Do I need to start getting my travel docs ready?

The place the wanted to meet is a weird hotel bar place, it is known but it’s not a common place to talk business or things like hire people, apparently it was an interview good thing I wasn’t carrying my lunch bag or things, bad part I arrived in jeans a casual button up shirt and a dickies jacket for the cold, the tall Russian guy (looks like a security guard or coordinator to military & intimidating looking for a HR guy) asked me to confirm all my personal data was true otherwise there would be legal action and “HEELL TO PIE”… of course it’s true why the flying fuck would I use fake info to get a new job?
So Rick is a weird looking guy actually called Alto(tall in Spanish) but is short (1,70 tops) starts asking me if I have issues with long travel or how I usually “charge” or get paid here in Mexico. I don’t charge overtime for travel but it depends since you usually let people at least take good meals if you make them fly on the weekends or nights, a buyer that travels? Well this makes the job offering more convincing as long as I don’t pay things out of my pocket! Overtime only Saturdays and if you need me to work more than a couple of hours but other than that I’m down with working “of the clock” if its needed… offer did change when I got the updated offer to almost 3.9k with 2 conditions, the choose the living areas/housing and all communications go thru their system and are recorded (even husband with wife type calls) also I can only use their banks /plastics when traveling or working my cash can be used whenever I’m not on the clock or by my wife so no problems there.
My travel visa will be ready on 2 days after I sign the 5 year contract, I just hope I don’t back out of this before I can renew or get lots of money on my bank account

Oh yeah, it’s not drugs apparently they think I’m gifted at looking and managing buys since the last buyer they had was an asshole (there words not mine) that everything was to be branded and expensive… I really don’t care I just do what they pay me for as stated in the contract they want a cheap ass buyer that saves on everything even toilet paper the so be it that, no… THIS is what I will be and if this can help me get the girls in their own home and pamper them and get my wife nice things then even if I have cut my balls off… I will do it I need to provide the best for them maybe even not so cheap things for me when the time comes…

jajaja yeah the Foundation

After the last call with Rick I got an email with a job offering paying 2k a week… since I earn $200 a week an extra zero (and extras it’s not 2k flat) I am tempted but something is wrong usually companies don’t say “…we offer this, want in come in and sign this.”
Cat is missing one dog is sick, girls are freaking me out, wife seems more distant than other days maybe I do need a job change? Whatever I’m dropping my 2 week notice after signing up but I need to check this “…we need to relocate you, are you up for it? All cost will be covered by us…” it’s no usual for a simple buyer but oh well! Money is money and if I get to sight see so be it, down side is wife and kids have to stay here (probably I don’t think a location change would be good for them), I wonder how much I can cheapskate myself and set aside in 1 year or sooner I could buy a house cash up front and a car.
They said to meet close to downtown, it takes me at least 50 minutes just to get there on bus since I’m almost out of town, I will leave early and see if they can meet at 4 o’ clock to talk about the relocation and stuff like payment and what do I get a free life insurance(?).
The color guys are no longer on sight, could it be related to this work offer? Hopefully my wife will want to go catch a movie maybe the Ronin one would be nice.

Almost done shopping

Fuck this... Just got my pricing checked using only 41 items I'm up to 785k... And the textiles are only 110k in saving I got 2 and something hours and 105k left with 25 items.... This wasn't even fun like normal purchasing sourcing... The cleaning items will take 30 min for 30k... I don't need time I need to know what happened yesterday night, they came home at 9 it was too late and not even go a "Hi Dad"... The things were nowhere to be seen, am I going crazy? Also why would a company need black velvet and Kashmir if the do electrical components? What ever I'm of to finish the list and claim victory for my 12 quote 1 million solar savings... Would it be rude to ask for a small talk time recharge for my number if I don't get the job?? Maybe a 100 pesos wouldn't be to much to ask for

The fuck

Just got the list right now... 83 items... Big quantities but easy purchases for short or long term if you know the corrects brands... Off the bat I'm 320k in savings in fluid dispensers and solder/metal rods alone, his is stupid any good buyer could suggest a blanket or something what is he playing at?? Oh well I can change to distributor instead of reseller for the chemicals and same at least a quarter mil there... Its too foggy and dark for my taste... I wonder were my wife and kids are?
Grandmas? Vet? Last minute grocery shopping?? Fuck it I don't care I need one quick if nothing else I'm to stressed for this right now, wonder where the cat went his transport box is downstairs and his for bowl is full..

What??

5 minutes ago I get a call from Rick (no bitch he's not Rick James bitch) telling me his a HR & PR person for a company he cannot did lose the name yet... OK I had one of this before and was legit, has a copy of my resume dated a month ago (legit) and what's to try me out/cal me on my skill and 1 million USD savings self imposed goal.
"OK what do you need quoted and is tomorrow 10am acceptable if I get the list before 8am"
"Sure!! But all items must be of the same quality or better"
"You got it, make sure the list is in excel or PDF I don't do word for free"
After a snort he agreed any phone expenses would be covered in cash and told me the test was on.
Worst case I do free work that could have been used to work on my excel - MRO self purchasing program... Or porn... Either way let's see what happens tomorrow.

What is happening

I'm afraid to say it (post) since every time I have told someone it happens.
When I first arrived at Tijuana I had seen 3 things (ghost or whatever) 1 blue, 1 red and 1 green all using some weird bird mask. Ever since that time when i see them I "blackout" or get a huge brain reset(fart?) I forget everything that was happening and have even asked what day it is, worst part is something that have happened to me with friends or family are said to have happen after or before the event actually happened.
Stupid example, according to me 5 days before my birthday (17) I found a $50 on the street and purchased a book called “Encrucijadas”, I finished it and actually wrote a report on it for school, 1 day after my birthday POOF brain fart turns out that did not happened and for some reason people call me by a different handle (instead of Grave the call me lukazaz, yeah it’s my handle but I don’t use is since after 6 grade! And now it turns out that it’s the other way around) ok so whatever, some things happen and I need to go downtown for a new copy of “Encrucijadas” since I can’t find the book in my house on the way there I find an “other” $50 a couple of blocks were I had found the first (weird but Ok this is a place where rich tourist come and go every day at all times).
I go to the shop ask for the shop keep for the same book as last time (since he can just look up the bin were it was) turns out I haven’t been to the store in months… ok weird maybe the cute girl forgot or something, I just go ok well I need a copy of blah blah blah… there’s 2 copies (weird I didn’t think they would restock 1 book at a time) sure enough I buy it go home and read it again… nothing changed so far.
I go to school next day a bit strange for me to hear a handle I hadn’t used but o well, turns out at 9 period we get a text assignment, read “Encrucijadas” and make a report for next week.
Funny I already have that book AND did a report on it… for this same class… I ask the teacher why that books since it’s kind of a lone print not easily found (P2P was the go to thing torrents were to slow) teacher (to my shock) starts questioning my reasoning saying I should have even heard of it, I told her I know the author (nor personally his books at least) and that I have a copy of the 2 that were available at Renatos books store(great finds for cheap prices!!) she calls me out and the questions rain down… every single one correct, while she is impressed I finally notice what happened the last X days have changed I recall them some way but they are now completely different, thing I would now if things happened in the “inverse” situation are clear to me and some few but not the rest.
LOTTERY YOU IDIOT! Lottery  HA! I wished since that could make things easy.
Turns out my parents are “polar opposites”, financially I’m the same (fucked) love life is gone with the wind, girlfriend is now only friend (even do I know some really personal things she still thinks I stalk her and that its stupid we could go out) crush is now more of a secret lover (according to her) instead of my almost sister, oh and my weird writings (journal kind of thing and writing excuse) gone…
I saw them 2 nights ago, they were close to my girls and wife.
I’m afraid of what will happened on Saturday, maybe I become rich? Maybe I commit suicide? Maybe the girls of my dreams changes to some other person?
I used to clear my mind doing stuff (writing, playing VG, trying to blow stuff up you know manly stuff) but seeing them close to my girls makes me sick and tired maybe it’s time for me to try and stop them?
I can seem them outside the porch door… I don’t need luck I need my sanity and to know that if I am dreaming this can stop and the things I know that have happened stay the way they are… a tall guys wearing a Hawaiian shirt (6°C at 6am in Tijuana is not common) asked me if I recalled the Foundation.

I lied, I do recall it and what they do, I think it’s time for me to join them if possible if not to stop this to at least get more money to fix things if possible…….

Why I hate out sourcing out sourced work

It was a long time ago (I was maybe 15/16 at the time?) I really did not enjoy working with my Dad, we would do (sometimes not always) some shitty jobs because they wouldn’t approve the amount he quoted and they would say please do it for X less… naturally he would agree, but oh well continuing.
One time we had a “job” change some water filters, re-solder a couple of copper water tubing and clean a pool, since he didn’t want me using a soldering torch I cleaned the pool and before he had finish soldering I had more or less changed all of the water filters, now I did not know the 400k USD (a lot for the area I was, 1000 sq meter house with departments) was sold to a new owner.
There I was saying “HI!” like an idiot to the new owner (not knowing he did not want the work done) and him yelling at me to get out or he would call the cops, my Dad shows up and starts going X person hired us to come and do this and that payment would be done by Y (the new owner)… he was pissed and since all the repairs were done he was stuck with the bill.
Since that moment I have swear if I ever need to work solo I would deal directly with the owner or the person paying me would deal with the owner with me present (no $$ talk just saying HE will do this).
Sorry for the rant, I really needed to get this off my chest more now that I have been working with contractors for almost 3 months and I am yet to see results that are satisfactory or comply with what we requested/paid for

Faults and memories

Sometimes you remember this you really wouldn't want to remember but it's on does momenta when you realize that the feeling and actions that ochre due to embarrassment may be truly something to be not proud but happy to have experience before only by falling and being dragged to the bottom can you learn what to do what not to do and what is going to happen/be expected

I don't enjoy watching 3rd parties work and telling me "oh it's broken" because I don't care I will pay or paid or credit something to the person you work for for it to function properly if your boss said it would work sorry but make it happen or pay me back for the time wasted.... If you sell something make sure it will work don't try and make it work sell things that do that way you can have better profits and not angry customers....

More on this (examples) later

First!!

This blog has been created with the soul purpose of helping me get things of my mind, I'm not stressed but tiered of the things that happen, think of this as a journal to help me see what happens each time the event occurred, what event? Well that's for a later post for the moment I have to get back @ work
