Finished first week of new job

As you probably don't know, I got a job with American Greetings (a rather large greeting card company). My job is to go to the stores with my boss and other crew members to install new display fixtures and to remove the old ones.

I like the job; it's very easy, I get to hang out with various people and even get to be outside in the sun sometimes, which is one of my favorite summer time things.

Of course, I find some of the people I work with pretty annoying. Like most people, they aren't very smart, and it can get frustrating dealing with them, and annoying listening to them. But oh well, such is life.

My boss is very nice, and pretty generous. I mean we (his crewmembers) don't get paid very much but he usually pads our hours so we get a little more than the company would like. He's also just a hell of a nice guy, understanding and very friendly. I'm glad to know Dan! I'm also glad I know Laurie, who has been there longer than anyone other than Dan (like 5 years). She's really nice, too, and although she is a Christian, she's not the pushy, judgmental kind. I guess I work for her more than with her, I think she is kind of an assistant to Dan (which Alex says I might be able to be if I stick with this job, since I'm smart and most people Dan employs aren't very).

So far we've gone to Cleveland, Columbus, Wooster, Wadsworth, and some of the suburbs of Cleveland to remove, install and repair fixtures. Usually there are some pretty girls working with me; their job is to fill the fixtures/displays up with cards. I have fun talking and mildly flirting with them at times, which is good since I'm still struggling to get over my ex girlfriend (aka the love of my life).

It's nothing special, but it's a job. Best job I've had in years!

NAILS IN THE FENCE

I found this on another blog, and stole it.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. "
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.
Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

For My Friends Who Are In Love....

(I copied this from someone else because I like it)

For My Friends Who Are In Love....

To all my friends; Be sure to read this, it may help many of you... you will even enjoy and learn from it.
To all my friends who are.....SINGLE
Love is like a butterfly the more you chase it the more it eludes you,but if you just let it fly it will come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts but love is only special when you give it to someone who really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.

To my friends who are.....NOT SINGLE
Love isn't becoming somebody else's "perfect person"
It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

To my friends who are....ENGAGED
The measure of compatibility is not the years spent together
But how good you are to each other

To my friends who are.....MARRIED
Love is not about "it's your fault" but "i'm sorry"
Not where are you but i'm right here for you
Not how could you but i understand
Not i wish you were but i'm thankful you are

To my friends who are.... HEARTBROKEN
Hearbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go
The challenge is not how to survive heart breaks but to learn from them

To my friends who are..... NAIVE
How to be in love:
Be consistent but not persistent share and never be unfair understand and try not to demand and get hurt but never keep the grudge

To my friends who are..... Possessive
It breaks your heart to see the one you love Happy with someone else
But it's more painful to know that the one you love Is unhappy with you

To my friends who are.....AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone
It hurts even when someone breakup with you
But love hurts the most: When the person you love has no idea how you feel about him/her

To my friends who are.....STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be,
and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it.
If the person isn't worth it now, it's not going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now.

To All My Friends...........
My wish for you is a man/women whose love is: honest strong mature never changing protective encouraging rewarding and unselfish....

小百合 blowing kissess to......
you my love carried ever so gently 　　　
on the wings of dove i wish we were nearer though alas....
we are not but we will forever be one right here in my heart....
forget me not 小百合

I will always Love you
i don't need a special dayto express what my heart has to say
for cupid did not pierce my heart
you stole right from the start
if i don't express what i feel inside
then my day starts without sunrise
for everyday with you starts with a kiss
and i love you
for love is more than those three words
for our hearts to be heard
for those words cannot convey
what my heart has to say
so i will let my actions speak
each and everyday of the week
i don't need any gifts from you
to show that your love is true
all that i really want is to spend time
for your kissess are sweeter than wine...
i love you!!!!

Notification to public of my intent to blog again

I didn't blog for a long time because all I ever did was play World of Warcraft 24/7 since March 2005 til March or maybe even April 2006.

Warcraft is a very well designed game, and if a person has an escapist personality (or an addictive personality) they can spend lots of time playing it.

I am glad I am no longer playing wow, but now my life is really screwed up and I have to become a very busy person (like most people already are) in order to improve it and to get the things I want in life. That is, real things, not imaginary things in a video game. I was "very busy" in the world of warcraft, and I did acquire many, many things, but unfortunately they were imaginary things, that make no difference in the long term in this real world. I know from my succcess in the world of warcraft that I can succeed in the real world, since I am smart.

Since I am going to be busy with Real Life things, I will be blogging to keep people up to date with what I'm doing.

To my dearest who has left me

I want you to know that there is no woman I would ever have left you for.
