Anyways, I just got this job a couple of weeks ago. This week I'm as I said in WF. Last week it was in the DFW area. The nature of the job isn't important. Let's just say I have to deal with people who mostly don't appreciate their homes and are trying to get free work done. That is a generalization, they're not all that.

But anyways, what am I doing right now? Two things:

1) Seriously reconsidering taking and thusly giving back this job. I've found out something about myself these past few weeks. I hate traveling. I get homesick like a mother! Since 1:30 yesterday, about 30 hours ago, I haven't eaten anything but a teeny, tiny granola bar. And I didn't even want that. I just want to go home!!! I'm stuck in poe dunk until Thursday afternoon. At that point, I will put Hell-bats in my rear view.

2) Being bored-er(?) than all heck. The room I got is decent. After all, it was a $150/night room that priceline got me for $34! Impressive. It's just hot as heck even with the A/C running full blast. I was a little angry when I came back in after work and found that one of the cleaning peeps turned it off. Anyways I did bring my laptop, phone of course, ipod, and psp but have pretty much cycled through those and am now back on this computer. I feel like I'll go insane. I refuse to watch the TV because it's only SD. Although I probably would if they had the Rangers game...which they don't.

So I know most of you don't care. I just felt like venting a little bit. Thanks for reading.
Sorry to hear that man. That does not sound like a good fit for you. You need to find a job that gives you financial and personal satisfaction. I think that I'd really like that job, I want to travel all over the country/world but everyone is different. I wish you luck in your job hunting, if you decide to change jobs.

Thanks. I have already accepted another job. So I've just got to finish up what I came here to do and I'm gone. And I'm not trying to question what you said you enjoy, but you'd drive all over Texas? That's what this is. Flights aren't an option as you have to lug around about 10 moderate to large size pieces of equipment. Obviously some people enjoy because I'm not the only person working for this company.

If you are still there and you have some downtime take yourself over to the Zuni Grill and get the Ahi Tuna and the Chocolate cake

You missed the jumping season (april) by a few months.


Are you married??? You need to take that home-sick story into a bar with you and sell it to the ladies with some drinks!!! Man...it won't even be fair


Enjoy.

Happy July 6th.

Trying to figure out what to do 1st day back in the studio.

European e-mails say they need their images ASAP/ rush.

Product manager here say they need their images ASAP/ rush.

Spec site is buggy and needs to be fixed ASAP/ rush.

And I can't find Mr. Henry!!!

Somebody call Henry and tell him I can't remember what he needed when he asked me last wednesday during my lunch to do something for tomorrow.


I totally miss my 4 day weekend junkfood diet.

I'm weird I just love to travel. I'd be happy to drive around, if I have a nice collection of burned CD's with me. I'll be stuck in some dead end desk job.

Default Lurking.

I'm lurking in various threads, watching A Christmas Tale, eating ginger biscuits and drinking tea.

Of course not. The geek squad cannot fix a computer.
