Latest Update on my Life

It's been a very long time, way way too long, since I spent time updating my blog. Am I just too lazy to update regularly? Just can't remember how to log in? Have nothing interesting to day? Probaly all of the above.

In either case alot of changes have occured in my little painful corner in the 8 months or so since I last posted. First, lost my job, (YEAH!) was unemployed, tried to sell Rexair Rainbow systems (great system, too much false advertising for the job part of it, will explain this later), went on UI to pay the bills, find a new job, doing Dell Tech support directly for Dell instead of a mismanaged, micromanaging out sourcer. Working for Dell directly, without the 'middleman' is much much better. Not only that, I am doing hardware support for businesses, not whinny consumers who can't understand why surfing 24/7 for porn and free stuff fills their systems with adware/spyware and viruses. Yeah, I love my new Job! Have to admit though, after starting this new job, learned that Dell systems are much better put together than I originally thought. Nice shrouds to funnel the air through system components, case edges bent over or filed down so you don't massacre your hands trying to remove a harddrive, nearly completely screwless both inside and outside the case (no worries about dropping a tiny screw into the case and having it roll underneath the motherboard and it won't come out no matter how you shake the case). If you can't build or fix a system yourself, deffinitely buy a Dell and get as many years of hardware warrenty you can afford. Deffinitely won't have to worry about not getting the hardware fixed if it fails.

Back to Rainbow systems. These combination air cleaners/vacuums are really impressive machines, deffinitely worth the cost for households who's members have any sort of allergies or breathing problems (or just can't stand a speck of dust on anything). It's worth it. What I didn't like was apply for an advertised job that stated a dollar amount as a salary but learning they don't pay the salary at all, but expect you to sell enough systems to make the commission bigger than the salary anyway, so you get the largest of the two. Yet, they expect you to find all your own 'leads' (people willing to have you do the demo of the machine in their homes). Boss kept promissing to give me some leads to get me started, never gave me a single one, even had the margeting manager offer me one only to have him veto it, while I was standing RIGHT THERE! Not to mention he wanted meeting with the full timers every single day, except Sunday, then cancels half of them without notiftying you ahead of time. I decided I didn't have the time or desire to wonder around knocking at doors in a City I don't know so well, and giving out scratch cards for them to scratch for a prise (of course, to get they prise they need to have a demo done). Being female, wondernig around at night in the middle of winter freezing my ass off and risking myself to hand little scratch cards only to half 99% or more not bother trying to collect the prise, just wasn't worth the time needed.

Anyway, even though I think the system is awsome, it just wasn't worth the risk to myself personally, to go door to door trying to get people to call and mention my name when they win a price they can't collect, unless they have a demo done. Well that is over and done with and I like my new job better.

On a nicer side, my efforts at breeding crested geckos is going well. Now to just find some buyers so I can sell the babies.
