Well folks, after 7+ years, I am saying goodbye to this journal. Don't worry, I'll still be here, just under a new name. I feel that this journal was started when I was a totally different person; hell, who's still the same after over 7 years? Anyway, I'm not going to delete this journal; I'm just not going to be updating it at all anymore. I ( Read more... )

Ok, so for everyone who hasn't heard, I am no longer employed as a rent-a-tool for Securifuck. Now I did give them notice, albeit via fax, and they chose to disregard both of the faxes I sent them. So apparently it's my fault that I was scheduled to work, even though they were aware I didn't want to continue my employment with them. Oh well, it' ( Read more... )

Yes, this past Monday Gretchen and myself made the journey up to Orland Park to pick up a car...a car that was literally given to me! It's a black 1989 Pontiac Bonneville, and boy let me tell you, it ain't pretty! However, it does run and it does drive. So, I'm back on the road! I also realized that for the "dark" persona that I've projected ( Read more... )

Well I got the results of the CFD test...and I've been invited back in 2011 to try again! So yeah, I didn't get past the written test; I'm a little bummed out about it, but life, as some say, goes on. My job is still the almighty paradox; it both sucks and blows. However, I am taking steps to get the hell out of the Crap Shack, as I now fondly ( Read more... )

Well, I have the day off today, and I've been pondering what may lay ahead for me career-wise. I has a stable job as a security guard that is a soul-crushing, mind-numbing waste of time, but it is a paycheck. I have the union coming up, but I have yet to hear anything on it. I did, however, realize that because of me working for a legit security ( Read more... )

So I'm still working at the crap shack...I suppose I can't complain, I mean it is a job, even if it is a soul-crushing, mindless, 45-hour a week, wishing for a brain aneurysm, type of a job. However, I'm just waiting it out there...waiting to hear from the Union, which should be VERY soon I also took the firefighter's exam this past saturday, ( Read more... )

Sorry, I couldn't come up with a good subject line. Anyway, we have gotten the car back, and I am now enjoying the fact that I have to no longer rely exclusively on public mass transit. I don't mind taking the bus, but I hate having to plan my entire day around their schedule. I prefer following my own, not someone else's. I've also taken to ( Read more... )

So the whole free car thing didn't work out; turns out that it probably wouldn't have the trip down here. Tony replaced the brake and fuel line as he planned...but in doing so, the other brake lines, being as corroded as the Titanic's hull, all broke. And the master cylinder went out. So the car runs, but it doesn't stop. It is true, you DO get ( Read more... )

So yeah, neither of us having a car pretty much blows. However, things are actually starting to somewhat look up. I purchased a bike via craigslist for $50; it's not top of the line by any means, but it is functional. So, even though I hadn't seriously rode a bike in over 10 years, I decided to ride my new conveyance to Menards, a little over 5 ( Read more... )
