Time for some updates about ME! :)
Well it’s been a while since I have posted any “personal” updates. Let’s give this one another shot.
On November 23rd, I finally got promoted to the position I had been trying for so long to reach. I’m now the Store Manager of a ‘Rock the Block’ BLOCKBUSTER Media store. (A goal I had been trying to reach for at least 5 years!) And coincidentally enough, my store is located in the city where I grew up. Also, while I’m blabbing about my store – I will even say that my store looks better than most BLOCKBUSTER stores–even the new ones! The previous Store Manager at my store ran a very organized, clean and trained staff and store. (I love her! Our management techniques are so similar that the transition was very smooth) So needless to say; that will occupy a lot of my time..
Sliding in second for taking my time is my Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network, IRC4Fun. I’m still actively using it and maintaining it. There have been a few improvements and wins for the network lately; such as new features, a Win in the Spam Fight for our network, a Win in the Drone Fight for our network, etc. I have updated Defender (our network protection/abuse prevention service) to handle many more situations and battles for our staff/network. I will continue to update Defender to combat network annoyances as I just fucking LOVE it. I am still a nerd at heart – I love to code.
I hope everyone likes the updates to this site! I’m still making tweaks here and there and fixing things that were broken during the update. If you see any bugs/etc that linger for a while (as if I am just not noticing them) please contact me. You can also contact me if you have any ideas for the site (or just want to). :)

Well I finally have the time for updates! “Why?” Because BLOCKBUSTER let me go, as they have done to so many valuable Managers. No – my store did not close down (I’ve turned profits in every store I’ve operated) Unfortunately, I was fired due to politics. I apparently did not kiss my District Manager’s ass [...]

OMG! I am going to go see Lady Gaga (with my boyfriend) live when she comes to Dallas! I am so fucking excited! Just getting the tickets was a scary event – as the Ticketmaster website kept experiencing issues finding any tickets. After a retry (and getting in line ALL OVER AGAIN) and some tears, [...]

Geeze, where does the time go? I cannot believe it has been almost a month already since I have posted. Time really flies when you’re having fun.. So I moved stores at work.. That was a good thing, and at the same time a hard thing. I can’t go into the details; but I can [...]

Ooh, so where do I start? It’s been a while since my last post. I’m still working 55-(almost)-60 hours per week. (Welcome to the life of a Store Manager) Things should start to quiet down as time goes on–and we will see how that goes. (Maybe I’m just dedicated!) Anyway, about a month or so [...]

Jeebus, it has been a busy, busy last two weeks! Work has been absolutely hell-acious with the Holidays (Gotta love Retail during the Holiday season) — I am hoping it will finally start to calm down now that the major Holidays are over. (And not a moment too soon!) I’ve been working 55, almost 60-hour [...]

And as you can see I am still here. I’ve updated the site — it’s been way too long with the same stale look. I hope you all enjoy the fresh new look! I’m looking into adding more functionality to the site as well in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! Link to this Article Like [...]

Wow! It’s been a while! Does anybody still read this? Anywho – where do I start this time? Things have been pretty good lately. I still love my job at BLOCKBUSTER (maybe too much.) We’re a new (remodeled) BLOCKBUSTER – and the store is just awesome! I got promoted to Assistant Store Manager a while [...]

Let’s start with some updates… First; as I have asked since I began putting my media online – PLEASE DO NOT HOTLINK TO IT! Until now; I’ve only been asking. Now you have no choice. This has become too big of an issue for me — I woke up this morning and found the site [...]

So first, got my job back at BLOCKBUSTER. Thank god for that, but I (shamefully) had to start at the very bottom all over again. After leaving BLOCKBUSTER for my previous job that was supposedly better, it turned out to be worse and I lost all I had with BLOCKBUSTER and my Management title/status. However, [...]
