This morning I was jolted awake by my phone ringing. I look at the caller id and see "Chris" calling me. I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or not, and I debated on answering the call or letting voicemail pick it up. I'm sure I picked it up JUST before VM would've kicked on, but then I said "Hello?" and I hear Chris talking. He was telling me that he got my myspace message (because that's literally the only way to get ahold of this kid, he never answers his phone, and sending postal mail would never work) and asked if I was coming out to Louisville this weekend. I told him no, that I'd be out there this week or weekend, and asked him why. Told me that he was in New Jersey because his grandma's boyfriend died (which I felt bad for not even saying anything about it, but it didn't seem right to even try to be somber with him, I always get angry now.)
So he tried to make small talk but I was slightly bitter and grumpy on the phone. I tried to remain civil but I did make one SORT of snappy comment. I told him all of the stuff of my mine that I left there that I'm picking up, and he mentioned paying me $50 back instead of the $100 and I told him that if he can't pay me for the full $100 that I'm just going to take the cable modem and wireless nic card back instead. I don't think he was really happy with me saying that.
Now all I do is just wait until I'm up in Louisville and we'll see what happens with it. I know he mentioned that if I go over there when he's not there, that Ian will not let me in. I don't see what picking up my belongings has to do with wanting to even step foot into the disaster of an apartment. So I told him that he needs to just have all of my stuff in a box or whatever, that way if I have to go over there while Chris is not there, Ian or whomever is there at the moment can easily give me my shit with no problems whatsoever.
I have this odd luck with jobs. If I actually show some motiviation and go out to apply for them, I never get a call back. But when I randomly fill out an online UNICRU application at 2-3AM in the morning, I get a call back the next day. This happened with Best Buy and it just now happened with Circuit City.
I've got an interview on Saturday at 11AM with the store manager, so hopefully it goes good. I applied for the PC Tech job. I'm kind of confused on how I should be feeling. I admit that I'm a total BB cog, but well, okay what I want to say is just going to have to go on hold, especially if I get this job, because I don't want to end up dooced.
Gotta go clothes shopping tomorrow though because I have absolutely nothing to wear, unless you consider a pair of capris with a hole in them, and my Best Buy polo to be proper to wear to a Circuit City interview, then I'll wear it. :P But since that's not, I just need to find a shirt to wear, and some shoes. I've got a pair of tan pants (eek, it's been hot out lately though) so I'm set with that. God I hate shopping for clothes.
I'll also be going to visit Louisville next week. I think I'm going to be leaving on Tuesday, but I'm not sure what day I'll be coming back. I still need to work out some of the details, but hopefully all shall be good.
Thank the new theme from smackfoo.com and 5thirtyone.com for it, since I was too lazy to try to create my own. Well not so much lazy but I've been busy with a few designs for clients that I didn't have much time to share. 'Tis really pretty so I did minimal editing. Eventually I'll tire of the colors and change them, but for now it's going good.
IE users beware, there might be some issues with the css positioning (especially in the footer). I also think there's an issue with width for anyone that'll be using 800x600 or lower. So far everything looks fine in FF though, so I think it's good to go. Comment if you find any errors and you know how to fix them, any help is appreciated :)
Things are looking good right now. My grandma sent me a letter that made me feel really guilty for having put off talking to her for the past few months. She also slipped in some money for me, so that'll definitely help me out for awhile since I'm still on the hunt to replace Best Buy.
I think I might cave in and buy a new Seagate drive so I can put linux on it. I'm not even sure if I want it to have Ubuntu, because I've kind of had an eye on SUSE Linux desktop edition. *drools* I don't know though, we'll see. I might try to get Rem to download all of my programs and burn them to my dvds, and I might just reformat my computer and put it on there, and just run Windows and whatever else in VMware. Though I'll have to back up my new files to dvds, and use my old disk in the enclosure to transfer back over old photos, music, and website files.
I've been getting annoyed at my site's bloat (more so in the backbone aspect of it) so I've been trimming away some of the access (deactivating plugins I haven't used yet, or will not use) and adding in some new ones (WP-Page Navi, Bread Crumb Trail) to try to spruce things up and better the navigation.
You'll definitely see some 404's and fuckups until I can get them sorted out. Right now I'm trying to figure out what plugin is interferring with my PHPEXEC plugin, and it's proving rather tedious and annoying. I might end up just caving in and creating a page template for it, even though I didn't want to go that route. *bratty*
