Today was my first day on the job. Lots of learning and going over stuff. I uploaded my non-moniker update video to everything but dailymotion (my laptop is being weird with it, so I'll try to get it up soon). I also did some work on my new patreon page. I won't link it since I don't have it done yet. Later.

Today I enjoyed my last day of unemployment. I did a dry run to where I will be reporting tomorrow. I went to mass and had palm sunday. I worked on some videos to digitize. I went to dinner with my family. Expect an update video tomorrow. Later.

3/19/16

Today I went shopping for work clothes. Why did I do that, because I'm starting a new job on Monday. Yay. Later.

Well I checked the nook store and there's no more apps. So glad I downloaded all the apps when I did. Today I worked on transferring Hi-8 tapes to digital. I did 4 tapes, and would have gotten 5 if my capture program didn't crash at the end of 1 of the tapes. I also did a lot of exercise, like over an hour's worth. I also rented Mad Max Furry Road and Room. I watched room, and it was great. But now I'm thinking about someone renting Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" and angrily returning it, and then the clerk goes "it's better, much better." Later.

Happy Pi Day. I worked on digitizing videos. I recorded some podcasts. I went to the dentist. My dad and I picked up our car that was in the shop. I did some exercise. I downloaded all the apps I wanted from the nook app store since it was the last day to get them. Not much after that. Later.

3/10/16

Today was great. I had an interview with a company. It went well. But the better is that I accepted a job offer for the company that I interned with. Yay. That was my day, and it was great. Later.

Happy international women's day. Thank-you deadpool, you know what for. Today was pretty fun. I did some weekly job follow-up, looking promising. I went to see Zootopia with mskate. Great movie, this week's podcast will be our review of it. This movie was made with an adult audience in mind. It's appropriate for children, but there is A LOT that will go over their heads. My dad and I picked-up the car that we had in the shop. Later.

3/7/16

Well lets start off with the dream I wish ended up being a reality. I dreamed I went to a store that was once a blockbuster video and they had a bunch of old video store signage that they would rather keep than throw out, but they would sell it if a buyer came along. I was that buyer, and I bought a VHS and DVD sign. Unfortunately all I have is my "thank-you for shopping at blockbuster" sign. Today I basically spent the day with my grandparents. We went out to lunch at Steak n Shake and through the use of coupons we saved like 8 dollars (and since it was stuff we would have bought anyways, it really was savings). After lunch we went to my uncle's grave as it is his 6 year anniversary today. That was a little hard. After that we went to their house and pulled some stuff out of their basement that they wanted to get rid of. They had some stuff they just wanted to throw out, but I said "no this is still kind of good, we can donate it," and we did, like $40 worth of stuff. After that it was home and much later I watched better call saul on AMC. Later.

So today I woke up an hour later than normal, which made me think it was daylight savings. I later found out that it in fact wasn't daylight savings, and I just slept later than normal. I worked on some VHS videos, but the elgato kept crashing so yeah. I sorted some pennies and watched hulu and showtime. I did some exercise. Later.

3/2/16

Today was alright. I watched showtime, sorted pennies, and tried to get a job. Hopefully people will start coming through with some video tapes and slides to digitize. I had to reinstall my slide converting software since we upgraded the vista desktop to 7. Later.

3/1/16

Today was pretty low key. I applied to a bunch of places, and with this long shot I emailed the guy that I thought I might need to contact saying "your ISO9001 certification says you're into quality and efficiency, I'm into quality and efficiency, here's my resume, please hire me." Their industry doesn't REALLY match my degree, so I figured I could be a little more eccentric in my unsolicited request for employment. I watched some pre-recorded fights on showtime boxing. I put out an ad on my mom's facebook for my new videotape to DVD side-business; I won't be able to make it my full time job based on how much I'm charging per hour of video and my equipment, but I would be able to do something more productive with my time as I wait on someone to get back to me. I'm getting a lot of responses and will probably be able to keep myself busy. Later.
