No this isnt a request for my small readership to grade me. This is my blog and i will do with it what i wish.
Today marks my 4 month anniversary with my current employer. I have heard rumors of monthly reports on how well we work trouble tickets. I have even hear that they used to do these weekly but the monthly ones were easier for the department that does the scoring. I have also heard that they are a little backed up. But that is all that i have heard. I have no clue as to how i am doing here.
I know i am doing horrible because no one in management has said anything to me. I know i am not doing wonderful for the same reasons. But come on!! 4 months and not one word of my performance! That is ridiculous.

TV??
So I show up to work today with an email in my box:
"Rumor has it that a vendor will be in the office today to begin installing the flat screens ….. there will be one on each side of the building.. this will track various business applications and performance for the department. not sure about extra channels… but you never know."
Is this the best use of money? No. Was this an excuse for people to watch their daytime shows because they do not have a TiVo? Maybe.
Regardless I hate it. My back is to this TV (thank the lords) but i have to listen to this garbage all day now. I went out and purchased a universal remote during my lunch break and will be programming it when i get a chance.

Ahh the weekend
Ahhh the weekend. Shut-up all you mon-fri people the real time to have off is tues/wed. Ok not really.
Got word on monday that James was going to be in town for the week before he ships out and will be rolling with me in jiu-jitsu. Next week is belt tests so i hope we dont drill the same armbar over and over again like we usually do before a test.
On tuesday did the usual, gaming. A little super paper mario, some wii sports and a whole pile of LOTRO (lord of the rings online). Also went to Arbys with my sister. Went to ninja class and about passed out. Man i need to hydrate during the day not just at class. After class went up to the Thullbery house to enjoy some beer (we went to wine when that was out), enjoy some nature, and watched some WEC.
Wed was pretty slow. Drove mary to work, went home and played some more LOTRO (yes i am addicted to gaming). After picking mary up from work we got pretty blitzed from rum and cokes.
Now begins the work week.

We have our place back
This week has been a busy week for our apartment.
Mary's little sister Liz was in town visiting and had planned to go to work with her as well. (Mary works at the YMCA playing with kids all day, real rough) But Liz didn't make it to work once. Must be hard to make it to work at noon when you stay up all night watching movies.
My good buddy from college KPMcD was in town for the week in between his internship and going back to school. We spent a lot of time enjoying nature, enjoying beer, and enjoying reruns of "Office" and "Heroes".
This weekend Mary's Mom was in town which meant free food at Buffalo Wild Wings and listening to her and Mary scream at the TV while playing Wii.
Mary's mom and sister are now on their way back to Great Falls and KP is back off to Butte. The apartment will be quiet (maybe i can get some gaming in)

First Post
Well I have decided to become a blogger. I figured I would take this first post to tell anyone interested about who I am and where I come from.
I am 23 years old living in Billings, MT. I have a B.S. in Information Technology & Design from Montana Tech (Go Diggers!). I am currently a "Network Voice Technician" for Global Crossing which is a fancy way to say level 2 tech support.
I am living in a 2 bedroom apartment with my girlfriend of almost 5 years, Mary, and my little sister who is going to be a senior at Skyview High School this year.
Well that's a little bit of who i am.
