Day 2 in the books, and all is well.

After a sleepless night on Sunday, I began the new job.  Lots of paperwork in the morning, HR stuff, then I get to my cube, standard cube, across from the boss, they have a welcome sign for me, and a little paper sheet up that let’s everyone know that I am new, and to come say Hi to me, which is the kiss of death, countless funny guys roll by saying, ‘Hi New Guy’, luckily that has died down after one day.  A quick training meeting, and my first day was basically done, oh wait, and lunch the best part of the day, was taken out by the group to a great restaurant, America’s.  I had the mixta, beef, chicken, and shrimp over rice, tasty.  All in all, the first day was a 100% better than I thought it would be or what I had worked up in my mind.

Day 2 begins - Company is still experience some email trouble which causes a burden on just about everyone, except me since I really have nothing else going on, one weird side note here, apparently I was added to the email list about 2 weeks ago, so on Day 1 when I opened up my Inbox, I had over 400 emails, quite shocking, but has proven to be helpful because I am able to look back at the previous weeks and kind of get a feel for what they have been dealing which on a weekly basis, although I have no clue of server names, where these emails are coming from, and who is sending them, I have the ability to kind of put a puzzle back to together, which is a welcome break from reading the Employee’s Manual.  Have another meeting, this time ot decide on a work schedule, I go with 9-6, but will be changing that to 8:30 - 5:30, and settle on a 9 day / 80 hours schedule that will allow me to be off every other Friday, which I am extremely excited about.  Another afternoon meeting which I have no clue what it is about but got to kind of see everyone in action, so again its helpful from a viewing standpoint.  Got to witness a Gangland style War between my department and the apparently the department that installs servers, that was fun to watch everyone get heated about, and see how my department views other departments and hear a little gossip about everything.  Favorite part of work this far, my department loves to nickname other people outside of the department based on their appearance or other unflattering reasons, like there is a Big Nasty, a Green Mile, and Big Country, along with a Captain Amazing.  All in all Day 2 is another success, and I am feeling great about my decision.  Now will start to come the good stuff, actual work, which after some training, will be more to update about.

Guys, sorry about the lack of updates, once I settle into everything, I will get back on schedule, thanks for the encouragement, and the support

Tomorrow is the day, as I get ready for a sleepless night, excitement, nervousness, worry, and the great unknown control my every thought.  After 7 years, today I go to a new job for the first time, I’m like a kid going to from Elementry to Junior High.  Clothes all lined up and ready to be placed on, gas tank half filled (enough to get me there), and I am currently awaiting a hair trimming by the hothairdresser.  9 am, tomorrow, I will update all tomorrow night.  Fingers crossed.

Johnny Paycheck said it oh so long ago, and it still fits today.  Does anyone remember that time in the 80’s when they made movies out of songs, that was a strange time.  For the record Robert Hays starred in this movie if you want to look it up.  Plus Take This Job and Shove It, sounds better than The End of The Road by Boyz 2 Men to me right now.  Although this is my ‘last day’ at RBC, I will be working tomorrow to help finish up a project, worked out a deal for that, benefits both me and the company.   But this is it, 7 years, down the drain, must start all over now, learning new things, new people, new company, and most importantly, new driving conditions.  But I am excited, and looking forward to what comes my way.   Thanks for listening to me bitch and moan the last few weeks, I’m excited to be able to update on something new starting on the 30th, I will try to get to the site next week, but I am off and have many things planned, like laying around, playing 360, playing golf, drinking beer, and probably doing the yard.

Until then peeps, here are few videos

Hello everybody, sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, I was dealing with a deadly combination that caused intestinal strife. 

1 Part Sushi (Crab, Shrimp, Salmon, and California Roll)

1 Part Szechwan Chicken

Not recommended

So I am one day away, one day from being gone, but I did work a side deal, there is a project going down on Saturday that I was a part of, so I worked out something with the company to be here Saturday to help them out.  Of course in turn it helps me out financially.  Win - Win.  Today I will be in and out, taking Young Lord Greyson to the doctor before the insurance runs out, then I am going to try to watch Monday’s Weeds, I’m excited to see where the new season is headed, after last seasons cliff hanger.

Word on the street, my company wants to make a counter offer today, I will keep everyone posted on that as well.

Peace out Peeps

OK, so I know if you are reading this after the reading the headline, you are hardcore, so I too will switch into Geek mode.

Wash the taste of the Ang Lee Hulk movie out of your mouth, we have a real HULK movie.  Yesterday I left early to scoop with the J.A.X. and head over to the flicks and catch the 3:30, luckily Tiger finished perfectly on time, as we left the house and got the tickets just as the previews finished and right before the awesome MARVEL came across the scene.  I didn’t know what to expect, I had gotten several great reviews of the flick from some friends, Russell called me as he left the movie because he had to tell someone how good it was.  A little background about the Hulk and my love for him,  when I was 7 or 8, I was the Hulk for halloween, and I mean I was the HULK, painted my body green, tore me some pants, and shirt, I was pumped to be the Hulk, he something terrible happened, about half way down the second street, a bubble formed in my stomach, pain shot through me, and then the unspeakable happen, I shit myself.  Some crazy sickness attacked me on the greatest holiday for an 8 year old, the gods must have been angered that I was such a kick ass Hulk, needless to say I had to head home, shit splatered, and crying, my grandfather consoled me, he knew I was pumped up for this day, but still he picked through my candy and ate all the tootsie rolls nonetheless.  I was sick the next few days, and by that time, halloween and Hulk movie, the world no longer has to remember Eric Bana and Ang Lee’s Hulk, we now have Ed Norton, and he was glorious.  Not to ruin anything about the movie, starts off with Banner in self exiled away from General Ross and his love Betty, with 170 days since his last outbreak.  He is still working on a formula to cure his mutation, but is having little to know success, but he has hope, and this is where I will need the treaser.   Go see the flick, its worthy of your money and Marvel is 2 for 2 this summer, and they just keep on teasing us with more and more, my comic boner waits, than you Marvel.

Come to find out, work is a lot less stressful when you have announced your resignation.   Sure it’s uncomfortable at times, like the fact that my boss hasn’t spoke one sentence to me all week minus the meeting to give him my letter and the meeting to hear his counter proposal.  For whatever reason people begin to look at you in one of 2 ways, the first as an enemy, as a loyal minion that has somehow pulled a Cold War Double Agent move and backstabbed the nation they love, its true, I did lie and fake sickness in order to interview and ultimately get the job that I deserve, but at no point did I compromise my current work in the process.  The second way people look at you, is the same way a lost kitten looks at you, big swelling eyes, as if to say, ‘please, please take me, I hate the others, I hate this place, they beat me with bamboo canes, my nuts are in a vice as we speak, I can’t last any longer without food, if it wasn’t for the medical I too would have been gone a long time ago.’  This is by far my favorite look, this look makes you realize that you did the right thing, the fact that there are so many unhappy faces, and I’m like a lighthouse shinning brightly to point them to the way of freedom, basically in a nut shell, I am the Northern Star.  I started this site as RunOutTheClockSituation to describe the work day, it meant that you just needed to do enough work to get you to 5 pm, now it has taken on a new meaning, ROTCS now is the time between resignation and the final day of the 2 week notice process, I am on day 4, long ways to go, but its thoroughly entertaining to arrive about 30 minutes late each day and take as long of a lunch as you like, its like walking on water, or being a lion tamer.

Finally, The Tundra Has Come Back to……. Eric  (crowd goes nuts)

After 3 months of pain, my truck has a shinny new bumper.  Here is end to the story from last week.  So after getting continued resistance from my non english speaking rear ender, I used the ole threating with a lawsuit technique.  Naming dropping the only lawyer I know Daniel Reid, I strong armed the asian, and forced his hand by pushing all the chips to the center.  After some more run around, he finally agreed to pay, 1,030 bones, over 300 bones more than if he would have paid it 2 months ago.  Karma is a bitch, he’s asian he should have known that.   But once again the Tundra is on the street, rolling, and I couldn’t be happier, after 3 days of driving the 1999 Maxima, I remember how fond I was of my truck, and taller.
