New Job!

Ok so I start a new job this week and am enjoying a few days off before the grind starts for real. The last job I just left was a easy gig and the people I worked for were great but it was only 4 hours a day and I need more! Unfortnately the contract company I was working for was a joke! So I send them a note letting them know that I am leaving and have accepted a new job and I get a post back from my former manager to call him so we can "talk" about this! Hmm what is to talk about? You guys falied on numerous occassions to communicate with me in a timly and professional manner and now I am suppose to stop what I am doing and call you!...NOT! Loser such a unprofessional company I could not believe it! But now at least I do not have to deal with them anymore.

Ok sorry for the rant! Had to get that off my chest. feel better now! whew~

So the new job is a long term temp to perm so it will keep me working thru the new year then we will decide if I want to stay and if they want to keep me!

I am hoping this new year will be better for me and the family, this last year has been a little rough to say the least! As always we trudge on and keep our heads held high.

Till next time!

PC blues!

Well while I forgot to post this with the Q's post I will put it up now since I am still here.

The PC is dead! yes the pc that has been rebuilt at least 4 times over the last 8 years is finally dead! Yes the pc that had parts from a old Sony Viao desktop and parts from a old packard bell as well. It is finally past and beyond repair! I will salvage the ram as it is good and the HDD and the 2 dvd/CD-RW drives but the rest is gone!

So once I get back to work I will build a new one and it will better, faster, stronger we will make it better and the Deathstar shall return!

Q's Coffee shop

Ok so here I am at Q's coffee shop having a nice tall mocha. check the link above for location.

A real nice place with large comfy couches and a large love seat for Mr. Mean to sit in and blog!

So today no work for Mr. Mean as I have a interview with IBM! Yeah for me as I have been trying to get on with IBM for years. Course this is only a contract position so no benifits but the pay is gret and the work is what I like to do which is break fix.

Back to Q's, I have my buddy Molotov to think for this place as he sent me a link on local hotspots and Q's was on there and it's by my son's daycare. Oh and it's free! Thank goodness for the free! And they are playing a cool 80's station over the speakers so while I dont have any cool local bands playing live music it's beter than nothing.

So while I have to go and get ready for the interview I will finish my mocha and surf some more WWW, you have a great day and I will post more later!.

I play WoW! And I am not ashamed to say it! I was reading a forum tonight and several people were saying how they did not tell there co-workers that they played on-line games like WoW ( Http://www.worldofwarcraft.com ) or World of Warcraft from Blizzard entertainment. Now I can see where you might feel uncomfortable with telling your co-workers that you play on-line games but trying to hide it!? C’mon it’s just a game, how would they like it if we gamers turned up our nose or gave a funny look when they mentioned that they played Life or Scrabble all night? Should we scorn them and call them a geek? I think not, to each his/her own! That’s what I say, I for one enjoy my computer games as I find it a way to relax and destress from a long hard day at work.

So the next time a friend or co-worker mentions that they play on-line games be a little tolerant of their hobby unless you want Mr. Mean bashin your Life set! Bub!!!

Uber Dad!

Wow so I am reformatting my hard drive, (after a nasty episode with the system board grounding out on the case and getting a system32/NTFS error!) Well got that fixed and I decided to fire up Norton Ghost and reiamge the 120 GB monster that is my HDD.

Got it all done and look what I had sitting on my drive,

Yep that’s me and the little beast Jonathan! Well not so little and this image is almost a year old! He is sporting a hefty weight of 53lbs and standing at a little over 3ft 10 in.!

We are at a birthday party here and he decided to sit on daddy while the birthday boy opened his presents.

I just felt like posting and letting all know that we are healthy and well and that the “Beast” misses his uncles one and all!

Oh and the big lug misses his bro’s too!

Peace!
