Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

So its currently Saturday and I'm done with my first week of my new job at HP. Its crazy how fast this week went and how much has gone on during it. I'll be honest to say its a daily battle to convince myself otherwise that its not a crappy job. It is in fact a career job, just not necessarily what I went to school for, nor something I want to do with the rest of my life. I am however starting to consider that if I can eventually transfer to the right department, if one such exists, that I could see myself staying with this company for the rest of my life. HP thus far is fantastic! Of course its only been my first week of 8 weeks in intensive training, but I'm starting to think that while yes they mean serious business in some areas such as attendance and expecting you to do a great job, it is a pretty laid back environment full of honest to goodness happy people.

I have been put into the PSG team which deals exclusively with Desktop and notebook computers. There is a small chance I could end up in the specialty team that deals exclusively with the more higher end performance gaming computers, but honestly I don't really want to. Sure its more narrowed down and focused, not to mention a smaller team and bigger pay raise, but I seem to have lucked out with the team that I'm currently on by getting one of the most desired schedules in the company. That being a schedule that's Monday-Friday 8-5, which is also the one I currently have during my 8 weeks of training. So hopefully nothing changes and that can stay the same. That was one of my biggest desires coming into this job among many reasons, a steady schedule and preferably a normal "adult/real job" schedule and it looks like I lucked out to get it and not one of the crazy noon to 8pm shifts or anything like that. So thats that for the moment.

Everything else suddenly has come to a halt as pretty much all of my time now is going to work and sleeping. On the other front with T3 related things, each practice brings us closer and closer to recording our new full length album hopefully middle of next month if not in September, but it is happening. We've written a lot of new material that we all seem to enjoy a lot and we hope other people do as well. We're also in the process of booking again to get these new tunes out there. I had a phonec all with a gentlemen earlier this week who is putting together a Veteran's day benefit concert that we might be playing at. In Barton Coliseum. T3 just might be playing an arena show before the year is over. That's ridiculous and I don't believe it. I might be playing my stupid songs I wrote in my room with my band that I started in my mom's house 4 years ago in a 10,000 person capacity Coliseum. Whether or not it happens, the fact that its a possibility boggles my brain and makes me laugh out loud quite a bit.

Life is funny sometimes.

Waking Up Is Hard To Do

Nothing like a non amount of sleep when you have dreams that don't help your mood any.

Its been far too long now for these things to still have an effect on me as they do. Its too bad that they mirror my own feelings tho. Feelings best left behind, not that I can control that tho.

Oh well..... got another possible job offer yesterday that may or may not happen in the next few months depending on if their approval goes through. This time right in my field of producing video for a cooking show for a friend of mine. That's pretty exciting, but I'll still stick to what I've got for now and just lay low until things pan out. I'll cross my fingers that I could either work both and be mega busy, or that it would be enough work for a full time position. That would just be fantastical to finally say hey I have a full time job doing what I went to college for. Not just slightly what I went to college for.

We'll see.

I Hate My Job

So as of right now, well about twelve or so hour ago anyway, I am unemployed.

Oh wait... no I'm not :) Instead I just quit what will hopefully be the last crap job I ever have in my life. In two weeks time I'm starting a new job here in town that I like to be proud to say is a big boy job. Not exactly what I was looking for and not exactly what I went to school for, but its got room for growth and advancement and hey if I like it as much as everybody talks it up, its a company I could stick with for the rest of my life. Not the department I'm in no. I can't imagine doing that for more than a year or so, but like I said, big company places to go. And somewhere out there is a department for exactly what I went to school for and could be my big ticket. Lets cross our fingers that this doesn't explode on me.

In the meantime I've got two weeks to get everything settled around here and do all that I've been meaning to do for a long time such as clean out the garage and what not. And sleep. You can't forget the beautiful beautiful sleep that I'll have :)
