I've been playing with the pandas.
I had my one year review with my job yesterday. I was given a 2 dollar an hour wage increase. They like my performance at work so I get more moneyz! I'm glad they don't pussy foot around with wage increases. Non of this 50 cent increase crap. 2 bucks is huge!

No, just nothing going on. Boards have pretty much died. The majority of us are friends on facebook, and converse there somewhat. Caller and I speak through AIM. So, the boards aren't getting much use.

I don't get on the internet too much anymore, or at least not browsing. Sometimes I get on AIM, but I try to update on Facebook but not much. You know my name, look me up.

Ugh, losing my job was both the best thing and worst thing at the same time though I don't really regret it, since I'm hearing nothing but bad things about the company these days. But jesus, unemployment is ridiculously complicated. They sent me a 30 page handbook full of rules and eligibility requirements and a lot of it goes right over my head and they make you sign up for so much shit my head spins.
I'd seriously love to know how people abuse this to the point that these rules are necessary.
I have to file a claim every two weeks and apply for two jobs every week on their website, though the past two weeks no jobs were available so I hope that doesn't count against me. Haven't really been able to work anywhere with my mother's radiation/chemo schedule but it worked out since no one called me anyway.
God I hope I don't have to go crawling back to the company but I didn't burn any bridges so the opportunity is there...if I have to...

Um so funny story. I applied for that promotion back in October. Well Bryce beat me and got the spot. Not big deal I know he will do really well.
So last week this new position opened. Brand new with the company not much is known about it. So I figured what the hell I'll go for it. Turns out it's basically a system administrator position which is what I did at my last job. And I was chosen. So I'm glad I don't get the first spot because this is an even better spot. And with my raise I make as much as Bryce does with his raise.

Happy birthday, Ryan! Christ, man. You keep getting older and older. What the hell. Things are going pretty well with my job. Since my two buck raise I have been given more responsibilities and a ton more work added to my plate. I'm loving it though. Its pretty fulfilling knowing that the guys upstairs on the chain trust and depend on me. I want to move up with this company eventually. While my position is important it kinda feels like the shitty end of the stick in many ways. Its inventory control so my job is making sure that all the stock and material is accounted for, organized and in its propor home so other people, who need to build a valve, will find what they need with ease. In other words, my job is to make it easier for other people to do their job. It is important, and I do like it, but eventually I want to get my hands dirty with the assembly of the valves. I have talked to the boss about it and he did say I could get in there once things slow down. We'll see how that goes. The girlfriend situation, or lack there of, has not changed. I have not given up but I'm coming to the conclusion that this shit obviously just isn't for me. I'm trying less and less and not allowing myself to get stressed out over it. In short, I've been happy lately and life is jafty.

Glad to hear things are going so well at your job, Norfy. And congrats on both of your promotions, Andrew and Bryce. As I've said before, wimmens up in Canada be crazy to ignore you. Norfykins. You're a stud, and a wonderful person, so I dunno what the hell is wrong with the women up there. If I lived up there, you'd have to pry me off of you with a crow bar. Things are sorta shitty here. My depression is still severe, suicidal thoughts again, though mind you, as long as I have family and friends I will not do such a thing. However those thoughts will continue to pester me when the depression gets really bad. Another major sign of the depression is that I'm having a major feeling of "I just don't care" about pretty much everything. Life in general. I'm still trying to adjust my medications, all my meds have been cranked up to maximum dosages. Granny is in a pissy mood today as well so that's not helping. I'm just now recovering from a nasty stomach illness that lasted almost a full month. I had a stomach virus that turned my stomach upside down, filled my stomach full of acid, and caused a lot of pain. We couldn't figure out what was wrong, finally the doctor gave me some Zantac that slowly cleared it up. That was nasty, and I'm glad it's over with. Anyways... things could be better here. Psst Norfy. Seriously, sign up for Facebook. Even if you just add us people here on the boards as your friends, you can keep in contact with us better probably. We share tons of pics and links and other crap there, you're missing out. It's Me, Caller, Dej, and Kik pretty much, though it's mostly just me and Caller chattering about Skyrim right now.

I'm 32! Andrew is right. 30 is nothing. It actually feels like you're still in your 20s. Maybe I'll start feeling my age when I hit 40... Anyway, Thanksgiving was great. Dad cooked an excellent meal & I played the Harvest Festival on Animal Crossing Wii. Still, is this year over yet? I'm looking forward to 2013!
