damn...

I typed up a really long post about my old employer and that I'm finally going to mail out the letter I wrote after I was let go... It's going to the president of the company.. he needs a wakeup call.  I know several people emailed, called, and wrote on my behalf.. but I feel that I might be able to do some good by sincerely trying to open his eyes to what is happening to the organization right in front of his eye.. or behind his back.. whatever.

Anyways, it was a huge post and apparently my blog entry page timed out and sure as shit.. the ubernet ate my post.  It sure did feel good to type it up though.. it was a pretty good rant.  To sum it up.. eff that bitch who fired me.. I'm so better off now, you did me a favor.  I'm so much happier in my life.. things changed in my life and I'm not sure they would have had I been stuck in the rut that place put me in.  I love my friends from the place, I hope they can stop the deathspiral that the company is in.. but I do hope the place realizes that they aren't getting 300g's worth from the lying consultant that must have naked pics of the execs or something.... cause she has failed them so many times over and is still getting paid to sit in the Hilton and waste their resources... monetary and of the human nature.  Take a couple more perc's and book a flight to anywhere but here.

My favorite quote of the eaten post was:  "it's like polishing brass on the titanic, the whole ships going down!"

LOL... laters.

in the groove

I think I'm officially, "in the groove", with my new job.  My former co-workers were all worried that I'd have problems getting to work on-time, well worry not, I think all it took was a little motivation on my part and it's a routine.  I'm enjoying things and getting the hang of it.  I think I've already contributed a fair amount and continue to pick up more each day.

What else?  Well... my neice, Teagan, turned 4 over the weekend, congratulations to her, maybe I'll bother mikey to send me some of the pictures from the party.

Hit 6000 miles on Andy's Harley-Davidson over the weekend.. w00t for lots of fun on that this summer, although, I've officially been spoiled with all the features of the Ultra-Classic.. I'm going to need me one of them!

peace out!

Get out your steel-toed flippies!

Alrighty, I'm happy to report that I'm two days into my new job and it's going great!  I've been pretty tired as of late, my sleeping schedule has been so wacked the last month that it was a bit of a shock to my system to get back into the hang of things.  Also, my first day had me touring 5 facilities, 2 of which were large paper mills and another was a finishing center, also quite large.  I'm supporting the infrastructure, workstations, servers, wireless, phones, etc. at all the valley locations.  Thankfully, it's a team setup and I have somebody who actually knows where everything is to guide me around.  I was unaware of how advanced forklifts were getting... I had to fix the wifi setup on one yesterday. 

So yeah.. got a few sets of safety glasses and some ear plugs, now I just need to get my steel toes and I'll be all set.
