Well my last post has occupied the better part of this page for a bit too long, and a lot has changed so time for another long overdue update!
The biggest change in my life is that I now have a Job! YAY! YAY! WOOOOOOOOOO!
It’s a good Job!
Should I tell you all a little about it? Of course I should.
So a friend got me in to a computer support position for a large trading firm. I work an off shift of 3pm to 11pm- Sunday through Thursday. Which is awesome for my night owl mentality. I never over sleep, (it’s practically impossible to do when you have to wake up at 2PM to get to work on time) I have my Friday and Saturday nights totally free to party, which I have been doing fairly regularly, and even when I over do it on a Saturday night, I just have to drag my hung over ass to work by 3.
The commute to this place is also amazing, I can walk out my door at 2:20 to be at work by 3, and I catch an 11:30 bus and am usually home by 12. We are talking about a little over a 30 minute commute each way. Now that rocks HARD!
On to the job description! It is totally me, I am alone from 6-11 so I need to be a jack of all trades (luckily that’s what I excel at). My main job is watching the servers to make sure nothing goes wrong with them, when issues arise I have to connect to the servers and resolve the problems. While waiting for things to break I also support about 15 people between my office, Chicago and Hong Kong, so I wait for the phone to ring. If nothing breaks then I can sit there and watch TV! Now how much does that rule! I have my foot in the door in the financial industry and am learning about all sorts of trading technologies and software, which is interesting, challenging and will make me so much more employable in the future.
My manager is amazing, My coworkers are great and I am very happy with my salary. I am working with servers and learning new things. Overall I would be hard pressed to be happier working anywhere. After all they wouldn’t pay you for it if it wasn’t work.
In other news I am currently involved in an artistic endeavor which is coming nicely to fruition. Eschatone records is just about ready for business, and things are looking really promising with it. You can check out the myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/eschatone. The official website will be up and running soon. www.Eschatone.com.
I have to say it is great working with partners who are intelligent and hardworking, and not ignorant psychopaths who stab you in the back and steal from you (like one of my ex business partners and other people I have had business dealings with). We are all working together doing what we are good at with a common goal and it’s becoming a reality. It reminds me that there are good people to do business with in this world, and then there are the other scumbags out there who are only out for themselves. I am feeling optimistic about having weeded most of the manipulative bloodsuckers out of my life! But lets not contemplate the negatives!
I am really feeling pretty good about my life right now. Awesome job, Excellent friends, Fantastic apartment. After a string of not so great luck, it looks like I am on a roll now and everything is falling right into place.
I have a lot of other stuff in the works including the strong possibility of an upcoming bash at casa de Crazy Joe. But I will leave it at that for now, and state my earnest intention to post more often (which will probably be forgotten about).
Till next time!
