Well, turns out my soon to be boss is a godsend, he's letting me push back starting till Tuesday. He actually offered to let me push it back another week but I said I'd rather play it by ear cause I want to start as soon as I can. He understands what I'm going through, which is definitely good. One thing's for sure, after all this guy's going ( Read more... )

Well, today was supposed to be the day I move in, so logic would dictate this would be the day everything would turn to shit. Well, even though for the last couple of weeks I told grandma how much I needed and my checking account and routing number, the money hasn't shown up in my account, so I talk dad into talking to her and he calls me back and ( Read more... )

Now it's down to the small ( Read more... )

I got the call just a minute ago, I got the position. I think I screamed the loudest I ever did when I got off the phone, I am finally getting excited to live life again. Thank you all who helped me out in those dark times when I hit rock bottom, this is as much about you guys as it is me. Oh man, I'm so freaking happy right now.

Well, I had my interview over at 1&1 internet yesterday. It went alright for the most part, though I did draw blanks on a couple things like the port for POP (25) and the such. The guy also expressed concern about me taking the gamble to move out there to the area doing something I have no experience in (phone support, which I'll admit, isn't top ( Read more... )
