Summer is here.
Well summer is officially here. It?s going to be in the 30’s all week this week with very little chance of rain. I am so glad that I am going to be working in a nice air conditioned building for the week.
You know what I have found out this week… I have been thinking a lot as I normally do and I realized something. There is a ton of people out there that go through life with no passion. They go from day to day trying to make the most out of it and try to be as happy as possible. But they have nothing to be passionate about. Take someone who does art and loves it, or follows God with all their heart, or whatever work they do and are passionate about it. People that have something in their lives that they can be passionate about are much happier. (from my own experience) You take someone that is in love and you have a happy person because they have someone to be passionate about. Just something, anything that they can truly care about and enjoy to its fullest. So my advice for today, find something, that you really love or care about and go for it like there is no tomorrow and I am pretty sure you will wake up the next day a happier person.

Problem with Bit torrent.
Well if all of you are thinking that using bit torrent will keep you from getting caught downloading stuff that you shouldnt than think again. A friend of mine who is using Telus got this email from them about a movie that was downloaded. He said that he rents like a madman and thinks that one of his friends might have done it while he wasnt there.

The Update!!
I am no longer unemployed! Yes thats right I an now a new and proud memeber of Spitfire computers. It is a computer shop in town that have have been in and out of for the past 2-3 years. I have even worked there before but only for a week or two at a time. Everytime I would start there another job would come along that would offer more money or more hours so I never stayed. This time looks like the one though, decent pay and good hours and most of all a good group of people to work with.
The best part of all I get to phone Convergys tomorrow morning and tell them that I have another job and that they can bit me. Maybe Ill just say I have another job… 
On the computer front, incase you didnt know already my laptop has not been well lately and I finally found out whats wrong with it. Seems as though its been over heating and everytime it warms up now it starts acting slow. So I spent 2 hours on the phone with dell the other day and now they are sending someone to replace a bunch of parts for me. The parts are as follows : MotherBoard, CPU, Fan, and memory. Yes thats right a good majority of the stuff on my computer will be replaced, since the LCD and the video card have already been replaced in Dryden. What I want them to replace is the Hard drive… with a bigger one. 
Oh and I dont have a spell check installed yet on my laptop so just ignore any spelling errors on this entry. Or just heckle me about them.

No Subject.
Its 2am and I could not think of anything witty to put for a title to this post so “no subject” seemed appropriate. Well things here on the home front are going pretty slow. I got a confirmation from Convergys that I will have a job waiting for me as of Aug 3. However, this will only go through if I agree to some sort of long term employment. I am guessing 6 months to a year, just so they don?t hire me and then I end up quitting a month later. Which is what I was planning to do so that kind of sucks. At the same time it is causing Roy (the owner of spitfire computers) to think about hiring me a month before he was going to just so he wont loose me. Regardless I should be employed soon and hopefully not as bored as I have been.
Well people seem to be taking an interest in my theology site lately. There have been more comments this week than ever before, plus a few new people have signed up. I think most of them were done by Erik and Chris but it?s nice to see people finally using the site. Thanks guys!
Anyway I have to be up in 5 hours for a rehire interview at Convergys so that?s it from me.

Stupid WC3 Map… :P
Ok so I was at my friends house the other day (earls house) and I had just figured out how to protect my map. So I did that and we took it to the web, and tried our first open game in Battle net. However when the game started we found out that nothing looked quite right. Quit out of the game and then found that I had somehow deleted the triggers from the entire map. :O And both of the latest versions were like that… so now I have to go back a few versions and find out what I had fixed and changed in the in-between time. So frustrating.
Well the job hunt is pretty much going no where; I broke down and phoned convergys and see if I could get hired there. They seem pretty sure I will be hired back but I still don?t know when. Things are just not going well here in Kamloops right now… Ill keep praying and hopefully something will happen.
Quote for the day: “diapers and politicians need to be changed often… and for the same reason.”
