I’m currently working on the design here for aow, so if you notice anything fishy happening while you’re looking at one page, and another, that’s my doing. I’ve also gone on a plugin adding rampage. Tonight I really had the motiviation to work on my site, and actually get some “content” up perse. I love wordpess, but I was also missing phpnuke, for the soul purpose of member integration and whathave you. Well, once I get the theme completely tweaked, you’ll be able to see what I’ve been working on 🙂

Also, I turn twenty today. It’s going to be like any other day, but I don’t mind it too much. I just hope that Chris remembers to bring home the chocolate cake mix from Target after he gets off of work. If I’m up in time I’d definitely enjoy going to the China Buffet, because I love their crab rangoons, California Rolls, pasta salad, and their rendition of General Tso’s Chicken.

Time to go back to slaving away behind the scenes, and enjoy staying up late because I have today off as well as having Sunday off 😛

Work has been work. I don’t know why I’m not satisfied with it anymore. I think it’s the fact that I work alot, do alot for the company, and I get paid balls. I’ve been looking around our JOS system and noticed that they’re going to be building a new service center through Geek Squad, called Geek Squad City.

Apparently it’s going to be the main service center for the store (Best Buy).They’re doing an ungodly amount of hiring and I think I might actually go for it. But that won’t be until July’ish when it opens (I assume) because the last day to turn in JOS applications is June 24th I believe. For the time being I’m going to try to apply to work full time at Insight for Tech Support, and if I get that job, try JOS’ing into Geek Squad to go Counter Ops. That way I get a hang out the entire GS system and whatnot.

Either way I definitely want to stay with Best Buy/Geek Squad just becuase I honestly love working for this company, and want to stay with them.It also helps out for the future because it’ll make moving easier, since I’d be able to transfer into another Best Buy. Whereas most places are not going to have Insight to transfer into. Not only that but if I go ahead with the Counter Ops position, I’ll have Mobile/PCHO/Geek Squad as departments I’ve worked in and am knowledgable in.

Holdfire has been doing pretty good. I need to promote more of it to generate more business, but for now it’s done pretty good. The server move went well, thanks to Rem helping out with alot of it. If it weren’t for him, I’d still be overpaying for my services, and not really making much from the job. Thanks again Rem 🙂

Robots love this post!

No matter how many times I tell myself to update this site I can never remember to do so. Except now I have a harpie forcing me to–right Rem?

Most of last night and today has been spent trying to transfer holdfire over from my the network redux server, to dreamhost’s server. After we transferred it over and dns propagated, we ran into an issue with my whmcs script. After getting the license pointed over to the new IP and subdomain, we ran into another buttfuck of a situation. Essentially it ended in me and Rem deciding on getting a refund from dreamhost (I’m hosting the main account off of the main server where my clients are hosted) and am now moving it back to network redux. Currently waiting for the dns to prop. back to that, and then I will begin changing my client’s nameservers to reflect the new server.

Fun, eh? Other then that I haven’t been up to too much lately. Just working a bunch, and coming home and taking care of whatever needs to be taken care of at the moment. Tonight I decided to eat “real” food. After surfing the web for pasta salad recipes, I finally came across one I enjoyed, Antipasto Pasta Salad.

It was AMAZING. Though if I do make it again, I am going to not add in the olive oil and balsamic vinegarette. It made it feel too “thick.”

I put HF on hold two weeks ago in hopes that it would be moved to another host/server, and open with a new design. Unfortunately my monetary situation did not look up like I had thought, and there has been a slight change of plans. Currently the redesign is finished, I just need to redo the pages for it, and create new packages. More space/bandwidth and a little more a month.

I’m also planning on leaving clientexec and switching to WHM Complete Solution. From the demos, and features available on their website, I’m in love. That and I’m tired of clientexec. I have issues logging in and I’m not as satisfied with their service as I was when I first got it. I’m also stripping 2CO and sticking with paypal only. No more e-checks/checks, money orderies, etc. Strictly paypal. Lower plans are also going to be yearly only, anything under 1GB space plan, is what will be yearly.

I should go finish that right now. I’m losing money not having it up. :

In June I’m going to be taking a week long (hopefully!) vacation to Texas. I’m going to visit my grandparents and favorite cousin, as well as attend the AMD and Microsoft Tech Tour with a friend, Rem. It’s going to be fantastic, that’s for sure. Need to get a vacation, and I definitely needed to see my family.

I’m planning on saving about $50-75 from each paycheck, up until when I leave, so I can have money for gas, splurging and the desktop package that AMD is offering up for sale (for alot cheaper then getting each piece seperately!).
I also decided to start saving for my own macbook pro (2.0ghz.) I won’t start saving until after I come back from the vacation. I’ll save $100-150 from every paycheck. I figured it’ll take me at least 25 payperiods to get it, along with the 3 year PSP from work. I’m actually kind of excited, because I think I can stick with it, pending I don’t come across any kind of financial issues. This is also because I plan on acquring a second job with Insight.

Also I decided to save, since I saw that I’ve spent $1,100 at Best Buy since October, and I’ve SAVED $700, so imagine if I didn’t have a discount. Eeps!

LOL @ changing my address for work about four times.

LOL @ the fact I have to move again in two months.

I love being single. Srsssly. God I hate this website. I don’t do anything with it.

The past month has been rediculous. I was going to move into an apartment with a friend of mine, but he ended up being completely nuts about a certain issue, so he didn’t go with it (with me.) SO I lost $200 from the deposit, which I already e-mailed him to make him pay me back.

I didn’t want to move back in with Ashley and her husband and burden them… So I’m not currently back at my old apt. It’s different/weird being back here, but I don’t mind it. I’m closer to work, so I’m not going through a tank of gas a week (you figure $25/week). Which is definitely fine by me.

Other then that, I’ve been trying to get re-settled here. Bought a desk last night at Target, and it took me a couple of hours to assemble it. I got bored, and walked away and then I ended up getting it finished around midnight.

This entry has taken too long to write; I’ll try to keep this site updated. I kind of miss it. I do know that I’m going to be working on holdfire.net, getting up a new design and transferring it to a new server, so I can up the plans (prices) and offer reseller packages. Tiiight.

I definitely forgot about this website, but apparently not someone that I care alot about. Which is why I’m really glad I never closed down this website when I had wanted to a couple of months ago. Sometimes it really does count writing things down in public where people can read them, and understand how the other feels.

Aside from that vague little paragraph, things are definitely looking up from my last post. Work definitely got alot better since then. I started to get noticed alot more for my efforts, and I get praise all the time for it. Not only that but apparently the senior recently “stepped down” so I have a shot at his position, but I’m not sure if I’m mentally ready for it. I think I am, I just lack the confidence.

Also in the job prospect is Charter. I got a call back from them a week ago, but I haven’t been able to get back to him because I got sick on Thursday and I’ve been dead since then. Hopefully it won’t look too bad, I’m just going to mention to him that I got the flu so hopefully I can still have a chance with them. If not, I won’t be too perturbed. I was planning on going part time with them to see if I liked it or not. That and I wanted to stay full time with Best Buy.

I also move into my new apartment on Saturday. I’m most definitely looking forward to it because it’s been three months since I’ve had my own place. Since January I’ve been in Ashley’s hair, but in and out during February/March since I crashed at a friend’s house during those months. I really owe her alot, and I plan on giving her, scott and audrey something nice for their new house as well as money I owe them for some bills I promised to help out with during my stay there.

So right now almost everything is looking up with the exception of one more aspect. My love life. I’m not really sure on the stance of it right now, but I’m pretty sure that this past weekend will make or break it. I really hope it made it, because I’ll be extremely happy. I know in my heart that he is most definitely my soulmate, my true love… People make mistakes all the time, so why shouldn’t I forgive him and learn to move on from it? I guess I’m just scared of getting hurt again if things do go like I hope for them to go.

If things go as he and I had talked about, I really do think we’ll get together and make it happen this time. I’ve never felt like this about anyone, so I’m definitely not going to fuck it up, or let him fuck it up again.

Work is questionable right now. I’m tired of feeling like my managers are trying to get rid of me, but how can I not feel like that when it’s partially true? I’m not a bad employee at all–it’s been the lies that have been coming out of my Senior’s mouth that is tarnishing my image.

Because I want to make sure I have a job, I started to apply to a couple of places. One of them being a cable tv and internet provider. It’ll be a full time Tech Support position that starts at $11.25/hour with benefits. A co-worker in my dept. also applied there so we’re both hoping to get the job.

Other then that, I’ve just been working. My car has been in the shop for almost three weeks now so I really haven’t been able to do too much lately and it’s frustrating. Hopefully my car is ready tomorrow, even though I won’t be able to get it (I work until after the place closes) so I’m off Tues/Weds so I’m shooting to have it by Tuesday!!
