I’m currently at a Circle K Board Meeting. The board meeting is in Spokane, WA.

The Proximity to Pullman is disturbing.

I have recently discovered that Something Awful has a board called SAmart. People buy and sell stuff on there all the time. I bought a few pieces of things for my media center from there (actually, I got everything except the mainboard). I also found out that there is a bunch of stuff people post asking for that I have. As such, I’ve been selling off a bunch of stuff, sold a laptop, piece of ram, and my old pocket pc. If it weren’t for the stupid 7 month rule for posting threads in there, I’d have a selling extravaganza!

I found out yesterday that the contract for my job is running out, and it probably won’t be renewed. My Contract will more or less end in October, so I’ve got a little less then 3 months left on my job. The chances of my contract being extended again are very slim, since the company has 3 or 4 people left to hire for the year, and they probably don’t think IT needs another one, and if they do, they’ll most likely get a Systems Engineer or something.

I’m also looking into moving to Seattle, since I currently work there and plan on going to UW next fall (however, I’m not so sure about moving to Seattle if my job ends in October and I have no idea where I’ll be working next). I’m hoping to spend no more then 700 on rent, from the looks of it I may get lucky with a place that includes utilities. There are a bunch of places available right now, but I’m currently broke after having had to pay a bunch of bills, rent, and ICON all in the same week (In other words, a little over 1,000 bucks, and I make about 1,200 a month). I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to continue going to events this pricey since they tend to screw with my budget quite a bit, plus Eric sucks at managing the bills, leaves them to pile up and then asks me to pay them all at once (I paid bills for may, then 2 weeks later I have to pay for june, he already has the one for July but is sitting on it). Richard is gone too, so the bills are even more right now. The gas bill should be a lot less though, since I shut off the heater last month as it would turn on every 15 minutes even when the house was plenty warm. But I’m looking at paying around 100 for gas, no idea what the other stuff will be yet.

I’ve started selling off stuff I don’t need, various computer parts I’ve collected over the past year I no longer use. Hopefully that’ll get me enough money to pay deposit on an apartment. I started looking last week, but I stopped since any place I would find I wouldn’t be able to have since I can’t pay for them. I’m going to wait until I have at least 800 on hand first, then I’ll start looking (probably next weekend I guess). As long as no surprise payments come up I should be able to make it though the month and have enough to move out in the end of August. Only problem with that is my current lease ends in September, so if I’m lucky, Alex will find someone to move in when I leave. I think he has  a friend who said he would move in when I left, so that should take care of things.

Classes start in September too, my dad wants me to meet with an advisor so I can make sure I’ll transfer to UW easily. I’m guessing I won’t since I’ve been working on a useless AA in Tech Support for the past year and a half that will just fulfill the stupid AA or 4 year requirement recruiters put on job listings. I’m still not 100% sure why I’m in college, BCC is total suck, starting a Circle K there sucks (gotta get time off to recruit for that damn club), hopefully I’ll get it rolling this fall.

I’m still a little clueless about what I’m doing right now, I’m working for an awesome company, I’ve got a few projects going there right now and I more or less control my schedule, when I leave it’s going to be a pain finding another job that will work for me, as I’m going to be going to college so I’ll need a part-time job.

Long story short, went to Mikeys house yesterday since Helen was dying her hair. I had been wanting to dye my hair for awhile. However, I didn’t have money for blue dye like I wanted, so we used the extra from Helen’s, red. Turned out way lighter then intended, I looked like a black carrot top. So, I shaved it all. Enjoy pictures after the break.

I’m a fucking idiot.

Was driving home on the highway, traffic jam and all, was on 520. I was behind an SUV, the guy in front of him hit the breaks hard, he hit the breaks, and I did too. My tires blow ass, so I basically slid straight into him. Lucky for me, car tipped forward so the end of the hood hit them. They took no damage so I don’t have to worry about police report or insurance, just about my car.

The Hood is bent out of shape, grill is fucked up (fasteners broke so it’s useless), passenger headlight vertical adjuster is stripped and so is part of the fastener near the grill, so it just wiggles around now. The big bar on the vehicle ( behind the fender, has the radiator connected to it) is slightly bent, to the point of when I bent the hood back into shape, it wouldn’t lock. Other then that everything else looks fine.
