i'm working on the Al central write up. it will be along soon. until then, i have other things to say.
this is the next site design. ok, i get it, you want the poll and talkback thing to come back. well its not going to happen until we get a site layout finalized. so fuck off. theses are experiments. take it as nothing more. thing of it as the american idole of websites. vote off what you don't want and leave creative feedback for what you do. i don't know shit about HTML, so i'm trying to find an easy way out. the last site took a ton of time to fix/configure. the comments showing up like they did was not intended. in fact, i was trying to get them to pop up like they do now but i fucked it up nad couldn't get it to work right, thats why they showed up. and i couldn't fix it. i had no clue what the problem was and didn't know where to start or care about fixing it. it was fuction-able, bottom line. damon, i'm looking at you to help here because you havethe most website design knowledge out of any of us. i went to a tech school but i wouldn't trust any of htose kids to code a website much less design anything. seriously, geeks are hard to work with.
i love blogger. it's simple, it's honest and it is still young, much like most of the internet. blogger gives me something for nothing, which rocks. if i ever make a ton of money from this website thing they are going to get a ton of credit. i'd love to become one of the advertised sites/ featured sites, i think we are one of only a few "team" blogs that actually gets used. that's our niche. all we need is a solid site design, and adds. working....working.....working........
i see people are wondering what i'm up too since i don't have a job. number one... enjoying not having a job. i have no schedual, no routine, no commitments, no anything. and i like it. i'm not in any rush to get back to the working world. it will happen eventually, but why rush it. i've had a million people tell me they would do the same thing in my position, so i'm doing it. i relax, i play video games, i vacation and i enjoy life as it comes to me. now be envious. biatch. i'll get a job, it will be serviceable. it will kill time until something better comes along or i save aenough money to do what i want. i approach this with an open mond and with nothing to lose. i'm smart, i'm young and i have good experience. i've been telling recruiters to fuck off on a regular basis.
today i had an indian guy call me from a recruiter in india. he started his conversation by appoligising for waking me up and saying "you live in Vermont? no .. wait ... Burlington?"
"no, i live near burlington, in vermont."
"oh, i have a job opening for an outside vendor who works with IBM, they need a technician to run tests and work at the IBM plant."
"i'm not a technician, i have an engineering degree."
"what?"
"i went to college, i have a real degree, i'm not a technician, i'm over qualified. who are you?"
"i work for XXXXXX, i'm sorry" NEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...........
fucking outsourceing. i get a bunch of calls like this because i posted my resume on monster.com the only hits i get from it are recruiters looking for something i'm either over qualified for or trying to make a profit off of my employment. they are dusch bags through and through. i got calls once a week from them while working at JFD looking for people i might have known at college or myself. just head hunters looking for the right keyword on a resume.
everyone seems more worried about me getting a job then i do. i'm not worried. i'll find something. at this point, i'd rather wait for something i want rather then settle for a shit job i willl hate in 6 months. i'm also open to just getting some crap job in the right industry. i'm smart, i'll work my way up. i'd also rather work for a company that i like, or is doing something good for the world rather then a place like energizer who is looking ot dump more murcury and create more waste. that doens't help anyone.
fuck jobs, if they don't come to me, i'll create them on my own. i'm smart, creative and when i want to be, motivated. fuck the system. i'll be just fine.
