Rain & Return
I'm tired or the rain and crap hotel room... If I was paying it at least book me a larger suite please.
Got 6 calls from the Foundation tonight before 11pm... Being honest for the amount you wanna pay me go ahead I'm available till 11 an open up shop at 5:30.
Yet to finish some fine details but current employer is crushing my spirit I would love some recognition and financial support yeah I'm leaving but at least let me feel like my work is worth something more that free labor to you guys.
Saw a yellow Lotus motor sport Elise plates @#$%&+ you bastard was calling saying you were staying @ Xyz Inn (same as mine) to much to fucking ask???
Thanks for the drinks and talk I really had a good time at the bar, hope business flow more than ever!!

FSM Hell is the worst kind of hell ever
My boss just called and straight forwardly told me why I was
quitting, strange enough he is not the I visit blogs kind of guy or most of the
people at work. Said he had a call from local high ups saying to not interfere and
provide any assistance in the 1 week notice since they had know about this… I
got the offer on Friday HOW IN THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERS STALE BEER VOLCANO
HELL DID THEY KNOW!
Whatever apparently I’m getting some sort of silent
treatment from management till I quit next week and I’m getting a “see you”
payment so I think we’re kind of in the “fuck you, but please consider coming back”
area.
I don’t think I will get to train my replacement since last
time they needed to hire someone to fill the engineer urgently it took them a
month to find a good candidate, whatever if they need help my boss knows he can
shoot me up an email or call me, my sister called me crying after seeing my
facebook post, so long facebook, I’m just going to stick to the google plus
site for the moment and blogger till I get some info from the IT guys on “allowed
websites” and “Danny’s alone time allowed webpages and videos”.
Level 3 Foundation - Purchasing and Procurement Specialist
So apparently I’m now an official Foundation buyer (apparently
I can say/write “Foundation” but not the rest) and my first job is in Alaska in
site #14 I leave on the 17th (02.17.14) and something that at least
to me shows me that I made it “big time” is I get 1k a week for expenses no
including fares does apparently are corporate dictated and blah blah blah I can
dress anyway I chose but shorts, sandals and hats are frowned upon (why would I
dress like that??) so continuing with the rest… I also got a 1.5k for any
clothes I think appropriate and my choice in electronics BUT the IT department
will purchase them and do the rest I will get them before the “transport
arrives” which if I’m not mistaken I’m going on a train trip from Tijuana to X
place then to Alaska (plane I suppose) .
Yet something weird happened, I was told to NEVER under no
circumstance to disclose any names from the engineers and to contact them at a
1800 number in case someone asked for my clearance.
I think I shouldn’t have taken this job but the pay will be
good, I got some free clothes and stuff so I could quit now or see where this
takes me, either way if the color things/people show up I’m practically fucked,
speaking of which I even got some curious guidelines to this last matter and
even got some “in case you have a [REDACTED] you may consider the following”
pointer in their “Welcome Manual”, since from what the hierarchy shows there’s
levels of employment, levels 1 and 2 are engineers and technicians with some occasional
temps, levels 3 (like myself YAY!) are site staff like clerical (accounting)
and for some reason Doctors in lots of different maters (do they also have physicians?
I need my brain checked out maybe the color bird people are a tumor or just a
stress build up).
Well I better go quit tomorrow morning, my direct boss won’t
like it but it’s too much money to pass away the offer hopefully he gets pissed
and tells me to go home and just check for the pending salary next week.
My wife is in all aspects as I can tell happy for us since
this means we can get a bigger place or stay (them not me) put and try and buy
a place, get a new car maybe even some other things, when I told her the visits
were a no go with them she cried a bit but she has to understand this is good
for us and will help us be better (everything except close by) the girls are
young and really didn’t get it, since the contract does not say anything about
video calls I’m going to opt and buy a good laptop for them to at least video
call them every day.
Cat was hurt and bleeding badly BUT not dead, same with the
dogs I don’t know what happened but the vet says it’s probably some raccoons or
something that attacked them either way their fine so less stress for me but I
still have lots of planning before I leave.

So messenger boy just came by
So either they read this blog OR they really want me in
their team a same day messenger boy showed up at my house, how the fuck did they
get this address if I told them the
listed on the resume was the one on my ID but not where I lived?
He had a box and a slim document folder for me… it’s a copy
of the contract with a letter “- in case your interested sign it today or
tomorrow and call this number and a messenger boy will pick it up and give you
a box with instructions, plastics and required things you start in 2 weeks
starting the day you signed we suggest you give a week and a half notice and
get your family ready for your departure”.
Plastics? Am I getting a corporate card? Yeah I don’t think my brain is working
correctly right now I’m to hyped and haven’t even told my wife
I place the box in the living room for the girls to open
with me and start reading the contract… that’s all I can say since it also has
a NDA for what it states. Bottom line is I get told an amount I need to procure
WHATEVER the place I visit needs (2 fold) within the budget, there are to be no
questions (besides the “what application do you need this for so I can look for
something better or cheaper”) I’m always to were the credentials either on my
belt, waist, or neck visible to all when in the “workplace” also I cannot have
outside food when in the workplace I can order from the approved list or break
room dinner(?) ok so kind of sneaky but whatever. Phone, tablet or laptop must
always use the given network (even my personal phone) oh and so long “personal
phone” now I got updated to whatever phone you want , “use you sim card but
stick to our rules” was also noted (fine by me).
I will post a pic of the credential on Tuesday if I can, too
bad till know I don’t get a free bike or car.
So continuing, any social media is approved but no level 3
or higher personal names (I wonder what my level will be) are to be posted, any
post related to the employers name or work will be motive for termination (you
think so? It’s not my first NDA).
All media player are to be either provided by the company OR
tethered to a company device or network… does this mean I can pick a phablet
with a big memory and put all my music and pics there? I wonder if the IT guys
can let me use cyanogen on my phone or they will use a custom [EMPLOYER NAME
REDACTED] ROM, some other rules state more personal stuff I apparently can do
some are “encouraged” but some are not, no blog tomorrow (Sunday) I want and
need to spend time with the family as much as possible before I get cracking on
the new job!
Hope the things are a vodka bottle and some chips
I like Saturdays, I can wake up at 8, have breakfast home or
somewhere with the girls & my wife and when they go grocery shopping and
other things with their grandma I can stay home alone and watch TV, read a
book, clean the house (yeah so what) or keep going with the German lessons
(still a noob but hey I’m learning let me be).
I keep thinking about the job offer, I haven’t see the weird
colored guys/things since Thursday, maybe it’s for the best (and it is),why
after so much struggle just trying to look for a normal, common buyer job I
finally get one and best of it pays like I did more than just buy things. I
called my brother and sister (note to self: call mom on Monday) I think next
week maybe the last I see them or they hear from me for a while, I don’t really
care were I get sent as long as I get paid but knowing I can’t just call them
up and say “come on over for supper “is kind of sad…
Some one called me asking which countries I had visited, I think
it was the Russian guys from the interview, besides the US none (fuck so much a
good impression), said it was ok and he would send some things “just in cake
you think of signature the paper” like a gift basket to get me to sign? YAY
free stuff, of course I’m going to sign just let me tell my boss and I will
sign the same day if not today!
