Oh to be happy again.

You know what I so have to count myself very very lucky these days. I have been talking with friends and it would seem that I don’t have it all that bad really. Yea my love life is MIA with no hope of being found. But I have to say that I am not that worried about finding it any time soon. I am focusing more on my career at this point and will let the love life work it out on its own.
Last week was a very interesting week for me. It would seem that the career might be back on track soon. Like I said in the last two postings I have been on about three interviews and talked with 3 or 4 companies about positions with them. One position I didn’t get but I did get a lower position with them. It’s not what I was looking for but it’s an opportunity to get in and show what I have and then get promoted. The job doesn’t start till the end of July so I have at least a month to wait for this position to start. Another position also came up and I started interviewing for it and it’s looking very very good. This position would be for a lot more money and a much better position and it’s not starting at the bottom and working up. It’s starting at a good pay and it’s still working in my field. I am happy about this and it’s great to be in this position. I also just got another call from a guy with a huge video game publisher wanting to talk to me about a position. I am telling you when it rains it pour. Just two weeks ago I didn’t know what I was going to do or if I even really had any options. As of right now I have a few options and I see a light at the end of the tunnel. And this time the light isn’t a damn train heading my way. Right now it would seem like I am in a good place in life. Not the best place but not the worst place either. Now lets see how things go over the next couple of weeks and we if my hair becomes any grayer.

Living up to my Idol

What a slow and uneventful week it has been. About the most exciting thing that has happened to me this week is finding a ten dollar bill on the way home the other day. I am in no way shape or form complaining. It’s been a long time coming that I have really nothing to worry about. Also believe me things have not gotten better, I have just come to realize that life will go on and that there is not a damn thing I can do about it. I can try my best to live it to the fullest. Deal with the things that I can deal with and let the world take care of the things that I can’t control. This “Zen” moment came to me while getting my ass kicked by my friends for the pity party that I was throwing for myself. It was an eye opener for sure. This is going to last for a few days or until the end of July which ever I can hold out for. I was reading something in another blog about how much this guy drinks and how he feels afterwards. Yes Friendly I am talking about you. Well as I am reading this I start to see myself in some of the things that he is saying. Like drinking and then just having the need to go. Not really go somewhere just go. I have done this a few times. Most of the time I just go grab some food and think about at what point the beer I was drinking became toxic. Oh yea and why the hell did I have that fourth wet pussy? It’s a drink very sweet but I just love telling the waitress that I want that damn drink. LOL But I do have to say that for the most part I have not passed out and not remembered how I got home or what happened. I think the closest I have come to something like that is going to one of my Christmas parties for work. One of the lucky parts is that I was staying at the hotel where the party was. And the other was that I wasn’t the drunkest one there. Yea I remember saying I have to go and heading to the elevator. Next thing I remember is getting to my floor and trying to remember what the hell my room number is. After that I wake up on my bathroom floor and I have no clue what happened in the middle of all that. Yea that is my black-out story Friendly I have nothing on you, you are still my idol. LOL

What are the Lotto numbers??

Why is it when it rains it pours? There is never a happy medium to how a life can go. My last post I was just in the dumps and ready to just lose it and go on a rampage. That was about two weeks ago. As of right now not much has changed but I am feeling a bit better. The reason that I am feeling better is that the loser tattoo on my forehead seems to be fading. Within the last week and a half I have had three interviews, one recruiter called me to see if I was interested in a position in Canada. I would have to say that this is a good week when it comes to opportunities. At least in my head these are all good things. I am going to stick with that and keep myself sane.
Now the other thing that has been going kind of well is women. Why the hell is it that women find me most appealing when I can’t do a god damn thing about it? Hell I have been having women flirting, coming on to me. Hey this could all be in my mind but damn the amount of phone numbers I have gotten lately would say it’s not. The coffee shop that I go to the young lady behind the counter has really become very friendly over the last couple of times I have been there. Also as of two days ago I now have a date. I am thinking of going on a bike ride to the beach. Hell no need for a car for that and I live close enough that I can pull this off. Oh damn maybe this is a turn for the better. I do have to say something. I can’t believe Los Angeles public transportation sucks beyond measure. My god I can’t believe that there are people like this outside of some strange sitcom on TV. Well let’s see there was the woman with a bible that was thumbing it at people as they got on the bus. Which to tell the truth it didn’t really bother me until she saw a building with the words “out of the closet” on it. Now let me tell you about LA. I would say we have a very huge gay community. Now the gay community has a “goodwill” type of store where they sell things like old clothes and things to help raise money for people that are sick. I for one think that is great and anything that you can do to help others it great. I can only guess that this woman knew that what this store was about and wanted to show the build what it was like to read the bible. The sad part about this she wasn’t one of the stranger people that I ran into that day. There were the 3 guy guys that dressed like they were going to the gay pride parade. Then there was the class of special Ed guys I am guessing going home from a school trip. Or the two of the special Ed kids making out in the front of the bus. Then there was the guy that may have been all of 25 but you could only tell the drugs have made his brain into Swiss cheese so badly that his body is no useless. And the worst part of all this, most of these people found that there was a need to come and sit by me and try to talk to me. On a bus I am mad enough that I have to use it. I really don’t want to talk to anyone and really not to someone that just escaped from Joker’s house of cast-offs. Oh man let me hit those lotto numbers and soon.

oh when you go to one bar too much

Wow, a week without blogging I am going through withdrawals. I don’t know how this happened but it did. Wait I do know how it happened, I drink way too much. At least I go to the bar way too much that is. What is too much? Maybe it’s when you have more than 2 of the waitress’s phone numbers and they are the ones that telling you the call. After the last couple of weeks this is a much needed boost to the ego I can tell you that. I have been focused on finding a job and getting out of the hell that is my life. Hell getting out of LA really isn’t that bad of an idea either. But if I do happen to find a job in LA I am not going to pass it up that is for damn sure. I do have on lead for Canada and if that comes thru I am so there and will be talking with a French Canadian accent soon. But what the hell I hear those Montreal women are very hot. LOL I am going to go into more detail about my week later time to get some sleep and forget about all the booze I just drank.

another week in limbo.

Well I have come back. I am back to say just how life has got to be some kind of cruel joke. While nothing huge has happened since last I posted it hasn’t gotten any better either. Everything that I though about the management of the company that I know work for is beyond my dreams. It’s so much worst then I could ever though. I have this “kid” that has a little bit of power so he thinks that he can be the biggest dick that he can. He had the nerve to say and I quote. “Because I said so, and that should be the only reason you need”. Now the reason behind him saying this is since we had to move into another room we moved the desk around to have a better fit of things. Now last I checked the youngest person in that room was 22 and none his kids. So the matter that he thinks he can speak to us like that, I know I am not long for this company. The good news about this though is I talked to two of my headhunters and I have a couple of leads on some jobs. Also looking to either move to Texas or Florida depending on where I can find a job. We will have to see how things go and if I can keep from telling these idiots what I think of them and to kiss my ass.
