SO I know not really posted anything up here, besides the last post. Not a lot going on with me. I am still jobless, money less, and well just blahish. But I got good news and bad news to report.
First bad news:
2 weeks ago I sent my laptop over to dell, to fix an issue with the casing. The case was coming apart, it happened before about 3 months ago. I sent it to dell last time as well they fixed it with no problem. Happy I was. This time, oh noes. I sent the laptop in on June 23rd; according to their records they fixed it and shipped it out on June 25th. I just found this all out about 3 days ago. Except they decided to ship it out to my old Arizona address, instead where I told them I currently live in Wisconsin. Yeah.... I called my old apartment complex to see if they still have the package, with no luck. Someone already picked up the package, I am guessing my ex-roommates. So for the past 3 days I have been trying to get a hold of someone but no one is answering there phone or even calling me back. Why? Not sure. But currently Dell is very sorry for there mistake and is trying to help me out. If I can find the package, they can get a DHL guy to go to the apartment and pick it up to ship back to me. If I cannot well, I am not sure what Dell is going to do. I won't expect nothing less then a laptop to replace the one they lost. We will see what happens, I am going to give it another day and see what happens before I start to call dell some more.
Second bad news:
I am not going to college anymore. Well at least not full time. UW-Parkside will not accept any of my credits I earned while at UAT (a private school in Arizona). Because UAT is not accredited with a National Policy, there credits are kind worthless. Right now the only thing I can do is start over as a freshman level, with maybe some credits towards electives, or just not go to school. I want my degree, there’s no doubt about it, just wished it was not so hard to obtain (not the schooling itself is hard, just the whole craptacular transferring that happened) I can go to MATC where some credits might transfer and I can take some courses to be able to transfer over to the UW system. However, I will only be going to school part time, but might still be considered a freshman when I go. At this point, I rather not go to school, its becoming too much of a problem. I am also considering just taking off this fall or even this year of school to get a job and make some money to pay off my debts, and get myself back on my feet. The idea of going part time, allows me to do this as well go to school. I might be doing the 7 year college but Ill get my degree damn it!
Now for some wonderful good news:
I passably have a job at AT&T as Tech Support Rep Level 2. :p it’s a wonderful position where I can earn $23/hr. Its full time (40+hr work week) with benefits and such. Yesterday I had to go in to take an IT knowledge test, which I passed. And today I had a phone interview, which I also passed. Right now they are going to look more into my application, and I have to wait till there is an opening for the Training class. However the next training class won't be till August. So I’m going to still be poor, but hopefully once I can start the training, monies should be roiling in. Yeah I am going to take everyone to Japannica once I have a some extra :p I figure I owe you guys for dealing with my poorness. And thanks btw. But yeah that’s going well for me.
I have been working out for the past 2 1/2 months; I seem to lose about 5lbs of body fat and gain a lot of muscle weight. Which is what I am trying to do. Any suggestions for improving are always welcomed. Kind of want to get in shape, once I start this job, try to get a gym membership and hit the weights. All I have been doing is push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and running.
But yeah that’s what’s going on in my life now. Not a whole lot, but just crap really. But if ya read this far, thanks ;p I think there where more I was going to write about, but meh its already long enough :p see ya
