Since people seem to actually read my site I’ll go ahead and update.

I finally got a job. I started this past Monday and I’ll be in training for a total of 8 weeks. I will be doing tech support for sprint cellular customers. It’s not really what I want to be doing but it’s a job. I am really tired of being on the phones but I don’t have the skills to get a decent paying job in the field I want. So for now I’ll settle for this.

I didn’t do anything over spring break really except for get the job. I went to my buddy Tolly’s house to work with him in his shop making some jeep parts for a customer of his. I do graphics and design parts on the computer so he can cut them out on his plasma table, and in exchange I get free work done on my jeep. I am pretty much saving up ‘points’ right now so I will have a place to leave my jeep for a few days while he and I do the lift, install new axles, etc.

Last night I spent the evening back at Tolly’s shop installing the rear axle on the previous mentioned jeep. I designed some brackets to mount a traction bar. Here are some pics of the progress on the jeep.

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I’ve found no meaning.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I’m so cold from fear.

I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure’s the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It’s more than just words: it’s just tears and rain.

Again

And so it starts again.
A cycle so sequential it teeters on the verge of poetry.
A tragic turn of events
playing over and over like ancient stories told to me.
We fight through the times and the times between,
struggle through heartaches but see the same scene.
I push too hard and give too much
only to find my dreams are nothing but such… lies.
I lie to myself and lie to my soul
searching for something to fill this black hole…
I call my heart.
While the void grows deeper
it’s banks grow steeper
until there’s no escape
from what has become of what was once so beautiful.
You see, it all works itself out in the end.
It’s just a question of if it will happen soon…
While we can change it or only once we meet our own end.

Since I’m unemployed I am obviously trying to find a new job. I am being very selective right now as it is not imperative that I have a job for a few more weeks. I found this on my computer and thought it might be of some use.

Dear Sir or Ma’am,

Thank you for your letter rejecting my application for employment with your company.

I have received rejections from an unusually large number of exceptionally well qualified organizations. With such a varied and promising spectrum of rejections from which to select, it is impossible for me to consider them all. After careful deliberation, then, and because a number of firms have found me more unsuitable, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection.

Despite your company’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my requirements at this time. As a result, I will be starting employment with your firm on the first of the month.

Circumstances change and one can never know when new demands for rejection arise. Accordingly, I will keep your letter on file in case my requirements for rejection change.

Please do not regard this letter as a criticism of your qualifications in attempting to refuse me employment. I wish you the best of luck in rejecting future candidates.

Sincerely,

Scott Harvey
