I think Kanye should be banned from the stage. I used to think he was a good artist. He goes off on how Bush does not care about black people on television. Okay, I thought Bush was a stupid talker. So is Kanye.
I could care less about the person that won her award. I don't listen to her music. Then here comes Kanye, once again opening his mouth when he shouldn't be. Dude, just shut your trap. Kanye apparently doesn't have anything intelligent to say. Whatever he is protesting isn't even justified.

Computer Crap Driving Me Mad
I am about at the last strand of hair. I had my computer taken in to have viruses removed. The computer guy was talking about how I shouldn't have Limewire on the computer. I get my computer back and there is stuff on here I don't know about.
There is an AVG software on here as well as a search and destroy thing for spy bots. My friend recommended Frostwire instead. I really need some computer genius for a friend. Seriously. I download it. The moment I download it, I have something that automatically gets me register for this fruttinet garbage.
I was still having issues with making things work that I finally got in order again. When it comes to Everio, I am the only one in the state of Idaho that knows how to get the equipment to function.
Anyways, the computer guy was saying how nervous he was about the Frostwire. Wonderful. He also asked what the fruttinet was. I have no idea. I removed the Frostwire. In the meantime, fruttinet keeps on popping up phony ads. The computer keeps flipping over to a page saying that this that or the other thing is not up to date.
I have tried everything to get rid of this crap. I turned up the pop up blocker. Not working. I tried using the AVG and the search and destroy. Nothing is working. I chat on the Frostwire forum and of course the idiots are denying the spyware. I talked to my ISP and they recommend One Care which has not downloaded to my computer for free since I moved here.
I have to take my computer in once again. I don't know how. My training is during the time when they are open and they are closed on the weekend. I need someone who can fix my computer for free ASAP.
My other issue at hand is another computer in the house that is not up to date. There is no wireless thing on it. My computer has WIFI built into it. So, I moved the modem next to the desk top computer. He has 100 mbps. That's not fair, I could only get 54.0 on mine. Now that it is moved, my Internet is moving slower and it changes from 34.0 to 54.0 and it keeps saying "low", "good", and "very good". The ISP of course, could not figure it out. It varies from being the walls (which are plaster) to other things being wireless messing up the connection. Another thing to figure out.
I wish I could take a break from the world for a week. I have been doing nothing but multi tasking. I can't get anything done on the weekend and I can't get anything done during regular business hours. I would do things online but it would be risky at this point because of the potential spy ware on here.

What a great weekend!
Friday I get a phone call about the ad in the paper for the room for rent. Maybe it was from online. Saturday, I got another room mate. So, I got two students living here.
Sunday was my brothers birthday. Happy birthday! I hope dad remembered yours, he forgot mine. My birthday was confused with Shykia's.
I closed my account with Chase. The credit card still exists. The banker was acting a little butt hurt that I did it. The damage was already done by WAMU and I already opened a "new" account with Wells. I don't know if I want that account for long. It is difficult to know the balance when there is a deposit and it does not show on the slip either. Security? I think not, if it was fraud I would be taking the money. That money didn't go to the Wells account however. I used the money from the closed account to pay for Rusty. I am going to be on a super tight budget right now.
The garden is still doing good. My white pumpkins are growing pretty good. Getting a ton of crookneck squash and the acorn squash is finally coming in. Just when we were giving up on the jalapenos they appear. Still waiting on the bell peppers. The cucumbers had been cross pollinated so we have some yellow cucumbers. I planted some other cucumbers. I don't remember what they are called but they are going to look pretty cool.

Week Two
Currently, I am on week two of training. I haven't had any time for anything throughout the day.
I have been getting life in general straightened out. I get up early in the morning so I can get things done. I call a bunch of people on my breaks as well as lunch. I have been having issues with the neighbors.
I was about to put some curtain rods up and I noticed my step ladder is gone. There was also an incident where someone had trespassed on my yard to let their cat out of my trap. There was another incident where there were broken boards in the yard and a board sticking in the fence. Their kids won't stay out of my yard either. Police officer stated that it was petty. Clearly he missed the point. The people next door have to stop. Working on a way to get surveillance set up. Guess who will get in trouble for all of the missing things around the house? If you know of anyone that has some spare electrical fence, I am all ears. Looking for cameras I can hide around the house and catch the bastards. I do believe some charges are going to be pressed.
The lady next door asked us if they did anything to make us mad. Ummm, yeah, they seem to think they have a right to disturb us. It would be quite obvious. Stay out of my yard and do not bug me. When she was told about the water being aimed at the backyard, the whole thing is turning into my responsibility. She forgets and we should reach over and shut off the water. As if I don't have enough to do around here.
Things seem to be going well. I realize I am not good with role playing. I am better at interacting with the customer on the phone. It's Jennifer flow. I am worried about the test though, I am no good with tests. As far as I understand, the sales I make is the test. I think it will be easy if that is the case.
Well, I have got to jet. I still have a long list of things to do. Need to check out new benefits and have to get up early once again to get things done.

Yay!
From what it looks like I am eligible for my benefit. For one week. Woo. Better than nothing.
I got some more good news. I am catching up in class. Which makes me happy, I was stressing really super bad.
Completed my first full week in training. I am pretty happy to have something new. Even though I am stressing whether I am going to be able to make a house payment or not. I am also stressed about how the medical bill is going to work out.
I am also hoping for rent. I should go and hassle him while I still have a chance. Trying to get a new room mate is a huge gamble.

Need Extra Time, A Study Budy
After my absence, I am already running a bit behind. I haven't had a chance to talk to someone about getting set up with my health benefits. There are a bunch of compliance things that are still not done. I haven't set up a direct deposit yet.
On top of that, I still have to call the department of labor to see what is going on with my check. Employer has not yet responded. They should be approved, I was fired. I was unable to meet goals. I was unable to jump the hoops to keep things the way they needed to be.
Which brings me to the topic of unions. In a "right to work state" there are really no rights for the worker. If there was a union at my last job, I would still be employed. There you have it. If you plan on moving to Idaho for employment opportunities, do think twice. If you want your rights make sure the job has a union.

One More Road Block
Yesterday was pretty fun. I broke a $20 to get some fives and a ten. It turned out that it costs $2.50 a day to park in the parking lot. Fab.
So, I go to Starbucks so I can break a $5. There is nothing under $3 there. Luckily, I came to the conclusion that I will never go there ever again. As soon as I give the cashier money, I begin to ask her a question to get some change. As I ask her the question, she closed her drawer. Then she stammers that she cannot. Then I want my money back. Yes, I am telling everyone by blogging you cow. This is the Starbucks on Broadway by the way. Hastily, she tells me to not tell anyone that she is doing this. It is against the rules. She took my five and traded it for the one dollar bills in a donation thing. Then quickly she gives me my coffee, tells me to have a nice day without looking me in the eye, and quickly shut the window.
I made it to the dirt parking lot and park my car. I made it a little early to my destination. It was a long 8 hours but I pulled it off. Nothing but paperwork. Throughout the day, I started to feel more and more uncomfortable.
On the way home from work, I started to feel a little worse. I spent a majority of the evening in the bathroom. Paul gave me some pills. It got worse. It didn't go away by the morning. Day two of work and I have to go to the doctor.
I go the hospital. I gathered all my paperwork for my insurance. Aetna had expired just yesterday. I didn't want to be with Aetna anymore because they have a real shit attitude. This will prove my point once again. I called Aetna because I needed information on COBRA. My new insurance does not start until the end of the month. I was referred to Fidelity. Again, I had to have an issue with the stupid pin to get through the system. I get transferred to the health benefits center. The guy talked to me like I was stupid and referred me to Aetna to see if they would cover anything.
I called Aetna once more. The lady was rude and told me that my insurance had expired. No joke I was calling to see if they would cover it. OH! My mistake. They never have any information PERIOD. That's right, I forgot why I hate Aetna to begin with. The lady was talking with such an attitude, I wanted to speak to her supervisor. She immediately bites my head off, "This is not a supervisor situation." Further escalating and would not let me speak. I told her since she is cutting me off and not letting me speak, I wanted to speak to her supervisor anyway. By the time she finally put me on hold, the nurse was entering the room and my call was lost.
So, I call Fidelity again. I threatened to call a lawyer (which was very tempting because I also had in my hand a lawyers number) if nothing gets straightened out. I am so sick of run arounds I can't wait to have a different provider. The guy helps me subscribe to the plan again. Which is $137 and it goes back to the time when I lost my job and "should" be effective today. GOD I HATE AETNA!!! If any other business would to be chosen to go Aetna should be the one.
So, I am in ER. I am dehydrated. I get all kinds of samples taken from me. Then they put something to hydrate in my arm. The testing they could do right away, everything looked great. I did need some anti biotics. Further lab work is taking place which could take days. I get a note to stay home for the day. This really sucks because I am starting a new job and I have to find a way to do a follow up.
The trainers are being pretty good about it. They do want me to get better as do I. The training is important as well. I need to talk to them to see what I can do about my follow up where it's not going to effect anything. Maybe I can pick a time frame where I can get out early enough to see a doctor.
