WOOHOO!

Woohoo!

[Naylzie]

Dude, did I just miss this on FB or did you not post it there?  Either way, congrats!     Hope it works out to be better than the current one!

[Aaron]

Thanks ladies.

Naylzie I didn't post there. Other then my cube times and really random shit (music videos) I don't post on there much at all. And I try to keep it swear free and it demanded swear words. Cuz I'm that fucking happy.


I might be asking for a loan from my folks, but I think I can swing new boots and the bike (and then live on potatoes for a month...) (I found different boots for cheaper, but I will want to have a "summer" "winter" pair or in the case of C@ttle Raining/waiting for the rain boots. ( http://www.danner.com/boots/cqb-gtx-8-tan.html    ) Also they are just shy of half the weight of my current boots. 45oz for those ones and 80oz for the other ones.

I have done the math enough to know. I can swing new boots and bike. I also got a 10 bucks off promo code (thanks google) and free shipping, and since it's Portland Oregon it should still be really fast in getting here.  And potatoes... Hella fucking potatoes... PS any way you all make potatoes let me know! (I can hasbrown them and bake them. I'm to lazy to make mashed though...)

you need a credit card

[luna]

and mashed potatoes are soooo easy! I also like to cut them up in cubes and toss in olive oil and whatever herbs/spices I'm in the mood for then bake at 400 until they look done, num! I leave the peels on for pretty much everything (including mashed) because I'm lazy like that

[Aaron]

They may be easy but I'm lazy like that.

congrats on the job, Aaron!

[Aaron]

Thanks. Now just to get switched to the new job. My asst is being kinda dickish about moving me over there. (He was on vacation when I found out I got the job on Friday, so he didn't know I got it, or even was interviewed for it.) Saturday he got told he congrats me and said he would let me go next week (jokingly he said in a year). Nope two weeks (Hopefully, he fired 2 people so we are really short handed again/still. Even though we have been getting new management like the plague.) So I'm really hoping my new boss and the asst managers complain to the store manager enough to make him move me sooner. Cuz I don't want to have to wait anymore.

[Aaron]

BAM new job starts this Saturday for me. 6am-9am. Three hours. Which is sweet. Cuz then I will work Monday. Off Sunday. BUT I work till 11pm on Friday... Which means I have 7 hours between shifts. AKA I will get home and shower maybe take a nap then wake up to get to work.. YAY... BUT I won't be in foods any more. My new asst manager is a cool as shit guy. And my other Jr manager won't be over me anymore. (Both are nice guys for the most part. But window lickers when it comes to bossing... ya....)


Also day one of biking. WOO.

[Aaron]

Today was day one. I biked to work  10 miles/16.09 KM I thought that with as much as I walk my legs would be in a bit better shape then they are... They were on fucking fire like half a mile into peddling. I have never felt like such a fatty in my life. BUT after a little ways (maybe 1.5 miles) they stopped burning. I fucked around with the gears till I found one that let me peddle and not die (the whole ride is almost all flat and level, there is a few spots where I go over an overpass, and few other spots, but basically it's all flat. (Other wise I would have fucking died.) The ride was nice it was cool out, and I saw a lot of bunny rabbits. The job is really easy. Like I'm still learning everything. BUT it's not as hard as I thought it would be. Like it's pretty easy, or at lest the vendor part, I haven't had to deal with UPS or FEDEX yet. BUT I see ZERO customers, which is both a really good thing, and kinda a bad thing. (I won't be seeing as many hot chicks now   )

Also the person that makes sure I'm doing shit right (I'm really not sure what she does, so we will leave it at that. Or at lest as far what she does while "over" me. But everyone says she is a cunt. Like the reason the person leaving is leaving is due to her (she is getting more pay to for the switch, but mostly cunty is the reason.) But eh. I shouldn't be fucking up much. It's pretty easy, just have to learn the process. (It's tedious more so then anything.)

There is a little stereo back there as well. I need to get an AUX cord and then I could play my own tunes. (I wouldn't be playing much other then instrumental music. Which I have a good amount of...) And other then Jazz and RnB I have a good amount of other stuff. And stuff that I know doesn't swear...

Sorry for how long this is. But I'm happy I got a new job. And the better pay. The bike ride will be fun once I don't feel like I'm dying, (it wasn't that bad, just kinda a jumping into the deep end...)

[boom]

So I got an official job offer from the company I'm temping at. May 29th is my first day and I get an extra $1.50/hr. Not that I would ever tell them this, but honestly the job I have is so ridiculously easy (not to mention mind-numbingly boring) I feel I'm already being overpaid for it.

[Aaron]

The bike ride in has already made my legs look less fatty and I can see the muscles. And that's less then a week into it. (and feel the one muscle that burns also is starting to show. Woo.)

Work is going good, I like it. There is a SUPER busy period, and then a very lax period as well. I'm gettting it down pretty well. Somethings I'm still not 100% sure on. A few things I haven't learned yet... But I'm liking it.


Going to bed early is still killing me. Going to bed early is still killing me. However I helped a friend move last night and didn't get much sleep, so tonight I should be able to pass right the fuck out early.

My old gaming headset gave up the ghost over the weekend, so I picked this wireless headset up yesterday and absolutely love them.

They wanted $159 for them, but in the art of thrift, I walked away only paying $36.  I had various reward points, a $25 gift card, a rebate Amex card from Asus, and a price match for $105 from amazon.   

(It is good to see Best Buy will pricematch amazon.com now.  I will be using that discovery much more often!)

[individualzero]

NICE, dude! That's the exact pair I own. I paid a lot more for mine ($89.99 during last year's Black Friday sale on NewEgg should memory serve), but I have no real complaints -- I think they were worth every penny. The sound quality is goddamn amazing.
