Well I'm sad to say that this site will be taken off-line something soon (I think the end of the month). With it will go perpetualbeta.com and zero.slightlynorth.com.

I no longer can afford the server this site sits on and will have to give up my freedom to host other sites in order to save some money. So, maybe we will be back soon, maybe not.

I had fun

I'm so tired today. I was supposed to go out tonight but I just can't. I have no energy. I'm rather unhappy with the way things are right now. I hate waiting. As you can see I am rather blah today. Blah, blah, blah. I think I'm going to go turn off all the lights and curl up under my covers and hide from the world for awhile. I am so not going to be working at Webco much longer.. I'll actually be surprised if I make it passed Monday. More likely than not they'll fire me because I won't be making the 10 "sales" required per day. Yesterday I only got two. But then again more than half the time I wasn't even trying. I was sketching them into thinking I was actually calling people.. and I *was* making calls.. but to disconnected and blocked numbers. Some people can do this kinda thing.. but I can't. Even though we're not selling anything.. it's still a scam.. and I'm sorry but I have too much of a conscience to sketch old people.. or any people for that matter out of their money. And getting a "real" job really isn't all that easy. I dropped off some resumes today though.. and I'm going to go drop off some more tomorrow.. I just hope *crosses fingers* that something comes of it. And I also hope *crosses fingers some more* that things don't take forever at the NSC because really all I want right now is to be with Shawn. I miss him.

"Hi, my name is Erin and I'm calling on behalf of Webco Information Technology Systems. I was wondering if you would like to take part in our free 30 day trial offer.."

So, I am no longer unemployed. I'm back in the wonderful world of telemarketing.. though this job does not require that I make sales. Which is part of the reson I applied there. Another reason is because these places always want people who are fluent in English and well, I *CAN* speak french.. but for the most part I just don't. But anyway, the place was pretty cool considering the type of place it is. The guy who interviewed me has been in the business for 21 years. I can't imagine how someone would actually want to be in this type of business for that long. I'm only doing it cause it's easy to get the job and easy money and that's what I'm looking for right now. Just something to pass the time and pay the bills until I can move. The only problem I have with the place so far is that it's painted yellow. But other than that is was alright.. they were playing beats and the guy who is in charge had a poster from SONA of Ritchie Hawtin on his desk. Though, I don't know what I'd do if I went to SONA and saw this guy all partying after hours and stuff. But seeing as I don't really go there that often anymore.. I really don't think it'll be a problem. And actually the hours aren't bad either.. I got my choice of a shift from 11-5 or 5-10.. I took the 11-5 one. It still gives me time to do things in the morning and it doesn't have me working all night. Though, I don't know how long I'll actually be working there.. I'll have to see what it's like. I'm really picky sometimes. But whatever, for now.. it's something. I'm going to have to see if the Employment Counselor from my school calls me in the next little while.. if not I think I'm going to give her a call and see what she can do for me. I'd prefer doing something to do with what I went to school for.. but.. whatever..

Speaking of school.. I went there today for a bit. I hung out with this guy who was in the semester behind me but screwed up and is now back in the second semester. I saw one of my old teachers who owes me money and he was all "Hey Erin!" like nothing was wrong. I just ignored him. It's not like he can't afford to pay me back the $50 that he owes me.. but for whatever reason he's just being difficult about it. I haven't talked to him in months and don't plan on talking to him anytime soon. I'm expecting to get a phone call from him at some point.. more likely than not. Though.. hopefully not.

Anyway, yeah.. that's about all I've got to say for the moment..

"Thank you very much for your time and have a wonderful day.."

*blink*

I am still alive, although a bit stressed. Actually, most of the stress is washing away with every passing day. You see, I had to move. Moving is not fun. so yeah...

I can't believe how odd it is to be living in a place with no internet access, no telephone, no cable TV, no broadcast TV (I live in an old brick building, barely even get a digital cell signal), and no food. Damn I need to go to the store. However, the place I live is amazing. It is located in the Lowery Air Force Base. Those in Colorado might know that Lowery was closed down a while back and is slowly being turned into some kick ass residental areas. For instance, the building I live in used to be the Officer's Barracks. After that it was Lowery's headquarters building. After the base closing, a New York design firm came in and transformed the building into the most amazing loft style appartments I have seen in Denver.

Right across the street they are building Comdo homes that I am told sell for no less then $500,000. OUCH!

Anyway, I should be getting a phone sometime this week, and cable TV (Digital Cable even) on Saturday. As soon as I get my new phone and phone number I can check to see if I get to keep my DSL service or go through the hell of finding a new one.

When was the last time Shawn posted?? Like a month ago or more. I swear I'm taking over this place. It's mine.. it's mine.. it's ALL MINE!!! And how boring it must be now. I swear I'm going to have to think of something hot to write.. and seeing as today I'm offically unemployed and not in school and not really doing anything (yeah.. it kinda vibes me thanks for noticing.. I've been sketching myself for the past few weeks saying that it's the holiday season therefore I'm only on "vacation" or "holiday".. but today.. I can't keep up the sketch any longer.. because it's the 2nd of January.. and the holiday season is over and all goes back to normal.. or to relative normalicy.. and I am out of school and out of work.. blah blah blah blah blah..) except now I have to find a job and deal with the whole getting of the visa fun and exciting stuff. But the point I was trying to make was that I shall have a lot of extra time on my hands.. because really you can only spend so many hours in the day looking for a job and dealing with people.. until the working world stops at around 5 or 6 pm. But yeah, so I'm going to have some time to do stuff (and junk and things) so I will have plenty of opportunities to write something of perhaps slight interest to put up on here. And that children.. is my story..
