My imitation of life

It's hard to gather the motivation to post here much these days. First, all I do is go to work, and nothing interesting happens there. Second, when I get home from work, I'm usually beat. Anyway, an update has been promised and so it shall be delivered.

Speaking of work, though I tend to complain about it, I feel fortunate to have my job still. As some of you may or may not know, Sprint recently bought Nextel, and is in the process of merging personnel and technology and networks and all that jazz. There is apparently a new VP somewhere along the line, and this person decided that the partnership program (my job) was no longer necessary. So overnight, it was axed, nationwide. I spent a few days last week scrambling around, trying to find another job, ANY job, as soon as I could. One of the Sprint store managers wanted me to come in and take "the Sprint test," a personality/aptitude test that everyone who works at the stores takes, just in case an opening became available in the future. Since I've pwned standardized tests since I was but a wee lad, I dominated it and got one of the highest scores they've seen. Consequently, the regional sales manager told me to attach myself to that store and to continue looking for and working the outside events. It'll have to be low-key, as they're trying to keep me on the DL until the merger goes through, but I still have a job at least.

I think I commented on this last year at this time, but this is one of the slowest, boring-est times of the year with regard to sports. There's nothing but baseball. Baseball is cool and all, but it just doesn't fulfill quite like football. Thankfully NCAA 06 comes out in July, otherwise I might start watching people play poker on TV. Though I did download this sweet program on my work phone that lets me listen to live radio broadcasts of MLB games through the phone. Sweeeeeeeet.

I've got more on my mind, but I don't quite feel like getting into it yet. I think I'll just play my guitar instead. Take care folks.
