Updates 2.0

Happy Birthday to Me. Happy Birthday to Me. So my birthday has come and is going. Yep, I was born 22 years ago at 6:30 pm. Also I am only 14 closes away from my store closing. As I recall from a message my pastor gave one Sunday about change if you don't change you will be forced to change for the good or bad and for the longest time known that I needed to get a new job and I did not. So I am getting forced to change. Not that I'm being punished its just the way of life.

The last day to rent from my store is January 4th, 2009 and we are officially closed to the public January 11th, 2009. I'm trying to stay as long as I can to pack up stuff. There is several things I am trying to get from my store like the four TVs and brackets that we play dvds on and I would like to get the wood floor at the front of the store and Buy several movie titles that are not available anymore.

I'm looking for a new job because I don't want to be transfered to a new store. If I get transfered Me or someone else will be just tumbling that stores employees in the air and making trouble. I got several leads for possible employment like someone at my church is a training manager for UPS and was going to ask someone at his warehouse if I could get a job there. But I just found out today that they are not hiring but I met someone at my work that said AT&T is looking for 800 new Uverse installers this year end and laying off 1200 people in other department of AT&T. At the moment their installers are working 10 hours a day 6 days a week at $17 an hour. They are union but I guess I can live with that also the average customer is waiting 90 days for installation. If I worked there and the information above was true I would be making $1020 a week. With that I can get a NEW CAR and save up for my trips to Japan quickly. He said to call him today between 12 and 4 pm but I did and got a message saying he would be out of the office until January 2nd. So I guess I got to wait until then. PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR ME SO I WILL GET THE JOB I ALWAYS WANTED!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Japanese Gift Exchange

As I might have said before I made a friend at the rakugo event in Chicago back in June named Asakichi-san. Well the other day we both got done with do a gift exchange over the mail. He sent me two containers. First one with Matcha (Powdered Green Tea - MY FAVORITE) and the other with dried green tea leaves made by his grandparent who grows green tea. He sent his on Oct 30th and I received it Nov 10th. I sent mine on the 17th and he got it on Nov 22nd. It was a bummer though that he spent about $7 to send one to me but mine which was about the same weight and size and cost me $22 to send. The idiots at the UPS store said it would cost $120 to send by them. It did not even say that on there website. Oh, yeah I sent him a 1lb bag of Dunkin' Donuts Coffee, 1lb box of Fannie May Choclate Assortment with the chicago skyline printed on the box and couple American Flags I picked up for only a few cents each. He sent me and e-mail saying the choclate was already gone and he loved the coffee. He has become a great connection for the future when I go the Japan, He might make a great Tour Guide.

Yesterday during church my pastor was talking about three transitions of change and he just mentioned the word ask god what job you should be looking for. Then It me that even if I'm praying for a job I'm searching in the wrong place. Then I realized I'm trying to leave Blockbuster not stay. I do not what to transfer to another store so here is what I'm going to do. I asked last night that if I can transfer to a different department in Blockbuster such as Scanning, IT and and well HHHMMMMMM Well she said she would find out for me whats available.
