So I find myself facing a divorce. Not at all happy about it, but I understand. I've been married for just over 4 years, 3 of those years were wonderful, the last was not so much. The past year I've been very unhappy with life in general and my wonderful wife put up with all my bullshit for an entire year before she called it...

My two weeks are finally up. Last night was my last shift at the casino. I've worked 5 days total at the new place training. I start tomorrow morning full-time. It should be a good change and I look forward to some of the potential that the new job offers.

So I found out at work last night that someone that was hired a month after me got his promotion before me. Interesting (not really) because this person is a fucking idiot (everyone makes fun of him) and is just yet another example of how the nice(ish) guy gets fucked over!

I am done with this bullshit. I will be actively looking for another job...

So the wifey had her gallbladder removed along with 4 stones that she had started to pass. Recovery has been going fairly well. Yesterday was her first day back at work and she didn't have any problems.

At my work I finally made security level 2. What does that mean? damn little other than I am no longer on probation and I get an additional...

So I didn't get that computer manager/technician job (I was second choice.) However, the owner was impressed with my Linux skill set and is hoping to hire me as the secondary technician in a few months after the new manager gets settled in.

This is just the latest (out of probably 30 or more) example of how I never seem to be able to get...

I have several relatives that work in law enforcement (city, state, and federal). I also attended a community college (before I went to a university) as a criminal justice student. So while I do not work in law enforcement I think I have at least an understanding of it and some insights to certain things as seen through my relatives' eyes.

I think it's great...

I haven't played Star Trek Online for over a month. I plan on getting back into the game tonight. I think I'm going to create a new character (Romulan tactical) is start playing it for a while since I'm kind of bored with my Fed Eng character...

Anyone tried the new Legacy of Romulus expansion? Anything I should know?

Now that I have all of my Linux machines running Gentoo I decided to setup my own in-house Gentoo mirror on my main server. The server now provides rsync and http services of the entire Gentoo distribution (portage, distfiles, ISOs... everything). I figured comcast doesn't seem to put the 250GB limit on connections anymore so who cares about a little wasted bandwidth to have the...

I am only a few days away from my six month mark at work. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any upcoming openings in IT on the horizon. In the nearly-six months that I have worked here there was only one opening in IT (right after I got hired, unfortunately) so I do not have high expectations at this point.

I did see an...

I am looking for thoughts and opinions regarding applying to a graduate school with a low GPA.

I keep going back and forth between a few options, but I feel like going to grad school would be worth the effort and money in the long run. I haven't quite convinced the wifey of this, but I think I can win her over eventually.

The one...

Yes I'm still alive.. been a while since I posted on here.

I'm only ~5 weeks away from my 6 month mark at work. Hopefully I can make it without incident! Also hoping that there will be an opening in IT in the next 5 weeks so I can put in my application!

Not much else going on. Haven't been going to the gun range...
