This was awesome!

Wife 1.0

Last year, a friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it’s a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw.
Some features I’d like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0…
A “Don’t remind me again” buttonMinimize buttonShutdown featureAn install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don’t lose cache and other objects)
I tried running Girlfriend 2.0 with Girlfriend 1.0 still installed, but they tried using the same i/o port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall Girlfriend 1.0 but it didn’t have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another problem with all versions of Girlfriend that I’ve used is that it is totally “object oriented” and only supported hardware with gold plated contacts.

***** BUG WARNING *****

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

Off Target

I was fired yesterday. I no longer work for Target Corp. I was told that I had a meeting with HR when I arrived at work Tuesday. Something about a recorded phone call from Friday. Well Target also records screen shots along with the phone call itself. I had been doing too much web surfing, and had found my way to a harmless site, Break.com, where I was looking at meaningless pictures, just stupid stuff, humor, unrealistic things. We've all received the emails and been to various sights of the same nature(ebaumsworld.com for instance), well, there was a video section on this site, so I was checking that out and the next one up was a Spring Break video. Lot's of girls, bikinis and thongs, and HIGHLY inappropiate for a workplace environment. Now, this was not my intention to find such a video. Also I was not paying any attention to what was written on the site, as there was listed; I was informed by HR; a full lungth description of the video. I was mearly looking for funny things to amuse my time while waiting for a phone call to be routed to me. At the instant one came in, this video was starting to play. I was just under my 90 days, I was at day 85. Sunday would have been 90. I was told there is NO tollerance for inappropiate material within 90 days of employment and that I am since being let go. I pleaded for a warning, or a write-up to go in my file, but no, this was the only action to be taken. Well, I have deffinately learned my lesson. But now the question is, "What do I want to do now?"

On the bright side....

Things have worked out between me and Ally, I think we're cool again. And things are starting to take off for my pursuit in radio, I've been spending a lot of time with my friend Dan and kicking back in the studio, learnin the biz. We'll see what happens!

Entry for September 2005 thru January 10, 2006

WOW, so I have been gone for a long time. I don't think that anyone really noticed anyway. Well, let's start out... At the end of September I cut the web and cable out of my life. Also, I was in the process of job searching. I am happy to say that I found a great new job! It was a long road getting here, but I made it. Because of the sale with RMA, I really wanted out now. I had been interviewed for my new job on October 5th, and afterward was pretty confident I was going to recieve the position. So, I drafted up my resigination, but I waited for the right time to turn it in. In other words, I need to know that I was locked in at my new job. It took almost a month for them to get back to me and let me know when training was going to begin and what my pay rate was. Anyhow, it gets better... I wanted to give my notice on October 21st. That would give me 2 weeks, and November 4th would then be my last day, however, I was not guaranteed my position untill October 24th at 10am! They said training started on November 7th. That means I had to go take the drug screen within 24 hours. I had a doctor appointment at 2pm on the 25th for my back, but that was beyond the 24 hour time, so I had to go after work on Monday. I got a call saying everything was good on Tuesday after work. So I gave notice on Wednesday October 26th at 8am. Around 2pm I was called into a meeting and was told I was being suspended, and that I was not allowed to take anything from my desk, but to call back tomorrow and find out what the investigation came up with. I called Thursday and was told not to return to work, I was terminated. I was very upset, but not just because of that, but because my supervisor lied straight to my face when I went back to get my belongings. She removed things from my personal folder and proceded to tell me there was nothing inside of it. Now, ask yourself this... why would I have a 3-ring binder at my desk with nothing inside? And to top it off, she took my artwork from the see-thru cover stating again there was nothing there! Artwork that was irreplaceable! I was so happy to be done with that place, and to have a 2 week vacation!
So, I am guessing that you all want to know where I work now? Well, it is still in collection, but a much better company. I now work with Target Financial Services. That's right, the big bullseye! A multi-million dollar company! No more uncompensated employment, no more petty disputes with those stupid co-workers! More authority, and more money! It's great! With all of this going on and getting situated into my job, I haven't had much time or money to get online to update anything. But that is turning around and I should be back online soon. Some other things happening...
My friend Dan from Erie moved back home to the Cities. My other friend Ally now hates me because I blew up at some messages left on my phone at 2am by a friend of her's who hates me. Guess she wasn't that good of a friend. And Dan is upset with me because of all this as well. And to make that situation worse, him and I had it out over some holiday beliefs. Now we are barely talking or hanging out. My Ex-girlfriend Kara is talking to me again, even after our huge blowup. She really wants to be friends, but I seriously don't think I am ready for that, or that she is either. She constantly avoids seeing me when she comes home from Germany, and when we talk I always bring up "US", and that shuts her down totally. This guy she is with, she says she is going to marry in February, but noone thinks they should. I know she just needs to be home to see that we are right. We'll see what happens.

So, as you can see, I have had an eventfull couple of months, hope it all goes back to normal. SOON
