I'm Alive!

Yeah I haven't posted in a very long time, whatever, no one cares except Nathan. Let me tell you about everything shitty going on, because there is plenty. You know the old expression, "when it rains, it pours"? Yeah, well its a shitstorm with me. So at the end of June, I had to leave intel, and it was in no way job related. Back in 2000 when I worked at safeway in Bend, I ended up getting caught for taking a couple things, so I had to go to court and got a shoplifting charge on my record. Now, Intel is very strict about background checks obviously, and decided they had to restrict my access and terminate my employment because of this charge. Since I was hired on through a staffing company, they also had to terminate me because of this charge. Isn't it great how they tell me everything is fine and they hire me, allow me to quit my other job, then do the background check a month later and fire me? Yeah, its fucking awesome. Also, I don't care what anyone says.. most people have shoplifted before, they just didn't get caught, so if anyone gave me shit for it, they're an idiot. Alright, so basically I was getting on track with paying everything I owed on since I was making more money working at intel, so needless to say I was fucked because I didn't get another job for a couple weeks. Its amazing how far behind you can get in what seems like such a short time. Now I work for a delivery company called Senvoy. I'm an on-demand driver and basically I just drive around all day picking up things and dropping them off. I drive my own car but they reimburse you for fuel and slight wear and tear on the vehicle, etc. Most of the work I do is just delivering shit for title and mortgage companies, etc, but I've delivered other types of stuff too. We drive all over the area too.. like the other day I went and picked up 3 orders from Sysco foods in wilsonville, and it was close to 300 lbs.. I dropped part of it downtown portland, then had to drive out to the casinos in La Center to drop the other stuff, and yeah I get paid more for long distances and things that weigh more like that. So anyway, the job is pretty cool.. nothing that I imagine doing for THAT long, because the plan is to go back to intel.. and how? you may ask. Well I had no idea of expungement of a record until the background dept. at intel told me about it.. so when I looked into it and did some research, it turns out I can more than likely have the record expunged and taken off my record and legally say it didn't happen.. and including everything I need to do, it should only cost a little over 100 dollars. Now, if I would have known about this earlier I wouldn't have the problem I have now, so yeah, that sucks ass because I could have been working there still, but after I have it expunged I'll reapply. Yeah, so since I started my new job on the 11th of July, it was 4 days from the end of the pay period.. so I only got 4 days of pay, then had to wait two weeks till the 1st of august to get 300 bucks.. yay. So my rents, and my sister had to pay for my bills and now my car decided that the radiator and the water pump need to be replaced, so we need to order those and my dad and I are going to put them in.. they wanted to charge over 600 bucks at the shop.. but we can do it for about 225. Obviously I'm not comfortable with paying everything yet, but I get a 500 dollar sign up bonus next thursday, and I get a full paycheck a few days later so I should be on top of it soon, but it has been a goddamn pain in the ass to say the least. Anyway, I'll post sometime a little later to talk about cool stuff, opposed to this shitty stuff.
