Today I got to hear the good news. Huck (my boss) came up from Portland today and said that he wants me in Portland in the upcoming weeks to meet the main IT guy. He wants us to collaborate and then I will become Seattle’s main IT guy. Basically Sean (the IT guy) wants me to show the system and get familiar with it. So it is really cool that after 45 days of working here that I am already presented with the opportunity to help out more then just helping out dealers in the state with purchases. The only person who I can see having a problem with it is going to be Anna, the girl I work with at the order desk. See Anna has been working at EDI for 2 years and still earns $11 per hour. If Sean likes me I will become Seattle’s new IT guy and my pay will go from $10.50 to $15 per hour… a nice boost in pay, and more then Anna. Plus the fact that she has never been down to Portland and here I go. I know this is going to cause drama. Oh well… at least I will get to fix computers part time.

Huck’s plan is to have me do orders (my current job) 50% of the time and then MIS stuff the other 50%. Someday if Sean ever leaves I’ll be moved to PDX and I’ll be doing 100% MIS. You won’t hear me complain. For years I have been hating the people that know less then me and get jobs in fixing comptuers or have the hookups… I finally have that opportunity. Not to mention that some people I know have been taking my advice and giving it to others and not giving credit where its due.

Anywho… I am excited at this opportunity and I am glad that this is going into the right direction.

Things are really going well for my life, much better then I’d ever hoped. Maybe there is a good as I started believing again this past summer. Some things just don’t make sense that there isn’t a god. Sure a lot can be explained by science, but some things just can’t.

For example (and I don’t mean to be harsh or racist at all) the news said the other day that the area the Indian Ocean Tsunami hit are mostly populated by Buddhists and Asian religions however they are finding out that the most deaths are those of the Muslim religion. Now lets be frank but we all know that the representatives of the Muslim religions haven’t been doing a great job of making their religion look peachy. Like what the Black Plague did to the Europeans (christianity) in the Dark Ages when that religion wasn’t all that peachy… a natural occuring tsunami is doing to the Muslims. Again the tsunami can be explained by science saying it was caused by an earthquake which caused the wave, which is all true… but sometimes there could be an underlying message.

Oh well… I’m just rambling…

Time for me to head off and watch the season finale of Battlestar Galactica!!!
