Moveing Day

Hey everyone,

So today is my last day of work this week, I have friday off. I am suppost to go to Dalton GA tonight (once my Bro-in-law gets here) and pack up the house and move the family here this weekend. He is bringing his truck up here, and then rideing down with me. Should be a good night. If anyone wants to say goodby or wants to help, we will be loading the truck in Dalton starting at 9 am on saterday. And we should be unloading up here in Lexington that night. We will see. Please give me or my wife a call and let us know if you are willing to help. I am suppost to be working so i will get back to it.

New Friends

He all, I am going to go out for a few beers after work today at Old Chicago with Brian who I met at UU church this weekend. Looking forward to hanging with someone, where I can be myself and not have to edit myself like I have to do at work. Then it is back to the appt for whatever. I just did not sleep that well yesterday and i am not sure why. Wondering if I should go back to GA this weekend and help with the move, or just wait till next week. I did just get the 20th off so I can get down there on friday and get working a day before the truck shows up. I guess Jake is comeing up the day before so he can drop off his pick-up truck, and then we drive down to Dalton on friday morning. hope that all works out, since I dont have a bed for him to sleep on I hope he brings his matress in so he has somewhere to sleep. Anyway, looking forward to tonight and hanging with a michigander, and one that is not so big on a religious trip he is afraid to have a few drinks. ;) I will try and post more sometime in the next few days. Have a great day.

Working Fool

Hey all,

Currently at work, doing what is called EDGE training, ie. learning to use my handheld to poen and close calls and all the other functions it can do. VERY BORING! I am definitaly haveing trouble staying awake. I guess I will be working on this most of the day, until I complete it. So yay. I had a decent weekend, I did enjoy the UU church yesterday, but i am not suppost to "make any commitments" without my wife in tow. She is hesitant to commit to anything, where I tend to jump in with both feet without looking. There is something to be said for both methods. Namily mine is right and hers is not. LOL. No, we do ballance each other out quite well, But I am just looking to meet some decent people. But when I am lonley and alone I am accualy not a very good judge of good people. I would befriend a ax muderer, if he/she would be willing to let me ramble on and ocasionaly nod there head at me. Basicaly I am looking for a warm body to talk to.
I cant realy befriend any of my new co workers, best not share what i do in my personal life with people from work, if I stay mysterious it will help me work wise in the long run. I have been screwed over by coworkers that i let get to know me, way more often than ones I hardley talk to. I will keep my business associats distant from my home life in the hopes it will help me at work. It sucks, but that is the path I must walk for now.
Well that is about it for the current moment, I am glad i got a chance to wright a few lines here, it helped me to wake up. I hate computer based training, best to throw me into the fire and make me figure my way out rather than going this way, it would keep my attention better. Shalom everyone.

Another Saterday night

hey all,

Sitting in Lexington KY, killing time. I have spent the day cleaning out my car, shopping for needed stuff, took a nap, and then working out. currently waiting on a movie to download (4 hours since I started downloading, and still going) So now I am sitting outside the clubhouse of my new apartment, using the wifi, and waiting.
I am going to go to the Universal Unitarian church tomorrow and see what is up with them. and then I have no idea how to spend the rest of the day. but it is better than sleeping all weekend. Bout it for me. the title of this blog relates to to a song bu Usef... formerly known as Cat Stevens. " Another Saturday night and I ain't go nobody, I got some money cuz I just got paid. oh how I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in a awful way." bout says it all for me.

New Job, and possabaly a new life

Hey Everyone,

OK, So I am In Lexington, running calls with Rick, One of the team leaders here at IKON. I have received a laptop, a EDGE device and a cell phone. Talk about organised, I am up and running with everything I need besides parts. Those will come as soon as I have my own tech number. All in all these people run a tight ship, and I am really excite to be a member of there team. I am a little unsure of these Canon models, (and I also learning that Ricoh copiers are not as good as I thought). I have a lot to learn in a short time and so I am doing my best.
I was staying in a hotel all week, I am not out of the hotel, and carrying all my stuff in the car again. I am going to sign for the apartment, but the power may not be turned on until Monday. it would suck to spend a weekend in a apartment with no power. So I may be returning to Dalton GA this weekend just to avoid that. I also am not looking forward to staying in a apartment with only a air mattress and a small pillow for the next 2 weeks. A uncomfortable situation at best, but I will abide and hope it is all worth it.
Lexington is a great town, I visited a little bookstore down off of campus called Sqecial media, it has many different religious books of all faiths. one thing I really wanted was the bumper sticker that read "My god is too big for only one religion" that is good, says how i feel very well, but I wont put it on my car. Too many religious nuts out there to give ammo to.
So that is my story, please continue to pray for me and my family, and go visit my wife and Bro-in-law this weekend, they are having a garage sale and getting rid of stuff before the move, including some stuff that I would prefer to keep. But I am not there to stop them so go grab my stuff when I cant tell them not to sell it. Have a great weekend everyone.

And so, here we go

Hey all,

I am heading out to KY today to start my new job. Found a apartment in town that will be way too small compaired to my current residence, but it will work as it is only a 6 mo deal, and I will be buying a house when it ends. it is in the City map is Here. it will do for the time being.
I will be staying in a extended stay hotel for the next week till the apartment is opened and cleaned. Reviews of the appartments are not good, but again it is just 6 mo.
So today I leave for my new life. I will return on most weekends of the next month. if you want a chance to se me while I am down here, call me. I wold be glad to catch up with everyone before I leave.
So that is the word people, So long GA and say hey to a KY man (pun intended) :)

And So Life Changes

hey everyone,

I know I have not updated often, or recently because I had no idea where my life was going.... Now I know where, but still figuring out the how.
I have a new position I am starting on March 2ND in Lexington KY for IKON. I am going to do the Trifecta of company's bought by Ricoh. So that being said, i have to turn in all my tech when i leave this job on Friday. No Laptop, (home computer is grounding out on something), No Blackberry, no cell phone (besides the wife's). I have to turn in my inventory, tools and other things as well. I am excited and yet worried about all this, but I know it will all work out.
I am bummed that I will not be here for the band "One Source", or for all the things i had planned in Scouts and with the SAL, (sons of the American Legion). I did so many cool things with those organizations and with the people I met doing them, and I will definitely miss all of them. I am planing on staying in contact with most of them through E-mail and phone calls. I have met some wonderful people, and I will miss them. But in these times, (as in any times) I have to worry about income, and my family, and I feel this is the best thing to continue to support them.
Please continue to pray for me and my family as we make this life changing transition, and if you are one of the friends I have mentioned above, please don't write me off, or stop calling me. I will miss each and every one of you. I will be back on the tech waggon after the move, or as soon as I fix the computer or buy another one. I will have access to my E-mail though my wife's phone, so continue to write. Once I am back up I will send out another blog to everyone, here.... and this page will get a small update as well. Later days all!

Family and American Legion Stuff

Hey all,
Going out with the family today to hob nob around chattanooga, go to a fabric store (none in dalton for some reasion) and then come back home, make dinner and go to band practice tonight around 6:30 - whenever. Want to get my bass fixed, it has a peice broken (the nut for the people that know what I am talking about) the rest works, but one of the guys in the band works as a repair guy and will make e a new one if I bring my bass, so that is what I am doing tonight. Then church on sunday, and getting our car for pinewood derby cut out on monday. I love that my regular life is still going, and I should hear from the Lexington job by early this comming week. I am sure the delay is due to the ice storm that is rocking there world up that way.
Also my Sons of the American Legon post 112 here in Dalton won the Kerby Kepler award for helping vetrans, it is a national award given out to the best squad report in the country, big stuff in the leagion for us. So I will post a picture of us with the award once I get a chance. Hope everything is good out there in computer land. have a great day!!

Best wishes to everyone out in computer land,

Something is Knocking

Hey all,

I have the interview tomarow. I am going to drive strait there (leave at 6am, arrive around noon) and do the interview. Then a drive home, and i will stop if i get tired. Yay, 10+ hours driving. I know I am going to get a offer, but I am not sure if i will take it. If they do offer more money, I guess I will be taking the job. should be a interesting day tomorrow.
So that is what is going on, whatever happens in the next 30+ Hours will determine what is happening to me and my family for the rest of my life. No pressure or anything. Check here or with my twitter updates to find out more. Also if I take this new job, I will lose the laptop and blackberry I use to do updates to this blog. The home computer is also offline currently as well, bad main board. I may be able to repair it but I will need some supplies to do that. Everyone have a great week, and wish me luck.

hey everyone,

well January has been strange, we have been understaffed at work for the past 2 weeks, And I have been sick for the last 2 days.
I did have some good news on the job front, I have a interview next week Friday in Lexington KY for a high end color tech position with IKON. It could be a great opportunity for me. I will drive up there and check the place out. I have as many questions of them as they are likely to have of me. this may be the job I have been looking for. I also got a call from a IT staffing company in Indianapolis, I have to call them tomorrow and see what they have to offer.
That is about it for me right now, remember my wife's b-day is next week wed. she will be over 30 soon. :)
