Much fun as a little medical play can be, I'm afraid the photo fox_cub posted of me(http://fox-cub.livejournal.com/77694.html) was as an actual patient.
So, no volunteers for enema instruction or any other fantasies you might have had.
I applied for a job as a traveling network tech. The job pays better than most in this region and includes decent benefits as well.
I was quite surprised to read this today:
"I sent your resume to my boss and he said you are over qualified. We are looking for 0-2 years experience and want someone to stay for the long hall. This would not be challenging enough for you. Unfortunately, we have no other openings right now."
Meanwhile, other companies want cert-mill or degreed applicants with 3-5 years experience. They also seem to think 30k is acceptable salary... So how is it that this company wants to pay $45k for a newb!?!?!?!?!?
The House For those who don't know, I help FoxCub work on his house... it's finally coming along and feels like were making progress. If the weather will hold out a few more weeks Id be the thrilled.
I'm going... time off request is in(and basically approved). Hope to see all my furriends there and make many more. If you need a ride out I may have space. Be sure to check out the CubHub while you're there!
Work A while ago I took a job that was meant only to be temporary and keep me from depleting my savings. Needless to say I don't care to work retail for the Holiday season... That said I'm looking for something in IT. Prior experience in database-driven web development PHP, MySQL, some Oracle) as well as small network admin IT managment for small business. If you happen to know of anything out there hit me up! If you want a little more insight it what I did or can do please ask... it's too lengthy to post.
For the theater folks... I sold a customer a Festool sander and vacuum... (think $800 for an orbital sander and vac)... he came back today and is sexed about the whole line and rightfully so (it's hot hot shit... even I dropped a ton of money on the suff). But we get to talking and it turns out he does a lot of theater and event work and frequently runs large freelance crews... needless to say he promised me a phone call next time he needs any woodworking and carpenty help. So I'm looking forward to the possibility of getting paid to work with tools instead of look at them.
Okay... it's late ... I meant to write more... I'll post back tomorrow ;)
So I made a footed sleeper, pictures coming. I quite pleased with how it turned out. I'm making two more for friends. Both have surprise enhancements (details to come).
I also went up to LilPups place for a Christmas party... t'was nice! The headed back fox_cubs for some fun... his place is scary. I was introduced to a Pittsburgh shower and the towns history of coal... evil evil coal.
I think the whole city will burn down one day. It's a wonder it hasn't already - the walls of all the old houses are full of coal-dust.
Also there should be lots a photos coming... many from Fox.
So today I ordered fur samples... yep fur samples... Teddy is going to make a fursuit!
Of course, once you decide to do such a thing you'll find yourself racking your brain with questions.
I also have a foam replica of my head curing right now... that should be interest (Seems I gots a big head).
In other news... a colleague of mine wants to exchange interviews with me on Friday. This is turning into a huge deal because it means I have to pull a course out of my ass in 72 hours.
That's 35-40 pages per day or 4-5 pages per hour on an eight hour day. When I'm rock solid on, I can write at that pace. But that usually involves planning, research, preparations... AND I've never marathoned before. At most 2-3 hours on a paper. I'm kind of excited.
So to all those college students wetting their diapees about finals: wanna trade?
So I having all these crazy illnesses, and at the suggestion of too many friends to count I went and got tested for HIV today.
Result: negative (as expected)
I see a lot of folks posting this sex "meme" around. One of the questions being would you do the poster without a condom (cute... real cute. I hope everyone answers no.)
We're waiting on a lab test that'll be back tomorrow.
Though it sounds messed up, I'm hoping it comes back positive, I get handed some antibiotic and go on my merry way. Otherwise I will have spent $100 (yeah, I'm a cash patient...no insurance) for nothing. AND I'll still be wondering what ails me.
I woke up in a haze this morning... to the feeling of a trickle and a wet spot.
No it wasn't a friend playing a trick either... I was fucking peeing!
That's right OMFG... I was wetting my bed. I've not done that since i was something like 4 years old, but here I was woken to the feeling of pee flowing out of me onto my bed.
I only wish I hadn't woken up, and finished in my sleep. Either way though, it was fucking cool.
