Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
Last night after work I come HOME and after much contemplating of whether or not I paid the electric bill, I deducted that the power had gone out thru no fault of my own. I figured this out once I saw the power trucks parked around various power poles around the neighborhood. Pretty smart right there huh? Momma didn't raise no dumy! So with the power out and no internet connection I did what any normal awesome dude would do, I went for a run. It was a good run, one of the best lately. ********************************************* With the power back on by the time I was back from the run I checked the answering machine. Back in 2005 when I was out of work I was sending out my resume like a porn stars hand out ass-fuckin's, or like a ice cream man hands out free sammiches to all the neighborhood MILFS, whichever you prefer. Anyway, there was a message from a company that I applied for back in 2005 they want me to send them an updated resume and to come in for an interview. I haven't called then back yet and I don't know if I will. I like my job now and I like the company and the people that I work with and for, I hardly ever see my bosses, when I do they only ask me about how the diet and fitness are going. Never about anything that's work related. This tells me that I'm either doing a good job or that I am so awful at it that they can't stand to talk to me about it. Either way, I'm still employed. I don't think I'm going to call them. I'm not the kind of dude to chase the "almighty dollar" I would rather stick with the stability that I have now, and make less money, than trade it for more money and be constantly stressed out about if I screw something up and get shit canned for it. But to tell you the truth I really don't know what position they would want me for. But I do know that it is a fire protection engineering company that does a lot of consulting, they really don't for a whole lot of design work, which is what I did before I started at this current company. But I will tell you that I did take about a 10 dollar per hour pay cut when I took this job. But in the 2 and a half years that I have been here I still haven't gotten back to making as much as I was before. What would the rest of you do? Call the new company to see what the deal-io is all about? Get them to offer me a job then us it as leverage to get a raise? (which could back fire and they say fine then get out). Or just drop it? I need to discuss this with someone. I have to make a decision quick I really can't just leave the new company hangin'. ********************************************* I'M still looking for someone that knows how to create a new masthead for me. I need someone that knows Photoshop (or any program that you could use) in and out. I know EXACTALLY what I want (and is freakin' AWESOME) but I have NNNNNOOOOO idea how to create it, and I can't find certain images from the web to make it myself. I'm willing to pay for it (but not much) if you're from out of town I'll get you a gift card from some store. If you live in we can work something out. I figure that having someone do this for me it will still be cheaper that spending the money on the program then the hours and hours it would take to learn the program. So if you or someone you know wants to make some cash, under the table, have then email me at THE underscore D underscore RULES at SWBELL.NET (the_d_rules@swbell.net). ********************************************* The birthday gifts are starting to roll in, The D.C.Krew was in New York City last week, they bought me a long sleeve tee-shirt from the NBC gift shop. It is some shade of blue, kind of a dark blue, but not so dark that I think it's black. Anyway it's from Saturday Night Live. Wait, why and I describing the shirt when it's right here. ********************************************* O.k now it's time for the part of the Thursday Night post that you have all been waiting for, or not, whatev! What is The D going to do this weekend? Well in a nut shell not a whole lot. Friday night the fellas and I are going out but where, has not been nailed down yet. Saturday, I have to cut the grass it's been like a month since I did it last. It's so long that seeds are starting to sprout, it's so ghetto that it makes me laugh when ever I look at it. Sunday is preseason football, which means if you want to come over I would think twice about it, I won't be wearing any pants. But you welcome to join me. Just call first, I HATE the pop-in it's rude and you'll have to leave you pants are the door. So there ya go. ********************************************* Labor Day weekend is shaping up to be pretty good. Friday my social calendar is open. Saturday, a pal (remember girls are pals guys are dudes are fellas) and I are going to see the Black Crows at Grinders in the Crossroads, really looking forward to that show. I've wanted to see them for quite some time. Plus the show is outside. Sunday the 2nd is my fantasy football draft. This will be our 15th season. Monday will be a day of serious couch time. Now that I have 3rd degree burns on my legs from this laptop I think it's time to say g'day.
