huh....I guess my resume wasnt/isnt all that bad after all. After my not so good meeting and 3 hour talk last Thursday in which I definitely got my point across but didnt get anything I asked for, I put my resume out on Monster.com and started searching for other millwork/cabinetry companies and sending them my resume with a cover letter. And since then, Ive gotten 8 reply emails, 3 phone calls and 2 companies that want me to come down there for an interview. Im happy with that. But, I did a little stutter step today after I talked to one of the owners and he told me he was giving me a 45 cent raise, retroactive to the beginning of May. It makes me wonder if they thought I was joking when I told them I thought it was time for me to start looking for something else that was going to give me what I felt I was worth. It also makes me wonder if someone didnt call him looking for a reference too.
The way Im looking at things right now. I dont really stand to lose anything by just looking. If something better comes along and I can take it, well, Ill wait for the time to decide. One of the companies I sent my resume to makes me very excited. Theyre big. Had unbelievably awesome benefits and, from the pics I saw, did amazing work. Feel free to go back to yesterdays blog and look at my resume if you want to give me some tips and pointers on how to make it better though.
I am a little wary about moving though. None of the places I sent my resume to were close to me. Although, I did receive a phone call from a company in Mentor today. I assume they got my resume off Monster.
Eh, whatever, I realized today that I take some things entirely too seriously. Like work for instance. I like work. I like working. I work hard. I take pride in the things I build. But, to think that everyone in my shop should look at it all the same way I do, is more than a little ridiculous on my part. Work is just work. I need to leave it at that and actually live for myself instead.
I want to get rid of my truck. Seriously. I do not want it anymore. Im happy driving a half way decent whatever that isnt going to drain me.
Riding my bike to work has been so much better than I thought. Im logging close to 20 miles a day, which isnt all too shabby. Theres a few steep hills though that make my thighs burn like crazy, but, their rock fucking solid so thats cool with me. Bring that shit on. Waking up at 4:45 so I can get some breakfast and make it to work on time hasnt really been all that hard to adjust to either. Its the going to be on time that gets me. I have to get to work by 6:30, I work 10.5 hours everyday, then ride my tired ass back home, eat dinner, go to the gym every other day, and this may be odd, but by that time, I have so much freakin energy I CANT go to sleep. What the hell is up with that? I should be dead tired but no. Up.
My roommate is on vacation somewhere till who knows when and so is the guy that lives downstairs. Its been so quiet with them both gone. But, I get bored with no one here to talk to so, I go somewhere else lately.
Oh, music, I found these guys. I like them. Its not heavy like yesterday.

I really liked the one you did that split, that way if i wanted to pull one side closer to the couch for the laptop i could, and someone could still use the other side as a coffee table.
I am freaking OCD about my cheap ass coffee table, you build me something nice and it will probably end up with a glass case at it. I will like anything you build.
