I actually have to get some dress pants, and shirts for work. As well as a new pair of shoes.

So I’m getting this. Over 1300 pieces! Exclusive to LEGO VIP members. Yes, you can buy it on eBay, but you’re paying at least $30 more than on the LEGO site. I even used my VIP points and got it for $69 with free shipping.

Its gonna be a fun build I think!

Since my date of employment is still confusing, (I told them I was fired on January 9th 2012, and the employment verification line says I left voluntarily in 2010) I was asked to bring my W2′s from 2010, and 2011.

For safety’s sake, I’m bringing in my W2′s from 2009, 2010, and 2011. Of course I have to bring in 2 forms of ID. I already have two forms of ID in my wallet (my green card and my drivers license), but I was looking at my passports, and really have noticed how much I’ve changed from when I got my first passport in 2001, and when I renewed it in 2010.

I put the iPhone on this little list mostly for shits and giggles, but I have always been intrigued with it. I’m 99% sure that I would never get it, but put it on there for the purpose of discussion.

What are your thoughts on these four phones?

Currently, Crystale and I have the HTC Hero. Its a great little phone, but for me, the screen is too small. The battery life is too short, and without rooting it, there’s not a lot of memory in it (128mb).

Hopefully the prices that you see will be the upgrade price, I don’t have the current upgrade prices as I’m not eligible for the prices yet.

So yeah, please give me your input, as I am not up on the phone technology these days.

It does feel bigger in here, but I’m not _too_ happy with where the TV is. I can’t remember if Crystal’s laptop monitor blocks the corner of the TV or not. So I may be moving things around after she goes to work in the morning.

I like it though, a little more room here now. And with both floor lamps in the living room, its a lot brighter in here. I managed to move everything without breaking any LEGO.

And its perfect for summer as we’re right under the fan again. We shouldn’t need a floor fan in here this year.

I think I want to try and make bow ties. Everyone needs a bow tie.

Crystal would have to teach me how to use a sewing machine.

I haven’t used a sewing machine since home economics class in fifth grade, when I made a sweatshirt, that fell part after the first wash.

So trying to sew on my own kinda worked. Half a bow tie, and it doesn’t really look like one.

I really have to print out an actual template and try again. The one I just sewed didn’t really look like a bow tie, but I’ll get better at it. I think a trip to a craft store is in order for this weekend.

I’m going to try my hardest to have at least one bow tie up for sale by the end of the weekend.

Below is the on that Crystal helped me make last night.

Google navigation sucks. It said my destination was about a 1 mile away from the actual destination. So I got a little lost, but ended up finding the place.

I’m so nervous that I couldn’t finish my lunch. NERVOUS.

I forgot to print out my resume and references on the way home, so I have to do that on the way to the place. Which means I have to leave even earlier than I was planning on. I know for a fact I’m going to get there way before I need too.

The interview email said that the interview will take about an hour. Which means after, I have to rush to get to +Crystal’s work. All at rush hour. Looking at the map, I should be able to get on Rt. 37 to 95 North. And of course it’ll be raining.

I’m so nervous that I couldn’t finish my lunch. NERVOUS.

I get to the place, and the office is empty. The flier didn’t have a time, it just said all day. I got there about 1pm. There’s one guy sitting, waiting. He’s not in business casual.

He’s in a pair of dirty jeans. And. A. Sweatshirt. A SWEATSHIRT.

Anyways. Details of the job;

Outside Sales.
For the first 3-4 months, it would be $2k a month, paid twice a month. After that, its 100% commission. That is too unsteady for me. Great benefits though. Like I told Crystal via text message after,

“If it was salary plus commission, I’d be ok with it.”

So I think if they call for another interview, I will say thanks, but no thanks.

I don’t need the stress of having to make my pay cheque from commission.

its that i had people counting on my trip to vegas. hell i was counting on the trip to vegas. infact we would’ve been fucked if my stock cheque came the week before, because the trip and hotel would’ve been booked. non-refundable like.

i guess i’m more feeling sorry for myself because i was so looking forward to going out there again. i mean planning had been started. drinks with some close friends. relaxing in the spa tub, and at the pools. just plain hanging out and being close to crystal.

i dunno. even without a job, i feel like i’ve let people down. i feel like i’ve let myself down. i don’t know why i’m so hooked on vegas. maybe because when we went in decemeber ’10 it was the first real vacation i’ve ever had. i’ve had vacations before, at home. traveled to see crystal for a week. never really been anywhere else. maybe i was just trying to re-capture some magic from our first trip.

again, so happy that my stock cheque didn’t come any sooner, or we’d have been vegas bound in june with no spending cash for food or anything.

small miracles i guess.

i am so very happy that i’m with crystal for all the problems. like she’s said before, “we’ll get through this. we always do.” and that’s why i love the shit out of her.

so monday i was let go from work. and by let go, i mean i was in my store managers office for 2 hours being grilled about something that i didn’t take. i wouldn’t say that they were threatning me, but i think it was getting pretty close to it. but for the most part they were pretty professional about everything. it happens just like in the movies or cop tv shows. in the interrogation room, basically asking the same question just worded differently. every time they asked the question (worded differently each time), i would answer back (differently each time). i would like to tell you that, i finally got fed up and said, “you can’t fire me, I QUIT.” but you know what, that thought never entered my mind. even when i was waiting for an escort to walk me back to my office to get my things, i was telling my store manager to make sure that he copy all my options over to my associate, so he could carry on with the job.

so tuesday was my first full day without employment in 9 years. i went crazy and applied for like 7 or 8 places online, and made a list of places that i wanted to go to in person. i’m doing good, i’m getting dressed every day still. yesterday i got dressed, did some laundry and some basic cleaning in the bedroom.

i think it was tuesday when i decided that i wanted to try and raise money to become an american citizen. i tried kickstarter, and they denied my application, so someone on google+ suggested a different website. so i went there and set up a page. its called the MAKE ME AMERICAN. its doing pretty good so far. but only seems to get new donations when i am constantly pushing it peoples faces. i’m not that type of person, so maybe once a week, i’m going to pimp myself out and post a link to it. i think it would be pretty cool if crowd sourcing helps me become an american.

so yeah. its raining. and i’m home. i’m truly going to try to get some housework done today. have lots of clothes to put away, and just some basic cleaning. plus i have no excuse. i have a laptop and wifi so i can movie my computer to whatever room i’m in.

everyone is telling me that my situation is probably a blessing. i wasn’t happy there for a while. in fact, it was pretty much a relief when i was let go. its just frustrating. yanno? i didn’t feel appreciated there. while i don’t mind repetitive jobs, i could tell you what i would be doing down to the second, because for the most part, the mornings were all exactly the same. i don’t miss the place, but i really do miss some people there.

yesterday, i had to do some running around. picking up applications to different places that i wanted to put some face time in. i had to stop at the super centre to get some cat litter and cereal and milk, actually parked next to my old store managers truck. i had no idea what he was doing there, but i made sure i was on the look out, because while i don’t want to avoid him, i have nothing to say to him. while i was sitting at lunch i saw him drive by.

almost every morning i would say that i wish i was at home. so much stuff to do at home. i’m home now, and all i want to do is sit my fat ass on the couch and just sit. i would always say i have such a list of stuff to do at home. well i still have this list of stuff to do. granted, its not a lot, its just some time consuming stuff.

alright, i should finish my cup of coffee, and try to tear myself off the couch and do some laundry, and put away clothes, and actually be of use around here.

wow, i can still be long winded when i want to huh?
