The Merc248

Okay, I'm getting a bit annoyed at updating a number of blogs... so I'll just direct you guys to my Xanga page that I've been updating for a while.

Alright... time to prepare for the eight hour night shift crucible. Since I fucked up last Tuesday and since someone wanted someone to cover for them for the night, I'll have to stay at the help desk from 1:00 PM until 9:00 PM. Doh. I'll bring my guitar along with me and see if I can serenade myself to goodness while sitting on my ass doing nothing.

Oh yeah... I'm finally going to be a college radio DJ. :D Good shit this will be. More details later. And... I also did a preliminary interview for the tutoring position. Can't wait for that to start... so I don't have to go through purgatory nearly every day in the form of answering hellish phone calls. :p

So yeah... that's all to report.

Man, I think I fucked up. ;p

I didn't go to work today due to not signing my forms and whatnot... so yeah, I just stayed home and slept. Apparantly, the forms take less than five minutes to process, so I could've went to work anyway. Then I also left a message on my supreme boss' voicemail, saying that I will probably be switching jobs (which I will, I'm probably going to tutor instead.) So yeah, I don't think they're all too happy now. ;x

Oh well... I need to study for midterms.

Well... it was my first time at a club house concert event. Fireball Ministry, Pelican, and Opeth were playing at the El Corazon last night. Jesus man, what an experience that was... I nearly got sucked into the mosh pit that formed while Opeth was playing. ;p And I didn't imagine the bands being THAT close from the entrance.

But yeah, it was amazing. I especially liked Pelican's performance; their music really got me into the mood.

FUCK

Today the Office of Student Financial Services received your Student Employment Action Form (SEAF) for the Student Help Desk Technician position with OIT. We did not collect your Form I-9 or Form W-4. According to Federal Regulation, all new hire work must be completed within three days of your start date. Your SEAF reflects that you began working on 09/17/05. This must be resolved no later than today in order for you to continue working on-campus. You may resume working on-campus once all hire work is turned in.

FUCK

SNAKES... ON A PLANE!

Sweet... got most of my UW transfer application filled out. I just need to write the damn personal statement essay. ;x

Good thing is that the UW threw the entire academic index out of the window; thus, they do a more holistic look at a person's application versus judging their ability based purely on GPA, SATs, and extracurriculars (for instance, someone with a subpar GPA with a lot of extracurriculars would get a much higher index than someone with a good GPA). So yeah, hopefully that helps a bit.

Here's hoping I DO get in this time around.

As long as I study what I'm most passionate about, there will inevitably be snap judgments that will never benefit anyone.

People seem to care too much about me being a "computer nerd" and ignore every other damn thing about me.

Bah. I extend my hand too far sometimes...

Woot. Finally got a damned cell phone.

The phone kinda sucks, but eh, I can't really complain: I'm only paying $10 per month under the family plan, plus I got this phone for free. ;p I might save up to get a new phone later in the future.

I hope something slaps me in the face and tells me that a relationship is not the key to happiness. Hopefully I'm all wrong about this. Maybe I'm going way too fast into this and I should definitely wait until after college... but cripes, it's killing me.

Only bad thing is that I'm too shy to really do anything about it. :x
