Damn all hollows eve what a day

So this is it, or at least I think it is. This is the issue at hand. Right now on Friday 30th 2009 my shift is now done. Everyone else on the shift is either moved to another shift or they are going to be let go. I really don’t know what I am going to do at this point. Last post I did mention this but I got a little bit more information. My boss is fighting for my job. I am so happy about that. Not the part where she has to fight for my job but that she is doing it. It makes me feel great that she thinks so highly of me that she would go to bat for me. So here I am on the edge of starting to pound the pavement again. I am so not looking forward to this at all. I thought I had found my dream job and I was going to work out well. Well let’s see where this go now.

The next thing on the list.

So four months ago I was on cloud nine because I started a new job at a great company. The opportunities were vast and hopeful. Now we are four months from that time. I have learned so much and I still love my job. The people for the most part are great. I couldn’t ask for a better boss. But with that said it is looking like starting Monday I will be back to beating the pavement in search of a job. Our night shift testing will be done on the 29th of October. Seems because of budget concerns and just overall luck of the draw, I am no longer among the employed. How do I feel about that? Well I am upset, kind of lost in the “what am I going to do now”? But with that being said I feel like I am in a much better place than I was last year. I have the backing of a great boss that thinks I have been doing a good job. She even fought for me to stay. I am at the point where I am not sure how I should feel. I know for a fact that this is the first time I have left a job and not been pissed off with the company. Or even pissed off at anyone in the company. I just need to get busy and find something permanent that allows me to take care of my family the way that they should be taken care of.

Weekend fun

This was a wonderful weekend. I am tried but also very relaxed to tell you the truth. Saturday started very very early. I got off work at 1:30 am but that was just a kind of to the damn weekend. I wasn’t able to really get to sleep. I had to take a friend home from my place at like 3 am. I was so tired but so awake that I couldn’t go to sleep at all. I love my friends but damn sleep and I are not on good terms right now. So when I was finally able to get to sleep it was 5am. I knew I would have to get up early and get the day started but oh well. When I woke up and got dressed it was 10 am time to start the fun of surprising my sweetie. I went first to get her flowers, 1 dozen roses, green and hot pink. The florist did one hell of a great job putting them together. She made it so that the greens and pinks just stood out and it looked great. So now I had the flowers I had the wine and I was set. Now the hard part of my little adventure. Part of my plan was to drive our car to the hotel. The hotel was in Redondo Beach. The Portofino Inn and Yacht club, this is a wonderful hotel in the Redondo area. It’s right on the water. So I was able to come early enough that I was able to come and decorate the room. Everyone at the hotel was wonderful and very helpful. After I decorated the room it was now time to try and get home in time. I had to get home in 3 hours. Oh man this is going to be close. I caught one bus and it seemed to take so long time to get where I needed to be. But I was able to make it with 20 minutes to spare. Get showered and dressed and even had time to sit and take a breath. My girl couldn’t have been more excited all the way to the show. She couldn’t get the smile off her face. The fact that I was able to pull it all off was great. What was even better was the fact that she didn’t find out any of the plan. For this I am padding my own back. OH and on a side note we are getting married again. We just haven’t set a date, but this time it’s going to be something very small. Less than twenty people will be invited that is for sure.

relaxing at last.

I can’t believe I have not posted anything in the last couple of weeks. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to say. I have even started typing out a few little things that have happened. I just couldn’t finish the thoughts that went along with them. I have been working some insane hours. I have been averaging about 60 + hours a week. Sleep and I have not been good friends lately. It seems to come and go as it pleases and leaves me awake till the wee hours of the morning. It sucks when I can go to “sleep” and awaken all before the sun comes up. It’s really starting to put a bit of a strain on my piece of mind. I am enjoying work and other than trying to keep everyone on track here it’s been going alright. I need to stay on top of these guys sometime. They tend to lose a bit of focus if I don’t watch them like a hawk. It’s funny but I have become more of a damn baby sitter than I have ever been before. They feel that since the job is kind of easy that they don’t have to pay as much attention as they should. What is sad is that even when I am standing over them they think this isn’t reflecting on their performance. At the end of the day part of my job will be to evaluate their performance and with them lacking. The future isn’t bright for them that Is for damn sure.
Next week I have my anniversary and I can’t wait to have a long weekend with my girl. But right now there seems to be a few issues. I sent out the damn deposit over three weeks ago. I called today and the damn place said I don’t have any deposit on record. Oh hell no, I have the damn money order copy anybody spent that money order there is going to be hell to pay for sure. I have had this all planned out for over 2 months and for something to fuck it up in the last week, I don’t think so.
