Everyone one is getting laid off on their jobs. Lucky me I finally got out of temp situtation with my job. ANYWAY. The best thing you can do right now if find something different. Or go to school. Some people get jobs in school as a student. You may qualify for a grant or something. SO keep that in mind. I say go for the move. See what it's like. LIke I said before you're ither going to LOVE IT or HATE IT.

Figured I might as well post something here for those of you who are interested

Today is my first day off of many. As of last night I am officially laid off from work. I was told that there is a small chance of me being called back in in the next few weeks, but im not going to hold my breath on it.

Due to the lay off I have been thinking of many different options I could take. One of the major ones is maybe moving off to Colorado with my dad for a few months. From what ive heard the job market seems to be a little better out there, plus it will give me a chance to see my dad and get to know that side of the family. Big move I know, but you got to do what you got to do sometimes.


Any advice on the job situation? lol.

So after having a awesome weekend for once, I get a call from my boss telling me I dont have to show back up to work until monday, so that's 5 days that I will be missing on this pay period, to top it all off im put back down to full time relief which means that I get a 2 dollar an hour pay cut along with being on the bottom of the totem poll. Yay me

On a side note, ive been getting letters from the army.. I might be going down and talking to them soon.

So, I have the interview. Then the next day I was delightfully informed that there will be lay-offs on the 18th. In between 21 and 28 people to be exact. They yesterday I had a UA. So blah... haha

GTEDIT: I just got a txt message from a co-worker that worked today (im off monday's and tuesdays) and was told that they posted exact information about the lay-offs. there is going to be 30 total layoffs and there downsizing some of the dryers run-time. So it's going to be a close call in the long run.

Most definitely. Which btw I still need to get in touch with you about that Road Trip you had planned awhile back. Remember?

Glad to see you are still doing good, I notice from time to time you would IM me to check out the goods, and i'm glad you did. You need to be online more and IM me sometime or another.

Also, Goat is going to build me a computer that is a Nerdy American's wet dream, 80% of the parts are imported and compatible with Windows and Lynux (sp?). So whenever I get that done, you and I should play a match on whatever game of your choice. Just so long as its not an MMORPG, BezerkMS already has that down for me.

Im me, Call me, whatever. Ask One shot for my number and just ask for you know who. (Anthony)

On a side/update not thingy. I just had a interview yesterday for a job at work that I applied for a few weeks ago and kinda forgot about.

It's the Electricians Apprenticeship Program. So meaning if I get the job I will be going to school for 4 years for free and getting a few dollar raise. Im sitting at 17.20/hour right now. If I get it I will go up to in between 19.75/hour to 21.50/hour. Im really hoping for this job.. it would be really nice to get that little bit extra income a month for gas and everything else when I get a car.

Also I did my first Car Audio install the other day in about a year or so. It might have just been a simple Pioneer deck install, but I still got 20 bucks for working for less than an hour

Update on my new car:

So far i have it paid down to just over 2500 bucks out of the original 5200. After the 10th when I get paid I should have it down to just over 2 grand. Hopefully I will have it by end of august sometime.

For those of you who dont know what it is. It's a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. it's not the GT, Turboed or anything like that. It's completely bone stock. That means I get to do some work on it i havnt been this giddy in years >.>

but yea, it's kinda nice to putting up with the friends.. but also it kinda sucks at the same time because I dont really have many people to hang out with anymore.


I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one that really wants to see where my roots are... You're either going to love it or hate it. *hugs* I'm glad to see you're okay. STAY IN TOUCH DAMMIT. I don't care if people try to impress me or not. I don't care. You're you and that's what makes you awesome.

It's kinda hard to explain, like you just weren't "you" at the moment.



Yea, ive just had a lot of stuff on my mind over the last few months. The last time we hung out was I think when you helped me move. So that was probably just after the shit went down with someone

Let me be honest, the last few times we hung out, I kinda felt that Geoff just wasn't Geoff. I just have that kind of intuition, I guess. I'm glad that you have everything (mostly) straightened out and I look forward to seeing the new (old) Geoff again!

I dunno who you are, but congrats. The BIGGEST step to moving forward is realizing why you were where you were. Most of the time, it's due to the people that you hang out with. The fact that you realized this, and moved on means you are better than them. So many times I've been trying to get people to realize that their friends are worthless people who have no goals in life, and are content with bringing others down so they feel good about their life. congrats

Well, a lot of you that care are probably wondering how im doing. So ive decided to post up a really quick update so you know.

Im doing really good at the moment. Even though I was screwed over hard core with the whole Neon thing im making the best of it.

I dont have a car so im riding my bike/walking to work. Even though it's hard i am really starting to enjoy it. I can already feel my body adjust and get stronger from it. Due to this I have officially quit smoking for good. Getting off my back at work/ at home and not being able to breath to well have really helped me make this decision.

My hair is starting to grow back out, in a few days I will probably cut thet mohawk off and go for a new style. Im sorry to all of those out there that liked it so much. It's just that ive sported it for so long and for those few different colors that it's just gotten old and really annoying to keep up, especially in my current situation.

Over the last few months ive lost some really close friends, im not going to mention names because there's been more than one. But in the end im extremely glad that I did. For two reasons

1: Hanging with those certain people was just holding me back as far as exelling and doing something with my life. They were basically just stuck in a rut and didnt want to do anything with there lives but sit around and not work for anything. Ive heard that they are doing better and things. So I wish those people luck and hope that there work is well worth it.

2: Ive come to realize that I was living my life solely to to be and impress some people. I was being someone that I truelly wasnt just because I was, how should I put it? obsesive? over them and thought they were the best thing in the world.

I dont know, that last reason I could put more into but i choose not to, only because I have to put more thinking into it and get my wording right.

So ive come to terms with a lot of things. I have a few crushes, but I doubt they know it or care. In wich is ok. I just wish I could find someone I can be close to without being totattly fucked over in the end.... but hey.. that's life right?

This coming Christmas I will be going on a little vacation out to Colorado. I still need to get my days off accepted by work. But if I do it soon I dont have to worry about not getting them. Soon after touching down in Colorado I will be living a dream that ive had since being a little kid. Meeting my biological father "Mike Martin" for the first time along with all my (what is it) 3 little sisters and a younger brother? yea.. that should be a blast.

So I guess I could say im not "Happy" but im definitly doing better.

so tell me what you think... I could really use some constructive critisism

sorry if my grammer is off.. I'm doing some deep thinking while typing this up and it's not really on the top of my "To-Do List"..


oh and I ordered a new shirt and sticker from SikWorld today. but the images wont work for some reason >.<
