I Got a Raise at Work, Kinda

So as it stands, I’m the only tech at my shop and my manager does not plan to hire anyone else for the time being.  He has trusted in me that I can do all the jobs myself and pretty much take care of things around there with his assistance.  I do believe this is very possible but surely I am taking on a much bigger load than I am used to.

It is both good and bad.  I no longer have anyone to cover for me if I am no longer able to open the shop.  That’s one of the bad things about this.  Two is that if we do get back logged and I am unable to complete all of the units that come in, we’re going to have upset clients.  We do not want upset clients.  But when I look at things from my perspective such as basically this is a raise in pay.  Things I guess, even themselves out.

I’ve been telling myself that I’ve been wanting a hire paying job.  With a hire paying job ANYWHERE, there is obviously going to be added responsibilities since I am being paid more.  Well, here it is, in front of my face, I am going to take it on full force, 100%.  No turning back now, I think.  My manager said we’ll give it a try and see how it works.  I do feel he has put his 100% faith in me that I can do this and I do have 100% faith that I can do it as well.

I just don’t want to fail anyone, or myself.  I don’t think I will and I will try to keep a positive outlook each and everyday that I go in to my job — like I’ve already been doing.

Anyway, all is well and I hope you all have a beautiful day.  I will be taking one summer course this summer, it will be an online summer course and it does have to do with my major, Computer Science.  This is one class that is needed for my Associate Degree in Computer Science.  It should be easy as cake but I’m not sure yet.  I’ll keep you all updated as usual.

Iran Threatening Israel

“We will definitely resist … U.S. B-52 (bombers).”

Reading this news article over at Yahoo News makes me laugh.  Iran is delusional, just as delusional as that secretary of news over in Iraq.  The same guy who said while we were in the midst of over taking that entire country that the USA was not there and that we were just a figment of people’s imagination.  LOL.

I guess these guys need to blow smoke up their asses in order to rally support but give me a fucking break.  You are not going to own us, Israel or anyone else for that matter.  Now I do not agree with this war if it does take place but I don’t believe we will have any trouble with Iran.

I do feel for Israel as they are the ones who may be hit the hardest after the first few weeks or war since they are directly near Iran.  I just don’t know, all of this over nuclear production.  On one hand I do think Iran is preparing or could be preparing to create some type of nuclear weapon and use it on Israel.  The president of Iran has been quoted saying that he would like Israel wiped off the face of the map and that Israel is not a real country or does not exist.  Isn’t this the same guy who claims that the holocaust wasn’t real or didn’t happen?  I think these guys smoke way too much opiates.  They need to take a step back and realize what they’re doing.  So do we but at the same time and argument, these guys are the very ones who are threatening national security.
