Foobar Studios

I’ve got a large gallery here of photos from the winterstorm. Feel free to spread the link to them!

 

I took a couple of photos on my way home from work. Well, one of them was a photo I took after I got home, and that’s the Hyundai logo picture. I took the other at the nursing home, after stopping to say hi to Granny.

 

So, I’m thinking about buying this here.

October 31st, 2008 (Halloween) Nashville, TN Show

In and of recent times, I have had a lack of time to really do any website design and development. I’ve posted a few random things I’ve come across while I’m at work, or get an email that includes such humorous things.  Needless to say, most of my time has been consumed by work, or by cleaning and fixing things in my apartment.

I would do more site development and such, if I happened to have any clients. Unfortunately, I do not. Spreading the word is hard in this small town, but I am determined to help create some competition around here, considering a certain company that does websites around here I don’t care for. They do most of their site programming and coding based on artistic design and layout.  Don’t take it wrongly, though. They do create some great site layouts, but what gets me is some of the extremely unnecessary coding that is taking place. It’s almost like they take a template, add what they need, then be done with it.

Hopefully this interview I had yesterday will spell out some good news for me. My current job is now in limbo. Working as a temporary laborer is difficult, but when that temporary agency loses their biggest contract to another company, and your job technically expires on February 2nd, it makes life even MORE difficult. I’m trying to decide whether I should go ahead and attempt to get hired on with this new company, or draw unemployment while waiting to hear from a certain local company to contact me back about a job. I really hope and PRAY that I get this job. It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to do. All the work that pertains to it, is exactly what I went to college for. Not only do I want the job, I am striving for it!

Getting hired with that job will answer some of my prayers. Whether people believe me or not, I have been working EXTREMELY hard at finding a job that requires the knowledge that I have acquired through schooling. I didn’t work that hard to be relegated to a job that has no benefits, little pay, and absolutely no room to move up. Seemingly, I may be finally reaching a point where I am no longer “spinning my wheels”.

Ok, that’s enough of my rambling. Have a good night.

I came across this here. Here are some pictures from it, below:

 

Now that 2008 is almost over, I’ m starting to look back on it.  The year has been exceedingly difficult, and yet, there have been some pleasant moments.

Some pleasant moments:

• Gigantour 2008 in Louisville with Matt, Greyson, and Bob.
• Breaking Benjamin and Seether in Evansville.
• Nine Inch Nails in Nashville on Halloween with Duane, Russel, Lisa, and Mat.
• Actually getting my site sort of up and running.
• Talking to an absolutely amazing and wonderful girl, yet still VERY confused as to what may happen.
• Still having a job.
• Food.
• Having 3 wonderful nieces to play with and make smile.

This last week has been stressful and strenuous. It’s been so busy that I haven’t even had a chance to write in this or work on the site.

Most of this week, my thoughts have been lost among a few places. Last Wednesday, I had an interview for a great job. I thought it went well, but it seems that when something feels right, I turn out to be wrong. I’m feeling more and more like I blew it. This possible job has been one of the FEW things I’ve been excited about in a long time. You know, that’s interesting. I used to get excited for every little thing. A short phone call from a potential employer used to get me pumped; now, not so much. It didn’t even have to be a call to come in for an interview.

There is so much going on, it’s impossible for me to be anything but unenthused by so many things. A shame, really.

In any case, I’m hoping and praying I get a CAREER started soon. These bills are killing me.
