Brian’s Weblog

Hello again, just to update the work situation, this week started off good with the computer repair shop. Doing good, holding my own. Decided that I needed to know Windows 7 a little better and got a copy from the shop. I am not generally a fan of Windows but see it as a necessary evil. If I am going to fix them, I need to get familiar with it. Gotta admit, Windows 7 works pretty well, it has lots of eye candy, but still fast and agile. I am still in the testing stage so I will write more later. Let’s hope that my part time work keeps up.

Well, I found a part time job working at a computer repair shop. I am amazed how bad people let their computers get. I mean, don’t stop at the first sign of a flat tire, just keep going till it’s down to the rim and lose control into a pole, then, can you fix this in an hour? Well, its something, not as many hours as I was hoping for, but it is a start. I haven’t gotten anything from the Temp agencies yet. They make it sound like there is work, but they haven’t called once, and I have called within 5 minutes of them opening everyday this week. SO, things aren’t bad, they aren’t that good, and I am dealing with it. STILL, haven’t gotten a note from my long lost friend. That would make my week better.

Been thinking of an old friend that shared some good times and a lot of smiles with me. I hope she is doing well. This song makes me think of her.

Learned yesterday, by stopping in to the place that I didn’t get the job I was talking about yesterday. The company decided since they were such a industry niche place, they didn’t need to update, what traffic they do get is mostly follow up after the salesman gets to them. They chose someone else with years of AutoCAD seat time. So, that kinda sucks.

I am going nuts over here. This job I am waiting for is perfect for me. All that I like to do, they need done, and willing to pay me for it. I just have to wait for them to get together and decide who they want. This wait is killing me. I want to have a backup plan and there are so few jobs here. I am too qualified for most. I was told at one warehouse company they didn’t want a carpetbagger, they didn’t someone that didn’t want a long term job. They could see that I am CDL driver from my resume and they know CDL jobs aren’t here right now, and that as soon as they were, I would leave. I can’t say that I blame them, they would hire me, train me for 2 weeks, and then I would leave in 8 weeks. I am SEVERELY running out of money, freaking out and can’t find a job. I have a good feeling about the AutoCAD job, but wow, its just so stressful. I got 2 friends that disappeared that I would LOVE to have updates from but not a thing to be seen or heard. I know things will get better but wow, a few things could make life so much easier right now.

Just to repeat the super way back post on how to contact me and comments I will go ahead and repeat what’s what.

Well, here we are once again. First day of the new year. I didn’t do anything last night, did have a few beers but it wasn’t one for the record books.  A friend of mine’s computer died and I couldn’t get it working again, I pretty much did all I could over the phone, still had lots more stuff to try, but needed it here in front of me. So for a while I was a little pissed I couldn’t get it to work, I am usually successful. It was over the phone and I realize that, I just don’t like to lose.

I am hoping this year goes better then last, had a bunch of friends come and go. Wish a couple of them would have stayed, happy to see one of them go. Couple have surprised me and sent a message after a LONG time of not hearing a  word, (talking to you Luciana) and it made my holiday so much better. I am really excited about a job prospect and this year will go better, I will see to it.
