Today (09/13/04), I am worrying about money again...will there be enough to get to next payday...stuff like that.

As always, there WILL be enough, but I am a worry-wort.

My second job hasn' t notified me when I am to start, so I am on hold..and a little worried that they are taking too long to do the background check and to get back the drug test results.

When I called today, they didn' t know when they would call me in for orientation.

Oh well...maybe next week...

Let' s see...

The second job that I was supposed to get just went out the fu**ing window...it appears that the personnel manager quit.

Now, I have to wait another two to three weeks for Target to get their act straight... and they could not even tell me when I could actually start work, so I have to look elsewhere for a second job.

Life su**s!!!

Well, sometimes it does...today is one of those days.

That sucks DaRoosh65. But it' ll come good in the end. Game and Blockbusters in the UK are being a pain not getting back to me. Both places need people but haven' t sorted out interviews yet. I' m here waiting for the post to come through every day to hopefully find a letter from one of them. Tomorrow I' m off to go sort things out once and for all, I do reckon.

Today I went swimming trying to do some exercise to get in a better shape. Yesterday I even went to the gym for the first time in a month or two. I even resisted beer at the ' ol pup and stuck to a few glasses of diet coke. Go me!

Today was a better day...

I took a co-worker, that had open-heart surgery, to the doctor to get documentation for our boss. I like doing good deeds...

An application was placed at a hospital and at Valvoline. The Valvoline manager said that I should receive a call on Monday...that' s when the district manager will be back.

I am hopeful that I will be working by next week...maybe.

Read this!
Remember when I posted about my problem with the Official Xbox Magazine (OXM)? I got it fixed! I emailed them with a complaint and they replied. They have canceled my suscription and I don' t have to pay a dime...even though I recieved more than I was supposed to: TWO free magazines and TWO free cd demos! WHooh do I feel blessed!

Congratulations, Alley_Hater!!!

Good to see the little guy getting some respect.

As for how things are going for me today (09/18/04), my fiancee got three call backs to come in for interviews on Monday...this is good news, because if she works, then I only have to work one job!

I' m having a really good day today!

Well I can definately say that I am feeling better than my last post.
Today I am thinking about how I wish I wasn' t sick. I missed a good concert and a movie last night because of it.
On top of that I need to effectively divide my time between playing games and doing school work so I can get both done.
Finally, thinking about when I will be going to pick up Def Jam Fight for NY next week

Well, let' s see...

Today, my fiancee went for two interviews (one was rescheduled by the employer), and got a " We' ll call you back, if we are interested..." and the other called her back to say that she was not chosen, but that she is being considered for a lower-paying position.

That was shot all to he**!!!

I will be calling Valvoline tomorrow morning to see what' s going on with my application with them. Hopefully, they will want to interview soon.

My finances are dwindling, my future is bleek, and I should be down in the dumps. However, I am surprisingly upbeat...

Tomorrow is another day...another chance to get my life back into line.

Today, I finally got in contact with Target...they found my paperwork, drug test results, and background check results!!!

I start early next week...

Arrangements have been made to get my finances back on track. Eventually, I will be able to get some of those XBOX games that I had to pass up due to the lack of finances.

Yaaahoooooo!!!!!

Congrats Daroosh! That is great.

Today I am thinking about how much I am going to miss NHL hockey. And how much I should stop procrastinating.

What more could one ask for?

So what do you do for Target DaRoosh?

Remember... life could be so much worse.... you could work for Wal*Mart.

My position is referred to as ' the back room' by managers.

Basically, I will be placing the stock that arrives and is unloaded in to it' s proper ' back room' or sales floor location. I will do this by using scanners to provide product and location information.

It' s definitely not brain surgery, that' s for sure! But, it is close to home, offers enough money to satisfactorily supplement my income, the hours are quite manageable, and I get the store discount (to apply to all those XBOX games I' ve been wanting).

And, with what I saw in the office areas, I should be able to move up the first time a position opens. They have bright, young, and eager kids performing the management and office functions - many people with less skills than I have!

I look to be a major asset to Target...and I am hoping that they will return the favor by promoting me.

Only time will tell...

Got a call today from a local hospital that I applied to almost 6 months ago. I have an interview in the morning.

If I get this job, I will be able to take care of my family' s need and wants AND still have enough money to get all those XBOX games I missed out on (like Fable and ESPN NBA 2005 to name just 2).

As for Target, I will be leaving them only if I get this job...the apy difference is just too much for me to say " no" to the hospital (if the job is offered).

We' ll see...
