Show’s over… go home! 01 April 2007 at 7:42 pm by Jason 81 views

Show part deux was just as tiring as part 1, except we had the added bonus of “tear down”. As the saying goes, what must go up must come down… and down it came. The entire show (booths, product and all) was torn down, boxed up, and shipped out in just a couple hours. It’s crazy to see people go at it, but as I was told, for most of them this wasn’t their first rodeo and they had it down to a science. Crazy stuff.

Anyway, it’s time for me to rest my poor feet before I have to go back to work tomorrow… now I know why people cringe when someone mentions that show weekend is coming up. :P



+ Out of work… By Jason 24 March 2006 at 7:43 pm 180 views 9 Comments

Well, it’s official. I’m out of a job. As of this morning, our company was denied money for operating. Nice. It seems the banks just got greedy, and decided they deserved the money more. Cool, maybe they’ll let me stay with them when I can’t pay my rent.

Anyway, this weekend will be spent sending out resumes and trying not to think about what can happen. If you wanna contribute, you can send me a donation (thanks to those that do), but it’s pretty much all I can ask. If you wanna donate, click below:

– THANKS FOR DONATING! WE NOW HAVE ENOUGH FOR OUR BILLS! –

Thanks again. Also, I’ll try to get my new theme and such finished this weekend… not like I can go out anywhere. :( Oh well… sorry to be such a downer… I’ll be happier next post, I promise!

Well I’m back at work after the Labor Day weekend, and man, I sure hate computers! Why? Well it’s simple, they make it their job to upset me. Let’s look at the facts:

1. I spent over 10 hours trying to fix up an old PC to run DOS on it. It refused to get video, and when it suddenly did, it refused to see the CDROM or Hard Drive. What fixed it, after 10 hours? Who knows. It just suddenly decided to work. It’s been working like a champ for three days now.2. I was testing a motherboard I had in my closet, and everything looked fine. I placed my spare AthlonXP 1800 inside, and poof… burnt cpu. Nice, I have a cpu destroying motherboard.

3. At work I’ve been fighting with a computer that is going to be used for a new employee tomorrow. Out of the blue it decided it needs a nap of about 40 minutes or so before starting. What’s wrong? Who knows. The CPU isn’t touched, neither is the RAM or Hard Drive. It just sits there, looking at me. I’ve tried all but a format, and it still does it.

So there’s three examples of why computers hate me. I’m sure I could think of more if I tried. Anyway, onto the good stuff. I have a new favorite vodka! Yep! Chopin Vodka, awesome stuff. It’s the smoothest vodka I’ve ever had, and the first I’ve ever been able to sip by itself without wondering if it wasn’t vodka, but a very clear diesel fuel. Will I find one better than Chopin? We shall see. Jess and I plan to do a vodka blind taste test in the near future, so expect the results to be posted. :)
