Work woes and Stars game

Well first off, work is getting worse. They fired one of the best salesmen up at work. But he is doing good, already has 2 jobs he can start on Monday. One with the former used car manager that got fired who is at another dealership and the 2nd is at the other dealership down the street from us. Which pays better. They offer a much better draw than us. Our draw is minimum wage for hours worked if we dont make commission. Theirs is 2k a month. And its a Chevrolet dealership. I might go down there for some benefits. I would make more money and since my mom wants a Colorado, I could get her a good deal. That and the new Camaro comes out in March, so I could sell those. I know more about Chevrolet than I know about Chrysler products. Im really thinking about going down there and applying. Plus I know a guy that works there other than my friend that possibly might work there.

My only thing is I dont want to sell cars anymore. There is too much bullshit involved. It might be just this dealership, but there is too much involved so far. So many hoops you have to jump through dealing with that shit. I dunno, 2 grand a month sounds mighty good to me right now. Sigh... I need to get a new job no matter what. Why should I stay at this dealership longer when I am miserable every day and getting paid absolute shit. Why not go down the street and get paid more for what Im doing now? Im not gonna make 2k a month delivering sandwiches and or pizza. I didnt make that in CA. Fuck.. What am I gonna do? I also think that I might do better down at this other dealership. And I think I would be happier. So why am I worried about even applying?

Ill tell you. I have a problem with change. It always scares me. And I mean badly. Which sucks when I am looking for jobs. I dont ever know what its going to be like and if I can put up with it. I like a routine most of the time. And getting out of my routine scares me. I always rethink what I should do. I could have already had another job by now if I was not like this. Fuck I hate my mind sometimes. It kills me.

Ok enough work shit.... So I watched the Stars game last night versus the St Louis Blues. And it was fucking horrible. 6-1 loss. And to top it off, there was a guy from minnesota down that was watching the wild/panthers game. And he told me "I'm sorry you are a Stars fan." Then proceded to talk about the move of the team from Minnesota to Dallas. Which I knew about and I thought he was cool at first til he started cheering when the blues scored on us every time. Then I wanted to hit him. Fuck that dick head. So I was in a very somber mood last night.

Oh, and some of you may have noticed AR has not posted in a few days. Dont worry, She is fine, Her charger to her laptop fucked up and she has not been able to post. I ordered her a new one, so no worries, it should be there tomorrow or monday. We are hoping for tomorrow. She is dying without the computer haha. And she says she could live without the comp lol. I know she could, but since she has nothing to do out there but work, she is dying. So go leave her some comments to at least let her know you missed her.

I am going to go hang out with the guy from work that got fired tomorrow night possibly. He is a cool guy. So he is gonna see if he has plans tomorrow and get back to me. We will probably go to that pool hall I love going to. He would love it haha. Lots of college girls for him to hit on. Haha. I think it will be fun. Might talk to a few of the other guys and see if they wanna go too. I like most of them actually, just not the managers for the most part. Haha.

So... Does anyone even read my long ass posts? Or even read my blog at all? Im beginning to think that no one does for the most part. I know its my fault since I didnt post for so long. But yea, I dunno. Post a comment at least if you read this one. Thanks yall.

Fabian Brunnstrom where have you been all my life?

For those of you who do not know who Fabian Brunnstrom is, Thats him, number 96. He played his first NHL game tonight against the Nashville Predators in Dallas.

Why am I posting about this kid? Well, you see that picture over there. See him all happy and shit? Thats because he got a hat trick tonight (3 goals in one game) Yes, his first NHL game and he gets a damn hat trick.

We just signed him this year and he is out there playing with the big boys and kicking ass. He is only 23. He is from Sweden. Im hoping he is going to make a name for himself in Dallas. If he keeps this up, he will be unstoppable. Go Brunnstrom!


Ok so I went to the game tonight with CL and Road-E. We may have had some pretty high up seats, but they were free and actually not that bad.

I bought a new hat tonight. I havent bought a new baseball cap in a long time and I liked this Stars one that I found. It is a pretty awesome hat for only 20 bucks.

The Stars won tonight 6-4. It was a roller coaster of a game. We went up and then they came back and tied and we would go up and they would tie. It was crazy. But we answered every one of their goals with one of our own.

Road-E is a big Stars fan as well, but CL is not. He never sat down and figured the game out. He just hung out and watched games with me to do something. But now, he wants to learn the game. And he is grasping it pretty well. I told him that he needed some Stars merch since he was the only one not wearing anything Stars tonight. So he bought a new hat as well. Same one as me. Technically, he bought his first, and I liked it. Plus it was the only flex fit hat that they had that fit my big head. The others were too small. I just have to get it to stretch a little bit. He is gonna be a real Stars fan yet haha.

He picked one hell of a game to go to haha. It was bad ass. Fuck Im still hyped over it haha.

Im just getting over this horrible ass sinus infection as well. Actually working on quitting smoking. I have been sick for about 2 weeks now. Still not completely over this.

Well, Im still hating my job. Seriously thinking about going back to delivering food. But I gotta find the right place. I was also talking with one of the guys I work with today about when he worked as an insurance adjuster. I think I could be an automotive adjuster. I know cars fairly well. I have had to point things out to adjusters before. He says they make pretty good money as well. I might think of picking that up.

I always work something different haha. Im a jack of all trades kinda guy. I like to know how to do lots of shit. I mean, I know how to work on cars, work on computers, know some law stuff from doing bail bonds, know the cell phone industry from working for ATT, know how to make pizza, know how the automotive sales industry works, and several other things I have picked up over the years. That is also from my bouncing from job to job that I dont like. Which has been bad yet good since I have gained a lot of knowledge along the way.

Who knows what Im gonna do. I always have some crazy idea cooked up in my head. AR usually tells me that I am silly because I am always coming up with something. I mean, I wanted to open a bar, an internet cafe, build computers and sell them, buy and sell real estate, open a whataburger in California since there are none there, open up a musicians practice room facility, open up a concert venue, manage bands, run a bbq smoker trailer, and here recently buy and run vending machines.

I have this problem working for people. I dont like it. I want to be my own boss. I am an entrepreneur at heart. So I have to find something that I can run. I think I have just the thing. Though. It will make me happy, not rich, but happy.

Well I rambled enough, so Im gonna get off here haha.

Bored and getting tired.

Hello again folks. Yes, Its me, posting again so soon. What, its been like a day? Exactly. Oh well, I am trying to post more around here.

I figured something out today about what I was trying to do for a new job. I knew I would have to file a 1099 because I would be an independant contractor. Which means I have to pay my taxes at the end of the year. So I would need to take about 30% of my wages and put them back to pay my taxes. Of course deductions would cover some of that, but I wont have enough to cover all of that. The way I look at it is. Average $540 a week but I assume low, so $500. I would need to hold back $150. So that makes my weekly pay about 350. Which is not much more than I am making now. And then I have to pay for gas, maintenence, and all of my other expenses. So it sucks. I am really gonna have to say no to that job.

I wanted to go to the state fair today, but I woke up late and had other stuff to do. I mailed out AR's package today. I sent her a good bunch of stuff. She will love everything. Then I was really hungry and I went to go get some food with Foghat at On the Border. Then I came home and am just chilling here all night.

Well I ran out of things to say. So Im gonna get off here. Later all.

Hello folks

I sit here still in my work clothes because I dont have to work tomorrow. I dont care to change yet, but probably will soon since Im wearing a long sleeve button down and slacks. I am tolerating my job a little better now. My managers are becoming a lot better to deal with. But... Im worried as well. They have fired 3 people in the past 2 days. The used car manager, the used car internet guy, and the top used car salesman. Im guessing they are completely eliminating the used car dept.

Im already doing better this month than I was last month. I have already gotten a deal. Well.. kinda, it was yesterday, but I dont know if it will go on this month or last month. but its half a deal. So Im good right now. Sept sucked for me up there. Im looking to make a good sale this weekend if I can get my friends brother approved. We have a truck that we didnt pay very much for but is still in awesome condition. Its an 07 with 8k miles on it. Nothing wrong with it. I just hope its what he is looking for. Its worth a lot more than the selling price is. Im going to sell it for more and make myself a big comission check. I dont know this guy, so Im all good. I need a good check to leave this place on.

I have decided that I am going to be a courier. I have a few prospects that I will be calling tomorrow and will try to get hired soon. Im ready to leave that dealership. I would like to keep in touch with some of the people, but not as an employee.

Ok so Im gonna go smoke and start on a diff subject.

So I am very happy for AR, she is happy with this new dental office. And she starts her work next week. She seems very happy about it as well. This is a good thing for her. :) So I still miss her like crazy. I get down about this very often. There are so many things that we normally do and wanted to do. We were gonna go to several hockey games this season. I dont like going out without her. I go out every once in a while now. I am saving money like crazy though so thats a good thing. I should be able to go out to see her soon. That will be awesome. I really want her to come home for a visit as well. I will take her out to do many things when she does come home.

So my sister wants me to meet her boyfriend. I have not had a good opinion of this guy at all ever since I knew of him. He is 17 years older than her. I do not like this at all. She is 20. But so far he has been treating her right. He is a pretty well off guy. He buys her nice things all the time. He is the GM of a busy bar in downtown Dallas. He earned some respect from me the other night. My sister had an episode. He calmed her down and took care of her. Then told her manager the next day who then told a cop who regularly comes into her job. They got her some help. She is doing better now. So like I said she wants me to meet him. She always wants me to meet her boyfriends. I guess she likes my approval. She never listens to me but yea, she does want me to meet them. Well, Im going to go meet him saturday night. We are going to go up to the bar that he manages. I will be getting in free, free valet, and free drinks. Too bad I dont drink that much anymore. Its hard for me to lose the opinion that I formed about him. To me he is just some old sleeze bag that wants to date a young girl. I will give him a chance though I guess. My mom has met him and seems to be ok with him. He is much better than her past boyfriends though. He isnt a drug dealer/drug addict. That makes me happy. I shall let everyone know how that meeting goes

AR is bored and I am going to get off here and call her now.

Oh, I have a real quick question for everyone, How do you get rid of your confidential documents? Personally, I burn them. Just comment and let me know. Thank you.
