Updates...
Been a fairly busy couple of weeks. I've been on three job interviews in the past five days. For those of you that don't know, Go Daddy decided to let me go back in early March. This was despite me having the highest QA average on my team for the past month and numbers well above average. However, I was in good shape financially. I had enough in savings that I didn't have to worry about finding a job immediately, so decided to slack off for a couple months. I started looking in mid May and found out from Bob AT&T was hiring Tier 2 Support reps for their U-Verse service only about two miles away. Applied and got hired and went through the three weeks of training. And over the third weekend came down with a plague-like coughing sickness and missed a couple days. It turns out I had written down the wrong sick line number, so I contact my temp agency and told them such. They said they didn't have the number but they'd take care of it with AT&T. Turns out they didn't do anything and AT&T let me go for not calling in properly. I'd suggest avoiding Adino if you're looking for employment. Fortunately, finances are still good. The three weeks of AT&T pay extended things a bit. But I started serious hunting again last week. I've applied and interviewed for two third shift help desk positions. They're not super close by(6 and 10 miles away.), but the pay is acceptable, and I like the sound of the environments at both companies. I'm hoping to hear back from them with either a job offer or request for additional interviews soon.
While I've been slacking off, pretty much the only thing I've spent money on is bills, food, and the drive-in. Generally, the routine is to head to Quik Trip to grab drinks and snacks. Then head to either In-N-Out for some animal style double doubles or McDonald's for $1 double cheeseburgers to 'sneak' into the drive-in. Seen quite a few movies this summer. Indiana Jones 4, Wall-E, Hulk, Hellboy 2, and The Dark Knight. All from separate trips. The local drive-in is usually pretty bad about pairing movies, and on the rare occasions that both movies are good Drea usually claims she is melting by the time the first one is over. I liked all of the above movies, even Indiana Jones with the aliens. Could have been better, but didn't hate it. I put it third in my order of preference among the series(1, 3, 4, 2). I may give a more in depth review at a later date. Finally the trailers included with The Dark Night. I'd already seen the Watchmen trailer, so it wasn't a surprise. But looks good. All the characters look correct, and the trailer is pretty much a spot on flash of the entire movie. The one that did surprise me Terminator Salvation. Yay, finally the movie I've been wanting since I saw Terminator back in '84, the war against the machines. I don't even really care if it's good or not. Now if they'll make a Colonial Space Marines movie, and sequels to Buckaroo Banzai and Sword and the Sorcerer all of my 80s movie wants will be fulfilled.
