(rumored) and a 16gb MicroSD class 6 card for my cell phone I did buy a 16GB card but it was a class 2, and realised that's slow, I should of researched ahead of time, but I was in too much of a hurry. I am sure I could go on, but I'll save it all for another post.

Listening to: Rage Against the Machine

Gaming: Light Racer (tron clone for the G1)

Watching: The Soloist (it was good, but I expected greatness)

Tinkering: Portable Apps
