Whaddup Now

Life without a pcphone....i swear! It's worse than survivor! Ok not that bad but still. I'm glad I got to see how DEPENDENT I was to that phone. It was my crack! My pcphone was my:
*Phone
*SMS/MMS messenger
*Calendar
*Contacts
*Task Manager
*Web Browser
*GPS
*Shopping List / Jot Notes
*Sometimes my camera
*Lover

So my phone losts it's GSM signal...and I did some research on how to update it. With caution I proceeded to upgrade my ROM. The minute the upgrade failed at 0%, my phone bricked out on me. Well it pops up in bootloader mode and recognizes a USB cable. So now it is my project. But in the mean time I need to buy a replacement (found one for $225, but I'm cautious)...or get a different pda/smartphone

Job Interview: Ok...when you buy a car, you want to go to the right guy, find the right car and feel pleasant after the transaction is over with or at least not leave with that raped feeling. So I had a job interview at the Naval Research Lab. I aced the phone interview and was ready to talk to them on their turf. The time was set for 1pm on the 22nd. I had a POC number and directions. So I had everything they sent me filled out, and when I got to the car I noticed the directions did not mention how to get there from 395N. Ok...I don't have a PCPHONE to lookup the address and my GPS can't find the NRL. So I attempted to call my POC. Nobody answered. Called home and was told to take 295N. Ok...doesn't sound right...called pops and got the addy. Cool...so I'm running a lil late, but make it to the visitor's center. Filled out the entry form and was told they couldn't get a hold of my POC. So they found a different number and come to find out the POC I was given was out to lunch. O.....M.....F.....G! Are you fucking kidding me? Whatever, so what now? Now I got to find/drive building 209 (they gave me a map...how nice)
So instead of these chumps coming to meet me at the visitor's center I'm gonna drive around this "yard" and find them. Cool, so there's broken glass on their roads (IDKY) and after 10mins I find the building (LandNav was never my specialty). Realizing I'm already late there is NO time for meditation. So I focus on breathing IN/OUT while going to the building as I don't want a bad interview. I step inside the renovating building and summon the 1950's elevator to come down. Eventually it reaches the ground floor. Ok I need to get to room 544B....hmmmm the elevator has 6 buttons; G, 1, 2, 3, 4, R.....OH FUCK ME SIDEWAYS! I'LL BE GAWD DAYUM'D IF I INTERVIEW ON THE FUCKIN ROOF!!! So I push 4 just incase G=1, 1=2...etc! So what is on the 4th floor? NOTHING! Now when you picture nothing you're probably thinking lighs, a blank wall/hallway. Fair enough....these fuckers didn't even have the drywall up! I saw the buildings insides! Well once I saw that all I could do was laugh! If I didn't laugh I was gonna get more and more tense...so it might not have been theraputic but that whole way down the elevator to the car and back to the house (with a much needed starbucks break on the way) I laughed and said to myself "Fuck me! I can't believe I went pass the visitor's section".

Today I wrote the recruiter letting them know where they need to improve. Directions was one, Meeting in the visitor's center is another and finally GET A FUCKIN POC WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE. So I'm still huntin for the next best thing, but I tell you what.
If you don't give a fuck about the person attempting to work for you, don't waste my time having by having me get dressed up! Fuck if I ever interview for them...i'll do it as a joke! I'll wear some worn out jeans and an I'm with Stupid polo (cuz I'm classy like dat!) and then interview!

Lasty...I'm going to hawaii to calm my nerves...Back in the day when I had money (~*Le Sigh*~) I got myself a 1st class ticket to see my good friends will and kristy get married. I can't wait to see my kuwait buddies!

Th Night

Aight so this week i'm gonna be pet sitting and playing with this brand new 2.5 dual ghz centrino, 4GB ram, 240GB 7200 RPM, 512MB Vid Card, Int finger scanner/webcam/mic, brightview 17" screen! Ohh yeahhhhhh.....mmmmm....talk geeek to me! oooOh! HP Laptop I'll be in Springfield this week and have a 4BR house with a sunroom n hottub all by me onesies! Oh yeah, dirty is gonna chillax this week! I do have an interview on Monday though and the recruiter actually shot me an e-mail sayin to dress professionally. My instincts was to reply back with: Huh DoooooY! but, i guess this thing called maturity (damn u aging!) had me just shake my head up n down thinkin of what else I "could've" replied back with...I was also thinkin, so is that a No for showing up in just a purple thong? It's a business attire I use for my "night job".

Awwww....I sure do miss technical recruiting. It was the BoMb when I was a recruiter...u got lonely by not interacting with people, but your hours freakin rocked especially if u were hiring the right people. From what I hear, things are more organized and structured in Kuwait! Where the hell was I at when I was trying to get that setup! LoL! wow...this blog went from pet sitting, to gettin a hard-on off this HP Laptop, interviewing to technical recruiting. Talk about your A.D.D., eh? So tonight I'll head home and pack some stuff up for Springfield (my KFC! w00t w00t!), another laptop (or as I call it...my Xtop! GigGity!) and some clothes.

Oh yeah, so bout this other job...it's suppose to have actual work! The site is running SLLLOOOOOW on exchange and needs an upgrade! YES! FUCKIN YES!!! I wanna be part of that setup! That would be sooooo freakin cool. So what about this other job....OK, so here me out! lol! This night job is aight, but monotonous. So I was actually toying with the iDea of workin at apple from 10 - 2pm (just for fun and to possibly learn more bout Macs). But this new job is right next door to my current one and is looking for someone from 9am - 3pm...meanwhile my other job starts at 330pm. OMG, rolling in the dough! I don't think that after taxes I'll need to hop over to Kuwait...I mean hell, with my weekends clear and being able to tell either job "I can't make it in" what's the point of going back to the sand? I mean YES! I'm going to miss my friends out there, but its a dealing with the traffic getting to work sucked and not being able to move up within the company...ummm, yeah that sucked too! Why limit myself? My friends will eventually make it back over here, and if not! EgH! There's always myspace and Gmail.

Also this week my inferior Product on-demand (iPod) broke...the Hard Drive just started clicking and what better time to go out, then when you're outta warranty? Right? Right? So again, initial reaction was to smash the fuckin iPod in front of their store and shout out a BIG "FUCK YOU APPLE", but damn this aging thing, I didn't! It felt good to think about tho....So I decided to take a walk around the lake with a friend and smashed the shit outta my iPod! It felt good and when I picked up the pieces I was like noooow ur fuckin broken and I don't have to pay some asshole at the genius bar to tell me that. So after 4 hours of grieving I went to target and picked up iPod #4 (WTF? When will I ever learn)...but this time when I was like TALK FLASH TO ME! I've got a backup mp3 player from 2001 that works because, hello! flash memory! So I got the 32GB iPod Touch. Had people say, y not get the 16GB iPhone for the same price? Well given the fact that I'm going through iPod #4...Do you really think I'm gonna trust apple with music AND telecommunications? Yeeeeeaaaah...no thanks, I'll just carry two devices and when iPod #4 crashes...me & the HTC will have a good laugh and probably chuckle "Can you hear it now?...Nope, its fucked! hahaha" (yes, my HTC talks to me..jealous?)

I'm also undergoin an investigation and had my investigator call me with ?'s. So I answered her questions and next thing you know Adan(m) calls me up the next day and was like "Dood! Some investigator called me and was asking me all sorts of questions". That was pretty quick! 2 days before all this Marlon gives me a call. So I'm at my Dad's office and of course he is as comfortable with me being gay as a cat is swimming across a lake. So we're talkin and he asks me how was my visit with my sister and stuff and then we got down to business. He gave my name to an investigator and needed help with his investigation and gave my name. So all the same it was great hearing from him and it gives me pleasure that I ca help him out professionally :-)

So wish me luck n stuff, I interview on Monday (and not in a purple thong! lol!) and am tired of typin! lol! Laters
