The Other Side Of Me

This Blog is a documentation, a day-to-day account of my coming out process. This is here so people can read, and see where i've made mistakes and where i've made progress, so that during their coming out they can attempt to avoid or emulate those things. It is also here, to show the struggle me and many others have faced, when coming to terms with our sexuality.

Somebody Up There Loves You... Direct TV

I'm now a Semi-proud Quasi-employee of a Hughes-ion company commonly known as Direct TV.

Right now i'm going for training... so i'll know what to do, instead of telling a caller that there guess is as good as mine; which at this point it's true.

Ok, here is how to goes:

Training will be from 3:15pm to 11:45pm.

Training will be 3 weeks, then 2 weeks on the job training.

I start Training today (Monday, December 05, 2005). I have to go in early so i can get my badge and stuff, have to get a parking permit and everything. So, i'm no longer unemployed (read: free)... *Sniff*

I get about $8.50 an hour for the Training then after the training i get $9.50 an hour. Also after 6mos i get free DirectTv! Wooooooo. and stuff. Plus i get some spending cash!

I just hope i don't get anyone too bitchy on the phone; 'cause if i do i might just hang up on them... Right after turning off their service... j/k.

So please get DirectTV and tell'em that their best employee ever (me) convinced you to go Direct TV instead of Dish and Cable... Remember: Brian Allen Smith is the one that convinced you! Made you pick them over Dish and Cable. And mention something about a raise or promotion or parade in my name. Then end it with, "God bless that fine upstanding man".

Hmmm, I think you should sell that free dish on the Ebays when you get it... HAHA, we're gonna have to get you off that Win95 (TM) computer and onto a blazing fast WinME!! (And damn microphone!)

I heard Suse 10 just added buenos dias softmodem support, so you're gonna have to try that shit out. (I still recommend Ubuntu or Debian, though, but I'm a cunt.) This linux shit runs the hell out of the gizmos; I know that's right.

Poose, sad thing is... i have a copy of WinMe...

It came with my laptop. (well, a restore CD with WinME)..

I'm planning on keeping the Dish and crap, and upgradeing to a DVR+ or whatever... $100+ of service will run me only like $5.99 (the DVR service, only). So i can record shows while i'm working, then go home and watch them... so my whole entire life will revolve around DirecTV.

So far it seems easy enough.
