Lose one job quit another.

Well I have not posted in a while So I will try to give a quick rundown of the past 2 or 3 months. December was a difficult month. With Christmas keeping everyone busy along with everything else we do it was hard to keep up. But about4 days before Christmas day I got notice that I was being let go and to be out by noon. They had no more work for me. My supervisor and other boss called me in after I got the news and apologized for everything. Letting me know he had fought to keep me. I do not blame him for anything. But that took all the wind out of my sales just before Christmas. I was expecting if nothing else maybe a bonus check for all the hard work I had done from September to December. But instead I got a severance check.

So now it has been a little over 2 months since I was laid off. I have found that getting an unemployment check is very difficult to get from the state. First off they don't take into account what I was really earning. So I have took about a $1000 per month pay cut. Then I took a part time job and so they stopped payment on my unemployment right away. That job I was not earning anything and not enjoying it at all. I could not even justify the gas I was spending to get to work. So I quit that job so that I could look for something better. Of course if you quit a job they will put your unemployment back on hold until they decide if they are still going to pay you or not. Paperwork paperwork paperwork. Make our government run slow and yet they still make mistakes. So now I am working part time for my wifes parents helping will collections and some billing. Mostly the folding of paperwork on the billing. But I will say a much more satisfying job compared to the other one.

Now I am still looking for full time work. I am taking online courses to try and get a bachelors degree in art, something I have been thinking of doing for a long time. Sad that it took me loosing my job before I fully took advantage of it. Then I sit at home most of the day trying to save money and take advantage of everything I can. Hopefully sometime soon I will be doing allot of doggy sitting so that I can help pay the bills. I figure if I take a few part time jobs along with the doggy sitting I might be able to bring in a pretty decent salary.

So I guess that would be the basics for everything. I am sure not many people read this so any secrets that I may have divulged should be safe.

Go Vick, Go Eagles!

OK. This is a hot Topic. Michael Vick. The former all-star NFL Quarterback that was arrested over 2 years ago for running and funding a dog fighting ring.

Now I am not a Eagles fan and I saw some of Vick's games back in his hay day. But personally never got into watching him but knew the name. I do not agree with what he has done. and I agree with the Prison time and home areas that he has been put threw. I do not have issue with him going bankrupt for paying back the community for the crimes that he committed and funded. But there are some things I do have issues with and they are not with Vick or the Eagles.

I have Issues with all those that do not want him back into the NFL. I have issues with those that will not forgive a man or at least give a man a chance to get back into his life after our system has said he has done his time. I have Issues with those that see themselves better than someone because they have not committed a crime or at least have not been caught yet.

Michael Vick has been deemed worthy by all those that he has personally met with. Public opinion does not see his heart or his intentions. Public opinion only counts after the fact. Why? Because public opinion is uninformed, uneducated and cruel. Public opinion is filled with hatred.

Public opinion says that Michael Vick should never play in the NFL again. Public opinion says to boycott the Eagles because they are the team giving him a chance.

I say Give Vick a chance. The eagles have done just that. They did exactly what I thought they should do. They gave him a smaller contract for one year. They gave him the contract stating they can let him go next year if he does not perform. That is not only on the field but also off the field. He has to prove that he is more than willing to be a proper role model to those that will look up to him. He has to prove that he is more than willing to help the National Human Society in all that they do. He has a year to prove this. The Eagles are giving this man a shot that no one else would. They are giving him a chance to prove to public opinion that he has grown up and become a better person.

So I say this. Go Eagles for showing that your still a team with Humane Ideals. and I say GO Vick! Prove all your nay Sayers wrong. Prove that you have rethought your life and become a better man. I look forward to seeing the eagles have a good season.

Internet. Schmiternet!

I am Really getting tired of all there networking sites. I mean really how many do I need to join? How many times do I need to know that some person I knew at one point in time is brushing thier teeth or trying to decide if they should go shopping or not.

Then you get into the news. Not only is the news becomming more and more usless. Giving opinions and not facts. Why do the Newspapers have to work so hard to get money. Why do things have to get some damn expensive. The digital age has done so many great things for us. But also the Digital age has torn us and more specifically the youth so far away from reality that I am suprised that we even take time to cook ourselves a meal anymore.

These are things I have seen that the internet has done for us the past decade or so.

1. Helps the American or just in general the world population gain fat.

2. Lets all of us think we are know it alls because we know how to look something up on Wikipedia.

3. Made us all even more of a critique. because everyone has an opinion on everything. The internet just lets us type it for everyone to see and know what type of moron we are.

4. It has took away our work ethic as a nation. It does not matter if it is at home or on the job. We do less work and more web surfing.

5. Internet rip off sites and scams. enough said.

6. Scocial networking sites that make us Less Scocial!

7. Twitter? Really??? Do we really need it!

8. Really sick and twisted sites. Not porn! But sites that show people getting maimed, killed, severly beaten up and all other horrible things. does not matter if it is fake or real. Why do we need it.

9. Child porn. You hear it more and more often of some teacher or goverment official gets caught.

10. Porn in general. I mean really it has gone from your standard typical stuff. To things that would just make you vomit. Sad thing is someone gets off from it. It encourages filth.

The internet Has many great things to offer. But all the filth and other crap you have to wade threw makes it so annoying. I admit that I have gotten caught up in some of these things. But Really I am wanting to be done with it. The Crap that I see going threw the world wide web has started to discust me. I know maybe 3 people will read this. But that is ok. I am sure someone would leave a dumb comment because they never learned to read anything more than a scentence in thier lifetime. We are in the age of the internet. Or the age or the know it all can't do anything with it.
