Commmmmmmute!

Today’s commute = 3.5 hours… Total time in my car today: 6.5 hours. Total Miles driven = 145.

I took me 2.5 hours to get from SM back to AV today. It only took me an hour this morning to get from AV up to SM. This is insane, fucking LA traffic! Stupid drivers! I’m carpooling tomorrow with someone, thank god! I’m hoping I can get an apartment close enough to work that I can walk/bike or get a scooter.. Go Vespa!

Looked at 10 places today. Only 3 of them are worth considering. 2 of them don’t have any parking (Street only) and the last one is a small studio for $1300.. Way too much. Lots of stuff is coming avaliable in Westwood (omg, hot boys!)

I got news today. I _AM_ for 100% sure moving to Santa Monica. But not in the capacity I wanted/was hoping for. The idiot PM gave the job to some one else. (Apparently a bad move acording to my sources). They purchased me a new computer today, to satisfy my annoyance. And also guaranteed a pay increase equivalent to cost of living increase. I just have to call and OK the cost of living before signing the lease. I’m going to schedule a meeting with the CEO/VP’s early Friday morning to discuss my role in the company. As I’ve got a feeling it’s not really thought out too well, and I want to be sure there’s a place for me before making this move. Altough the VP’s have both expressed high regard for my work, it just feels like they aren’t sure where to place me long term.

I really want a roommate. Someone, anyone?! Robert and I are spending the whole day Friday up in SM/WeHo/Valley. I will sign a lease that day. I hope… ::crosses fingers::

I’ve been getting a feeling that Dustin is avoiding me… though he did call today to confirm we were still on for Friday. So I guess that’s a good sign.

Adios.

A Day Without Immigrants…

On the fucking roads!

Warning: Extremely racist comments following:

Sooo. Yesterday, I traveled from Aliso to Anahiem in 20 minutes… DURING RUSH HOUR! Normally during this time, the 5 basically comes to a STOP starting at Jamboree, yesterday, however, it was clear all the way till I got PAST the 55. This is a HUGE thing. I say it’s because all the immigrants weren’t on the roads. haha. I’m sorry, but I don’t see what all the fuss is about, seriously these people are here illegally, thus they should be treated as such. In my opinion they already get WAY too much out of our tax dollars.

Ok, so yesterday was pretty good. Did random work, and spent a lot of time looking for apartments. Things there are really stressing me out. I’ll be spending Wed, Thur, Fri up in Santa Monica looking for places. Hopefully I can find SOMETHING. I’m really starting to think I might have to rid myself of the cats as well, it’s so HARD to find places that accept them up in LA. Why do landlords HATE pets so much?! I don’t understand. 🙁 They just get MORE MONEY out of you for them!

Spent last night with Dustin, met up with him at 6 and went and got food and then watched The Majestic with Jim Carrey. He was actually pretty good in it too, which was surprising. I went home about 10ish. I was doing a little over 85 on the way back home and this motorcycle guy went FLYING past me, he had to have been doing 95+. Then like a 10 seconds later this moto-cop went flying past me as well with his lights and shit on. I wonder what a ticket for 30 over costs?

Anyways, today is more of the same. Apartment hunting, stressing and all that shit. Ugh!

Adios!

Scary Calls

So… I was sitting in my office minding my own business today.. When all of a sudden I get this phone call from an unknown 515 number. So I quick like googled it and found that it was coming from my bank. So I answered it.

Long story short, apparently Visa notified them of suspicious activity on my credit card and they are cancelling it and sending me a new one effective today. Umm, HELLO? How am I supposed to get money then? I won’t have my new card for a week they said. How annoying. Thankfully I have other bank accounts I can draw from, but this is my spending account.

And WTF? I still have my card, and I haven’t seen anything wierd on my statements lately and I check them daily. They wouldn’t really give any specifics either. Very strange. I wonder how many other people Principal called?

Anyways, then on my way home from work I got a call from this company in Lawrence, KS with an Systems Integration Specialist position, it sounded pretty cool. You travel the US for 3 weeks a month and then get a week off. She decided to just do the first interview right there, I think I mighta blew it cause I so wasn’t prepared. But whatever. We’ll see what happens.

I’m thinking of going to a subscriber’s only format for my blog.. Sadly all the plugins I’ve found of that require Database changes, and I like to keep a virgin DB, after the hell I went through upgrading from b2 to wp with my fucked up DB. So I might have to write my own plugin for that.

Have I been a bit too geeky here lately?

Adios.
