Can't Sleep

Gotta love Prednisone. I can't sleep. I can't get comfortable. I'm sore. Maybe this will go away though. I hope.

It has been a long time....

Current Mood: discontentdiscontent
Now I'm not saying that I'm going to be posting like crazy, but I thought I should update at least a little. Honestly, I think that anyone who might still look at my journal knows what is going on with my life. If not, brief overview:

*Fired from Conn's Appliances without cause.
*Had to move back in with the mother-in-law due to the above item.
*Samantha the cat passed away.
*Got myself deeper and deeper into debt.
*Major health issues.

I guess a lot of it is bad....there are some good things. My wife, our new dog Zoey. I have lots of neat gadgets. I am building a pond for our turtles. It isn't all bad. Sometimes it is just hard to see past the bad stuff. That has been difficult for me lately...I was fired from the only job I was ever any good at, and without any real reason...just because a higher-level boss didn't like me. I really defined myself by that job...was there (baring my health hiatus) for about 2 years. Hell, my screen name on various places became ApplianceDude!!! Sure, sometimes I hated it...but sometimes I loved it. Sometimes, I couldn't wait to go to work. Now, I'm a bum...sitting at home, trying to get unemployment, digging a giant hole in the ground. Feels like a metaphor for my life. I think I might actually be having a little nervous breakdown. I hope things get better.

Use it or lose it

The wife says I should either update this journal or delete it. I say, so what? Maybe I don't feel about blathering on about my life! I've spent years doing that. Hell, I used to tell people I didn't even know about my bad sex life. I've ranted plenty.

I'm sure I'll rant again. But I've been too caught up in life to sit down and talk about it. That's normal, right? I don't see that changing, but I figure I'll give anyone who doesn't know the reader's digest version of the happenings.

1. I am married. Stacy is my wife. We = happy.

2. I have moved back to McAllen, TX with my wife. We're living with her mom at the moment so that she can go back to school. It's not bad, believe it or not...we all get along really well. And I don't feel like a huge failure cause, hey, I'm supporting my wife while she continues her education.

3. I work at Conn's. I sell appliances. It's good. I make decent money.

4. I made a large poop. It was this big.

5. Our cat Samantha is still a Satan Kitty.

Married!!!

Posted on 2007.03.02 at 08:07
Stacy and I are now married! We're very happy, even though our day was filled with a string of bad luck. Our witnesses were late, which I suppose is forgiveable. :) After that, we decided to go to a mall in Auburn Hills which is really nice. On our way, we hit a patch of ice on the highway. We spun in a circle 3 times while going 70 miles an hour and flew into a ditch. The car only suffered minor injuries that were easily repaired, but Stacy and I are both a little banged up. I have a concussion and my right shoulder is pretty messed up. Stacy got off lucky with just a rib and neck injury that Tylenol can take care of.

Even though all that happened, still very happy with my new bride and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. :D

Just a little tidbit....

Posted on 2006.12.23 at 22:22
Me and Stacy are engaged! Got her a pretty ring, got down on one knee, and popped the question. :D

By the way, she said yes.

Very, very awesome. In only 8 selling days, I sold 5 cars! For the month of december, that is downright amazing...I'm 3 ahead of EVERYONE else at that store. I fully plan on taking the lead in sales every single month, and I'm definetly proving I can do that. The way the pay scale goes, the more you sell compared to everyone else, the higher your comission. First place always gets the highest commission...and I'm in first place. I never thought I'd make a good car salesman, but I am loving it...I think I've finally found my calling.

My new life in a nutshell

Posted on 2006.12.02 at 13:02
I know I said I wasn't going to post here again. Honestly, I figured that nobody was interested and that I was too busy to bother...and well, neither of those are completely true. So here's the scoop on what's been going on in my life...it may cover some previous topics that I've covered before, but it'll give you an idea on what's going on in my life.

Me and Stacy are living together. That's pretty awesome. We're still getting used to each other, but so far I'd count this as my most successful and enjoyable relationship ever. :D We're not living at that first apartment anymore; it was MAJORLY ghetto, and the landlord didn't even bother keeping the place up to code, so I got them for violation of the lease and had it revoked so we could move out.

We found a better place; not ghetto, but unfortunetly the people who live above us are a touch ghetto...parties every weekend. And they're buddy buddy with the landlord, so nothing ever comes of our complaints. Eh, this is life...seems you can never escape ghettoness, no matter how much you're paying in rent. Still, the new place is very nice: covered parking, lots of cabinet space in the kitchen, large living room, in-wall drawers, and lots of closet space. Plus, we have our own storage unit, where I've got a bunch of our crap stashed. And it's not embedded in the craphole part of town, so that's a plus.

I quit Wilson's Leather. Not on a whim, mind you...I'm not that dumb. A couple of months ago, I had a recruiter for Harold Ziegler Auto Group call me up. Evidently, he'd found my resume on careerbuilder.com and thought I'd be a great fit for the JD Byrider store in Lansing. I figured I should give it a try; I've always wanted the opportunity to work on comission, because I know I could make some serious money...and someone just came up and offered that opportunity to me. So I quit Wilson's and started at JD Byrider in mid-October. So far, it's been really great! I never thought I'd be a used car salesman, but as it turns out, I'm pretty good at it. Average sales for your first month: 2-4 cars. I sold 6, and had several deals that could get financed in the next month or two with very little work. It's an amazing feeling...and I'm making more money than I ever have. Admittedly, as far as comissions go, this is probably on the lower end of most car dealerships, but there's the potential to make 40,000 or more a year. Considering the most I've ever been paid is 10 dollars an hour, that's nothing to sneeze at. My first month, I made 2500 dollars before taxes, and that was in training, only selling 6 cars! Plus, they offer massive spiffs to earn extra money. This month, if we sell 5 cars each between now and the 9th, I earn an extra 500 dollars! Last month, I earned over 500 dollars in spiffs. There's the potential to make a lot of money and I like that. Tax season is gonna be awesome...average income during tax season is around 20 grand!

By the way, if you don't know what JD Byrider is...we do special financing for people with bad credit, no credit, repossessions, bankruptcy, etc.

We also got a cat...Samantha. She's funny. She plays fetch. More Updates Later! :D
