Blog(s) Update

Hello, those who are reading this blog!

Just so you know, in case you haven't heard, I am starting a new blog on WordPress that will share my opinion about various topics that I find interesting. I will still use this blog as much as I can, but it will be more for catching people up on what is going on in my life. The blog on WordPress is something that I want to use to expand on other various topics that interest me, like sports and some geeky stuff that I enjoy.

If you wish to read this new blog (and the first post that I have up) here is the link http://wernernelson.wordpress.com/. You can even subscribe if you choose to.

Oh and as for an update on my temp job? It sucks. That is all.

Day Sleeping

Even with a painful sleep schedule (this past Monday was the first time in about two or three weeks that I woke up before noon), I am starting to get more comfortable with my temporary job. The first couple weeks were painful...having to learn things on the fly while not being trained to use certain vehicles. However, I am starting to get the hang of it and using my own system to get things done (a.k.a. WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN that I need to...it seriously helps). I am the youngest person working there (at least on my shift) and as the majority of the people work are in their 30s or older.The hours may be unfavorable and the work sometimes not as pleasant, but having a well-paying job, even if it is temporary, is better than no job at all. And if I made the stupid decision to quit, there would be somebody more than willing to take my spot.

I plan to pick up the permanent job search again soon. I unfortunately did not get the job that I interviewed for at Harrah's, so the search continues. Otherwise, it is nice to be home...eating home-cooked meals, spending time with the family, reading books (gasp!!!), finding new podcasts to listen to, and successfully cutting down on how much I tweet on Twitter (because Twitter does not = Facebook and does not replace texting, which took me a while to learn :P). I will try to post more often than once a month...just to touch up on the old writing skills for those who are interested...and now, once again back to sleep before work.

(Insert catching sign-off phrase here)
