New Job Looms on Horizon

Now does it have to loom?  For that matter I don't even like looms - or fruits there of.  Yet there it is, just sitting there ... on the horizon and all.  Jeez, I don't know what to do with it, but I am sure that I will find something.  Sorry for that incoherent ramble, but I did promise one of those once in a while, now on to the real reason I am posting this message.

The first time that I talked with my new Mother-In-Law (MIL? maybe...) she said that the company that she works for (Meeks, a lumber store) is looking for a new computer person to oversee their computers at the local store as well as a secondary store that is in the area.  With rapid action I had filled out an application and have all ready been called in for a interview.  Well, called in is more of a term than reality.  I had to call the guy that "wanted to talk to me" repeatedly until he finally answered his cell phone this afternoon.  He set me up with an interview tomorrow morning - 7:30 AM.  Now while I am typically awake by this time every morning, I didn't plan on being functional until about 8 - 8:30.  Tomorrow should be interesting, I'll have to take a shower and put on some clothes that have a minimal number of wrinkles in them (for those of you not in the know, I haven't owned an iron for many many months).

The primary reason that I am trying to get this job is because my creativity is rather stunted at my current job (CMS, no link this time asshats! [that would be for my bosses, not you the reader]).  I can't seem to get motivated to do anything creative and I don't know if this is because they have been stunting me from the get-go or if I am simply stagnating with the hideous lack of management.  Today for example, I completed working on a simple yet pointless advertisement that will probably never see the light of day, now how is that for upbeat?  For those of you that are new to my blog, I will rant a little more about the CD & website, you can safely ignore the rest of this paragraph.  Another thing that seems to hinder my creativity is when I complete a project from above there is no appreciation for my labor.  All that I really ask for is a "thank you", "good job", "looks good", or even a "fix this, this and this and it will be great", but do I get any of those?  Not a bloody chance in hell.  All I get from the General Manager is a "I'll take a look at this when I get a chance" and then he proceeds to go on vacation every other week for at least 3 days!  Shit, I just wish that I could have a little respect for something that I do at work, but I guess that would be asking too much.  Nuff said for now.

I don't know if my new job will give me more creativity and thanks for my work, but it should definitly give me more work to do.  Today I managed to ring up no more than 5 dozen transactions, finish the advertisement, push some paper around my desk, take no more than 6 dozen calls, and surf the list of recently updated blogs for several hours.  My how time crawls when you have nothing to do, but I guess it pays ($11 an hour).  Which brings me to another tidbit of information that I would like to know: wasn't it against the blogger rules to post pornographic materials on a blog hosted a blogspot?  I could swear that it was, but don't know for sure.  The reason that I wonder is because I have found an abundance of porn blogs such as Lesbian-Tit, don't ask me - really, I don't know.  All that I know is that it was on the list of recently updated blogs and I stumbled upon it.
I'll leave you with that thought for now,
  ~ Mr. Me ~
