I've been a bit bad about posting in the last couple of weeks. Yesterday was Tiffanys fault. She needed me to go with her for moral support while she tried to get into yet another new car. Her check engine light came back on after having it fixed monday. This doesn't sit so well with Tiffany so she is looking for another new car. So I spent most of the day either tring to calm her down and telling her things would work out... She is doing much better now and she has picked out a cople of other German Gems. VW Passats. No BMWs were found in her price range at the dealer we are working with which is a bit of a shame.

Wow I just tried to close a extra open window and windows crashed on me and closed pretty much everything else too. Thank you MS for this POS OS. I can't tell you how many problems we come across at work that are not our fault but a fault of the OS. And I won't fix them. Sometimes I can or could but I don't because I don't care too.

I think I just may have someone to help with badcommand.net. I haven't talked to them about it yet but I think if i did sometihng could be worked out. Now its just a matter of content. Ideas?

I got an e-mail from Cat the other day. She is graduating college in may and then hopefuly going to lawschool somewhere in the NW here. She also appricated the dating resumes so I think I am going to ask her to put one together. I need to go hang out with her someday here its been like forever since I've seen her.

I'm still attempting of ways to entertain Collyn when she comes up to vist for Spring Break. So far everyone I have asked has like no good ideas. Eddie from work just said strip clubs and beer.... Collyn doesn't like beer and isn't old enough to get in to all the clubs...

Had a decent evening. Had some good food with Tiffany and Lisa. Lisa and tiffany know some of the same people and kinda recognized eachother from school.. Lisa has a bfa in something or other and Tiffany will soon. So they get along pretty good so far.

I'm sooo glad to be done with the work week.

Chris shows up tomorrow. I am also thinking about going to wrechking yards again but thinking I should wait until I get paid again as I got rent and insurance to pay this round...

My buddy list's in AIM and Yahoo alike have very few people that ever sign on and even fewwer yet that I actualy talk to with any kind of regularty. About the only one i talk to on AIM anymore is Collyn. Even though I see about 10 people on. Only a few of which i actualy know or even talked to on a regular kind of basis. But not on any kind of basis anymore really. I should thin out the lists or go make some new friends to talk to on the lists.

Work is as lame as ever. I've slacked off pretty bad the last couple days and cut out 10-15 min early. I should stop doing that. To top if off they took us off overtime yesterday and decided that we would be back on it for the rest of the damn week. Stupid fuckers. My guess someone just wants to smash call volumens/numbers as we were ahead of schdule on Friday of last week. As of the end of this week all the Leads that were there when i started all of them will have left, as well as their supervisor. Most of them for symantec a few for other work but it leaves many of us with the distinct feeling of rats leaving a sinking ship.

We did get Tiffany's CD/MP3 Changer working last night. Now I kind of want one for my car. I know it is unessary but my kit would be cheaper and I could do it all my self I'm pretty sure. Cheaper for me because I wouldn't have to buy any speical adapters I'd just have to run a wire to the trunk to hook up the changer where the factory should be but only put my alpine changer there.

I haven't even put 1000 miles on my car yet and it was 1 month as of tday that i got my car. It will take me for ever to get my oil changes at this rate, as its 5000-7500 miles between oil changes for my car.

I shouldnt have had that drink with out eating something 1st.

I always come up with good post ideas when I can't post. Then i forget and don't post what ever the hell it was going to be.

I did talk to a guy today who had a friend with a BMW with over 400,000 miles on as well as someone else that has a Mercedes with over 400,000 miles on it. Granted trade in on something like that isn't going to be so good but who cares at that point. Got to love those germans.

Tiffany got her MP3 kit for her cartoday but is having problems getting it to play MP3s but it plays CDs ok so far so once she gets home i will have something more todo. Until she gets home Lisa from work will be stoping by for a couple helpful books for php and stuff.

The weather like 180ed today. it was all cold and crapy at lunch time but now its nice out.

I got a extra hour of the phone for a meeting today. I also found that my supervisor is now a supervisor over another group now. I need to find new a new damn job. But 1st I need more qualifactions. Perhaps taking advantage of the works online school program thingy to get some certs and such.

It is Creepy how accurate this is. Perhaps sad or scary really.

Dodge ball didn't quite work out. Other than Nathan and I one other person showed. Three is not enough for dogeball. Thats ok though. We played some games back at nathans house then..

Bought a few movies last night. I got my self One Crazy Summer and The Transporter, mostly for the BMW action.

And tomorrow we have monday. The most evil day of all days. I miss my old job sometimes.

Washed my car again. I think i did a better job this time than last. Last time i kept finding dirty spots that I missed. But it wasn't log before the car was dirty again and it all just blended in. I have a great fear of my car breaking on me and having to spend like a millions dollars to fix the damn thing. I have about 11,300ish miles left on my waranty on the powertrain(big moving metal). So the fear is not totaly resonable. I don't drive it a whole lot because I don't need to go to a whole lot of places. I do think i will find a place and get a checkup for her though. She doens't have a name yet... any ideas? I've found all kinds of good info and places to get things for her as well... But hesitate because money and fear of having to do unscheuled maintnece at a ungodly price... The price i do belive would be worth it but I most likely wouldn't have enought ot pay the price... I do have some fun ideas for the car that i will most likely never do because I'm lazy and lack the money/time and skill not to mention faclitys..

March 18th I will be see Henry Rollins do his spoken word thing for the 2nd time and year in a row and plan on doing it more. I have not been to a music concert in over a year now.

I think my former supervisor was impressed with my fleece. Someone a discussion of jean came up and how I hate to wear them, and my old supervisor noticed I always have extra pockets. So I took the opertunty to show off all my pockets and features in my fleece. He eventualy said he was sold and asked for the website was. I am very curious to see if he has something similar soon or at least something from the same company.

My favorite BMW site has been down for like a week now. That sucks. They had some good stuff goin on there. I think it will be back someday. Soon hopefuly.

Anyways anyone intersted in a forum here? I've mentoned this before but never got a responce. if your not quite sure what one is here is an example....

Nathan talked to a maxim girl on the phones today. I talked to morons.

Dodge ball game on sunday... thats right doge ball.

Tomorrow I think I may go vist my grand parents.

My 1st auto-repair. I Fixed the driver door, so the trim doens't pop off like it did... I think.. Also replaced the covers that go over the seatbelt bolt thingys that are over the sholders on the front seats. Chaning the door clips hurt and made me bleed. I also discoverd that a gimp owend my car at some point. I found a handi cap parking permit thing in the trunk... There is also some strange wiring under the hook of which i still have to discover the reason for. Also I need more tools if i ever do want to work on my car.

Work was work I got of the phones for some extra time today to go to some propaganda a presentation about the company I work for. That was good.

I talk to them on the phone. They supervise me. I am surounded by tards. I need a new job, seriously. I don't care how good I am at it I don't care who would miss me . The fact of the matter is I'm largely too lazy to go find my self another job. So I don't really have anyone other than my self to blame other than management of course.

Most likely not a good idea to go for a driev as I'd most likely drive mad and kill something, like me or my car.

I want nice weather back...

Tiffany had a show opening last night and then we came home had a beer and went to sleep. I was bad and didn't post yesterday.

I love my fleece from scottevest. This is no ad or anything like that. It has a pocket that fits my stereo faceplate ooh so well as well as the key holder for my stupid ass that always loses keys and pockets for my phone and clie and places to run wires for hands frees and headphones... These are not just for geeks i tell you anyone who has an inordinate amout of stuff to take with you and not have to deal with a purse or a backpack these things are great...

things on the new team is still strange. but getting used to it. I like my old team a lot more. Not that i don't like this one i just miss what is familar and was like my family. now i have a strange new one. I feel like a foster kid. I am the most experinced tech on the team but no one really knows it because they don't know how long i've been there and I remember when there team didn't exist.

Oh and the pub table showed up today. its tall.

We wen't back up to Salem again. To get the stuff Tiffany left in Portland last week. That was after we rehung Tiffany's work at the gallery for her show that is tomrrow. And tomorrow is also back to the grind. It was fun we hung out with chris and I had drink or 2 well it was only one but it was kinda big but good.

I've ordered a couple thingys for my car. Nothing exciting, just door clips and the seatbelt mount coverythings. They go over the metal piece that is over the sholders on the car. The door clips are because well my door has broken ones and it doesn't stay put quite like it should. It can pull away if you pull at a couple of points. It shouldn't do this so I will fix it. I'm sure there will be plenty more work on my car as time passes. Like paint touchups, alarm installs, stereo upgrades of some sort or another. Not to mention things like doing things to Tiffany's car like a MP3 solution for her, as here stock deck doesn't really come out with out a small team of laborers to do it.

Oh yah we get a pub table tomorrow.

Didn't make it to a wrecking yard. Couldn't find one that had enough beamer parts for me. But tiffany is having goodguys look at installing her deck which remains to be seen if i can be done as the install manuals they have basicaly say don't attempt its a huge fucking pain and you will be elbow deep in before you get the stock deck out that is not a direct quote. So they are going to see if it can be done.

I also replaced a gift that i got for christmas with another one because i lost the 1st one. But I liked it soo much that i had to repace it and my key chain is normaly pretty slim, except when it is attached to my fleece.

Tomorrow we may go up to salem to meet up with Chris get the stuff Tiffany left in portland last weekend.

Happy pre-valentines day day.

Tomorrow we have a date to the junk yard to find stuff for cars. Nathan maybe comin' along too he wants bumpers. Depending on how I do tomorrow I may order some more touch up paint or um something else like the OBC or new plasticy things for my bumpers... One of these days I'd also like to tint the windows... The list goes on and on for things to do to it. I doubt I will ever afford to do much more than maintain it. But I'm ok with that. The next couple of pay checks with the OT should help some...

Tomorrow may also be laundry day. Weekends are often too damn busy. But I am still very glad to have them anytime not at work not on the phones there is great stuff.

I washed my car. As I find it shameful to drive a dirty BMW around. I discoverd many spots that could use some touch up paint. I also found the paint code for my car. It is 668 So one of these days i will get around to that. Also I want to go to a junk yard and see if there are any good parts to pull from simialr cars for my car. like a 18 button obc. or a good looking wheel to use a spare if i need it.

Tomorrow is Friday. YAY!

I think I am going to go drive my car and get Tiffany an V day gift...

My fleece is supposed to arive today... wait there is the UPS man...... woohoo I got it back..

It is a very nice day out right about now. What the fuck am i doing inside typing? Thats right I'm lazy and unmodivated to go do something like wash my car. But I did finish condioning the leather today.

Just chated with Collyn online and she is thinkin about comin' to vist for her spring break. That will be fun if everything works out. Talked to Kim too. I need to hang out with her again its been a long damn time since I've seen her at all, over a year infact. Same with Kala long damn time and too long of a time too.

I'm going to put my fleece on.

Work work work. Some times seems like all I do. I come home from work. I eat something. I sleep i go back to work. I guess that is a bit exagerated. I did clean some of the leather in my car yesterday and today i conditioned one of my seats. Tomorrow I do the rest of them from the seat I conditioned today...

I think my bluetooth hands free is really broken this time. It doesn't want to give me any audio other than clicking and crap at me. So I am looking into a new one... maybe 2. one for my car too.. Well I will eventauly be getting one. Not sure when but soon because damn i liked the wireless hands free. I think i will go with a sony-ericsson branded one this time around... The over time last week, this week and maybe next and the next... should help pay for such things and allow me to still put money aside for 1) paying off car 2) insurance 3) maintance... And right now I have around $400 to last me to the next pay check which is the 23rd.

I almost didn't get to post today. My DSL went down. but its back now. YAY.

I forgot to mention that we went to laser Electolyte at OMSI when we were in portland. It was kinda cool. It was just Me Chris and Tiff and another group of 3. Chris didn't dig the squiglys. Tiffany kept twitching to the music. I like techno but some of it was kinda lame...

Eventualy I may post some more stuff on my car page. As well as standardise Collyn's resume page so it looks a bit more like the rest, only as far as color goes and adding the menus but not much else.

my Fleece is on its way home after getting fixed up.... Maybe I will make a page about it and what is in what pocket. It kind of goes wtih my car. Its black and very cool.

I had typo on the link yesterday but its working now. I am also going to update the stuff page and the main page here soon....

My Dad had a lot of fun in the 10-20 min he drove my car. Great stuff I tell you. I know my car may cost as much 10 years old as some new cars.. (I saw some gawd awful chevy that was less than $10,000 new). But hey i'd rather have a car everyone likes and pay a bit for for repairs and maintence than some piece of ugly ugly americrap.

So I've been talking about news for a couple of weeks now so here is is. I bring you my ride. It's fun. And I've done gone and spoiled my self yet again. But I'm sure it is going to cost me plenty more than just the payments. But I am ok with this because i will learn from it and have a very fun toy.... thats right a toy. why a toy. becuase I don't NEEED it like so many other people need it. It will be handy many times. I still walk to work most mornings but not all. Today I take it to Salem to show my Parents then Portland to show Chris. Who can take partial blame for me waning one so badly.

Tiffany even went and got one. She traded her Toyota Matrix for a '97 528 i a little more than a week after I got my new ride....

Frist day on the new team. So far so good. My times for the day sucked but I'm sure I will make up for it in the weeks to come. Nathan got a warning about his times being crap ass in dec or january i forget..

Today went very quick like for me. Which I like very much. The weekend should be decent. Assuming my bank account isn't dry... Which it isn't right now so I should be good to go..

I've already written tomorrows post. So news comes then. I have no idea how you will respond or what you will think... and I can't wait to find out to be honest....

I just want to say bluethooth is very cool and flexible even if i never use except for sending SMS messages from my clie and not having to use the stupid T9 built in to the phone i can use the clie's keyboard for them. The BT hands free is badass too. but my computer has the BT now too and can talk to all of them i can use my computer as a phone or my phone as a modem or file storage (for very small files) among many other things with the stuff...

I was exchanged for a powerquest agent. I am now on a diffrent team. I'm only slightly offended by it. I liked my old supervisor and desk alot. Now I got a new desk with less room and a new supervisor who i don't feel is as cool as Darren... And I was moved from my friends. But it will provide a chance to make some new friends and crap..

Salem and portland this weekend. My news also comes this weekend. Perhaps tomorrow or saturday. Maybe sunday. I can't decide. If i show you early you can't tell anyone until monday.

Also I am still waiting on those dating resumes. Kala, Collyn, Ern...

I love being the charge/fee/credit card nazi at work. Makes my call times much much lower. And I can piss that many more stupid fuckers off durring my day. Think of the compter as a car. You take it to a mechanic or a specialist and they charge to even look at it. Its the same thing with me if you want help be ready to fuckin pay. The computer may be cheaper but that doesnt mean everyone is quailfied to own and or operate one.

The week is progressing at a decent pace and the guy who sits next to me is kinda funny and crazy. I like to remind him of which day of the week it is as he forgets and trys to go by the wrong days schedule. And he will do things like "Wednesday! WEDNESDAY!!! WEDNESDAY!!!" you know like the monster truck ads on the radio.

My fleece will be back to me sometime next week from the sounds of things. Way too long if you ask me but oh fuckin well I will be glad to have it back....

They are going to make me nuts. The callers have been terrible this week and its only fuckin' tuesday. Overtime will be nice once the checks come around. And at least this week seems to be moving faster than last.

I'm starting to be in the mood to take some pictures again as the weather has been improving lately. Now I just have to find places and time to take them. This full time bullshit kinda hampers my fun time. No matter the full time pays for the fun time that i do have. Up to Salem and Portland saturday with Tiffany to see some of my fam and Chris. Should be cool.

I wonder when my fleece is getting back.

They were all dumb as hell today. Dumb as hell i tell you. Dumb customers plus manditory OT great stuff I tell you. Well the money will be nice once that rolls around.

Collyn thank you for the cat hair tip.

I've been toying with the thought of starting a forum page around here or someplace. If you are unfamilar with the forum idea check out vgames.cc . I'm a member their as well as a few work people. Let me know what you think of the idea. Perhaps to compliement or replace the current mass confustion section...

I almost posted yesterday but I got home after midnight from Nathans place. It was good as usual.

I'm gonna take a moment to bitch as i often do here. But the damn cats are furing eveything up.... I got cat hair on like everything. I find cat hairs on my desk at work. Maybe I should just shave them or something. They are both cute and cuddley but both of them are sheading hair all over every thing.
