I love your eyes and your smile. It's great to be in love with you!

Paging back and forth was a mess. As it turned out, I got to rip out a bunch of code.
VB has a DateAdd("m",-1,mydate) function that manipulates dates very nicely.
Finding these functions is a pain without a manual or online help.

He's 1/4th of the reason we came up. The reason definitely wasn't money.
My reasons for coming out here were
- Health Insurance

- See the East coast and get out of Las Vegas
- Fix up my Resume with current activity

- Hang with Mikey, because he's one of the few friends I have left.
Oh well, if he goes to San Francisco and works full time, maybe he'll be able to pull me in. That would be nice.
San Francisco now seems stained though, since Skip died there.

Here in Florida, the Tax Collector takes care of vehicle license plates, and there's not many of them around.
To make things worse, they're only open 8:30am to 5:00pm., the hours I work.
So, I HAVE TO TAKE TIME OFF, and that sux.
Becky and I went to Tony Roma's last night. Man, that food was very good, and reasonably priced.
We also swung by Walmart to pick up a sheet, table, and clock. Much needed stuff.

And I don't get something in Tampa, we should become truck drivers...what do you think?
We could have a little house near Ida...

** Smiles **

He's got an interview next Tuesday with a company in San Francisco. Yippee!!!
I think he's going through a headhunter named Kaiser.

You're logged on as me right now though...so it looks like I told me I love me....haha

I love you so much. I felt really bad about what you
said yesterday. I know you didn't mean what you said.

I know that you would ever leave me,we are too good
for each other. We love each other so much. I do miss
you when you are at work. It makes me feel good
when you call me. Today I'm doing laundry, watched
the movie Phatom of the Opera. Now I'm watching
ZZtop the music vidoes. I love this screen it is so cool.

 

 

 

 

                 Love you

                 Becky

I wanted Becky to overcome her fear of riding roller coaster's.
I told her an 8 year old that was riding this one coaster was braver than she was.
And then I told her if she didn't ride the coaster, she'd be on the next flight out to Vegas.
That makes me an asshole.

I don't know why I'd say something so cruel to someone as special as my sweet Becky.
I must be changing for the worst.
I don't like my job.
I don't like being poor again.
I don't like what the future is going to turn out to be if I stay in this situation.
I'm going to make a choice soon. It will be finishing LVDUDE or truck driving.
With either decision, I'll get to finish the condo and get some permanent income coming in.
None of the above is an excuse for saying what I said to Becky though. That was inexcusable.

Channel 8 in Las Vegas rewrote their website. It kind of looks like this one, which is scary.
LVDUDE has a very open format. There isn't anything else like it on the internet.
You can copy links, enter a personal blog and easily enter ads.
If I don't do something with this site in a year, the design will be worthless. So, I've got to keep trying to improve its looks and functionality. This is one of my opportunities to get rich. I must either finish it, or give it up.

The rides were great! We almost rode everything in 8 hours. A few of the rides were closed.
The worst thing that happened was when I ate a leg of turkey and the darned thing got stuck.
Man, that's painful. I kept riding the rides though. The pain lasted for two hours this time. sheesh.
We'd gotten what turned out to be an excellent deal on Universal Studios from Costco.
$64 for three months in either Universal Studios, or Universal Studio's Islands of Adventure.

The gate price for 1 day, 1 park is $54.

I've only been here three weeks, and it feels like I've been gone from Vegas for years.
I'm getting caught up in the day-to-day living. I may never know the answer to the what-if's I had.
What If: I'd finished this website instead of moving here?
Keep in mind, I wrote this program in a weekend---> http://www.lvshots.com/games/

What If: I'd gotten Rainbird to buy my A/C energy saver?
Would I have gotten rich?
As it stands now, I may never know.
6:00am - I get up  and  work on LVDUDE.COM for maybe an hour.
7:30am - I take a shower at 7:30am. 

8:30am - I'm at work.
6:00pm - I get home from work

6:30pm - I have to feed Becky and myself. 
10pm    - I'm in bed.
I'd estimated completing LVDUDE in about a month, working 10 hours a day on it.
As it stands, it'll take 10 months because I'm only working on it 1 hour a day.
My budget is tight, because I'm not making much money. It will be December before I break even from just moving.
In other words, I'm becoming just like everybody else. I'm losing my dreams of a better future.
I'm not controlling life. Life is controlling me. It's trying to drag me into its little pits of hell.
It's my belief, that when a man's dreams die, he loses his soul.
He becomes a robotic zombie, doing the same routine every day of his life, until his life is expunged.
Soon, I'll be balancing pennies in my checkbook, thinking I can't afford to take vacation time.
I'll be thinking I need this job and fearing these people are going to fire me.
I'll lose my feelings of self worth.
If I cared about this job, my esteem would have already been crushed.
I've got to keep site of this one thought: "I am somebody. I can change the world.".

And I think Becky and I both agree, it's pretty cool. The bedroom has a 12' projected TV screen on one wall, an air bed to lay on, and some fold up camp ground chairs (bright orange). It looks like a giant ate an M&M factory and puked furniture all over our apartment. So many colors.
We picked up some 1 park/3 month tickets for Universal Studio and Universal Adventure Island this after noon. They cost about $60 (a few more $$ than a one day ticket). What's confusing is, if its one park, how come they mention two parks on the box. Everyone says it like one park, but in different directions. Anyway, I think I read somewhere its 44 square miles, so, we will get lost without a map.

Did I tell you today how much I love you?
I LOVE YOU!!!

I got up and went out on the balcony to watch it. Across from us, three floors up, I saw a couple in their kitchen. They were moving funny.
SO, I got my binoculars. What happened next was a surprise for Becky.

They went to their balcony. He took off her pants and went down on her.
My binoculars by this time were zoomed in at maximum!!!
About then, I had to let Becky know.
When I went back out on the the balcony, they were still going at it like wild dogs!
She finally flopped off of him and back into her chair.
WHAT A COUNTRY!!!

It was 11:30pm here and we were sleeping. It's funny, because when I woke up, it felt like I'd slept for at least 6 hours.
They got a 99 Ford Escort for $1,000.
Now ain't that cool? He said the Blue Book on it was $2,000.

I could use one of those little go carts in this town.
They are getting a landline soon.
That'll be much better. I love cell phones, but they still cut out a lot when you're on speaker phone
Renee got kicked out of BADD
She wasn't bad though. Her toe was. It looks like they mainly want PYT's to spread the word.
She's moved in with Grandma, which, if my guess is right, she'll be kicked out of there pretty soon.
I'm guessing she never got her diploma or GED. She knows nothing about real work, and she's 20.
It'll be interesting to see what's going to happen with her.
I guess Robert and Sonny are the only two people in Las Vegas that miss us.
Noone else has called us out here from Vegas.
You'd think Grandma or Renee would have called us by now. They have free long distance.
That's pretty depressing when I think about it.
The people who call us are my Dad, Sonny, Robert, Ida (in Missouri) and Jeanette (in Sacremento).

They'll get nice Christmas presents this year...haha.

Hmmmm. It could even be a relief.
Jeff was working one of my previous projects. He merged my stuff into it, and I retested my stuff.
I was told that was a waste of time. I'm so confused. Either I'm supposed to test something to death, or I'm not.
I can't win here. I'm playing a loser's game.

Last night, Jeff, Becky and I went on a search to find cheap cigarettes.
We went all over looking for a smoke shop. One downtown was supposed to be duty free, but it was closed.
The businesses here must change frequently, because the phone book and online yellow pages aren't up-to-date.
I talked to Jamie and asked her to submit me to JP Morgan in Tampa.

It would mean a 25% increase in wages, so, I'd be crazy not to give it a shot.
At M2, there is absolutely no chance for bettering my position. They just barely recognize my existance.
Hanging out there is a daily grind of deadlines and one line changes. Its a good way to waste your life if that's what you want.
I'd be doing well to write a simple report. I think they'd think I'm to stupid to write a requester/server pair.
I had to increase a working storage field from PIC 9(8)V99 to PIC 9(9)V99 yesterday.
I increased it to PIC 9(16)V99.
I wanted to increase it to PIC 9(16)V99 COMP, but didn't dare to do it.
WHY? Because, when I increased it to 9(16), I was asked why I did that.
I said, so the field will never have to be increased again, and there was no reason not to.
If I comped it, it would be smaller than what they had to begin with.
So, improving anything is probably a mistake. They make their money by billing hours for petty changes.
If I were the owner, I might be thinking that not having to change the field again and again cost $$$ in billing hours.

All I have to do with my site is to make it look prettier, and to figure out the best way to make money with it.

It seems like it's pretty much good to go.
I need to test it for the kind of people who'll be using the site though.
They will be deep country folk, probably with dial up connection and low-computer skills.

I'm not using our internet connection because its being dominated.
The phone and cable I could care less about.
However, I picked up a wireless router at CompUsa on the way home.
Since the internet is down, I can't set it up.
Mikey said he'll set it up, SO, I'm going to let him.
Its not enough to just want something.
If you want something, but aren't willing to work for it, you must not want it very badly.
Besides, the router should set up easily.
I've done my transactions over the net...not the way I'd like to have done them...but at least their in.
So, I'm happy.

These two hour projects leave no time for anything extra.
I may be terribly misplaced at M2.
1) You have to fudge everything. They only think they have a test system.
2) You rarely see a screen that immulates production.
When I've set up test systems,
- They've had a whole day's worth of data that can be replayed, 
- A pathway system where a screen can be displayed and sent and a server can be debugged

Anything but entering raw data through notepad, then sending it through a program.
I'm back in the stone ages as far as work goes.

AND, I'm not going to get anytime to improve it.

The last hour of working in this quiet place just draaaaaaaaaaagggggggggssssssssssss on.

I wanna snore so bad.
I'm going to swing by and pick up a "D-Link DI 524 AirPlus G High Speed 2.4 Ghz wireless Router" on the way home.

With a name like that...it's gotta be worth $20...haha.

That's how I'd describe this trip.
People are either happy or crabby. They're sane or insane.
I'm both glad and sorry I came here.

My most recent pain is my roomie, who hasn't had wired internet in a long time.
He insisted on it before I even took off, and instead of getting wireless we got wired internet for ONE user.
That one user could have been my PC that could share the internet.
His laptop didn't even work using wired internet.
Wired internet is more difficult than wireless. Technology is working its way away from wiring codes.
I brought hardware that won't work. We have the WRONG cable modem.

 

By his expressing a desire to go backwards in time to a setup that everyone is getting away from,
I'm burning out trying to figure out if we can still do it and it's going to get expensive.
In other words:
- We have one internet connection.
- We are living in a apartment so we can't drill holes in the walls for wires.
- We don't have a shared internet connection device of any type unless its my PC that's setup for it.
- I don't think what he wanted can be done with out one.
I based my thoughts on being able to share a dedicated connection on Paul's cable modem.
It was probably designed for internet sharing, which is why he had an extra port on his bridge.
I'm having to connect to the internet through a connection we pay for,
I'm connecting though my neighbors internet connection. 
I'm doing it on a bar stool with my ass hanging out in the kitchen.
I rely on the internet for my finances and my knowlege. I spend at least 3 hours a day learning, and reading.
I almost never play games on it. I need this, my bills are back in Vegas, not here.
And I'm having to pray my neighbor doesn't move.
For this, I'm sorry we came. This internet is going to cost me dearly.
I get every day, and I write code for LVDUDE. Now I can't do that in comfort.
If I don't finish it, it'll cost me a lot money.
And LVDUDE is path for early retirement.

It's a great apartment. What isn't great is our furniture. I guess it's always best to buy furniture for the place you are moving into.
I'm hoping we'll finally get a chance to relax today.
They have a couple of pools, jacuzzi's, excersize rooms, and some gazebo's set up around the lake in back.

Ain't you 2 Becky?

After Monday, all I'll need is a small nudge. It won't take much. I need to read my contract.

I went to get some coffee.
Standing there next to the coffee pot and putting sugar in his tea was the second highest up guy, Dave.
I said with a smile: "HEY, YOU'RE DAVE. I'M JIM. I'M YOU'RE NEW PROGRAMMER!".
He said: "uh huh". I felt worse than if I'd farted in a plastic chair in church during prayer.
The guy didn't even offer me a handshake. He didn't even look at me.
Two people, ONLY TWO PEOPLE, have had the decency to give me eye contact when I first met them.
The grumpiness doesn't appear to be just in my group. 
Everyone in that building seems grumpy.
I hope that kind of courteousy doesn't rub off on me.
If I become that way, I'm joining Skip.
I hate when I miss the opportunity for making a new friend.
I've learned so much by being friendly.
We are social creatures. Until we learn to self replicate, our race can't survive outside of a colony.

I suggested an obvious change in M2's environment that would save time....
- They are logging on as someone else then back to themselves just to see a report.
- Instead of just making a simple change to allow programmers to see the reports they generate

.

And instead of fixing this obvious oversight, I get, nah...we're used to doing things a certain way.

So this is Tandem hell.
'We're used to beating our clothes with rocks to wash them.'  

Who am I to say the world could be a better place.
I'll make things better for myself then.
This version of Guardian has more security holes in it than I have pores on my face.

I swear though, there is no reason that people at work should be treated badly. That's just not right.
Life is too short to get caught up in someone else's personal hell.
I've got a lot of options open to me, and that's great!
I'd imagine most of the people at work don't even know they have options.
I'm always amazed at how so many people go through life without thinking about it.
They just go about everyday as if they were going to live forever.
When I get treated badly again, I'll just simply smile.
In my mind I'll say,
- "I know where you are coming from, because I've been there".
- "I know what your dreams are. You have none".
- "I know how you think. You haven't evolved much past the canine species."
- "I know, if you have kids, they love their GameBoy more than they love you. That's because you aren't fun."
- "And I know where you'll be in 10 years...right there at your desk."
And if whoever I'm talking to looks at me, maybe they'll realize that I'm free.
No one can predict where I'll be in 10 years.
And I certainly won't be letting someone else do my thinking for me.
This is my life, and I'll plan it myself.
There's only 36,000 days left till New Life's Eve.

- I'm working way below my caliber for more than half the pay I was to making at Mgm.
  If I was working for the money, this move would have be stupid.
- I haven't forgotten any of my Tandem skills.
  With this refresher, and Transaction Software backing me up, I could get almost any Tandem job out there.
- Unknown to most people, when I left Las Vegas, I created $400 worth of income a month.
  With one week of effort, that will increase my income to $900 a month tax free.
   That income will last for the rest of my life. All I need is health insurance to protect my assets (and future assets).
- I don't need this job, I came here to have fun.
  But if that includes being demeaned and intimidated, I'm out of here.
  I'm told I can move to Daytona beach and live with my Aunt for FREE.
  The deal would be, I take care of her, she takes care of me.
- I have Mikey on the hook for an apartment lease.
  So if I decide to leave M2 and burn my bridges, I'll have to make sure I don't burn Mikey in any way.
- I've also calculated that I can make more money driving a truck.
  If I bought my own rig, I can make almost as much as I was making at the Mgm.
  That option at least has promise for the future.

- I came in early. I got into trouble for that.
My goal was to create a good impression.
- So I waited in the parking lot and  I got into trouble for that.
I wasn't at my cube before my start time. I was told I was early, so I didn't come in, and I got into trouble.
Right off the bat, it was impossible to do anything right!
- I took time to say howdy and learn their systems. I got into trouble for that.
My introductions consisted of "Hi, I'm Jim", and that was it.
My introduction to the Office Manager was her putting a sticky on my PC.
I was given a stack of papers. A lot of them related to full time employees. Apparently, orientation hasn't even been thought about.
- I was told if I entered an office with no one there, I'll be fired.

There's a lot of paranoia there. For a shop with no production data, it just doesn't sense. They process electronic Food Stamps!
- I got into trouble for not answering my emails immediately.

My PC doesn't have speakers. Those emails came from a manager, just a few cubes away. Why didn't she just come by?
- The keyboard mappings on my PC are strange to me.
I won't have time to change them.

 

- I can't hook up my laptop.
I've got Tandem tools and information on it.
The style seems to be fear, intimidation and pressure.
M2 is a quandary.
They want things done fast.
My first code change took 5 minutes. But the testing, which seemed very unreasonable, required knowledge I didn't even have.
- The concensious seems to be that I'm slow.
Without time to learn the basics of their systems, I will be slow. If its written on paper, but its not in my head, I'll always be slow.
Silly things about this shop
Their enables are listed out on a spread sheet.  On another page, it tells you to prefix the names with an E.
Its not documented how to access them. The screen you run them from doesn't even tell you the key combination to get to them.
Running them is unnecessarily complicated. If you don't put N in one of the field's, you have to key in everything again.
Noone seems to know why you have to put an N in that field. Its silly.
- I could work up an easy to use enable menu in 20 minutes.
All of their production sources are just hanging out there for anyone to modify at their choosing.
They should have those sources someplace that's protected at the bare minimum, at the very least.

The name of their compare program is COMPARA.

The name of their pathway entry system is MNDRIV and not MENU.

They use different names for their filenames, the programs file names and the records field names.
An account number might be called as many as six different names. You need a road map to figure it out.
Their perform READ-MYFILE-NEXT paragraphs do much more than just read the file.
And, last but not least, they use GOTOs.

Without proper introductions, without any kind of voice, I'll have no power at M2, EVER. It'll always be a grunt job.

Hey Mikey…how's it going? I just found out my Aunt Tass (who I've hardly ever even talked to) lives on the beach, an hour away from Orlando.
My dad said she has a guest house we could have lived in!!! Wow.
Dad's brother (Art) did very well in life. The temptation would be to ask her if I could use her place for storage, but that would be completely rude.
We'll probably be leaving Savanna around 2ish, but all of my time estimates have been way off so far.
Its a 4.5 hour drive from here to Orlando.
I've desparately tried to patch the leak in my camper shell.
Maybe the best thing to do would be to get a nearby storage unit for 1 week.

Then we all could concentrate on getting furniture after work.

I'd expect I'm going to have to do most of the lugging moving in, which is just fine.
The lugging for me will be easy. I've figured out ways to carry anything with one hand. LOL
What'll be hard is getting this 180lb body up and down those stairs.
It would be nice to have that little break one gets while travelling between storage and the apartment.

Bout time. She says she'll never return to Las Vegas...wow.
I still think Las Vegas is the most exciting town in the US, but its hard to compare one town to another.
Las Vegas is exciting, glamorous, and attractive people are everywhere.
Colorado has awsome scenery with great air. The people seem laid back and friendly.
Utah has spectacular features, but its mainly unpopulated

California has a great over all climate, great air, and something else that I can't quite define. It seems to make you feel special.
Missouri is a wind down place, where time stands still. Nothing seems new there. The people are laid back and it would be a great place to wind down the clock.
Kentucky is catching up to its Kentucky Derby reputation. Its personality has changed to the tune of plantation style brick houses, fine retaurants. They're accent is still THICK!
Kansas, well, what can I say, I've never liked it. It seems to be clickish.

I suppose we're in or near the Blue Ridge mountains. We'll explore this town today.
With any luck, we'll be in Savannah 6 hours after we take off.
After staying there for the night, we'll be headed down the Florida coast, for yet another 6 hour drive.
Checkin time at Extended Stay is at 3pm.

You were so sweet Becky.
I don't I've ever heard you laugh so hard as you did last night.
The motion rides were great because of you!!!

Tournment of the Kings
Last night we went to see the show at the Excaulber. They had six man doing all kind's of jump's and sumersualts cartwheel's it was so cool. We sat on the Dragon side's table. The dragon's were dressed up in black outfit's with black elegator head's on their head's. There was lot's to see. After the show we went to the Luxor. Jim took pictures. Then we got three ticket's to go on three motion rides plus the I Max Theater to see the 3D Haunted Castle it was so awsome to see you were so close it was like you were in the screen. We all were very tired. We got home at 11pm. When we got home we watched the 3D movie Shrek on our Projecter it was pretty cool.

Robert & Joy
I read your blog. It was hard for me to read. I started crying when I read what you said about saying good bye. WE will miss you so much. This will be a change for us. I remeber living in Florida when I was 18 till I was 19. I lived in Tampa Bay and St Petersburg. Now from all these year's I'm going back to Florida to live in Orlando. This will be hard for me to say good bye to all of my family. I love you all so very much. We will stay in contact with each other over the phone or the internet. Robert I want you to know that I am so proud of you. You have been a wonderful father for Amy. I can tell that you really love her. The place you are moving to. I hope it work's out for you ,Joy, Amy. WE will be staying in a hotel for a week before we can move into are apartment. We move into the apartment on the 30th. Jim has the picture of the apartment's that we will be staying at on his website Lvdude.com. I'm doing laundry today. Jim & I got are hair's cut yesterday. We went to Baja fresh. There food was not that great so don't go there to eat (LOL). Lisa the hair dresser is so good at cuting hair. She did a great on my hair. I really like it (LMAO) He He. Do you work Saturday? If you don't we were thinking of haveing everyone to go out to Joe's Crab shack for a nice dinner before we leave.

Jury Summons
Went to a Jury Sommons today. Jim called last night to confirm my time to go in. Well I got there at 11:55am. The lady at the desk asked me what number did I call. I showed her and she said I called the wrong number. Anyway's she said it was ok and I sat down to wait for my badge number to be called. I only waited for 25min and they excused everyone. What really sucked was that I didn't get paid for it.I don't have to go back for 18 month's yahoo yippee (LMAO)

That be real good, Ms. Rebecca
I was first pleased to hear it was the stray doggy, and not the kids. Then when Jimmy said it was candle wax, and not the stray dog, I was glad it wasn't the dog. But, now the hard part. Getting rid of the wax.
I guess Jennifur and Justin are good kids then...
Hurray for them.
Later... Ms Rebecca
Bow How and Out...

This Weeked
Hey Mike The story about the tv is that my kid's didn't do anything to the tv. We lost power for an hour. There was two stray dog's going around in the neighbor hood. One of the dog's got in the back door. I was outside talking to are next door neighbor. When I found out that the dog got in the house and put scatches on the screen tv. This really sux. I wished I could have gotten the dog before it happened. I finally got rid of all the nits in Jennifer's hair. My mother picked me and the kid's on Wenseday to take Jennifer to the doctor's. The kid's went home on Wenseday. Jim is doing better today. Renee wrote me a letter. I could read it this time. Take care Mike.

The Weekened
This is how our weekened went. Jim and I packed up the truck and picked up my kid's at my mother's house at 8:00. We got to Zion National Park at 10:30. We camped out at the South Camping Ground. We setted up are tent's. Jennifer and Dustin learned how to put up their own tent. Jim and I got our tent setted up after helping the kid's getting their tent set up. It rained the first night. It was so beautful there. The mountian's were so tall and big with so many different colors and features. Jim drove up this one mountian that had a tunnel that you drive though for a mile long. They built the tunnel in the 1920's. They used dynomite to blow the hole's though. When we turned around heading back to our camp site. It was raining. There was a rock shaped like a bridge that had water coming down on it. It was an amazing site to see. Jim and I got goose bumps from seeing it. On (Sunday) We went on a bus tour. We saw all different kind's of shapes of mountians and what the names of them were. Jim took 300 hundred or so pictures. On our way going back home we went to Cedar Canyon Breaks. When we were on the road we saw all kinds of snow and Aspen tree's. We couldn't see Cedar Break's because the road was closed. We headed to Cedar City and stopped at a outlook of a Lake with snow and tree's. A lady came out with a mini dansh hound dog and told us that there used to be a dam or a bridge that you could walk across the lake. But now the bridge is underneath the water. We saw another outlook that you could see the Zion Canyon and all green valley it was a beautiful site to see. We saw all different kind's of animal's on are trip. We saw Horse's Cow's Ostriches and Buffalo and a Bull and Elk and Donkey's and wild Turkey's and all kind's of different bird's and alot of Squirrel's. When we got to Cedar City we picked up some KFC and got on the road back to Las Vegas. We went by Mesquite. and saw a Casino were my mother and my brother were staying at on Saturday. We droped the off at 6:00pm. Got home and Sonny was here with Squirt. Sonny had told us that my son had droped off their dog (DOG)and we were'nt home. So now we have him in are back yard. Robert is suppose to pick him up today to take him to a dog Shelter. If anyone has'nt seen Utah you have got to go there it is such a beautiful state. I would go back there anytime I had a wounderful time there. The kid's were are alot of fun on the trip. Need to unpack the truck today get Cigaretts.

Jim and I went to Home Depot and Jim got a valve for his project that he is working on. WE spent 2hrs there. Before we left the house Jim called Sonny to tell him that he got a post office paper from Ewing Brother's Towing. Sonny called them. Jim told Sonny to call us back. Well we waited for 15min but Sonny didn't call back. So Jim called and found out that his Doge Shadow that got stolen was stripped at Martin Luther King St A very bad area. The good thing is that Sonny has a better car now. Jim and I went to Hooter's for dinner it was funny. One of the hooter waitress girl's came to are table and cleaned the table with her boobs hanging down her top while she was cleaning the table. The girls there were very nice and pretty and young. I thought it was cute seeing Jim's eye's getting big (LMAO).

We had to get permission from my mother too see if the kid's could go with us. I tried to call the house but know answer. We took the kid's to my mother's but no one was home. So Jim wrote a note. We ended up not going to the Area 51 bash instead we stayed with are neighbor's at their camp site. Are tent was too big. We had no were to sleep. So we decided at 12am to go back home. On sunday we took the kid's back home at 1:30pm. Jim and I were happy that they were home. Why we couldn't get a hold of my mother was because my brother accidentley cut his own cable wire LOL!! silly brother of mine he is a electrician huh?

Then Jennifer asked if she could take some home and I said yes. Everytime Jim and I take the kid's home she is alway's complaining about Dustin. Today was a good day though.

Anyway, we love ya Mike. I love ya like a brother. Becky loves ya.
Its hot out here. My brains are baked.

Friday, May 20, 2005 22:08:16 <Squirty's alter-ego>
On the contrary, Ms. Rebecca
This is an issue too complex to look at without all the information. I will be the first to admit that Kevin screwed up, and very poorly treated Jim. DOn't ever think I don't want Jim here, or that I don't want to work with Jim. On the contrary.
Have Jim explain it to you.
You don't have the basis at the time you wrote your entry this afternoon to make a judgement. I love ya, and you are a great lady, but you have no idea how the manager here (and probably a lot of MIS/IT managers out there) thinks. And how decisions are based on whom will be interviewed.
I am hurt you'd judge me based on something you didn't understand at the time.
I said only the things I did since it is what 90% (guess) of manager would say. Specially where there are 1000 people out there almost as good as Jim at the job, how have not been out of work for 4 years. I am so happy Jim had the option to choose to take some time off and that he can string that out as long as he chooses, but you don't understand the mindset of the hiring MIS mager out there. What I said is just an indication of what the real world thinks of a 4 year gap in employment.
Talk to Jim about this and I am sure he can explain it to your satisfaction.
Then while we are all mad at Kevin, and rightfully so, don't accuse me of not caring for Jim. I love him like a brother.

Friday, May 20, 2005 16:31:57 <Jim>
Becky, Mike's a great guy. If anything, he tried very hard to get me into Florida!
And I wanted to go. I would love to know what the headhunter told Mike though. I'd think it would be something like, he isn't a programmer because he hasn't programmed in 3 years. Well, that's just a fad.
Some of the things I've heard employers say:
We're looking for someone with a BA degree in anything. (Computer Science Corp)
Cobol is good, but it needs to be AS400 Cobol (Clark County)
Tandem is good, but you need to know Tal. (Tal school lasts 1 week)
Tal is good, but you need to know Base24. (Base24 school lasts 1 week)
Your salary history is too low.
Your salary history is too high.
We need a Software Engineer, not a programmer (EG&G)
2 years experience required in Windows 2000 (Shown in Dice, 2001)
You must have experience with our software (Northrop)
It just too funny. I'd be depressed if I weren't laughing.

THURSDAY
Wrote a letter to Renee. Called my mother she is bringing Jennifer and Dustin over tomorrow. Jim is working on his Simpsons Video Poker game. The headhunter Kevin is a real ass hole he has'nt contact Jim or e-mailed him. I just don't get these Headhunter's. Why do they call them Headhunter's anyway's. It sound's like to me that they hunt head's not job's (LMAO). I did'nt appreciate the thing's that Mike said to Jim in his e-mail. I feel that Mike does'nt want Jim to come to Florida. Jim is trying the best he can. I know Jim can get a job by just talking to people. He is a good business man. The weather is starting to get very (Hot Ouch!!!!!!!).

Robert & Joy & Amy came over this morning. Robert got on the computer. Jim printed out a game map for Robert. The next door neighbor's brought over some toy's for Amy. I cleaned up one of the toy's and Joy sat Amy on it she played with it for awhile. Jim showed Amy how to play with the toy she was setting on it had different gadget's on it. Amy is only 9 month's old she is getting bigger everyday. I put in the movie The Hook. I think it was a cute movie. Jim did a program for a video Simpson Poker Game. It is so cool. You can play it on the internet on Jim's website.

Good Morning
Woke up hearing Squirt barking his head off. It was 7:15am. I usually don't get up till 9am. For some reason I wanted to know about Menopause. The things us women have to go though sux. Oh well this is the life we have to put up with.
Jim, Sonny and I Sonny went to Hush Puppy's last night
It was great. They have good food there.
I can't believe that someone would steal Sonny's car.
I hope you get your car back Sonny. To me, though, I think you need a better car thou.
Jim, I liked your 20Q question game it was cool.
I hope this Pat guy from head hunter's can help you get a job. I feel so down that i can't work because of my bitchie mother. This hurt's both of us. I hope you are not thinking that i'm using you for your money. I would never do that to you. I'm very happy being in your life. I love you so much Jim. :)

That's interest about this blog.
It's teaching me how to write too, but it's also teaching me how to program the web! If I'd had it 20 years ago, however, I never would have learned Word and all of the other word processors as well as I know them now.
I've been keeping my diary on computers since 1982.

Saturday

Jennifer and Dustin spent the night. 
Jim & I took the kid's to Hoover Dam. It was a pretty sight to see. 
Jim took picture's of the clock tower's and the shadow on the water. 
The picture's came out so smooth and crisp and clear. 
We played games on the computer's. 
The kid's watched Unforunate Events. 

Robert & Joy & Amy came over.
We all talked for awhile, then they left. 
Today is Sunday. Got up, made french toast this morning, and combed Jennifer's hair. 
Took the kid's back home at 9am. 
Went on the patio in the back yard and started talking to my mother. 
She asked me if I could help her out with putting Dustin into a Karate class.
It cost $200 dollar's for 6 month's. 
I have no job and she expects me to help her. I don't think so.
She suing me for child support after she kicked me out.

Hey, maybe could take the kids camping next weekend!
And take Dustin and Jennifer. It would have to be someplace with nearby bathrooms though.
That rules out Lovelle Canyon out. Mt Charleston is too cold. Hmmm.
Red Rock doesn't have decent campgrounds.
HEY! Lake Meade has campgrounds with bathrooms. Valley of Fire does too. Hmmm.

Then went to Albertson's to pick up some Sushi but they did'nt have any so we ended up getting a cookies & cream cake & some Chicken Wing's with potatos. Got home and played a game Parchisi. It was fun. Dustin wanted to go to this site called toontown witch is a Disney website. I went to download Directx9.0 so he could play it. That was a mistake. It had a 3 day trial on it. Then I got a Virus. I did a virus check. I thought everything was working but it wasn't. Jim couldn't find why either. Then I remembered downloading Directx9.0. I found it in the downloaded program's. I removed it and the problem was solved! Jim and I were happy about that. It sprinkled a little bit outside. Jim and I sat on the swing. Jennifer was in a hammock and she looked so cute. Jim took pitcher's (pictures) of us they were nice. We took the kid's back home at 8pm. Today is Sunday my son was going to bring back are (our) cell phone this morning but he didn't show up. Why? We are supposed to get rain today we will have to see if it happen's. Jim is working so hard on a program that he is doing he has been working on it for 4 day's now. He is so great!!!!!!!!! at what he does. I am very pround of him. This is my blog for the day.

Good Morning
Hi Jim I knew you were hungry this morning. I thought you would like to have French Toast. I'm glad you liked it. I bet you would have liked me to rub the syrup all over your Body. It would take alot of licking. My face and tounge would get mighty sticky (LOL). I'm going to check for virus'es now.

Glad you like your new (and my not so old) laptop.
Thanks for the French Toast this morning too!

Computer Day
Today I got to change laptops. I was using two Compaq laptops. The first Compaq I was using the monitor went out on me, Then what Jim did is he hooked up my laptop to a different monitor. Then I got Compaq Presario 1650 from Jim's friend Jerry Newberry for 100.00 dollars which was a great deal. Jim got a HP laptop from Mike that has more Kb. Now I have Jim's Hp that he used to have.

Hubba wowee! I can't wait to give you my old laptop!
I'm having a lot of fun restoring Mike's laptop. He's got so many little things on it that I didn't know existed.
I know he doesn't eat corn, and he love's to look at porn, but I can't seem to locate his stash of pictures of women with chunky asses yet.
I think the only thing better than getting, is giving.
You give me so much love Becky. It's nice when I can make you as happy as you make me.
Sorry I bitched a lot at you on the trip, BUT:
- You are taking much better pictures (shorter delays, centered on the subject, and levelled),
- you can help me navigate using maps now, and
- you can set up the truck for travel faster than ever before.
I'd love to use the reward system for training you
But we'd be pulling over all the time to make whoopee every time you did something great!

I had a great time at Disney Land on Monday 4/18/005. I was nervious about getting on the mattahorn and the train roller coaster's but i did it and it was a lot of fun. I'm sorry for being such a bitch to you. You & I were both burned out from Disney Land. We were trying to find mike. Some thing's did go right for us on the trip it was nice to see mike. We will miss him. I wish him luck on his job in Florida. We followed Mike out of Los Angeles about half way. We got home at 9:30pm Tuesday night. Universal Studio's I think was alot more fun to see then Disney Land. I did enjoy the trip. Thank you so much for takeing me Jim I love you for everything you do for me.

Another entry
Ms. Rebecca Keep Jimmy from driving too crazy on the way to Dinneyland. But don't leave too late. I'll be too anxious to see you at the Dinneyland ticket booth at 11am. Did you and Jimmy ever see "The Sum of all Fears", a movie from a year or two ago? I did a special donation of blood at the Red Cross yesterday (Saturday) that involves sitting there for two hours, so they provide you with a selection of movies to pick from on DVD. I saw this for the first time. Kinda corny of a movie, but shows you what a scary thing the world is coming to when you consider the premise of the movie. That a terrorist can get their hands on a atomic/nuclear weapon. We may have not trusted the Soviets through from after WW2 through the '80s, but at least they were as scared to use those weapons on us as we were on them. These crazy people out there though don't care. See ya tomorrow, and don't think you aren't going to get away without me buying you Minnie Mouse ears with your name on it.... Mikey

Hello Ms. Rebecca
Well, I finally made the jump from Jimmy's BLOG to yours. Love the picture of you. You are so photogenic. Please pass my belated birthday wishes on to Jennifur. Glad you and Jimmy are doing so well. You're special and so is he. I am so glad I have gotten to know you both. (BTW: And thanks to Jimmy, I have managed to get though some tough times....) I look forward to seeing you both at Dinneyland Monday. I am surprised you've never been there before. Specially given you've lived in AZ and NV (so close) all these years. It is truly one very special place. And this year marks its 50th anniversary. Mikey

Thanks Jim for the weblog!

Lets see:
Friday, we have to go to Mom's at noon to help her decorate for Jennifers party.
On our way, we need to pick up Jennifer's cake at Albertson, which we have to order.
Plus, Mom wants us to pick up candles for Jen's cake.
And, she wants us to pick up 3 pizzas around 6pm.
And, she wants us to get a Gameboy Advanced Pokemon, but not the Saphire version.
I think thats it.
