Big events yet to come…
Wow haven’t updated in almost a week. So what has happened? Well I am working a ton right now. Back to doing 40 hour weeks (actually 41 this week) and I love every minute of it. I even enjoy the bus rides home. Sure it takes 2 hours (1 hour there, 1 hour back) to get there and I have to wake up a hour earlier then I used to do, but I totally love it.
I have a wide variety of issues at my work ranging from people that want me to help with how to setup their wireless network to dsl outage problems. Then from paying their bill all the way to people canceling or trying to save them from leaving (I like doing the latter better). Unlike at Verizon Wireless where there was a constant flow of calls, maybe 20-30 seconds interval between calls, here there is sometimes a nice 6-7 minute rest period. They are super relaxed in their web surfing policy too, I’m even allowed to instant message people (only with Trillian though). The biggest downside is that next week I start a hell shift… I work Fridays through Tuesdays… 5am to 1:30pm. So I have to go to bed early and I have no weekends. The positive side that it is only for a month. You can compare it to college hazing… they really want to see if you can last. Apparently all the n00bs have to go through this one at Speakeasy. Another thing I like about my job is the fact that a lot of people are my age. Whereas my former job that was always used against me, here it is something they respect. Wow a 20 year old filling the position that most people goto college for. I just smile when I hear that. I also think that I am the only one on my team that got a pay raise out of this job, everyone else got pay cuts. Other people on my team include a guy who was head of Exchange development at Microsoft and took a major paycut. Another is a former project manager at SBC and so on.
Cammy and I are doing wonderful. Currently we are wrapping things up on our future home. Yup I am buying not renting. My parents and their real estate friend convinced me to buy not rent. A big requirement is that I live in the area of a CO so I can get fast DSL service. I only have to pay $20 per month for high quality DSL service (6.0 mbit down / 768 kbit up). Cammy and I spent Sunday evening walking along the beach of Alki. We talked about various things like the past and the present and of course our future. I really think her and I do well and I love her very very much. She makes me smile at random moments. It is a great feeling. Tonight we ate sushi in Seattle after Cam came to my work. She came right as I got out. We took bus #4 to Queen Anne had some Ototo and then took #4 back to downtown, hopped on to #101 (which was right behind #4) and wala we were on our way home.
Welp that is all for now…
Later gator!
