I’d like to say that I’m pretty sane and lacking any kind of mental illnesses, but I have come to the conclusion that I have an obsessive compulsive disorder with alarm clocks. Every night before I go to sleep, I will set three alarm clocks for the same time. You know, in case one doesn’t go off, two others are there for backup. Or in case I didn’t turn one or two of them on.

Not only that but the process of how I go about setting the alarm. I’ll set the time, then turn the alarm on/off several times to ensure I have it for set for the AM time and that it’s on, and will work. One alarm clock is by my computer, another is by my bed, and the last one is my cell phone.

After this morning I just sat there thinking “Wow, I have an issue with alarm clocks. I am definitely OCD.” But I don’t really mind this, because I’d rather not fuck up my alarm and NOT wake up–oh wait, like this morning.

I didn’t go through that process last night for some reason (first time ever) and had only set my alarm clock on my cellphone. I checked, double-checked and triple checked it. When I woke up, I shot out of bed, looked at the clock by my computer, and saw that it was 10:05am. I was supposed to be at work at 9:45am. So I panic, and fumble with my cellphone trying to call work, while trying not to sound like I’m about to cry. Told the opening MOD I slept through my alarm, and would be into work asap.

Generally I don’t worry about getting written up becuase in most jobs–I never do. But twice in February while I was carless, I had gotten written up, so that meant anything else past that would result in me being terminated. Well, I get to work and I’m stressing out, hands shaking, waiting to get canned. It never came, and apparently I was off the hook.

Moral of the story:  It’s okay to be OCD with checking the alarm clocks 10 or more times to see that they’re set for the correct time, and hopefully will turn on.

I’m currently working on the design here for aow, so if you notice anything fishy happening while you’re looking at one page, and another, that’s my doing. I’ve also gone on a plugin adding rampage. Tonight I really had the motiviation to work on my site, and actually get some “content” up perse. I love wordpess, but I was also missing phpnuke, for the soul purpose of member integration and whathave you. Well, once I get the theme completely tweaked, you’ll be able to see what I’ve been working on :)

Also, I turn twenty today. It’s going to be like any other day, but I don’t mind it too much. I just hope that Chris remembers to bring home the chocolate cake mix from Target after he gets off of work. If I’m up in time I’d definitely enjoy going to the China Buffet, because I love their crab rangoons, California Rolls, pasta salad, and their rendition of General Tso’s Chicken.

Time to go back to slaving away behind the scenes, and enjoy staying up late because I have today off as well as having Sunday off :P

Work has been work. I don’t know why I’m not satisfied with it anymore. I think it’s the fact that I work alot, do alot for the company, and I get paid balls. I’ve been looking around our JOS system and noticed that they’re going to be building a new service center through Geek Squad, called Geek Squad City.

Apparently it’s going to be the main service center for the store (Best Buy).They’re doing an ungodly amount of hiring and I think I might actually go for it. But that won’t be until July’ish when it opens (I assume) because the last day to turn in JOS applications is June 24th I believe. For the time being I’m going to try to apply to work full time at Insight for Tech Support, and if I get that job, try JOS’ing into Geek Squad to go Counter Ops. That way I get a hang out the entire GS system and whatnot.

Either way I definitely want to stay with Best Buy/Geek Squad just becuase I honestly love working for this company, and want to stay with them.It also helps out for the future because it’ll make moving easier, since I’d be able to transfer into another Best Buy. Whereas most places are not going to have Insight to transfer into. Not only that but if I go ahead with the Counter Ops position, I’ll have Mobile/PCHO/Geek Squad as departments I’ve worked in and am knowledgable in.

Holdfire has been doing pretty good. I need to promote more of it to generate more business, but for now it’s done pretty good. The server move went well, thanks to Rem helping out with alot of it. If it weren’t for him, I’d still be overpaying for my services, and not really making much from the job. Thanks again Rem :)
