News story
Read this story, and pay close attention to the end. It's ridiculous. Yeah moron, that's the United States' master plan. To infest rivers in desert countries with killer sharks. With freakin' laser beams on their heads.
And that was a teacher talking! No wonder that country is so F'ed up. Uh there's a 75% chance that he (or she, I can't tell by the name) will be raped by a camel. I hope so anyway.

First day…
Well I survived the first day. It wasn't so bad. I am annoyed because they didn't have a computer or cubicle for me. I'm in an empty cube that is going to be occupied by the guy that is currently in my future cube. It looks like he had no idea I was even being hired, because his cube is a total disaster and there is no way he's moving out of there anytime soon. And I have no idea why they don't have a computer for me. I spent most of the day setting up a new notebook for a training room. Don't know why they didn't have me set up a computer for myself.
My co-workers seem kind of fun. Both of them. A guy and a girl. There are three people in my area including me. And the girl is part time. The other side of IT are the mainframe people, and there are three of them.
Working full time really chews up your day. I mean it's 9:30 pm already, and I haven't even turned on the tv yet today.
I've decided to go back tomorrow. The first day is always rough when you start anywhere new. Well except at my last job because we usually knew when new people were starting and had a computer for them.
Also, here's a weird thing. The CEO doesn't like when guys wear crew neck t-shirts under their collar shirts or polo shirts, so we aren't allowed to wear them. Only v-neck t-shirts. It's a pet peevee or something. Which I think has got to be some kind of discrimination thing. I mean what's next? What if he said that he doesn't like brown shoes or brown people?
The upside to everything is that I only have around 30 more years to work. Yeah! If I'm lucky I will hit the lottery, and then I can write this from my own island somewhere warm and sunny.

The final hours
Well it's 9 pm on Sunday the 14th. In just a few hours my life as I have known it for the past year and 9 months will be over. I really can't think of a better definition for "This sucks." The job itself won't be bad, and the "going back to work" part isn't that bad, it's the "getting up at 6 am 5 days in a row" part that really licks the nads.
Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I forget what it's like to get a paycheck, and to have some sense of a purpose, and to be a consumer. I feel so un-American because i'm not buying things that I don't need. I've had my car for over 5 years now, and all my computers are woefully outdated. But I really don't NEED new ones. It's just not the American way!
Well there's nothing like starting all over again. Back at the bottom. No money, no vacation, no seniority. Sigh.
Anyway, I will try to write tomorrow after my first day of work since 2005.

The end of an era…
Well all good things must come to an end. I got a job! I start October 15th. On that date, it will be one year, nine months, and one week since my January 6, 2006 termination date.
The job is doing pc and helpdesk kind of stuff. Like my last job. It's for a credit union that's about 15 minutes from my house. I'm loving that. I hate commuting long distances to work. The money is crap, but it's more than I'm making now. There are many positives to working there, money just isn't one of them! The hours are 7:30 to 4 or 4:30, I'm not sure yet. That might be a problem, considering I roll out of bed between 10 and 11 on most days. And have been doing that for one year, nine months, and one week (and even before that. Who am I kidding?)
So certain people I know said they were going to start a pool to see how long I last. Not having a job or money for so long will make me really appreciate having a job and money. So I won't screw it up. So you all can suck it. 
Though I'm not changing the name of my blog page just yet.
