I got a JOB?!
That's the way it seems. Within a day, I am expecting a confirmation email to which I should accept in order to start work for Geek Squad as an Advanced Repair Agent. I will be working in Bowie, MD; so if you're in the area, you might want to say HI! Take note, I should be employed part-time, meaning I hope to not work a 40 hour week. While this would mean building up my funds won't be as fast (thus not earning my new computer as soon), it means my weekly schedule shouldn't be enslaved to revolve around my job. This is a liberating feeling. Plus, I am relieved of the burdens and woes that would come with field work!

Just give me a permanent lover as well as eternal glory from my awesomeness, and I swear I have it made. At that rate, I'd be set for life!

And then I see journals like this:
Hope dies last...... that's usually the motto I live with, but what if there is no room for hope anymore?
I never really have asked for much. I don't need fancy cars, expensive jewelry, awesome holidays or anything like that. I don't even ask for kids or a boyfriend/husband. All I want it to be able to pay my bills, be able to afford some hobbies and to stay at this place. But even that seems to be too much.
When everything you do just seems to be a failure and you feel like a burden for the people around you, it's hard to not just give up.
Right now I have an estimate of costs for a medical treatment laying next to me that is worth half a new car. There is a slight chance that my insurance will pay for it, but if not I have no idea what to do with that. Probably ignoring it all, not going to let it be done and just hoping (haha) for the best.
I am just tired of it all and maybe need to rethink everything in my life. Becoming a freelancer was never a dream, but a chance to get further. Maybe I and ever


This makes me really think, "Gee, I sure have it made! I'm all nice and comfy in my parents' house, where Dad has the bills covered and Mom has all the chores underhand." Welp, I have a robust list of good causes I want to support (one of them I already did!). However, I feel that I need to establish myself more solidly and help myself before I can help others too much.

AS for streaming, I have a good feeling my default schedule will grow disrupted in the future. As for this week, since it's all about setup and getting me acclimated with the confirmation and the needed drug tests, I won't be working this weekend. That means my former plans for this week will go unchanged (so see previous journal for details).

6PM Eastern Time on Friday, September 26 and 12:30PM Eastern Time on Saturday, September 27. Find me at twitch.tv/supergoldenknight

About my third book...Progress has been painfully slow, but I have done a significant amount of work on the cover. Now, I am trying to design my own title lettering from scratch! I figured if it's going to be iconic one day, I need an awesome and unique logo to stand out as my own, particularly should I one day achieve my own Wikipedia page! I don't mean any "insert-name.wiki" sponsored by bullying; I mean THE official Wikipedia!

Now then, I have streaming to prepare for as well as my comic book to R&D and a formal part-time job to standby for. So, I'm going to be busy! I hope you have as much fortune as this!

Isn't this basically his last tech support job? I'm curious what he expects to go differently this time.

He was a field tech last time, and Jay hates driving and new environments.
This time he's going to be based in one place, and work fewer hours.
I expect, though, that he'll probably still be slow at the work and may well not get on with his colleagues.

His lazy ass couldn't handle fixing like 5 computers a day at a regular job, and now he's going into a slightly more advanced job? And whys he so eager to get a job when he flat out brags about letting his dad pay the bills and his elderly mother do all the house work?

I feel the overwhelming urge to give Jay a wedgie and stuff him in a locker.

I feel like doing worse to him - I could use a job like that (full time once I'm out of school, that is - it would have to be part time, otherwise, just so I don't fuck up in school, after all...), if only to get better (PERIOD!) at the career field I'm entering into, which is computer science / information systems...

I know some people have better luck than others, but knowing this guy - something does not sit right with me here about all of this...

Yeah, Geek Squad, the last refuge of the incompetent computer techs.

They go by means of a script, need to run "their own" diagnostics which from what I understand is 3rd party stuff and will "optimize" your system by doing a registry sweep, defrag and chkdsk. All for the incredible price of $69.99. What a deal!

Full list of their "services" found here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/compute...es/pcmcat252500050032.c?id=pcmcat252500050032
