Haven't updated in quite a while. Gotta admit that LJ has gotten pretty dead in the past year or so. I guess everyone has moved over to Facebook and Twitter. Anyway, I did finally get my CommTech III pay bump which was pretty not bad. With a little overtime, I make a decent amount per paycheck. If I can keep it up, I should be able to pay off my ( Read more... )

Just wanted to make a quick post before I head off to bed. I just passed the computer test for my CommTech III certification. Now all that's left is to start doing internet and digital voice jobs and eventually have my work in the field cerfified.  I really could use the raise once that's done. Things aren't going quite like I would hope on the ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a while since I've had the chance to write anything here. Things have been going pretty good for the most part. My bills are being paid on time, I've received another small raise, and I'm currently in a training class with the eventual goal being to receive a more significant raise. Class is boring at times but it is good to have a ( Read more... )

This will officially be my first post of the new year. Just wanted to write something quick before I head off to bed. Work has been going alright for the most part. You take the good with the bad and just thank God that you still have a reliable job in this economy. I've been trying to concentrate more on music as of late. The first step of that ( Read more... )

Haven't written anything in a while so I figured I'd give a very quick update. Work has been killing me as of late. Lots of crawl spaces and stepping lightly above ceilings while putting in new outlets. I remember the good 'ole days when my job was super cool and I used to get 3 hour lunch breaks.  I haven't had a lunch break in two weeks. I'd be ( Read more... )

Hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July weekend. Mine was quite boring, but that in and of itself is okay sometimes. Still working at the new job. It's had it's ups and downs with our trainer being out sick and random people filling in to try and get something done. We've had quite a few days as of late where we (and by 'we' I mean the ( Read more... )

Things are still going pretty well. I did get the job at Comcast and I started officially on Tuesday of this week. We spent the ENTIRE DAY on tuesday filing paperwork, which was crazy. Then we found out that for the rest of the week we would be thrown out in the field with other ComTechs while they waited on 1 or 2 other people to get hired on and ( Read more... )

I thought I updated more recently than this, but I guess not. So I did end up moving into a better apartment complex which I'm very happy with. Everything about it is better than the previous apartment: It's bigger (as is my room), it's newer and much cleaner, it doesn't have insect problems due mostly to the fact that we're on the third floor now ( Read more... )

So I've been talking with my roommate about our current living situation for a while now and we pretty much decided to move out of this apartment complex into a nicer one with three bedrooms. Our lease is up at the end of this month but his girlfriend's lease isn't up until sometime in April. Not to mention that his brother still hasn't gotten his ( Read more... )

I got the promotion. I have a meeting on monday and then my supervisor will start training me after 9pm during next week. Looking forward to seeing how I fare in this new postion.

In other news, my roommate seems a bit let down about the drummer that we've been meeting quoting that he doesn't think we should "waste our time" with him since he's ( Read more... )
