I have an interview in the morning with gateway @ 8:15. If someone wants to call me at 7 am and make sure I’m awake that would be great =] [home phone!] Also, I think the transmission in my truck is dying again — 2nd gear has a loud, high pitched whine, and 3rd gear just sounds horrendous. Going to take the mercury tomorrow and call up the place that did the tranny work before.

Here’s to hoping for the interview and for a non-dead tranny. ‘night

Update: Called up the transmission place, and they told me to bring in my truck in the morning; that means I’ll need a ride home tomorrow night [unless they can fix it pronto like]. The interview went very well — I am guessing that I’ll be offered a position, don’t know the pay rate, though. If hired, my particular training class would begin on August 13th.

News Flash: ‘Bastard’ should start his own site so things can stay on topic here. [mild annoyance]

Thought I’d post because I haven’t done it in a while, and I’m antsy to type.

Now that I am definitely not enrolled for the fall 2001 semester @ uccs, I have decided to get my CCNA and some parts of my MCSE by the end of December. So now I have a goal =] I had a phone interview with Gateway, they are very interested. Scheduled a real interview for Tuesday @ 8:30am up there; I am confident they will find me indespensable. Also, the definite opportunity @ another company called Paradigm Infomedia [pdmi]. And that is that.

Interesting conversation:

realbighead: the female side felt kinda number-2-ish
realbighead: what with all their ‘get drunk, hook up, go home’
rand0m: yea, I was like ‘holy shit, that happens!?’

Interesting link: Need a job?

Oh yea, I am not taking Voicestream; it would go on file that I worked there, and that’s not what I want. Plus, it’s a long drive, and there are other things to do [like fix truck]. Also, check out the HPI Hi Tech Hate Hack. They got us pretty good due to the owners extreme incompetence. Lots of work ahead for me. [sigh]

if I had some booze tonight. See, i don’t work tomorrow, so there is absolutely nothing stopping me from getting completely smashed tonight [besides the lack of inebriating liquids]. I have to mow the lawn, and that’s it. I’ll spend the rest of the evening doing nothing but sitting on my ass. I’ll drink what little bacardi I have left and fool myself into thinking I’m having a good time. Tomorrow, I’ll do the same all day, but without the bacardi part. woo.

I got paid today. it’s enough. not anywhere near as much as I want, or even close to the amount that I could put to good use, but enough. grr. I despise.

Update: here is an amazingly horrendous juicy tidbit that I just got in the mail.

Dear Randal:

Sincerely,
Randall E. Kouba,
Director

I feel warm inside. don’t you?

Update #2: Okay, so the whole thing has hit me now, and I am realizing that this is very, very bad. My plans are fucked. Going to probably spend this 4th of july determining what I am going to do for the next year. ()@*!@!*%^!^#%@%!@^!#^(*

And here we have a picture of me, surrounded by red? I can see everyone out there in internet land saying “why?” And, as always, I shall come through with an answer. This is a scan of my current driver’s license — a red license. That means that it has certain restrictions about how often I can aimlessly drive around [not very often].

Today was a rather boring day. Didn’t do much at all. Well, not true. I did quite a few things, but nothing of much importance. The best part, imo, was sitting at the park, where I observed and thought some fascinating things, of which I will copy out of my e-journal and post later tonight. I also entertained an e-mail from Gateway about a possible employment opportunity, and another from pdmi.net, another local ISP who wants me. That is heart warming. I plan to thoroughly waste another night away, much like I did last night. [sigh]

I will not be posting what I wrote in my journal. sorry. however, I have found out something interesting, completely by chance. I don’t know how true it is, but boredome is the physical manifestation of one’s lack of motivation. I have lots of shit to do, but am not motivated to do it. And I am very bored, despite the large amounts of things I have to do. odd that, eh?

That’s the line that my grandfather says whenever he sees anyone. I don’t know why I thought that just now, but I did, so it is the title of this post. To the right, we see the epitome of how great things can be. Just look at that — the complete and utter lack of caring about anything except a good brew and a good show. ahhh, that’s the life.

In other news, life still sucks for a little bit. Went to a driving class today, and it sucked. Then, I did nothing tonight. On a saturday night — that hasn’t happened in a long time. Tomorrow I will pull all the hoo-haa off my truck in an attempt to make it not stick out at all … sad, but true.

Don’t have my license back until monday — and either I need a ride up there at 7:30 am, or I’ll drive up there. If I get a ride, then I’ll probably have to come back to my house when done so I can get my truck: errands to run on monday [voicestream and a thing for work].

It is July 1st. You know what that means? Well, three things. The fourth is just 3 days away. My birthday is just 15 days away, and, most importantly, I have to manually move the date forward one day on my watch, off of 31, because June is a panty-waist and has only 30 days. ‘night.

Alright, my parents are gone. Like, they are *gone*. For two months. AFAIK, they have no plans of coming back anytime sooner. I am pleased with that, although the “having to water” part sucks. I don’t like watering, or mowing the lawn for that matter. Small prices, though.

I need a ride to my class tomorrow morning; it starts at 9am. Drop me an e-mail or call me. Or I’ll have to drive there [bad bad bad idea]. If anyone wants to come over and have a gathering *cough*, that’s cool, but someone has to give me a ride. That too would be a small price to pay =)

Saw Lauren Blomgren today; first time in a *long* time. She was with her dad. I was afraid of him; he is quite a bit bigger than janelle’s dad [who is very intimidating] and at least 10,000 times meaner. Anywho, i saw them, don’t think they saw me; if they did, they sure didn’t react. Not even a sneer, which is what I expected. heh. Her tits are better, but she looks like lauren, and [this is the clincher right here] she still is lauren. wanted to say hi, but didn’t. odd how she means so little, despite that I was all wrapped up about her for months. weird.

Link of the day: Gay-O-Meter :: I got a 12%

well, it’s not so bad. Got an insurance policy for an ungodly high amount of money and it’s ths cheapest I could find — signing up for it in the morning. then i attend a crappy *6* hour driving class [no actual driving] class on saturday [$50] then pay the dmv $40 for my license re-instatement on monday. Then I get a probationary license that’s good through december. If I get a ticket for any points in between monday and then, I am moving. Simple as that. Also, my driving is restricted to home, downtown, voicestream, gateway and uccs … I will find out if I can stay downtown until like 9 or 10 pm and then go home from there; that would be okay. hope someone is enjoying their concert! ‘night

update: i am really … depressed? down? no, those aren’t right, just *sad* about this. it will completely kill anything resembling a social life. oh well, 80+ hour weeks gotta be good for me.

i don’t know where i’m going, but it’s probably not in colorado for long.

the short of it — lost my license yesterday due to being over the point limit … have to take a 2 hour class and show some insurance and i’ll have a probationary till end of december. found out i’m not, and never have been, a declared driver on my parents insurance. so i have to sign up for insurance on my own. that’s gonna cost at least $300 up front, and could take up to 3 weeks. in the meantime, i’ll quit my job, not pay bills etc.

on another note, i get to enjoy my parents shuttling me around for the rest of the week.
