Wow. It has been a VERY long time since I updated. I actually have to go back to my last post to see what I last updated about. Ahhh…got it. Time to update.

Well, I managed to get my video compressed so you can watch it here. It’s really nice quality still and it’s cool I did manage to break my truck…twice. The first time I broke it, I broke the front axle in half:

I managed to get a part and get it fixed. Only $20 part and took me about 15 minutes to fix. I almost have it all tuned too. When I went to start it after I fixed it, I broke the pull starter….so I have an electric start on order and it should be here hopefully either tomorrow or Friday. I probably won’t be able to use it until next week at the earliest anyways, but it’ll be nice to get it all set this week. As soon as I get it tuned and get some more good videos I’ll put them up.

School starts on Monday. I have to go get all my books tomorrow, hopefully all my financial aid and stuff is all setup so I can actually get all my $530 worth of books. I’m not really looking forward to classes, but I need to take them, stupid Gen. Eds…

Work is going alright. Jad’s last day is tomorrow and then it’s all me over there…quite looking forward to it, but I’m excited too.

Didn’t get to go to Mikelann’s for Easter, stayed home with family. It wasnt bad, but I miss her a lot. Can’t wait for Friday when I get to see her

But really, I think that’s all for now.

Yes, I know it’s been waay too long since I updated last. I’ve been REALLY busy with finals and whatnot. I am finally starting to slow down a bit. Finals week was last week and I managed to get through them all.

One of my grades has been posted so far. My Visual Basic class, and it was an A of course All of our grades have to be posted by tomorrow so I’ll know the grades in my two accounting classes then. Honestly, if I get out of it with at least a B in each I’ll be happy. My books for next quarter though…$530….ARGH! School is so frickin’ expensive.

You all know that I was put back to customer service part-time. Well, I was approached by Mike (CFO) about a job again on Wednesday. Jad, my old boss, is leaving. He is going to another company and his position needs to be replaced. He runs infranet and our data warehouse. Well, I don’t know Infranet like he does, but I do know about the Data Warehouse and I can do a good portion of what Jad does on a daily basis. So I am going to be working over there again during the week.

I will be moved back to full-time, and I get a raise for doing the stuff that I do in MIS. I’ll be working there from 8-12 Monday through Friday and then from 12 - 5 (or 3 if I have school) I’ll be working over in customer service. That’s cool and all, but I also, have to work a full day on the first and last day of every month for billing. Yes…even on weekends. My job isn’t bad, but I think it’s time that I start looking for a new one. Now, the stuff that I can’t do with infranet and everything we will be contracting out to an old employee, Suraj.

Now, I’m all cool with getting a raise and vacation time and whatnot, but I’m NOT so cool with working weekends…I even had to work THIS WEEKEND. I had to come in for a meeting from 8:30-2:30…that irritated me, the only good thing is that I got a free lunch out of it…I took tomorrow off for a reason….I didn’t want to work this weekend…*sigh* oh well. Life goes on.

I got a new R/C truck Friday! It’s fun. I’m still trying to compress it right, but if you have DivX then you can watch it here.

Well, I think that’s it for now. TTFN

Yes, I know it’s been a while, please forgive me

I am updating now, but what about I’m not quite sure.

I did get my tax returns back finally!!  YAY for that!  I have a fair bit left yet, and I’m going to put a chunk into my savings and I might be going to get a nice Nitro RC again :)  The one I have is a great beginner one, but the parts are too flimsy so I keep breaking them, and it’s a pain to have to wait for the mail to get new ones to replace it with.  I’ve got a couple of different models that I’m looking at and I’m going to take a look at some this Thursday after work.  It will be cool to get one again, not too mention spring break is coming up so I can have more time to mess around with it

School is WAY overloading right now.  Of course it is, it’s the end of the quarter….I have 3 projects to do, plus tests, and homework so it’s been stressful, but I should make it through without any issues, I always do.  Plus I’m really confident in my grades this quarter in all my classes so I should be able to pull something out of my hat

Work, is going well.  I still don’t like getting up early, but what can you do?

Mikelann and I are doing great like always, it’s nice to spend time together, just the time apart sucks.  But it’s ok, its good for the communication and the relationship.

Anywho, I think thats it for now.  We are supposed to get some more snow and dropping temps today which will make for a wonderful drive.  TTFN

’til next time
