I just realized i have a blogspot account still..interesting but do i really want another blog..probably not..2 blogs and a website are enough to maintain..although I might setup a category here for my shimmeringenergy domain instead of on my family site..although that might take some work to use the theme i want to use..and I need to archive, change some of the categories already here..maybe tomorrow when i'm in a better mood.. 6:33:03 PM    comment [] trackback []

Crazy Schedules I have had a crazy week so far its only tuesday night..I have a job but eventually it will be probably less than 10 hours a week...so I'm still looking for a full-time job and then I'll have this part-time job for extra income to pay off the bills, save some money, etc.. I love the people and the flexiblity..the work..kinda of boring..I've never just been a bookkeeper only - I've always done like 3 or 4 different things at once and I miss it... My schedule as it started out this week Monday - work from 11:30-7:30 Tuesday - go to the bank, then work from 10-6 Wednesday - interview for a financial analyst at 9am a couple of blocks from work, then work from 10-6 Thursday - interview in Suisun City at 8am, then to PH BART by 9:30, work by 10:30-6:30 Friday - work from 8-3, then company BBQ(driving only) Schedule got re-arranged yesterday, got a couple of more calls for interviews Monday - work from 11:30-7:30 Tuesday - interview in the city at 9am - not bartable, must drive, get there at 10am because there are 3 accidents on the bridge, work at 11:15 to 7:45 because I lost track of time Wednesday - interview at 2:30 in San Jose...ok, moved interview for financial analyst to Friday, will go to work at 7am-1pm then off to San Jose Thursday - interview at 7:30am in Novato, drive back to PH Bart, then off to the city for work from 10-6 (moved interview in Suisun City to next Tuesday) Friday - interview for a financial analyst at 9am a couple of blocks from work, then work from 10-3,  then company BBQ (driving) It gets more interesting...and changed again, got two calls back wondering if I can reschedule Monday - work from 11:30-7:30 Tuesday - interview in the city at 9am - not bartable, must drive, get there at 10am because there are 3 accidents on the bridge, work at 11:15 to 7:45 because I lost track of time Wednesday - interview at 2:30 in San Jose changed to next week and interview in Novato moved to 8am today......so Novato at 8am, drive back to Pleasant Hill BART, then to city, work 11-7 Thursday - just work from 10-6 Friday - interview for a financial analyst at 9am a couple of blocks from work, then work from 10-3,  then company BBQ (driving) so you may ask..why don't i drive to the city from Novato..and the answer is, it cost more than BART to park all day..cheapest I've found in the area of 2nd and Howard is $12.00 (if anyone knows of anything cheaper in that area..please tell me) I drove today..cost me $20.00, when I left I looked for something cheaper..found the $12.00 place my commute sort of sucks...drive from Vallejo to Pleasant Hill BART, the bart to the city. Pleasant Hill Bart is the closest to my house and i know there is a ferry..but twice as long and twice the cost. If there is a will, there will probably be one more change in the interviews or my crazy schedule this week..off to bed, need to get up early for an interview....hoping I don't miss meeting Lisa or anyone else with all this craziness that loomed up in my life..   11:55:29 PM    comment [] trackback []

wahoo...finally got a job!!! Its for a part-time bookkeeper position. I had an interview yesterday with the main partner of the business (landscape architectural design company) and he basically needs a bookkeeper/office manager to bring his company into the 21st century...the books were previously all done by hand on ledger cards..so to start this will be a full-time position. The company also needs a website and email and all kinds of good stuff...I can make myself very useful and hopefully turn this into a full-time position all the time, if not, then part-time works out great..I can get another part-time job or contractor job doing bookkeeping or anything my heart desires to make up the difference in the income..wahoo!!! He called today and told me I got the job!!! I think this is much better for me, the hours are flexible, I can come in at 10 or 11 and work til 6 or 7 and they want someone that will stay with them long term and that's what I want too. It has all the elements that I'm looking for in a career/job..flexible work schedule, friendly people, graphics, office management, accounting, long-term stability..YEA!!! 4:02:27 PM    comment [] trackback [] alot of people are leaving radio... My subscriptions list on the right side of my blog is dwindling..it seems alot of people are leaving Radio and moving over to typepad or some other type of blog program, is this a trend? (the people that have moved away from Radio are now linked in my blogroll) Yes, I know I could continue to subscribe to their blogs from where they moved too...but I'm thinking about elimating that feature, I never use the news aggregator anyways.. 4:00:58 PM    comment [] trackback []

Inspirations I came across A moment in Reality, IceTippedTears' Blog, I feel like I've known her forever, a sense of peace and gentleness washed over me after reading her blog and her reading of me. She did a reading for me, she seems to know me so well, a true gift. Its almost as somehow our souls have reached out and touched one another, she knows me so well, a type of shimmering energy sparking across the world. Just from reading her blog, I have inspirations in my head of magical words floating through space to land here. Jesse is my other inspiration, my head and heart are filled with love across time, space and distance. His smile makes me smile, my heart is intertwined with his, my love is completely his. I love the template she uses for her blog and am thinking about modifying my free writing template to something similar, as it is eloquent and free. 8:47:13 PM    comment [] trackback []

love is a magical thing love has no perspective on time, place, age or location.  love can be tricky especially since he lives in Kansas and I live here. those daily messages just to say hi, just to check in with each other, its so sweet. we have talked via webcam and IMs and we have talked on the phone. and he is coming out here sometime this summer to visit - at first I think it was to see if this is really real but as we have talked and gotta to know each other, its real, I've fallen in love with him and him me.  He has sent me cards via the internet that make me want to cry because they were so sweet. He likes me just the way I am. And I like him just the way he is except I want him here instead of there. I was hoping for some roses on my birthday but I got this cute little card that reminded of him completely. There are days were I have this overwhelming desire to kiss him and wish I could go there but I know that this love is true and eventually we will be together. He doesn't like talking on the phone but he's getting better and he could call me too when he wants to talk. I want to feel his arms around me and hold his hand and kiss him..i'm in love. 12:42:16 AM    comment [] trackback [] Dating ok..what happened? I used to be #38 on the rankings and now I've dropped down to #67..is it the boredom? Maybe I need to get out more, find more interesting things to talk about or maybe i need to actually write that newbie tip on changing your theme or maybe I should do what Chris Magazine does and talk about those childhood bed-time stories, although I was thinking when I read his humpty dumpty post, that he should put down the book slowly and walk away and now he's at it again.. now as another tidbit revelation, I was thinking maybe I should go and do something I love like interior design or maybe media design...although the idea of fixing the interior of a house and actually getting paid for my ideas..that would be a mixture of fun, pleasure and money or maybe a massage therapist..ideas, ideas, ideas, anything is gotta be better than sitting here cleaning the house..its not that big of a house 12:02:32 AM    comment [] trackback []

Hi My name is bored. What is your name? I'm hungry, ambition and drived to succeed and you want to know why? because my name is bored, beyond bored i'm tired of looking for a job everyday on the internet and when i do get a call i usually have no idea what I applied for because I've applied for some many damn jobs how many ways can i come up creatively to tell you why you should hire me instead of the other millions of people that are also looking for a job why me? why not them? because I'm hungry, ambition and bored? and i'm going mad, mad I tell you, mad as a marble i need to get out, get away from the computer, get out of the house before i lose my mind, its gone, just plain gone, the winky tinky light is losing it where did the winky tinky spinky dinky light go? sailing up, up, up and away hi, my name is bored, what is your name? 11:45:59 PM    comment [] trackback [] Free Writing the jerk that discriminated against me because I smoke..the final chapter.... so the jerk sent me this email Thank you for being honest with us but I will be honest with you too, we are very skeptical about people who smokes not because they are bad people or less talented just because they are addicted to the nicotine.  Jessica my wife and my partner in the business is a trained nurse that used to manage the whole operations for Kaiser hospital in regards to Heart and Lungs transplants.  Most of her patients used to be people like you and she realizes how hard it is to quit.  Smokers are higher liability then non smoking employees, higher insurance premiums, more sick days, lost productivity due to smoking breaks, etc…  I know that is hard to hear all of these things but it is the truth and that is what you will always hear from me, the truth. I do care for your health as a human being but the bottom line is that I care for the business and for the way the business is going to be run and by who?  I can not work with people that smells like an ashtray just because of my own selfishness I do not like the smell and 95% of our clients are non smokers and I know from experience that they do not like the smell either, they have asked us in the past to refrain from sending out engineers that smokes. I do have big plans for you only if you have big plans for your self and you really think that this is the right time for you to quit smoking and have a new start, a new job, a new life, healthier life. The choice is in your hands, should you choose to come to work tomorrow morning that means you are understanding what I wrote and you are accepting the challenge otherwise if I do not see you I know that this is too hard for you to commit to and I wish you good luck in your future and I responded with this Thank you for your email. I thought about this over the weekend and I pretty much knew what your answer would be. I completely understood what you wrote however since I have choices in my life and have never been afraid to commit to challenges. I will have a new start, a new job and a new life without your help. I am a hard worker with a strong work ethic and my lifestyle choices should not be a reason not to hire me. However at this point, I have no desire to work for someone that basis his decision on whether or not I smoke. I will quit smoking when I am ready to quit and not because of someone saying I must for a job. I don't want to have to always wonder if I start smoking again, will I lose my job? Or if have a cigarette during a lunch break, will I have big brother looking over my shoulder? I don't want to feel like I am 14 again with my parents making sure I'm not breaking the rules. I have plenty of friends that smoke and plenty that don't but I do not punish any of these friends because of their lifestyle choices. I can't remember the last time I got sick and stayed home from work because of a smoking related illness and I have never had loss of productivity because of smoking, just because you have had bad experiences in the past doesn't mean every smoker is like that. I do have big plans for my life and I will find some other place/person that values my talents and skills over my lifestyle choice of smoking or whatever it may be that you don't agree with. You do owe me for my work on Friday for the accounting auditing and the html programming for your client. I will be billing you my regular programming/pc rate for the html work. I also have your office key which Rose gave me on Friday and can drop that off tomorrow when I pick up my check if that is agreeable to you. I have attached an invoice for my work on Friday. I wish you good luck in your future and may you find the right non-smoker for the position which apparently pissed him off...and I got this response I am very sorry that you are upset about me being honest with you; maybe honesty after all is not the best thing in life… I hate to be a big brother and that is why I gave you the choice to forget about all of this in my first e mail, then you are the one that suggested that you will not smoke during the day. I do know that you are a hard worker and a good one; I never had a doubt in my mind. I am sure you have plenty of friends that smoke, and some of them that don’t, but I am not one of your friends. In regards to your health, If you listened to the latest news by the surgeon general you would know by now that it is only a question of time I agreed to pay you $20 an hour for the time you will be working in my office during the trial period and not a penny more or a penny less, we never agreed to any other rate other then $20 an hour.  You are welcome to bring the keys back tomorrow and receive your check for $100. If you are so angry at me for thinking that your smoking habits are so bad I would suggest that you have a talk with the people you are giving out as your references. I wish you all the best! so i only got the $100.00 but it was worth a try to try to charge him more. He told me that he never smelled the smoke on me but my reference said I was a heavy smoker and it was bad - the man was back-pedaling or trying to because I told him flat out that I didn't want to work for him, that I didn't want to work for someone like him and my references that's bullshit, last I checked most of them smoked too or don't have a issue with my smoking, I've asked the ones that don't smoke if it bothered them if I smoked around them..if it does, i don't. So anyways, thanks for all the advice from everyone..this wasn't the right opportunity for me 11:35:16 PM    comment [] trackback [] Vallejo reminds me of Fresno I was driving around Vallejo today and realized it reminds me alot of Fresno. Fresno is spread out and so is Vallejo. I guess you'd have to drive around in Fresno then drive around in Vallejo to compare the feeling you get. The only difference I see is that Fresno is flat, not near water and 1/2 the price of Vallejo..but its the same feeling. 11:22:01 PM    comment [] trackback []
