I'm getting extremely anxious to go.  Just recently, I found a job opening in corporate for a Tech.  Just a couple of months ago, there was a job opening for the same position, except the fact that it was a temp job.  I tried to get a transfer into the position, with the permission of my boss JB.  The recruiter called after looking over the email and resume that I sent him...telling me that my resume looks really good, and that being A+ certified would help..  However, he thinks its better for me to wait until a permanent tech position is available before I try to transfer.  After all, he doesn't want me to end up being jobless due to a transfer for a job that's only gonna last a couple months.  So he gave me his email address and told me to send him an email once I find that there's a Tech IV job available that's permanent. 

So here I am, I found it, sent him my resume again, and even had JB write an actual evaluation.  After a week with no response, I figured I'd take some initiative and find the phone number to corporate office, and to take the evaluation and drive it up to deliver to Corporate myself.  I call the number and ask the Machine to redirect me to the guy's name.  The name is recognized, but the phone just rings a couple times and it takes me to his voicemail.  After a couple days of calling.  One day at work, I found myself at the turning point of my quest for the transfer.  We had a POS issue with Boost.  The POS terminal said "Contact Tech support if problem persists", so guess what i did?  So I call Tech support, and talked to a guy named Will.  While he was trying to resolve the issue, I asked him about the recruiter.  Apparently, this guy is pretty popular, everyone in tech support has talked to him and know him by name. Haha,  after I tell him that I'm having trouble getting in contact with him.  Will tells me to try and get hold of a live operator and have him or her patch me through to the guy. 

So the next morning, that's exactly what I did, after talking to the robot in trying to get to the operator, the Robot finally patches me through to "someone who can further assist" me.  The operator! Yay!  After briefly asking for the Recruiter, she transfers me through... and I finally reach the guy!  I talk to him for a bit, he remembers me, and tells me to fax him the internal transfer application,  and asked whether I have sent my resume yet.  He said they'll be looking through the applicants next week.  And he'll give me a call.  Oh boy, am I excited or what!?

My current job, this week however, has been insane.  It feels like everyday there's something going on.  Although i am grateful for what happened this Tuesday!  Monday, I spent hours processing wireless swaps (no commission, just a crap load of work), Tuesday was chill except the problems with Boost... Today, I had to diffuse a situation with a customer, who was really upset that someone messed up his order and sold him a repair plan rather than a replacement plan... But I successfully saved the day, and he walked out a happy man.  I think that qualifies my exemplary customer service skills.. I wonder what my colleagues would have done if they were in my position today.  In actuality, the incident left me scared.  It has been a long time since someone demanded something with so much hate and anger [the day I got robbed at gun point].  I felt my fingers and voice tremble as I apologized for being unable to issue a refund at the moment, and promised to make the best effort in getting his product repaired quickly.  Atleast, he left without trying to shoot me or something... smh...  I hope this crazy week ends with me transferring sometime. 

JB and Team 8198 has been quite an experience, I hope I'll be able to blog about the amazing things I've learned...  But I won't blog about it until I'm outty however, and I'm not gonna count my chicken before it hatches.

Yesterday, I spoke to one of my temple buddies at school.  And he was pretty much asking me for tips on working out and losing weight.  I guess I became a bit of a phenomenon at temple.  And everywhere I go where people has known me in the past [don't mean to sound cocky].  It's pretty inspiring, how something that I do for myself, can influence other people.. I guess it's like a rippling effect?  No, that's not quite it.. it's something else.  But that's not the point, my point is that it's inspiring to me when people ask me how I was able to achieve my goal this year.

I really want to put the emphasis of this post in those who are inspiring me to continue on achieving my goals.  I find myself blessed to be surrounded by so many GREAT people in life.  And no, I'm not talking about my family members, I have already revealed how super awesome they are.  This one goes out to my friends out there who inspire me to work hard in achieving my goals.

I guess the first one goes to the one who really helped inspire me to work hard in school.  It's kinda funny.  Yen, she's like a little sis.  And although she's been missing from temple lately, we still talk on aim.  She's SUPER STUDIOUS and stays up all night doing homework, and studying.  It's madness!  She encourages me to do my homework and I remember her whenever I get lazy and I don't feel like studying.  And go Sushi!

Skinny boy Dillard taught me the art of long distance running.  He's probably my first real friend since I moved to Duncanville, right now he's schooling over at Trinity University in San Antonio.  He always encouraged me from the beginning to run and get in shape.  Always up for a workout, whether it be, tennis, running, swimming, or even mind-battles (inside joke).  If it wasn't for this dude, I'd probably have a harder time losing those pounds.  Dillard, I MISS YOU!  Get your ass down here, and let's kick it!

Anh Phong.  He has literally been around temple for years and have recently taken a leave of absence last summer due to internal issues at temple.  Nevertheless, he practically has been around for me at temple since I started up there.  I remember when I bleached my hair, and almost got kicked out of temple.  Anh Phong pleaded with the Co Van to let me participate at temple, and that I'll fix my hair back the following week...  He's also saved my behind as well as all the other guys multiple times.  I miss him a lot.  But his determination for the organization is one of the things that keeps me staying around so long despite all the mess that's going around right now.



Alex, the gayest one out of all of em (n00bs = Alex, John, Ali, Pants) definitley refused to let hung used one, even though alex doesnt do shit and cant do shit anyways. hell, Looks like im gonna have to explaint hese noobs. I don't have a problem with Pants, a good, nice, calm guy. John comes next, he's a good chap, sometimes he does dumb shit though. Ali, he's pretty dumb, But he's not a total shit though, hes a Cool guy but tries way too hard. Alex, is a total fag. I swear man, he holds one of the lowest ranks in mua lan, yet he acts like hes the star of the show. Can he be more gay? actually yea, and he is!  the hoe is stupid than shit, doesn't know what he's doing.  And  this one time, he  tried to fight me, lol funny than a bitch, I kind of got carried off... ooh well.

I wrote that a LONG TIME AGO.  Around the time I just met him, but boy things have changed!  He's probably one of the guys that I respect more than I show!  Cause he's tuff!  There's also something that's ironic about my comment about him, I called him gay... and he's actually gay today!  And there's haters out there who talk trash but Chanel never lets it get to him.  But one of the most inspiring thing is his skill in gymnastics and dance.  He's EXTREMELY flexible, and so I have to give mad propz in that.  He's also really determined in his skills and practices almost daily.  Honestly, I think I may have found me another hero (no homo hahaha).

I think that's my schpeel (sp?) for the day.  I'm tired and worn out from all the HIIT training I've done all week.  But I think I'm going back for more.  Plus today is 300 day.  I hope I don't get caught holding my ass in pain, and limping around due to my sore thighs...  LOL
