Hello Everyone! Since no

one will be reading this anyway, it doesn't matter what I what I put in here anyway... Here goes nothing!

I'm a Ham Radio operator, and I like to Geocache when I have time (and gas money) to do it.
I’ve been off work since August 3, 2002 because of a freshly minted manager where I worked,
didn’t like me.
I have been working for myself doing computer work for people here and there.
Don’t know what else I should put on here…
That’s all folks!



May 16, 2003
I just got a new job at The Home Depot on the 23 of April, working in the Garden Dept.

June 26, 2003
They "let me go" because they were "over on their hours" so I have been jobless for 2 weeks now...
It is now January 22, 2005 and I just remembered that I have an account on here.
I still can't find a job other than working for myself.
It now looks like I'll have to go full time working for myself and try to make a go of it.
Now if I can make a certain tax prep place pay me that $90 they owe me...

January 15, 2006
I've been working at a local restaurant busing tables for the past few months.

They laid me off at the end of 2006, and I looked for work all summer and didn't find anything.


Update: I now live in Howell, Michigan and I now work at the RadioShack there.

October 20, 2009 I'm still living in Howell, Mi and still employed at RadioShack, but now I am married to to most wonderful woman in the world!
We got married on October 10, 2009.

So it is now November 5, 2012.

Long time, no edit.

I now live in Traverse City, Michigan with my wife and my dad, and I'm out of work again. It seems the manager I was working for at RadioShack didn't like it that he couldn't walk all over me.

 


It's been a long time since I last updated this.
So much has happend.

Several new jobs.
I spent 5 years working for RadioShack, and eventhough I was making 2nd place sales profit in the store after the sales stealing store manager while working part time closing the store, it wasn't good enough because I didn't push enough cellphones on people who didn't want them.

Went to Target and worked there for close to 5 years.

Turns out she wasn't the most wonderful woman in the world.
She was actually emotionally abusive.
Divorceed.

A couple years later I met someone new.  The real most wonderful woman in the world. Got married. :D

Got fed up with Target and left to clean offices with wife in Downtown Traverse City, Mi.

Went to O'Reilly Auto Parts.  (More pay, more hours, 5 miniutes from home)
First manager was great.
He got promoted and was replaced by a jerk manager.
Left there to work for the most amazing company in my state.

Now I've been working for the most amazing company in my state for almost 5 years now as the network admin/engineer/everything network.
I make more money than I ever have, but it's still not enough.

In 2020, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1.
I've spent the last few years re-learning what it means to be me.
