50,000 people used to live here

I seem to be caught in a schedule of only updating once every two weeks. Don't know what that's all about. So I got a call back from that interview I had and they just want me to do freelance work for them. What that basically means is that I'll do work for them from home, and just submit everything online. They said they have a lot of work to do, but I haven't heard a word from them since they called me about it two weeks ago. I also pretty much don't have a job here in IF anymore because my boss apparently doesn't care enough about his business to stay in touch with his employees. He never answers his phone when I call him and I can't leave messages either. So yeah, that sucks.



Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica starts on Friday night and I am SOOOOO stoked. If you haven't watched this show yet, you absolutely have to. It's easily the best TV show I've ever seen. The production values are as good as a big budget Hollywood movie and the writing, oh, the writing. It's absolutely amazing. The thing that most impresses me about it is the fact that it doesn't beat you over the head with the science fiction setting. It uses the setting to tell stories about the people. Which isn't to say that the setting isn't necessary, because it 100% is. But it largely serves as a vehicle through which the story is told. Anyway, I can't recommend it enough.

Stickshifts and Safety Belts

I actually don't know how to drive stick very well. I want to get a car that is stick so I can learn. I was going to last summer but then all sorts of crazy ish hit the fan, and, well, I didn't. I do, however, always wear my seatbelt. Safety first, kids. Anyway, I'm currently in Utah for a day or two because I have an interview in Provo this afternoon. I found something whilst searching on the intarwebz for employment. They responded in about 2 days, which I was pleasantly surprised at. The company is called Heritage Web Solutions. They do website hosting and design and such. They need a staff writer, and I can only assume (careful...) that I would be writing about their services. So it'll be interesting, but either way, I'm super stoked. I need to get away from Idaho Falls again, and no offense to everyone living there, hopefully for good. There's nothing for me there, career-wise. Anyway, I'll update this tonight after the interview.


UPDATE: To be honest, there's not much to update. I took some typing tests, then some writing tests. Those are what took the bulk of the time. After that, I had a somewhat rushed interview. The girl who interviewed me, besides probably being younger than me, talked really fast the whole time. She kind of just fired off questions and waited for me to respond so she could write down my responses, but didn't really follow up on any of them. I guess that's what happens when your interview is finishing up right at 5:00 and people want to go the hell home. So it was kind of hard to get a read on what she was thinking, but she may not even really have anything to do with the hiring. Who knows?


And just for good measure, some more pictures of my awesome little brother.

Summer Sales

Some friends of mine from college have been doing summer sales for pretty much the entire time I've known them. They've been trying to get me to go with them for years, but I've always had something come up at the last minute that prevented me from going. Well, this year, it looks like I'm actually going to end up going. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It would be a LONG summer (April through September, possibly October) and I guess I'm still nervous about knocking doors again. That was one thing I hated on my mission. Knocking doors is not fun. BUT! Guess what I'm doing today? Going to Pocatello to knock doors. The excitement is starting to melt my face. Did I say excitement? I meant anxiety. I mean, I want to go, I'd be with friends, it would be a great experience, but there's still something that unsettles me.
