03:39 pm - Internet Wizard
I'm a Cisco Certified Network Administrator now.
I passed my CCNA, at 933 out of 1000 (passing score is 825).
It's something I should have probably gotten a year ago, but I've not been able to focus on it for various reasons. But I've spent several hours after work, on and off for the last 2 months reading up on the material.
Today was my second attempt of the 640-802, I also took it last Thursday.
( a little more about it )
I'm excited to go to Disney World South Dakota.

07:59 pm - Hum me a tune
I feel less tired, or rather I feel more energetic when I hum.
Today while working I started to feel really drained, and then I started to hum a little show tune and then I felt energized.
Today someone offered me a free motorcycle, a classic in working condition. Now I'm not sure they would have actually given me a free motorcycle, though I believe their offer was sincere. The point I wanted to make though was that someone offering me something for free made me actually consider going through a bunch of extra work just to be able to enjoy the free motorcycle. I talk about someday maybe getting a motorcycle, but in actually I don't think I ever cared. But then there was this free offer, and well why not? I declined, but I'm consider changing my answer, but only because it's free. At least it's not another "free" computer.
And now I'm going to go crash someone's party. ;)

11:32 am - It's like riding a bike
A few things.
Next Wednesday and Thursday we are doing a food taste test here at work. I need 40 people each day. It pays $35 for one hour of your time. You eat three entrees and answer some questions. Chances are it will not take that long. A client will be in cooking the food. So I can't mess this up. I'd like to see all my friends come and do this. So please, make some time and show up. Free food, and free money, how can you go wrong with that. I'll have more details as they arrive. Interested?
****update**** it is only for women. Damn! Ok ladies, I need you.
A little about my last few weeks at work. I've been busy, very busy. But things are winding down. Now I have this big study, two actually, before I leave. No problem, I'll be able to handle it.
Today I informed a "friend" of that I'll be leaving the mall soon. She is 21 years old and also goes to school. We will both be quitting our jobs shortly. I met her maybe two months ago, and we have chatted numerous times in the break room. She introduced herself long ago, and I have forgotten her name. No need for names though. On a scale of 1 - 10, I think I would give her an 8 or maybe 9. Somewhere between those two numbers.
I've been flirting with this girl for quite sometime. (Apparently I didn't forget how to flirt) My attempts at flirting with her have surprisingly resulted in some return. Actually quite a bit. We both laugh and chat about some nonsense stuff. She is pretty awesome. She has this unique style, which I can't describe. I guess imagine something between khaki prep to dance clubber, with a dash of uptown girl. We discuss a lot of politics and actually she is quite well educated. About politics and other stuff. I believe she attends the U, for engineering and linguistics. I think this is going to be her fourth year. She says she probably has another year if not two.
Today while chatting with her about leaving work I mention how sad it will be that we can't have these little breaks. She returns with, "Well perhaps we can go out to dinner sometime, hang out. I'd like it if you came to my birthday dinner at Kikugawa on St. Anthony." That isn't word for word, but close enough. Her best friend and her friend's boy friend will be there. I told her maybe. Then left it at that. She gave me her number, and told me to call.
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to go. It was pretty awesome though; I was just talking to EP about how I don't seem to express who I actually am when I flirt. Apparently this girl didn't think so, she actually seems to understand me deeper then most half-friends I have now do. It is nice to know that you still have it. And I still have it. Of course I'm probably just telling myself that.
** Ok well this post was an exaggeration. First of all, the person I talk about is actually about four people I "flirt" with. It most resembles this one individual though. His name is James. He is gay. He flirts with me often, and I flirt back. And of all the people I flirt with he is the one that has invited me out. That was prior to talking about girls. Several women flirt back, but none of whom I'm interested. Except one, who I know I could be interested in, but their is no vibe. No connection to her from me. You know what I mean, sometimes you just feel like you like this person. I don't feel that waye, but she does seem to be cool, no idea why I don't like her. Oh well, sorry for the confusion. **
Oh yeah, I watched X gonna give it to ya the movie last night. In reality it is called Cradle to the Grave. That movie was fucking crazy! In fact a little too crazy. So bad it was good. It made me laugh though, a little too much and a little too loudly. I hate my laugh. HATE!!!! I use to avoid laughing for that reason.
I think DMX is like me. Too good. In his movies he starts off with the bad attitude, and like he might just be a simple punk-ass thug who has made a name for himself, but he always turns out to be the hero. I bet I would do that in the movie. Ok, so I'm like this bad ass, who knows kung fu. I rob this Blue Cross caravan for its supplies. (Here I realize I'm just a little too bad, too much for my own liking) Yeah, but the Blue Cross caravan will be a front for Drug Dealers, and really I'm rescuing three kids that were captured by the big bad drug lord. (You see I like this guy more already)
All I have to say is, I did it all for the kids. You other cats just don't know what work is. Idea:
A Moulin Rouge type of musical, with Kung Fu. So a Kung Fu movie, set in the world of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, plus it's a musical. Yeah, the greatest idea ever! I must write the script, today.

12:28 pm - Chapter 8545
Imagine this, I'm actually working. Well maybe, or maybe I'm passed out on the table. I'm tired, and I have to be here. Lame! I'd rather be gone, off playing video games, home chatting with my friends. I'd rather be on a real date. I'd rather give up this stupid desire and take a chance. I'd rather fight the powers that be, and protect the good that still exists. I'm tired, and I'm hurt. I'm losing the pride in myself that I most recently was surrounded by. I have a headache, but it is nothing I can't deal with. It is my heart ache I'm concern with. I'm tried. I'm at work.
Here is my Haiku of the day:
If you can't be good
Then why continue to try
I'm done being done

04:30 pm - Why haven't you called me?
Boy enters my work, followed by another boy. Both boys are dressed like teenagers, both boys about 14.
Boy 1 - "Uh, sir, can I speak to the manager"
Me - " I am the manger"
Boy 2 - "Uh, I'd like to report a sexual harassment thing. I was sexual harassed. Nah, I'm just playing. Uh, can..."
Boy 1 - [speaks to his friend] "What the, MAN! Calm yourself." [speaks to me] "Uh, yes sir, I put..."
Boy 2 - [interuppts] "Can I get an application."
Me - "Yeah, do the both of you want one?"
I then get up and go for the applications.
Boy 1 - "No! Actually, sir, I came here a month ago and had an interview on July 1st. And no one called me."
Me - [I now recognize the kid as someone who had given me an application, that I immediately threw out. Due to his lack of respect and obvious problems] "Well was it an interview or did I say I'd call you."
Boy 2 - "Thanks" [grabs application from me and runs to one of the backrooms>
Boy 1 - "Uh, it was both. You said you would call me for a interview or something."
Me - "Are you sure I didn't say I'll call if we start hiring?"
Boy 1 - "Yeah man, that's what you said."
Me - "Well I'm not hiring."
Boy 1 - "Oh. Man I haven't worked all summer. When can I have an interview then?"
Me - "Well you see I'm not hiring, so I'm not taking interviews right now."
Boy 2 - "Shit. Can I have another one?" [as he rips up his old application]
Boy 1 - "Ok, so you'll call next week then huh. Lets go man."
Boy 2 - "What's the name of this place again?"
Me - "Car-Lene Research"
Boy 2 - "what?"
Me - "Car-Lene Research"
Boy 2 - "what? how do you spell that?" [he looks around, then drops the pencil> "Yeah man, nevermind" <he pulls his pants up so he can run out the door]
Me - "Good day Gentlemen"
Now I'm going to put up a sign that reads - NOT HIRING!

09:00 pm - The News at 9 with Jason Waye
In other news. Jason Waye has accepted the job as Manager at the Car-Lene Research in Southdale mall. They have yet to offer him a salary, but the negations are suspected to start at 26K a year.
Last night I did billing for the first time by myself. I came out at about 33%. That is how much pay the employees recieved vs. the amount we bill our clients. We want to stay at roughly 30%. My trainer did hers today, hit 48%. Anyhow, I went through my stuff one last time and came out at 23% after re-adding the billing for clients. That's pretty nice. I think I'll leave it at that.
I also found out today that the owner might closes the doors here at Southdale when our lease is up. She mentions something about if I do well I'll be allowed to transfer. I don't want to live anywhere else thoug, so I would just quit I think.
So work.. it is going smoothly, my trainer thinks I'm very well prepared, and my old boss has the utmost confidence in me. Now if I could just learn to spell.

03:19 pm - Work Sucks
I hate my job, and it is beginning to screw me. So, I want a new job. Any ideas out there? Any openings anywhere? I'm basically free for full-time after June 10th. I have various computer knowledge: A+ , little bit of C++ and Visual .Net, HTML, Front Page, the whole Office thing and basic Networking.
I'd like $10 plus and I'm willing to do almost anything else at this point. I'd like to work with friends. Any positions opened?

01:18 am - You sly dog you
Ok so I didn't want to go to work yesterday. So, I called up my boss and told him that I'd work for him all Friday, if I didn't have to work that day. He of course agreed. However, I knew one little secret he didn't. He was getting fired today. Now I know I'm an ass, but he got fired for a reason. He was a bad manager, and I ended up do all his work. Anyhow, I thought that was pretty sly.

04:51 pm - Oh work!
We lost a client at work today. Not only that but about $10,000. That happens very rarely. To fuck up that bad you have to work at it. Here is the worst part, my boss is the one who has to pay. He is the one that will get yelled at and blamed. When the entire fault lies on two of my friends. One a mall friend of mine. She is a fucking idiot. It was a simple ass job. Go to the store ask people questions give them $10 gift certificates. Then the other, one of my best friends since high school. He is unemployed right now and has been that waye for about a year.
Now I offered him this opportunity to make $100 for one day's worth of simple work. Now this guy bitches continuously about having no money/no job. He wasn't even about to take the job. He did anyhow though. So there is goes to work for the first time in months. They get there, now the girl is the supervisor, and my best friend just a worker. She suggests a bunch of methods of completing the job that are completely unacceptable. He of course agrees.
Anyhow, I can go in great detail about all the mistakes they made. I'm not. They both know they made the mistakes. I'm just don't know who I'm more upset with. Her for being so fucking dumb to not know how to get anything done, or him for me my best friend and not telling me they cheated. Not only that though he said he was doing us (my boss and I) a favor... A favor? What didn't we pay you? For about 6 hours of work you got payed more then $100. That is roughly $16 an hour. More then I was making that day, doing a much harder fucking job.
Still I think I have to blame myself. To my friends: When I talk about my job; it is never as bad as it seems. When I pull stunts, I pull them with clients who have told me before to fuck with it. I let my boss know what I am or have done. And I think about what I do.
So yeah, I really like to let my friend have it, just yell at him for fucking my boss/friend. My boss has been like a second father to me. My best friend should have been smart enough to just told me at least. Now I can't even yell at him about it, cause if I did, he wouldn't fucking listen, and then he would just be upset with me. You know what I make mistakes guys, but at least I try to fucking listen to someone when they are trying to talk to me about it.
I don't know, I'm just pissed off now, think I need to write about it. I'll see him tomorrow or something and forget about it I guess.

10:51 pm - Car Work!
Today I didn't go to school. I had to work on my car. The rear brakes were going bad, really bad. So I waited til 2:00PM and then started on changing the oil in Chuck's car, which he paid me in lunch and car repair kit for my flat tire. Changing oil is so simple, except when it spills all over the place. I did my best to clean it all up though.
So after that task, I had some pizza and then started to work on my car. About two years ago I changed the front brake pads. It was very difficult until I realized what was what, and still that took me about two hours. Now apparently the front brakes are very different from the back. So I was just as lost today, and secondly I didn't have any of the tools that made changing the front brakes so much easier. So I basically gave up and then took a bath/shower for two hours getting all the oil and dirt off of me. Now I'm hungry again and kind of tired. What a boring day, and I didn't get anything done on my car. So I'm going to try again tomorrow, which means skipping school again. Oh well... Shit I hate being broke, I'd totally pay someone to fuck with this shit. It wouldn't be so hard if I had any of the right tools or even some WD40 to make these nuts even slightly looser.
Oh yeah, my work burned down today. For any of you who don't know where I work, I'm the assistant manager at a market research company. I help run Car-Lene Research in Brookdale Mall. But apparently our back room caught on fire and toasted some shit in the back area, then the sprinklers went off and didn't stop for a guess a hour or something, so the entire place is black and flooded. The fire fighter/inspector said it was arson. Who would want to burn down my work? I dunno. Well that was my day today. I guess that it, think I'm going to sleep soon, or maybe I'll go and take a walk. Night.
