I haven't written here in ages. Not much going on and a lot (poentially) going on.
Work
I may need to look for work soon. My position looks like it will be eliminated this year. Possibly by summer. I'm not confident my company will keep me around especially since we have a hiring freeze. Considering who is at some of our other istes it's pretty funny actually. Lose intelligence and skills, retain lazy morons. But I am tired of this shit industry.
I got turned down for a promotion for a job I basically did already at the same location but it's really okay since I really didn't want to go back there anyway. I need a change. This isn't for me. I am not happy being a grunt. I shine as a problem solver. Not too many problems to solve since I fixed everything I am able to. Everything is so automated now due my my processes that it takes me so little effort to do my job I sit around for hours on end. And it's not time I can use for myself. I am still constantly talking to "customers" and solving their crises for them usually from the non-comfort of my chair. Blegh.
I think the problem is I would rather just do something than have to explain how to do it. But also I prefer doing things on my own without my hand being held and I expect others do be able to do that as well. This is why I'm not a good fit in this industry. There is a complete lack of self-sufficiency in an office environment. Just because I DO do it doesn't mean I am SUPPOSED to do it. But I do. It's an optimally run computer and I am the operating system. The fact that it's all so automated now is just going to make this place fall apart once I am gone. Oh well.
Life
Not much happening. Slowly reading stuff. Cerebus is amazing. Nearing the finish line of that. Not watching many DVDs or much tv. Last Thursday I worked as doorman to the green room for the Dan Auerbach concert. It was awesome seeing the show for free. Would do again. If asked I will expand on this.
I had a touch of intense vertigo last Saturday (that would be Feb 28) complete with vomiting. My ears are still messed up. Feel a weird pressure in them. Can't explain that one. I've just never felt anything like it and I've had a lifetime of ear issues.
I don't know why I can't accept the fact I will probably never be "involved" again in my life. I am admittedly odd. I can't small talk. My jokes tend to not make sense to people. I see nothing but ways I can improve almost everything I encounter (yet without the skillset to actually accomplish anything). And I pretty much have zero tolerance for religion anymore. A winner is me!
Questions
So feel free to ask me anything. I'm feeling generous and truthy this week. I will answer everything from silly to serious.
