I love you.

I forgot to mention that tomorrow I go in at 9am and work till 8pm at Ritz. Friday I go to the Ritz at 9am till 3pm, then to Gateway until 9pm. Saturday I do get off, though. Nice……..

Oh yeah! And that band I tried out for? To be their singer? Remember? The one with the bad name? Rokz… or Skitz, or something? Anyway, they caled back. I made it to the bonus round. Me and about 3 other people. Now we all go back and do it again and they decide which person has the best style to go with. Personally, I do not care. But I have to buckle down and write some lyrics to 2 songs of theirs for the next rehearsal.

Skuz? I think it was Skuz…

This will be a long read…. you’re definitely going to need some long background music for this one.

I don’t know what the hell RedRival’s doing. I might as well take advantage of the time I have to blog, and entertain you once again, than not.

So here we are for another round of Bludgeon The Ignorant.

I am now working at Gateway Country full time and Ritz Camera Shop part time. I do not have a good feeling about Gateway. They’re not treating me too well. I should say they’re not treating any new employees well. First off, I will not get credit for any sales for at least 3 weeks. Second, when I am eligible for comission, I do not get past credit, nor do I get any comission at all unless I meet a certain $$$ amount every week, and the store has not been meeting their goals too often. That is to say… if my goal is $20,000 a week, and I sell $19,999 worth of equipment, I don’t get any of that comission I earned. Boo-ya! Fuck that. Now, on the other hand, the base pay at Gateway is more than what I make WITH comission at Ritz. And, if I do sell well (once I am eligible) I supposedly have a good chance of making over $30,000 a year. Hmph. But still…. at least 3 weeks? There goes the entire Christmas season. Idiots. Oh yeah, and there won’t be enough time to train anyone until after the holidays. I just have to observe and learn the hard way. Jesus. I’m telling you now — when I come back from San Fran in January, I’m going right back to Cellular One and re-applying for that job. They pay me enough — and it’ll always be steady. I was hired, y’know… They just wouldn’t honor my vacation in January. (stupids…)

So today was my day off. I got a little Xmas shopping done. Ate with my grandmom. Handled some stupid things going on with my car. Really…. it’s just my luck, I tell ya. First, I get a notice of cancellation on my insurance when I just paid them. Then I get a monthly bill calling for $50 over what I was told I’d pay. I called finally today and the notice was a mistake, and the bill was correct. They start a lower rate in March, but until then I owe what the bill is and it’s due on the 6th. THEN… a few weeks ago I got a letter from GMAC saying they can’t approve my loan for the car. But I already have the car. Uh…. I called Saturn. Spoke to my salesman, Bob Bell. He said he’d get back to me on it. Now, it’s a few weeks later and I’ve heard nothing. I call Saturn… Bob Bell no longer works there. (My first car, I call a few weeks after I get the car and the woman isn’t with the company either. why me?) So I talk to some people and they say it’s been handled but I was with Chase, not GMAC. It’s all taken care of but did anyone let me know? NO! I’ve heard nothing from Chase. I stil haven’t paid a dime on the car since my down payment. And no one’s asked….

This was my “day off” — I’ve been putting it all off for a few weeks because I have no time. Bills piling up… problems not being handled…. I know I just got off a 6 month vacation, but damn… I already need another one. January 9th, baby. One full week in San Fransisco with the girl of my dreams. How much better can you get? Y’know I just might not come back 😉

Would you like more news in my life? hmm… what else we got in here…. *looking — looking* Oh yeah! My muse has left. That complexbullshit.com girl just got up and left. Man. That really sux. I should have saved her stories or something. Maybe I’ll email her. Maybe she’ll actually respond this time!

Has the music stopped yet? Have you forgotten about Soundtrack Week? I haven’t….

To be a paragraph; a pixelated picture in your mind

Is no more meaningful than an ocean with no waves.

Still I long to embrace and moisten the lips upon your face, to be a bigger part of you.

Place a wave upon your heart and take away the debris.

There’s nothing more I have to give, it’s huddled in your palms. Cradled by your fingertips and kneaded by your nails.

Take this wall from between us and clothes from our backs. I need to feel again, I need to know again, what it is to be adored.

Become analog again.

Please be my drug again.

Stay.

Close.

Forever.

Check it out, man…

 

My own button. Wheeee…. I just made it. It’s my first animated “thing”. Kiss me.

Anywho, if you’d like to link me you can take that .gif, or go to my “Links” section for the code.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I will be working at Gateway Country in a week or so. Many nice things I wish to talk about but don’t want to get into them knowing that RedRival will shut down again. Dammit.

Niniane’s in Hawaii for the week and I’ve not heard from her at all. I’m a bit worried, but trying to stay sane. I miss her.

I have a feeling this will not work. But if it does, I just want to ask why there’s so many people that use oriental writing and the like on their sites. YOU’RE NOT EVEN ASIAN!!! I know, there are a few that are asian, but c’mon… if you’re not. what the fuck are you doing? It’s like whiggers: white people trying to be black. Yeah yeah, I know…. that’s politically incorrect in so many ways but fuck that! It’s the truth and you all know it. What’s going on in our world where we stray not only from our own souls but from our own culture? Gimme a fucking break and grow the hell up.

Hmm, I wonder if I will be able to blog, here.

If so, I’d like to blog these two things:

#1. This is a great, great story. Please read. I think the rest of the links on that page are other of her stories. I haven’t gotten around to them, yet. But I’m sure they’re worth checking out, too.

#2. This curvy gal asked for my help in designing her website. It would be my pleasure. Now let’s see how serious she was about it….

Now… about that Soundtrack Week. There’s a problem… if RedRival is going to be shut down… I can’t do it next week as planned. So we’ll have to wait until I know it’s safe. ok? Don’t get pissy with me… write to RedRival!!!

Update from RedRival posted around 6pm:

Hello,

File Manager and FTP will be coming down within 12 hours in preparation for our Full Upgrades. In this phase, we will be moving over all data, testing the setup, and stress testing the system to confirm that it will match required performance levels.

Expected FTP and File Manager freeze time is 7-10 days, unfortunately, but is required.

 

Thanks,

bye…

So it looks like i might not be able to blog soon. Then, it looks like I won’t be able to make any updates for a long while. So, please join my eGroups list asap for any updates, etc. This way you won’t be out of the loop at all. You can find the eGroup signup at the bottom of the Contact section. Go on, it’s free!

Please?!?!?!

I’m just not feeling too well all of a sudden. My head is starting to ache. My throat is drying out. I’m beginning to feel nausious. Out of nowhere, too! I was fine all day. Got home from a busy day at work and had a small tisk with Niniane. Joyce left a message on my machine and I called her back, but there’s no answer. This is highly unusual. I’m a little worried, but it’ll probably be nothing.

Then Niniane and I got back online and we didn’t have much to say anyway… so she got off. I’ve been doing almost nothing since then. I have a feeling I’m gonna wake up sick tomorrow, again. I really do not want to. I neeeeeed to work!!! I neeeeed the money!!

I’m really feeling sickly, here…..

Well, it’s been a lovely evening, folks. Don’t believe all the shit that you hear.

Ok, so I was only there for 3 hours. I’ve spent the last hour hanging everything up in my closet. Yeah, I’m tellin’ ya….. it was a lot of clothes! Now I can relax for a bit, then go to bed because I’m due at work at 9am.

Can you say “Productive Day”???

I knew you could. *wink*

RedRival is still “down” // Our plans with Due Faccia are still underway, but no physical actions have taken place as of yet. // I finally made it to the bank today. // I got a parking ticket last night for not having a parking permit. I DO have a parking permit. I went to the Police sation and took care of it. // I got a leter from GMAC (auto finance group) who said they regret to inform me that they cannot handle my request. Funny thing it, they already said they can to Saturn. I called Saturn and had them look into it. I’ll know more on Monday. // I finally got my premium for my car insurance. Apporximately $1,300 a year. I called them up and asked how I’m gonna pay this by 11/7. They explained I don’t have to and gave me my monthy premium. I then proceeded to call around to Progressive and some other insurance company I got a thing in the mail for basicaly saying “Try us out! Free quote!” They are called American Horizon. They couldn;t beat that price, and Progressive was even worse. So it looks like I do have the best deal around. Unless I should try 1-800-Safe Auto. // I probably could have linked a million things in this blog but I don’t feel like it. I have to start writing checks to all the places I owe and then be on my way to the laundromat for about 5 hours (I have a lot of dirty clothes… heh heh)

See you later.

Man what a day. What a fucking day.

Work was slow, but I made some nice commission on the few things I sold. But it was such a tedious day otherwise. Killed my back. I realized, too, that after every day I work, I have lost most of my voice by the time I get home. Talking so much, and all.

Due Faccia’s hideout has been located. My partner and I plan on capturing the beast in a few days, together. I have no further comments as of yet, but I will say that the beast is much, much larger than ever imagined. This capture will be fun, if executed correctly.

Are you wondering what Soundtrack Week is, yet? NO?! Ok, then I’ll make you wait another day or two.

NYEEAH!!

Goodnight, peeps.

Sneak preview of what’s to come on the site… Soundtrack Week! Starting 11/12. More to come…

Ok, so I didn’t get a loaner. Actually, I took it in and I was told to take one of the tech’s out for a test drive so he could feel what was happening — this way, Saturn could authorize there was a problem with my car and then put me in a loaner. Well, the tech and I drove around and he did some electronical testing and found that one of the cylinders wasn’t responding. He took it in the shop and noticed that the wires connected to cylinder #2 was not connected properly. Boom. New cord, new spark plug (I’m not sure what for… perhaps that was a problem, too) and a quick washing of the car. No charge, and I was out of there with time to spare before work at 12. Not bad. But I was really looking forward to getting a nice loaner I could play with for a day. hehehe. Oh well.

In other news… Due Faccia is still at large. No one has captured the beast as of yet, but we’re hot on it’s trail.

Can I just say that there’s as much gossip and bitching in my store from associates about other associates than there was in my entire high school career. (I guess I’m doing the same, too…. but I’ll continue my story) Everyone.. bitching about the next person. I don’t mind, actually, I find it amusing. I’ve gathered so much info on everyone already, I could write a book. But people just have to learn to let go of stupid shit. People are people — they’re not all going to be like yourself. Got it? Good.

(no one’s listening…)

Everyone have a good Halloween? I worked, so I have nothing fun to say. As usual, I didn’t go to any parties or whatever people do when they have friends… *sigh*
