just wow?

So, lately I've gotten a few job interviews all over the place. One that I wrote about earlier, that of the tech center job in Maitland ... Well, they called me back as they had some more openings. Unfortunately I won't know until possibly Tuesday, if I got chosen or not.

I've also finished the course on insurance sales, so am now able to take the state exam for my license ...

On other fronts, my Minecraft classic server seems to be doing well enough... almost 1k unique visitors so far ... of course, there's also about 100 or so that were banned for being jerks to other people's builds.

I have to stare sometimes at my playtime on XFire ... that of NO GAMES PLAYED IN THE LAST 7 DAYS ... yes, that's right... nothing logged. But, how is that? Well, two things, one ... I've been busy with trying to solid in a job; second, I've decided to give FlyFF another shot. Unfortunately, with the nProtect anti-cheat stuff they have going on, and the fact that I'm running a 64 bit OS, it locks up some stuff... notably of course, XFire ... also, my keyboard software for it's LCD display and macro keys. So, while I have been playing stuff, it's just not clocked.

The last time I played FlyFF was when it was in version 7 ... I'd slowly started going away from it back then and had started with Gpotato's "Space Cowboy" ... when they lost their rights to run Space Cowboy, I went back to FlyFF for a short time, and it was just starting into version 9 ... but I quickly went away and found other games ... Anywhos, FlyFF is now in version 15, about to be version 16. They've added a lot of things, changed a lot of things, brought some stuff back from version 7 (only largely changed), added a TON of events, oh, and subsiquently, gotten a LOT of RMT people ... in case you don't know what that is ... it's Real Money Trading, and technically is against the terms of service agreements. Many of these end up being scams so that they can steal your account, but in the end, it's still against the rules.

Oh well, time to do some stuff around the house now...

JOY!

Ok, so, here's the dealio as to what's been going on lately.

I FINALLY got to have my kidneys checked out ... took 'em long enough. Turns out, I have MULTIPLE kidney stones, in both kidneys ... FUN. Now I'm waiting on an appointment to see a urologist about getting them broken up.

I've passed my pre-study course for the insurance professional bit, which is cool. Now I just have to get a test date, and pass the state exam.

Of course, just when I finished the pre-study final test, I get a phone call. At first I thought it'd be like a "congratulations" thing, but it ended up being a call about a job interview. See, that job I wrote about for the tech support thing that was to be for $13/hr? ... yea the one that filled all the positions the day before my interview. That's who it was, they were doing another hiring session and wanted to get me in on the first wave out of respect of where I was before LOL. So, here I am, with the potential to have two jobs ... one would be making me major money if I can get it down immediately ... while the other will be at least some money at the start, but not really go anywhere more than likely. I'm going to take the insta-money job if they accept me ... and see if the major money job will either take me part-time, or wait a couple months for me to get some money at least for Christmas (seeing as if I were to start today with the insurance thing, their next training isn't until the end of the month anyway ... and then I'd only be able to start selling next month, and the first paycheck (IF I sell anything) wouldn't be until the month after that ... so yea ... new years LOL) ...

In the mean time, I'd gotten rather hooked on doing the Minecraft thing ... so much so that I was building on one server so much and having such great fun, I'd applied to get a 'rank up' on their forums ... lo and behold I was belittled and told to go away. So I did ... and I made my own server! ... the last two days it got so busy that I ended up having to make forums up for it, and I'd banned almost 120 people in 2 days! ... crazy ... Luckily I've got a guy that has been around from the start that has helped immensely and is basically my right-hand person right now. Either way, it's stressful! Oh well, they're having fun.
