Phatigue

Ok so I got my job back where I did my internship and started my apprenticeship.  I'm stoked to be there and really enjoy the job.  Right now is a shutdown so there is a lot going on and I am experiencing high than normal income as a result.  Since I started back right at the beginning I haven't been able to get things like computer log ins sorted out so for now I am "trusting" them that my pay is correct. 
I really wanted my first post about work to feature a picture of where i work as taken from the end of my street and i may still get one now that i have a new camera.  fuck capital "i"'s.  And "f"'s apparently.  Working a lot has been great and i enjoy most of the people i work with.  There is a place I have to go to get things.  These guys there give everyone a hard time about asking them for help obtaining things and it's not fun when someone says i have to go there be.cause those guys always sound upset that you asked them for something even though it's their job to give you things. But I refuse to have any feelings other than enjoyment of being at work since I  hopefully have a long career ahead of me there.  Now that I am working I'm experiencing a ton of lifestyle changes.  I have 0 personal time usually and come home just in time to see the lady and the mighty before we all go to sleep.  I don't have company over at all nor do I go anywhere.  I miss my lady and my boy, and to think only a few weeks ago we were tired of tripping over each other.

I have nothing else to say atm.


I pre ordered cataclysm today



I will be playing it at 3:07 am on dec 7.


I'm a nerd.

My baby has gotten cuter and a whole lot fatter.  I bet he is 20 lbs right now as the last time he was weighed he was 17 and it's been a while.  He can almost sit up now an he laughs and smiles and is happy to see me when i come home from work.  I stopped for the first time the other day and bought him a toy on my way home from work.  I'll probably do  that 1,000,000 more times as he gets into cooler toys and i need shit to play with :)  I can't wait to buy his first basketball and likely will this xmas :P    I'd also like to find a baby sized acoustic guitar for when he's 1 maybe 2.  Today i saw him sit up on his own with no chair and no help.  Mama sat him up and then he used his arms to keep himself from falling forward and pushed himself up to look at me.

The Best Day Ever (This Month)

So yesterday started out like your regular mundane everyday. (Without internet, t.v., telephone, or job)  And by the end of the day I was worried that I should stay inside in case I was struck by lightning.  That would have been the only thing that could have put a damper on my day.

So the first good thing in my day was waking up and playing with my smiley boy.  M.F. is a good time when he's not screaming about the lack of boob he's getting.

Second was that the phone started to work which then lead to the entertaining part of the day where we received about 10 phone calls from Bell which then resulted in us making 4 or 5 calls back to them to find out what the fuck was going on.  Typical of the reasons I left Bell in the first place.

Then the T.v. guy came to hook up our cable and give us a new PVR.  Bell cable is something new to me and I have lost some of my beloved channels (teletoon, Tsn).  Tsn isn't really lost but I don't feel I should have to pay for it since I don't really watch much except for OTR and since the host is a dink I won't really miss it.  Instead I'll experiment with Leafs Tv and Raptors Tv.   We have some new HD channels for free but my HD tv is an older model and I can't really tell if it will be worth it to pay for new HD channels.

Next up we received one of our many phone calls from bell and the person on the other end starts telling me about how they want to give us a promotional discount as new customers and that our service will be installed next Wednesday.  Whoa! Says I.  That shit is supposed to happen this afternoon.  So I hand the phone over to the lovely Lisa who is handling the setup of these services and she recognizes immediately that this is some telemarketer doing something called "assumptive closing"  She knows this having worked in a call center before and was trained to do this.  Then Lisa phones bell to find out WTF is up and as she is on the phone with them I go out and meet the internet guy that just pulled up.  He hooks things up and TADA!!! I'm back in the World of Warcraft (which i had been missing dearly as it was almost 16 hours since my last log  in =P )

So that's the the foundation for a pretty good day.  Then It happens.  1 Day after I had vowed to re-renew my job search.  The long distance phone ring......Lisa answers......smiles and says he's right here, hands me the phone and I hear a voice I was so scared I would never hear again.

"Chris! Rick Colton here, what are you doin?"
My responce in a very meek and frightened voice "uh, waiting for you?"
Rick in his ever fear inducing way: "are ya nervous?" 
me: "oh ya"
Rick: "Why?"

me: "I wasn't feeling to confident after my interview and then when there was no call on Monday or Tuesday I started to get worried."
Rick:  (knew I was at home freaking out) "Well I'm calling to let you know that we are going to hire you."
me:  "Oh thank you soooo much, that's great.  This is great."

He said he didn't know when I would hear from HR but figured at the beginning of September.
the Lovely Lisa immediately broke into tears, as did my mommy when I called her and told her, and then Lisa said "Don't you wanna come over here and kiss me?"  my reply "Fuck no! Lets go shopping and order a pizza!!"

...And that's all it takes to make my best day ever, being told my job search is over and I am embarking on my first real Career.  It's very exciting.  I can't wait to be a full fledged Instrumentation/Electrician

It Makes my boy happy.
