I know i haven't been blogging too often, but i finally have a few things to write about, so here i am.
First off, I got a job at Findlay Acura in Henderson, NV. I'm pretty excited about the opportunity, the people there seem nice and hopefully it will work out. I don't like to jump around from store to store, so i'm hoping this is a match. I start tomorrow at 8 am. They are closed on sundays and alternate schedules....one week you work 8-6 and the next week from 11-8. Seems pretty fair. Really the only bad downside is the fact that its far away. It's 23 miles away and there is a lot of construction here, so realistically I'm looking at an hour and 15 minute commute each way.
Nevada is an odd state. In order to have a salespersons license, you have to have a nevada drivers license. So, i had to switch my license, get fingerprinted and get my sales license. Now i have to register the mercedes here. $1200 for license plates, and thanks to the rate of claims and uninsured drivers in Las Vegas, my car insurance is going to go from $623 for 6 months to $1858!!!!! And, my car payment will be going up since Nevada taxes lease payments at 8.75%. Bankruptcy anyone?
Next, as much as i hate to admit it, "blackout" by britney spears is awesome. make fun if you want, but that CD rocks. for the pop music genre, i don't think it gets much better than this.
Sascha had a tumor on her back leg, right at the joint where her leg bends. they did emergency surgery to remove it. shes had a rough time, whining and crying....she bled through her bandages so i had take her 3 days in a row to get re-bandaged. $1700 thank you very much. now i just wait for the pathology report. the vet was pretty straightforward and told me to expect the worst, but that they did get everything out.
My fucked up health insurance company (united healthcare, they can suck my balls), declined my emergency room visit from september. i had all the forms in place and the referrals done, but now the hospital wants $1924. I called and raised hell with the insurance co, so i'm now going to wait while they re-open the case.
Meanwhile, i needed to get a second phone. One with my main 202 number that i've had for 8 years that im going to keep as my personal phone, and then one with a local 702 number to put on my business cards. So, i ported my 202 number to a new iphone and got a 702 number transferred to my razr.
I was promised that the iphone is tough and difficult to break. I managed to have it for all of 36 hours before i dropped it glass down on the tile floor and shattered it. Luckily i put it on my american express card, and they give you 90 days accident insurance on purchases. So i have to fill out the forms and send in the dead iphone and they are going to credit my account. I have to say, out of all of my credit cards, AMEX has always provided the best service by far.
So, thats really all for now. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that the new job goes well. Now I need to try to reschedule my workout routine since im going to be working a full time job, and previously i was going to the gym from 2-330p every day. Im not sure if my trainer can work with me at night....if not, i'll have to try someone else. i desperately need to get into shape. I had to buy size 46 jackets and size 40 dress pants. out of nowhere my weight has skyrocketed to 221. a year and a half ago i weighed 155. so not cool.
Alright, im really done for now. will write more when i have time.
cheers
