Louisville's Log |
This is my favorite place to upload pictures too. Louisville is a wonderful city. Its not too big, and its not too small. Its just about the right size to take roots in. The people greet you with a southern hospitality and that southern drawl thats so adorable. |

I've got an old buddy in Louisville, Ky. YEAH! He actually dwells on the other side of the river in Clarksville, Indiana. Those people talk so funny over there. Why can't they learn to talk ryat? Actually, very few people here have an accent. This area is a melting pot of nationalities. He's the Information Systems Director for Caesars Indiana, which is pretty cool. I remember when he applied for the transfer back in the 90's. Its a Small World, after all. His home page is: http://home.insightbb.com/~chez2/ |

Adam called today right at our meeting time with Grady. He said workis putting the start date off by one week. They need more time to get the PO set up, and to make a spot for me...okay, those are excuses, but... Adam knows my situation and that I'm very flexible, and he said okay. BOA put off my interview twice, so I'm not surprised. It sounds like they are always very busy. And that sounds like I'll be much needed. Adam says he's positive that they won't back out on the contract. The only thing bad about starting on the 18th instead of the 11th is: My contract would end on December 18th. That's right before the Christmas and New Years holidays. I don't want memories of my work drowned by holiday festivities. I'd prefer a contract extension gets renewed the day after it expires, and not after a couple of holidays away. Brian said, he was going to get a longer contract approved. And that, my friends, is GREAT!!! |
05/30/2007 10:10:31 Jim What I love about owning this website | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Is the links with affiliations for it. I booked a room for 30 days in Louisville through my site. By doing that, I got a great rate, AND, I get a kick back for two days rent! What IRS agent has the nuts to say this write off, was reduced by this kick back you got on a totally different date. It almost impossible to separate business kick backs from personal kickbacks if its paid in a lump sum. I was talking to Newberry yesterday. He was talking about a buddy of his that has millions of dollars saved up, but he pays his bills through credit cards. Thats what I do. I get paid to pay! I've got $400 sitting on my Discover card that I earned for buying food. Why would anyone pay cash, even if they had it? I called Newberry in the first place, because I wondered if he'd like to take care of Squirt for six months. I brought Squirt (a pomeranian) over there one time, Jerry's wife loved it, and they've got two Pomeranians now. The conversations strayed into my notary business, and he said he knew someone who would love to take it over. Then he mentioned Kevin McDonald (who I used to work with at BOA) ran BOA's systems from home. Later on, Jerry called and said he talked to Kevin McDonald. Here's how outragious odds can happen every day. K McDonald knows the people that work in that little building I'll be working with at Louisville. Kevin lives in Vegas. He said that bank took over NPC, renamed it to Merchant Services, then let everyone go. So now, they've got a mess, they let their talent go. They process billions of dollars worth of credit card transactions a year. This Bank bought Valley Bank when I worked there and they destroyed the systems they bought. So in this situation, I should do VERY WELL. This job is a perfect match for my skills. Anyway, the odds of this happening on a phone call are astronomical!!! For someone I know, to know someone that knows what is going on in a small building 2,000 miles away. |
