Current mood:  disappointed
So kids... Here I sit BORED to death.
I'm still in California.
In case you were wonder what there is to do out here on a thursday night.... I'm wondering the same thing.
The smell out here is overpowering. I find myself checking my shoes for cow shit everywhere I go. I think they spray cow shit on everything out here. The closest farm is about 20 miles away, but we're stuck in a valley, and the stench just BREWS in the heat. The mountains are beautiful, and they just got a fresh covering of snow at the peaks. I might go snowboarding this weekend. Depends on how I feel on Sunday.
So far it looks like I drove 2500 miles to work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
That must be what I smell out here.
BULLSHIT.
I came here to make money. I can work 40 hours at home. WTF am I doing here, so far away from the people I love? I didn't come out here just to visit California. My cousin lives in San Diego... I would go visit him if I wanted to come out here.
The people I've been installing service for have been some of the nicest people I've ever met... the people I'm working with... totally opposite.
Most of our employees in this area are DICKS!! The field techs seem pretty cool, but the fat asses in the offices and call centers need to put down the doughnuts and be thankful they have jobs.
One lady told one of the other techs from Tampa.." I heard you Florida guys are slow." Oh yeah hunny??  Well I heard you California people are ASSHOLES!!
I'm definately not happy here. I could NOT live here. I also see a possible career change in my near future. I'm not impressed at all.
So far what I'm getting for comming out here is 35.00 a day in per diem, which is also being taxed, (I've always been told that per diem was not taxable) just enough to push me into a higher tax bracket, so that without overtime, I'm making less money.
What was the benefit for coming out here again???
Oh yeah... they're really busy out here.
or something.
I got more overtime at home.
Maybe this trip will get cut short.
I can only dream.
 
Have a good night!!!

Hey, sorry we haven't hung out yet - this week's been way too busy and birthday/valentines day consumed most of last weekend! So it looks like we're hangin out this weekend if you're not working. We're going to have to slightly alter your opinion of SoCal. I don't smell cowshit...you must be in a crappy area.
Pomona you said?
Anyway, just let me know what your schedule looks like - maybe we'll go grab a beer or something! Talk to you soon!

How long are you there? I'm not a big fan of California either.
They've got nothing on FLA!!

That sucks. I hope things change, or that you at least start taking advantage of what you can. Snowboarding would be good.
=)
