Kurt Cobain - "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."
Wow... good one Kurt!
Anyway, now for a topic that has nothing to do with that quote by Mr. Cobain... I'm just here at work, getting ready for a job interview (via telephone) in a while. I really think it's odd that I might get a good summer job for someone who's in wildlife science, but can't even come close (apparently) to getting a good summer job for a prospective law student. I'm applying to work for the UDWR (Utah Division of Wildlife Resources) for this upcoming summer. Wish me luck!
It at least pays well, so that's good. Perhaps if I do go into environmental law then it will contribute to my résumé.
Umm...k, see ya.

Pinnacle, Happy Gilmore and Wednesday Thoughts!
Hi!
I am actually kind of enjoying the new Pinnacle job. This is the most recent in various telephone jobs I have had before, and it's definitely the best of them all. While there's not tons of variety, there is SOME. Which makes it superior to said previous jobs. I'm an account creation guy, so I answer phone calls from the poor salesmen and techs across the country and in Canada and create new customer accounts (data entry) and give them information they need. It's easy, and I answer six different types of phone calls, which is better than making the same out-bound phone call with the exact same script for 8 hours a day. (That was what the rest of my telephone jobs consisted of. Yeah, not great.) Anyway, I'm happy about it.
Sometimes I like getting drenched in the rain. Super random thought. It hasn't even happened recently, but there's something very pleasing about it that I can't really explain. I guess it's just the child in me that enjoys being completely drenched... cool, huh? Am I alone in this?
"Doing the bull-dance, feeling the flow, workin' it, workin' it." I'm just watching Happy Gilmore and enjoying it. It's odd that of all the Adam Sandler movies Happy Gilmore is the one I own. It's definitely not my favorite, although it is making me laugh at the moment. Anyway, yeah, that's all. Bye.

Happy Wednesday Thoughts Day!
Well, it's Wednesday Thoughts Day... time for some thoughts!
I enjoy the feeling of getting a job even more when I have had a hard time getting one. Yes, I officially have a job now. I will be working this summer doing Account Creation (Data Entry) for Pinnacle Security. I'm pretty happy just to have a job finally. It was especially nice when they asked, "Are you okay with working Saturdays?" Instead of the comment everyone else would say, "Now, we are open on Sunday, so you'll have to work Sundays." It was also a bonus when they told me that this was "just" a seasonal position. That's "just" what I wanted! Good stuff.
I've never stuck to a workout regimen longer than a few weeks before, but I think this one is actually for real. I'm uber sore. I have two workouts that I alternate each day, and they each workout different muscles, so after working out today and yesterday for the first time in a while, I'm sore ALL OVER! It feels good though to have worked out hard enough to get me to this point, so I'm determined to stick with this. Wish me well!
Thought Three: I'm hungry. I've realized that these thoughts are not at all profound, nor do they seem like my normal thoughts. They're really just more of me-updates. Sorry I'm not a great blogger, but thanks for reading anyway!

Wednesday Evening Thoughts...
I think Barack Obama's grace-period is about over now. It seems that every regime-shift president has a period after their election where the media will spin or report everything in a positive way for them. By regime-shift I just mean the one that comes in to really change how things have been, or at least under that pretense. Barack Obama is the epitome of that kind of new president. However, it seems that his grace-period is ending. I just now finally started seeing some criticism of Barack Obama's moves in the popular media. Which makes total sense because after all... we are a scapegoat-loving nation. We still have a lot of serious issues, and turns out Barack Obama's star-power wasn't enough to instantly solve them. I don't think he should be blamed for our problems, but it really doesn't seem like his oft-mentioned "First 100 Days" have done all that much. Anyway, I certainly wish that his star-power had been enough to solve the nation's woes instantly, instead of just encouraging the largest jump on the list of baby names ever (Barack shot up the list of most popular boy's names). Then I wouldn't want to ask him, "Mr. Obama, where are the jobs you promised?" That rant is over.
I think those new Comcast commercials are FREAKY!!! Have you seen them? They're the ones where they sing kind of monotone and it's animated in a slightly realistic way, but reminds me of The Sims games. They always end with them spelling out Comcast. Anyway, they creep me out! I can't really explain it, but I guess it's mostly just the monotone way they sing. This isn't exactly what they're like, but it's super close:
Hahahaha... on the other end of the spectrum, I just saw an awesome commercial by Intel that I like a lot. It was an office scene with just a rock song playing and everyone was moving in slow motion. Then they all stop working at look at this short old guy as he's walking into the room. They all swarm around him and hold up papers for his autograph and one guy opens his button-up shirt to reveal a t-shirt with the guy's face on it. It then shows at the bottom of the screen that his name is Ajay Bhatt, the co-inventor of the USB. Then it says, "Our rock stars aren't like your rock stars." Anyway... it might not sound funny, but I thought it was hilarious. And I learned who one of the inventors of the USB is! I just found it! CHECK IT OUT!
