I can barely speak today. I was fortunate to catch the bug this week as opposed to last week during the medical exam. It's also snowing outside, so it's a good time to call the day off.
I e-mailed my grandparents and called my buddies in Redmond to let them know about my decision to join the Navy. They are very excited for me. My...

Good news!
Took the ASVAB, scored 88. I not only qualify for most jobs in the military, I may also qualify for the Nuke program. My recruiters are going to set me up for an additional test on Friday along with the physical (assuming my transcripts from Wake Tech arrive on time) to see if I can get into the Nuclear program.

Interesting. May I inquire about what prompted this?

Well, it seems like the planets are aligned just right and there's nothing stopping me!
But seriously, the economy sucks, I still live with mom, I have no friends, my job consists of answering the same damn questions on the phone for 8 hours a day, and I don't see myself financially able to go back to college next year.
Only option I have is to suck it up for another couple of years, or use the options and advantages that the military offers. Plus being in the Navy and exploring the world (while getting valuable work and life experience), despite the difficulty and hardships I will face the next 4 years while in the service, will bring more to the table than any current desk or retail job.

Next week will be the week that determines the rest of my life. Assuming the dates are still set, I have both my ASVAB test and my physical.
I've studied the ASVAB every day for the past week, both here at home and at work. When I took the practice test, I nailed it with a 75, even after doing miserably on the math portion...

Yesterday was one of the longest days at work ever, yet I don't remember much of it as I was so caught up in more immediate concerns. By the time I got home I just let it all out, the anger, the frustration, and the hopes. Today I took a fake sick day to sit back, reflect, and regenerate without the constant distraction of the...

So New Years is in a few days. It's time to think over what my priorities are and stick with them.
1. Go back to college.
This is perhaps the next biggest event in my life. I need to go to college. I am going to start at Seattle Central and work my way up.
2. Focus on a major.

I didn't finish college, and don't miss it. Good luck!
Overall, find something you would like to do, and do it. If you're enjoying it and feel passionate about it, you'll find some way to make money with it.
Well, spending bad money is bad. Good luck with your command of preferences!

Another day of being snowed in. I just called work and my boss is understanding. At least I get Christmas Eve off. I also was able to get my timecard approved yesterday so I am getting paid this Friday, yay!
It's been a nightmare of a week. I did go to work yesterday, but commuting was a pain. Most buses to downtown weren't stopping for...

we are stuck in snow hell too. Hope you made it out for christmas!
So this is Christmas.
It's been a bizarre week. I was initially excited about having a snow day off of work, but instead I find myself stranded at home. There's too much snow on our local streets for me to drive on (there's a couple of cars stranded in a ditch near the bottom of my hill) and bus service is extremely limited, unless I...

Ehh nothing new to talk about this week. It was supposed to snow today and I was keeping my fingers crossed for an early release day at work, classes were cancelled, co-workers called in sick for fear of getting stranded.
And nothing happened...
Anyways, I have a Twitter account now. I have no idea what I am supposed to do. I guess I make an...

Yay, it's the weekend! I am a little tired, I went to bed at 2 AM last night, woke up at 9...that's only 7 hours of sleep (the horror!)
For some reason my profile page was wiped clean. I can't count how many times this has happened, but it's really getting annoying. I spend 30 minutes adding all my likes, dislikes, etc...and then a couple...

It's been kind of a boring week.
Amazon did ship my game with 2-day shipping last Wednesday, unfortunately with Thanksgiving and the weekend, I still have to wait until Monday until I recieve it. I also had to work yesterday, I got to get off early, so it wasn't that bad...but still...
I was lucky and got the complete Buffy box-set on sale for $70...

If you need a specific invite, you have one. There is not a cap on # of people showing up. See you tomorrow!

Thanks for coming out - it was great meeting you!
It's been a long week, and an especially long day. I work with two others on the phone and I swear...every week at least one of them calls sick. I then start backed up in outgoing mail, applications to process, ect. Why? Because I am taking phone calls every 3-5 minutes! I swear...working on the phones is a bitch.
