Okay, I want...but hey, at least I’m practical ;) My current system will fit in the micro-case and the LCD monitor would replace the power hungry (and failing) 19“ CRT that’s taking up way too much of my desk. My goal is to reduce the amount of stuff on my desk so that I can have a desk...not an overgrown monitor stand.

Meme-y goodness
Reply with your name and I’ll respond with something random about you.
1) I’ll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
2) I’ll tell you my first memory of you.
3) I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
4) I’ll ask you something that I’ve always wondered about you.

Radio stuff...
Wow.
I tend to skip a lot of stuff on 89.3 but I’ve noticed a lot more great 80s alternative stuff turning up on it.
I just caught Echo & The Bunnymen...Psychedelic Furs / Heaven ...
Alright....maybe they’ll get smart and dump the hip-hop and the old 60s stuff and realize that they do quite well catering to my generation and go with the late 70s to early 90s alternative/new wave.
One can only hope.
I’m going to post my “reviews” of the local radio dial soon. There’s a few good things around here..and some real stinkers.

Hi there! [Longish Catch-Up Post]
I’ll rewind a week...between the last trend of posts and last week...just ignore the dead space.
Last Monday I was still in Minnesota and feeling like a caged rat waiting to hear from Randstad about the Bose job...
Tuesday into Wednesday I wound up leaving Minnesota for Illinois about 2p Tuesday afternoon...stopped by Madison and hung out with/Brian for a couple of hours then headed off to Elgin. As I turned off IL 31 to get to where I was living, I had an episode of what the ER doctor called “Mitral Valve Prolapse”
Symptoms:
•Chest pain
•Fatigue
•Palpitations, extra heart beat
•Lightheadedness, dizziness
•Shortness of breath
•Anxiety and/or panic attacks
•Headaches
•Low exercise tolerance
•Mood swings
Had ‘em all cept the mood swing.
MVP is actually quite common, but with my history of Wolfe-Parkinson-White syndrome, my cardiologist told me to play it safe with all those symptoms as it could be quite serious.
It wasn’t and so after six hours of observation and blood tests, I was sent home. I drove the last mile and a half to my old place and packed up the last of my stuff and drove back to Minnesota. I spent a chunk of the morning talking to about his mom. I got back after driving back and being up for about 30 hours. I sent off an email to /Bob explaining what had happened with Brian and his mom and rescheduled our meeting up for coffee until Thursday night.
Thursday I called Wade, my contact at Randstad, and asked about the Bose position as I’d still not heard anything. He confirmed that I had been selected for the training class and that I started Monday. *WOOHOO* I got my training information via FedEx while I was on the phone with Wade. Later that afternoon, I met up with again Friday night. We watched Moulin Rouge and chatted for a while. It’d been quite a while since I’d seen Moulin Rouge, so I was quite happy about that.
Saturday had been originally planned to go to Duluth to see my friend/Jeff. I wasn’t sure if my other plans down here in the Twin Cites were a go. If not, I figured I’d go up there since I’ve not seen him in a few weeks. My budget didn’t really see fit to let me make the drive and partially, I didn’t want to drive three hours up there and three hours back on Sunday. I’m going to try to plan things out a bit more and hopefully do it this weekend or the weekend following (though it is St. Paul Garou that weekend). It turned out to be a lazy do-nothing day, which after all the moving stress, job stress, and driving...I enjoyed.
Sunday was spent running around town with getting lunch, shopping for computer stuff, and just diddling around town in the heat. It finally stormed late last night and we got some much needed rain.
Today was my first day of training for Bose. There are four people in our training class. Two or three of us are going to “make the cut” from the training class. It seemed to go well. I have some “homework” from training I need to look at a bit later. I’ve done part of it, I just need to review some product information and make sure I can answer the questions and have the product description memorized.
I told ya it was going to be a long post. I’ll be posting a lot more regularly now that I’m not moving and my life isn’t in chaos anymore.
Bear out.

Wow...who knew?
| HELL LEVEL 3 Raw score: 100% |
There’s a special place in Hell for you: the basement penthouse. You scored the nastiest possible on the Sexual Hell Test. You have no sexual restraint whatsoever. You’ll take pleasure however you can get it, and my guess is you get it a lot. If for some reason you don’t right now, you will soon, as people in your category only tend to spiral down ever deeper into the abyss of carnality and delicious sin. Congratulations. I, personally, think that this category is the best. Paradoxically, sexual liberation and indulgence can only bring you closer to purity and honesty. AVOID: all but level 3 hellions like yourself. You wouldn’t want to ruin anyone, now would you? |
