Utah

I'm taking a weekend trip to Utah for my sibs dance competition at Lagoon. I was almost going to drive so I could trip around where ever, but decided to ride instead. I still got to run to the gym while my family played cards and swam so that was cool. It was a great workout too. The Golds Gym location that I went to was totally different then the three we have in Boise. Getting ready to head out, later.

iPhone water damage and replacement

I was at the gym finishing up and getting ready to shower. Normally I leave my phone on top of my bag but it must have fell down into the bag. By the time I got out of the shower my water bottle had spilled almost all of the water in the bag. Didn't even notice till I was almost dressed. Haha my phone was acting weird by saying the device isn't supported but I figured it fell causing it to do that. The it kept doing it so I picked it up and the bottom was drenched. I dried it off as much I could but knew that more would need to be done. I put it in a bag of rice all night long and in the morning it worked fine for a good two hours till it kept resetting and wanting to be connected to iTunes.

I ran around town trying to get it repaired and almost bought a new one without contract. (I wouldn't have been in such a rush for a new phone if i wasn't leave to vegas) then an Att dude said to get my butt over to apple. I have no clue why I didn't go the first, dee duh dee! That should have been my first choice to go to. Anyways I went there to get an appointment with a genius. He asked to open it up and look at it to see how bad the damage was. Once he did we found out it was just the 30 pin connector on the bottom and would be cheap to replace. Cause of that he swapped out my phone for another one on the one year warranty it comes with.

I totally couldn't believe it! I figured I would end up paying $700 for a new phone or pay the difference in damage for another one. Once again, just another reason and good experience with another apple product.

Food

I've been really getting into making food recently. Most just pizza right now cause its easy to make and reheats at the office very nicely. Originally I was just making it for lunch to save money, but now its growing on me as an every Sunday thing. Cook a meal on Sunday and use that for work the next three days.

I  have started sleeping really bad and waking up last minute just to get a touch more sleep. Only problem with this is that I end up skipping breakfast and then remember I have nothing at the office to eat. I feel like I am starving till lunch. haha I think I will  begin to make at least three days worth of breakfast along with the lunches I make. I figure three days are better then none.

You did not just send that...

This is a real conversation with my boss through texting, talking to him is the same way. I know it is mean, but the best part of conversations like these are when I get to prove him wrong the next second or even better, the next day when I come in. :) And now your feature presentation…

Boss:
Where is power supply for flatfold samsung monitor in conf room?


Me:Last time I saw it it was plugged into the monitor in the conference room


Boss:Nope. Pls hook up xd300 in the am. Must be in boxes from phx first


Me:No it's there. I pulled the ivga from that tc to put on the website last week.


Boss:Must be invisible


So ya… I just wowed… I wanted to freak out on him right there, but the pleasure will be in the morning when I can point out the power supply. :] I know that might sound mean, but when he knows I am right in things like this why does he taunt me? He knows I have no dumb reason to lie to him about it.

Phoenix

I took a trip down to Phoenix for work to attend a Pastors conference. That city is the bomb! If it had an ocean it would totally be home for me. I took some video while down there and plan to edit it together and post it sometime soon… maybe. haha There were so many small things and big things that made it so great. The main thing was that its a large city; I love them and I want to live in one some day. Large buildings are great to look at when far away from them and while driving down roads between them. There is such a cool feeling. Another thing I liked is how they run roads next to the freeway so you don't have to get off an exit early and hit the side roads. You just get off at one of the many ramps along the way and do down the road till you come the the road you need. I had thought that that would be cool, but never seen it being used till last week.

The best part about being down there was getting a job interview. Ya… I was down there for a job and got a job interview. lol I went into the interview and the only thing they did was sit me down in front of a mac pro and a wacom cintiq 21ux to draw two people playing on a beach. I had to do this in photoshop and painter 10. So one drawing in each of the apps fresh from white background. I knocked that out in 40 minutes which was surprising to me since that same thing would take me hours on end to complete. They really freaked out at what I did which didn't make sense to me cause I didn't think it was that great, but whatever. They said I was hired if I wanted the job, then started showing me around the place and past projects they had worked on.

This is when that crap started happening. He started showing me erotic stuff and that this is where they wanted my 'expertise' at the office. I wasn't going to have any part of that in my life so straight up I told him I would not be doing this work for him and not involved in any way. I asked if there was a way I could focus on everything else they wanted done. He was set on wanting me to do that work for him; he started fighting for me. haha The original pay was going to be $36 an hour, he upped it a few times until he stopped at $42 an hour and said that was he last offer. I turned it down and thanked him for his time. I did want to work there since that would be such a relaxing job to do, but now that I have really thought about it... I don't think I would take the job if I was asked to work on other parts of the company. Either way I don't want to support someone that does work like that and for me to work in a different branch would still support them. I'm glad I didn't take it.

Seems an out of state job is not what I am going to get currently and thinking maybe I should focus on the Boise market for options again.

7 to 0

Well that makes it official. With the seven jobs that I applied for in California, none of them want to hire for the amount that I need to live off of. That or it is only for a while then I am out of a job. Seems Cali is not where I am suppose to be as of right now. I still plan to find a way down there, but I have been asking God when I can go down, I guess that right now is not the time for me to leave Idaho. I wonder if there is something that needs to be finished here before I leave. hmmm

One of those days

Over all today was a good day, but sometimes those things happen and it just throws you over the boat. Just very frustrated right now. I will be better in a few minutes, as I don't like to stay mad long cause it is pointless. I need to choose to be happy rather then mad, not letting it take control of things over me… I will just sit here and fume for a minute. Its my own choice to let it get to me rather then stay happy; most of the time I choose to stay happy as a life choice…. I like being happy.


See? I am happy already. :) Life is good.
