argh.....

so I found out today that my laptop should be done tomorrow... we hope. Ergo... I will be posting more as originally promised... including photos.

My job search may be coming to a close.. with the last piece of paperwork in the to-do box of DMV... I should be able to give my 2 weeks notice, and just in time. Not sure what has got Mr. P in a rampage but he is taking it out on the washbay.... again. :( This round has officially got me and my co-worker worried with the words "this is your last chance". No matter what we do... or how we do it, we are wrong... he is right. No if, and, or but. Even the shop supervisor is puzzled and at a loss as to how to appease this man. (I believe that nothing will please him period). It will be a blessing to give my 2-weeks notice for I will not have to put up with Mr. P's horse hocky for much longer, nor fight to get needed supplies. I will miss driving the 18-wheelers but the tense atmosphere will not be missed. I don't recall if I said already or not... but I will be installing satellite tv systems for Dish Network. And at a pay increase... maybe get some bills paid.

Rumor has it that I am to soon to become an uncle (on my side of the family). Casey and his wife Tiffany are expecting some time soon this next month. After the new year... it is rumored the trio will be on TDY to Germany. This at least means that Casey will get to help raise his new child vs. going to Iraq as first thought. This is definately an answer to prayer. Before he moves, Mom is going to attempt to come down to the states and see her new grandbaby and maybe even get a chance to stop by Montana. We shall see what the future holds.

Family pix.... My family pix.. are soon to come... PLEASE HANG IN THERE!!!!!!
Well I have to do some research for a friend... Later!

Technical Difficulties....

So I have discovered that my laptop yet again has another problem. The charging jack is bad almost rendering the laptop useless. This after the brilliant achievement of loading Linux to my laptop hard drive. I have been wanting to play with Linux and learn more and just in the 2 days I have worked with it I have learned so very much. Now a days, it looks and almost feels like windows... and uses only half as much memory. With some cool window actions... and a IM messenger that allows both Yahoo and MSN in the same window... I am slowly using this more as my basic word processor.. rest assured though, I still need XP for printing and etc.

I am off work early today for I had a Job interview to attend today. I have applied to become a Satellite TV installer and it pays more than I make now. We will see what happens over the next few days while the background check gets completed. Wish me luck....

Pictures have not slipped my mind... just don't have any yet...Bear with me.... SOON!!!!
Well I better go for now... catch you later!
