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
