  • So through talking here and in talking to friends in what’s left of the real world, I’ve decided moving to Oregon with my friends might be a healthy choice for me. There are a few obstacles I need to overcome first though.

    First, I need to have a job ready for me.

    Second, debt consolidation fucked my credit rating harder than I thought it would. I’m at 592 now, down from 806! Won’t finding a landlord with that rating be difficult?

    Third, I have to fund relocating across an entire country.

    So one step at a time. I need to find a job where I’m going. I have IT helpdesk experience and have been the go to computer guy for years in my area, especially with the elderly crowd. (I have most of them on Linux now since it REALLY fucks with scammers and lets them get more life out of older equipment.) Currently I’m doing call center medical insurance work from home but I can’t take the job with me. I’ve worked for a few places, including a county IT job where I completely changed their process for deploying new systems and put them way ahead of schedule. I’m adaptable and good with people and just really want to make things better for people. Coworkers like me. Customers adore me. I need to find a way to channel that into a job on the other side of the country.

    Anyone know a guy?





  • It depends on the company. My mother and father hate my humor. I rock the boat too much for them. My siblings like it. My friends like it. Employers hate it.

    Basically I have a problem with the concept of “sacred cows” and that upsets some people. I can disagree, I can even mock, but no matter what it should always be acceptable to discuss a topic. But others see that as rocking the boat and they are uncomfortable.
