New Job and other crap.

I received and took an offer with AT&T, I have completed the background and the UA so the job is definately mine. If I hit my quota each month with my base salary I will be making ~$40k a year. They are part of a union so I will be joining and that and under the current union contract there is a .40 to .50 raise every 6 months. I think it is going to be very cool, I am going to try to get into management as soon as possible.

They will be sending me to training in San Antonio for 2 weeks, I will spend a week there then home for a week and then another week there. I am kind of excited to go but at the same time apprehensive is the best word for it. They are paying for all my expenses and that is pretty damn cool. The pressure is on to get a laptop before I leave because staying in a hotel with no internet and no poker would drive me nuts. I found an IBM that is not the newest model but one step back and it still has the aftermarket video card in it which is important to me. It is like $900 so I will probably buy that.

Of course after my last post with all the poker in it I had a little cold stretch, I lost like 3 buy-ins over my next two sessions, but yesterday I put in a big session and won 5 buy ins. That puts me at +6 buy-ins for the month, I am pretty sure that I can maintain, lets hope so. I played 2 donkaments yesterday and couldn't get shit going. I got coolered in a couple of big hands, no big deal becuase tournaments are a crap shoot anyway.

I joined Facebook a long time ago becuase there were some 2p2 guys on there and they made a group. Kevin friended me and then I didnt login for quite some time. John Millsap friended me and then all of the sudden I am getting lots of invites. So now I have quite a few friends on Facebook, the whole myspace/facebook thing baffles me. People who I was not even friends with in high school friend me and its kind weird. It is like seeing people I know from high school when I am out some place, usually we were not good friends but they know who you are and come up and say hello and then there is the awkward pause while you both try to find something to talk about. It is very weird.

I guess that is all for now, I will update soon.

Until later.
