Getting Net

2 min read
Long story short, I wrote something good here, but I was logged out by the time I posted it. So so sum up what I originally wrote:

I am finally getting net. It will be installed tomorrow, but I won't be able to really use it because I work 10-7. I am really excited for this because I will finally be able to do what I want, when I want.

Also it will be wireless so I'll be able to play online. My gamer tag is EarthChaosSnake. As for the games I have that include online multiplayer: CoD:MW2, Plants vs Zombies, Marvel VS Capcom 3, Peggle, Street fighter 4, Soul Calibur 4, Unreal Tournament 3, and MTG.

I'm also trying to get a better job by working for the Lowes DC. 10-12 starting, raise in a few months of working, 12 hour shifts, but work only 3-4 days a week, and they treat everyone well. Not to mention the other unknown benefits.

So I'll see you all soon, and some of you online. Until then, Happy late birthday Monkey, and have a good day ya'll.

Updated with my gamertag (EarthChaosSnake) and fixed many errors in spelling done through a lack of time.

Well it's 2011 folks. I still find it hard to believe that. I mean last year was a very trying time in my life, but those things have given me a new outlook on life. Where to begin really?

Well I supose I should start by saying I FINALLY got a job. I got it near the end of October, shortly after my last entry. I work at walmart, and I push carts. Yeah, I'm not to thrilled about it either. If you ever consider being a cart pusher, or Stockman as they call us, reconsider. Sure pushing carts may seem like a simple job, but it is very demanding. Well demanding phisically at least. In fact the first week alone was most likely the worst week of my life. I could hardly walk without, and I felt like I went several rounds against a brick wall, with the brickwall winning. And lets not talk about the blisters.

After that week however it became a better job, growing routine quickly. Now after the christmas season I'm about at my limit, and I'm looking for another job. Being treated like a worthless piece of trash by the higher ups is not something I look for in a job. And to make matters worse, the Sams Club cart pushers make 3 dollars MORE than we do, and they have a considerbly easier workload. Smaller lots, less customers, and a electric cart pusher, how I envy them.

But enough about all that gloomy stuff, lets talk cash. With this job I finally was able to buy a lot for me. And as it just so happens, on Black Friday, I bought a 360, something I thought I'd never do. When it first came out, I was all "Okay, so what?" I could care less about it. But it really is a good system. I bought a 4 gig bundle for $200, and it came with Mass Effect 2 (Great game) and COD: Modern Warfare 2 (Not my cup of tea). I then bought several games from then on. Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Dragonage: Origins, and Soul Calibur to name a few.

Now I only need internet again so I don't have to do everything on a public terminal, but that is another story for another time. I think I bored you all long enough, so I just hope you have a great year.

... Well as alive as a zombie can be when searching for a job 30 hours a week.

It is now October, one of my favorite months due to one simple fact: Halloween! Ghouls, ghosts, witches, vampires (not the sparklely kind!), and zombies. How I love the history regarding all things supernatural. Just something about it that envokes my creative spirit.

Before I continue on with my mindless rambleings, I have something to say. At this time I'm jobless, I quit that job because I did not have enough contacts to make it worth while. But, something else has taken it's place. We finally found an apartment! WOO! Everything is not completely set up, but I have my computer up and running as best as it can be. The only problem is I'm currently unable to get net. So for now I'm stuck with using the library's connection.

And to top it all off, I find myself with less free time. I've been enrolled in a program in which I have to spend 30 hours each week for 8 weeks searching for a job. It is such a pain, I barely got my 30 hours in this week (-_-;). It will hopefully be worth it, at least that is what I hope.

Well all that means is I'm very busy and have a lack of free time, but because it is October I've been typeing away at ye ol' keyboard writting. It feels good to be back!

No I'm not talking about 2012. I'm talking about something quite different. I finally got a job. Been filling applications left and right, and finally had my first interview out of ~50 or so applications. Needless to say I spoiled the surprise already. WEEEEEE!

I'm just a bit excited about this. However I'm still on the hunt for another job, one that might be a bit better. But for now I'm happy, I am able to get an income, and possibly get us out of this house.

But beyond that I've been reading a lot. I recommend the book, The serial Killer Club by Jeff Povey. It is a comical take on the genre.

I have also begun writing GS 13. The progress on the editing of the previous chapters was slow due to the lack of computer time, but the latest chapter is slowly being wrote using good old pen and paper.

Well I truly wish I could say more, but nothing else comes to mind.

Edit: Job Update:

Well I managed to get through my first weekend on the job. In short I am currently working for Vector Marketing, and despite what it sounds like it is not an office job. Vector is a division of cutco, which makes the worlds best cutlery. So I'm basically selling knives. We get $15 for every appointment we set up and have, and we get commission for every sale we get. We do not go door to door, in fact we only speak to friends and family, and those we are recamended to. It is a pretty good job, except for one thing which is really holding me back, I have a lack of people in town to start with :P. So I'm hoping I'll build a list of people through the few I do know.

And because it is commission, and because we work at our own pace, I'm still looking for another job to become the main while I work at this one on the side till things pick up.

Still though, I FINALLY HAVE A WORK EXPERIENCE!!! I'm happy about that.

Well truth be told, it very well is a hint of inspiration. At long last I have ideas flowing through my mind again, but sadly with the lack of good net it will be much longer through the year before any are actually uploaded.

In short I'm working on CH. 2 of A Novel Nightmare. Been reading a lot of Lovecraft as of late, and managed to pass one of the main blocks obscuring any advancement of the story; the locations. And While I know I will never do Lovecraft much if not any justice, I will at least urge myself to make it better than any of the movies spawned from his novels. I really don't want to get into the rant about Lovecraft inspired movies here, so I'll just say most are trash. They are most likely made by someone who skimmed, barely understood, or further more just looked at the idea of his stories. The only one of any good would be the Re-animator movie, and even then it only really used the characters and idea of the story in the long run.

Anyways hope the rest of your March is good, and your April better.
