I leave for Japan on Friday. I will be seeing NIN in Nagoya while I'm there, does that make me an international groupie? There was some crisis with my passport (still not resolved yet), but I feel confident things will work out. But a whole week of not talking about my job is going to be AMAZING ( Read more... )

I never update this thing anymore. I suppose my days are just not interesting to really require any dialogue here. I work all day in tech support and come home to play World of Warcraft all night. Wednesdays I go over to my friends' house and watch Lost with them. Work is stressful because no one knows what's going on after all this company ( Read more... )

Today I started back at my new old job. It's interesting because (as I've been telling everyone today), it's like everything is the same, only different. Familiar faces (plus a lot of unfamiliar faces), different building. Same support software, different call-tracking software.

The worst thing ever, in the tech support industry, is when the documentation provided to us who take the calls says something like, "for more information or configuration assistance, please call tech support ( Read more... )

I work for a company that makes software that schedules TV commercials. But that is a gross summary, since it's not actually that simple, but it'll have to suffice for the masses. However, as I sit at work trying to motivate myself into some self-directed learning, I discovered that having ties to the TV industry has its... perks? consequences ( Read more... )

I'm updating my journal, look at me go.

- I have a new job.
- I went on a Caribbean cruise
- spent some time at the family cottage
- saw The DaVinci Code and X-Men 3

- Will update my own weblog when I damn well feel like it.

STOP BUGGING ME, Mom and Dad! Sheesh...

Well I guess it's time I let the world at large know the news: I was laid off on Friday ( Read more... )
