When it rains, it pours.

That saying sure rang true today.  After a very good interview yesterday I was called today about getting in on another project from a prior work associate.  This would be a contract opportunity but would pay excellent. 

The choice is though that the place I interviewed for is a full time position, versus this which is a contract that will undoubtedly end.  So I'm leaning towards the full time position, if it's offered to me.  This will be excellent. 

In addition I've figured out how to install Windows Server 2008, and so far have been installing tons of updates.  Tried to configure Roles, but updates still need to be installed so...yeah. 

Effort finally paying off

After nearly 3 months of unemployment or sort of employment I had an interview today that went extremely well.  I should find out by early next week whether or not I get the position, and if I do indeed get the position that means I'm movin' out of my current residence to a much nicer, cozier 1 bedroom somewhere in Milwaukee.  I look at this as the first step towards my escape, though I will be quite some distance from cheap cigarettes and magic in Illinois, I'll have the money to take a trip down every once in a while and re-up.  Furthermore, it's a full-time gig and if I live very cheaply I can start paying off my car and saving up almost immediately. 

I finally feel like I've taken a step toward my goal. 

Post 2, Day 2

Man this Wisconsin weather is bogus.  45 degrees and windy/rainy today and tomorrow, then thunderstorms, then 70 - 80 degree weather by Sunday. 

Today:  more calls to job recruiters.  I got my plan, it's just taking time to get it rolling. 

Step one:  get job. 
Step two:  Move out of current apartment (it comes to some amazement that I've managed to rent an apartment for like 3 and a half months with no steady income and a minimum of illegal activity). 
Step three:  Live in cheap and nice apartment alone
Step four:  Save money, pay off car, take off for the southwest. 

Something like this perhaps.  And then I want to go...I dunno where.  New Zealand?  The Netherlands?  Who knows.  So that's the general escape plan, hopefully I'll make progress today in terms of securing gainful employment somewhere. 

First Post

Hello throngs of devoted followers!  oh wait that's not how it is. 

I'm going to use this blog to put down all my rants and raves about my life that I'd rather not have anyone that I personally know see.  Eventually I will escape Wisconsin and this blog will end. 

Things that irritate me:

I haven't been laid in more than a year
I live in other people's filth
I have no job, but countless interviews
People blow me off after scheduling interviews
Everyone and their mom gets scrip-meds why don't I get any scrip-meds?  Just some benzos would make life a lot better
I only got 2 smokes left, after that it's all rollies. 

things that are awesome:

I get legal weed in illinois and it's cheap and STRONG. 
i got legal herb right now
i got an interview tomorrow
I got 2 dogs and 2 cats who are awesome. 
I'm going to sleep real soon.
