oh dear. talk about your WORST timing EVER!
i think its being warrantied & parts will be here Thursday. & i think Ron is allowing Angel to be authorized to take care of things while im gone.
i just dunno how my struts can go bad & me not notice. im not a complete MORON.

i literally HEARD my shocks go (all 4) on my EM2 one night & it was like gun shots. then obviously the ride quality went to hell-in-a-handbasket from there. painfully obvious over speedbumps too.
very strange.

it really could NOT be in better hands honestly.

some unknown bug (read: MULTIPLE) were found in my room & the other 2's room as well. 1 we're like okay sure... 1 in my room.... a bit odd.
over the course of the last HOUR 3 in my room & 4 in their room. we got switched to rooms next door.
im pissed cuz i want to SLEEP & its already 1220AM my time here & i have to be up & outta here WORKING @ the hospital 10/15 minutes away for 8AM my time. thankfully bosses wife personally knows some1 @ HP Corporate & is going to get a new cord for me heavily discounted she says. its overnighted. im here TOO long to be without any connection to the outside world. if it were just the weekend, i wouldn't even worry about it until i got home back to FL.
sooooo crappy y0!
p.s.- i will have NO laptop as of the end of this battery's charge. the first bug in my room flew RIGHT past my ear when i was sitting enjoying "The Office" freaked me the f*ck out & i dropped my laptop. it was charging & OF COURSE it landed charging cord down & f*cked up my jack on the charger. so im up a sh!t-creek ATM w/ no charger for the laptop. phone is too slow here w/o 3G & the wireless here is funny on the phone but perfect on the laptop. go figure.
/endsuperpissedrant
g'night all! i wish it were snowing cuz that runs ALL the bugs out of the area. it is currently 51 degrees outside here.

So no labtop for your whole trip?
=( I cant believe your having such bad luck dropping labtop and breaking your charger.
HOld on you said it flew past you? It must be those big flying ****roaches

FL should be 2 ahead of me
eastTN/LA should be 1 ahead of me
NV should be 1 behind me
ridiculously bad first day... to say the least.

idk man, i sound like such a p*ssy & i know this... but Joey does NOT do bugs. never has, never really will.

i got freaked out the other day. idk how this giant ****roach got into my room and i saw this black thing moving near me and came out from under teh desk.
right when my mom came up i looked down and i freaked and jumped onto my chair and onto my bed lol. My mom helped by grab it lol.
um usually dont freak like that but it was so unexpected lol
but i think it could be a ****roach. why you staying in such a sucky place?

dude, if you're ever in the mid-west you'll see what i mean. road as far as the eye can see & further. after a few hundred miles without breaks you tend to catch "tunnel-vision" & distorts your perception. sometimes we'd go for like half an hour without even SEEING another car on the road anywhere. lots of cops but seemed like they weren't overly concerned. weird.

lol dealer trade type of drive from HELL much?!? hahahahhahahahah chevy fail. LOL!! i still think it will be 10x better by myself... no cigarettes, no breaks, no pullovers unless i absolutely feel i need to stretch or just chill for a bit. will be nice.
i JUST heard tonight that i will have that ENTIRE day off. *whew!* thank GOD cuz im gonna need it!

what i THINK Brian was saying on the conference call earlier was to get my accnt # to my WaMu/Chase accnt & deposit funds into it so i can just use my debit/credit card as usual keeping the receipts as proof of purchases.
idk homie, its all new to me.
as for Memphis to Colorado... dude, i wouldn't if i were you. that sh!t is gonna be faaar!!
to give you an idea its 1700 miles from Orlando to Colorado & 2700 miles from Vegas to Orlando. insanity!!

tomorrow (today) better go smoothly but again, in retrospect, i think the only thing worse than CAN happen would be certain death. sh!t's just flat out NUT y0!!!

not even so much as a "bank" that ive seen. very weird. just those shady ass $3.00 fee + your bank's fee "ATM" like machines in the ghetto gas stations.
we tried to shove the jack back into the cord to make the metal on metal connection.. no dice.

for lunch today w/ the co-workers & the girl (Nicole) who is the supervisor of the business office today. it was pretty good & of course, PERFECT signal out there w/ the EDGE network outside & free WiFi inside. food was on-par (pun intended) & wow, Nicole is a super-cutie.
found out some things today tho:
*very attractive in a "girl next door" sorta way; she does not look even REMOTELY close but she's 32
*married, 2 girls (cute lil girls too... saw them trick or treating @ the hospital lobby on our way out this evening)
*originally from right here in Trinidad, CO, moved to North Las Vegas for three years but is now back out in the mountains about to close on a house in a week outside of the "town" of Trinidad.
*LOOOOOOOOVES rock music & attended many concerts w/ her oldest daughter while living in Vegas. (especially Rise Against, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Metallica, Bullet for my Valentine... the ones she mentioned)
*barely over 5' tall
*brown hair & big brown eyes
the BAD news is... after going out to lunch this afternoon thanks to Lynn & Denise; she is a "closet smoker"
didn't do it while pregnant, doesn't do it at all @ work or carry anything around, only in the comfort of her home. unfortunately having 2 other smokers around, she was urged to "have one" and that is exactly how i found out... the hard way 
suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper unattractive to me. nice girl but definitely not interested now.
im picky when it comes to your healthy or unhealthy habits. its just how i roll i guess.

Hold on all of those things were describing Nicole right?
Joey lol dont be so picky. At least be her friend, maybe she will introduce somoene to you or soemthing.
And man I'm lame staying home on Holloween. There are tons of parties but I'm just not in the party mood these days. Guess cause my party buddies all left me =( And went to Orlando.
Oh Joey my friend that is there for college was telling me how Orlando law on modding your car is pretty strict. They give ppl tickets for having too loud of a car. Apparently my friend has been pulled over a few time for hi bike already. But he told them he doesnt live there so cant apply tto him. So they let him go.

the reason Denise prolly WONT be leaving is cuz things arent going smoothly & they will likely assume/know that im not 100% confident in being here alone to work + training the perm. FHR employee that lives here & will work @ the hospital M-F.

she also said she doesn't do it in front of her kids. which was nice and considerate of her if she MUST feel she needs to smoke.
i will be nothing but nice to her no doubt. she's a mad cool chick & has a great personality... she's definitely worth looking @ that's for sure. lol but that's where it ends.

the best coverage in this area is with Alltell Wireless & Verizon Wireless. AT&T hasn't picked up the slack around here as of yet i am told. booo!!
brb. shower.

i had to give the Compaq charger back to Denise (she needed it) & the HP hookup Lynn has is on vacation for a month outside of the U.S.

anywho, just watchin' Carson Daly Last Call (why you ask?? i have no idea). he looks like a giant douchebag dressed like grapes for Halloween. lol fail.
thanks for the comment Steve... im sorta hoping for that as well. this Colorado stuff isn't as easy as "they" made it out to be when i was considered first for the job. figures... there's regular Colorado Medicaid, Commercial Insurance if they have it, setup a payment plan with the patient for balance after insurance has paid, & a 3rd program for assistance here locally called Colorado Indigent Care Program & so far, its maaaaaad confusing.
so im hoping Saturday (sooo ga_y to have to work on a Saturday cuz normally its business hours M-F) i learn a lot more & start to get comfortable using the program called HMS to work these accounts that keep piling up each day that "Kevin" is still around but doing nothing of any consequence so far as work is concerned. anything but really. waste of breath @ this point.
so sleepy. yuck!!
