I GOT A NEW JOB!!

I have a new job. Haven't even started the first job and already people want me to come to work for them. Kinda cool to be wanted so much. AT&T Broadband Internet hired me today to do upper level tech. support. If you have ATTBI you know what I am talking about because you most certainly have called them in the last month or so. Kinda cool. I get to screw up other people's computers now. Bad news is I have to wait to take a vacation now. That's ok though. Now I'll have the money to spend on the vacation. They offered me a $1.50 more an hour to train and $2.00 more an hour after training, plus a raise in 90 days and a sweet benefit package that includes 2 weeks paid vacation. You can't beat paid vacation after 90 days. After 6 months I get my internet for free too. Now that alone would make me work for them. Oh and I got to pick exactly what shift I wanted. NICE! Ok so I picked the best shift for the dog so she wouldn't be alone very long but it's still a good deal for me. I don't sleep at night anyway, plus the shift differential is a dollar so I'll be making $3.00 more an hour. Love that. Don't like the split days off deal, but if that's the worst of it then I'll deal some how.

So there you go. Post your resume on the internet and look what can happen. Copying Connie was a good idea.

I AM EMPLOYED!

Yes, yes, after monthes of back breaking (cough) work, I have a JOB. I am now a lowly tech support rep. Not the best job in the world. Certainly not the CAREER I want, but it is a foot in the door. I will actually be getting a real, honest paycheck. I have no idea what to do with that. Oh, and since there is a really good chance I will be pulling the night shift, I have now solved my not sleeping at night problem.

BTW, Wayne's paper was enlightening. It really is amazing that they are still allowing him to attend school.

I am off to see Lord Of The Rings again. I don't think I mentioned how great that movie is.

So here it is 3:00 in the morning and I am wide freaking awake.

Why is it that when I want to sleep my body fights it so ademently? When I have something I want to stay awake for, I can't seem to keep my eye's open? I am getting tired of having to take a pill just so that I can say I actually fell asleep and stayed that way for more than 2 hours.

Well I don't know about the rest of the world but I'm going to go and read Wayne's paper on Global Warming. Oooooo, goody for me.

Sweet Dreams All!

Have I ever mentioned my love of drugs?

While the gang all participated in the joy of the holiday's last night, I was laying in bed trying to study for a test with UTA today and fighting off a screaming migraine. Neither was successful, so I took a sleeping pill and shut off the phones. I managed to fall asleep and get so rest before the "kids" showed up. The good news is I got rid of the headache and the test today was pretty simple. It had quite a few questions about Windows 95, and since we had such a cooprative computer a few monthes ago I happen to have an in depth knowledge of Windows 95. And I thought that we had a bad computer. Little did I know that it knew I needed to learn these things.

I want to wish all a Happy Holiday!! I hope the party was a grand success as usual. Oh, and Mat, sorry I couldn't play attempt to get Grace drunk games with you.

Merry Christmas!!
