The Gift

Babymama called me yesterday to let me know that there was one thing I could mark off of PrincessNic's wish list. A Pony. A freakin' pony!!! Apparently she rode it around for about 4 hours yesterday.


The closest thing to a pony I have

Game Day

BestFriend and I went to see the Huskers beat up on Colorado today. We had pretty good seats. We sat behind some guys that were really into the game. It made it really fun!! We saw the offense sign from the Man Law commercial.


Most Important Game of the Week!!!!

Give some love to the offense

Thank you. Thank you very much...

I got the call from MSI today. They decided to offer the job to someone else. So I am going to call First Comp tomorrow and let them know that I would like to become a claims adjustor!!!

I'm pretty excited. I hope that I enjoy my new job! I need to get myself back on track here quick. There is not much time before Christmas.

Thought of the Day
I'm bored.

First Offer

Exactly two weeks into my vacation I have been offered a job. I had my second interview at First Comp today. They would like me to be their new claims adjustor. I would like to thank Inateck and my manager Jen for canning my sweet ass. Looks like I will be getting a $6,000 raise and full benefits. I am going to wait until I hear back from MSI.

Thought of the Day
Yes, someday...

Second Round Interview

I have my second interview at MSI today at 4:00. It is with the VP. I'm pretty nervous. This week has been tough. I got three interviews set up and I had two (three including today) but I haven't been able to get anymore set up. I've been "on vacation" for a week and a half. But it seems like forever.

I'm very excited about the interview today but I'm also afraid that I'm putting all my hopes this one job. I'd feel better if I had some more interviews set up. On Monday I'm going to go put some apps at the Mall to try to find something.

Wish me luck...

Interview Two

Went to interview number two today. It was very odd. I met with these two guys (neither of them HR guys or guys in the job I was interviewing for) and they had like 5 questions for me and that was about it. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. I don't really know what to make of it. Oh well.

I got invited back for a second interview at MSI. It is Wednesday. I am very excited. It seems like a great place to work.

More to come...

Thought of the Day
Everything will be ok.

Interview Numero Uno

I had my first interview today. It was at MSI. It seems like a great place to work. I think the interview went well. They told me they were bringing in 5 people (including me) and they would bring back the top two candidates next week for another interview. So I guess we shall see.

I have interviews on Monday and Tuesday as well.

More to come... hopefully good news.

Involuntary Vacation

Well today was a first day of vacation. I received a message after work on Monday letting me know that I did not need to go back to work today. It was a temp job so I always knew that there was a chance that I would not be there forever. However, the way I was let go was very disrespectful.

So I put out some resumes today and actually got a call back today. I'm pretty excited. The jobs I'm applying for are much closer to what I'd like to be doing.

Thought of the Day
Everything happens for a reason.

Beer + Free Darts

What a night. BestFriend and I have found the perfect little hole in CB. We decided to go there for the first time on Halloween. We were (literally) the only two people in the bar. We found the dart machine and (key the music) it had like 900 credits on it. BestFriend and I tore through about 200 of them that night.

So Thursday rolls around and we are up for some drinking (I know... when aren't we?) and we decide to go back. It is like no one ever plays this machine! We have played about $75 worth of darts for free this week!

What an amazing discovery! BestFriend now occupies 8 of the the Top 10 spots on the machine. I... occupy 2. But one of them is 3rd! So there!!!!

Happy Election Day

Here at Inatek they have been giving away incentives for doing OT. Some of them are pretty good. For instance, for everyone hour of OT we get an hour of paid time off. They also have drawings for Plasma TV's, gift cards, etc.

So this got me thinking...

I think the federal government should take on this incentive philosophy. If you vote, you get stuff. Beside dirty old white men who like to like to touch little boys.

I started with things like give always. TV's, cars, vacations, etc. But then I started to think big! Remember when you won something in grade school... pizza party! The district with the highest percentage of voters could get a pizza party! As an eight year old the promise of free pizza got me to sell all sorts of shit! I think the same could be applied on a larger scale.
