I tripped. So what?

Meh. Application was rejected. I knew that I did not pass some of the requirements, but it was worth taking a shot. Just like in Legacy of Kain Defiance, I wanted to bet that the coin would land on it's side. Alas, I am neither Kain nor Raziel. It did not land on its side. I did try though, that made me feel better than not trying at all. I don't want any kind of regrets whatsoever because I did not even exert any effort.

On the lighter side of things, I was acutally able to find some old cd's that I've been looking for ages. Also started to play Prince of Persia and XIII for the pc. I got my copy of those games when I purchased my processor. There was a promo, MSI 915p Neo2 Platinum (motherboard) + MSI Radeon RX600TX 126MB DDR (video card). The games were bundled with the vid card. I feel the computer is running out of memory at times tho, so next on my list would definitely be another stick of 512MB DDR2 RAM. Ahhh the expenses never stop. Well at least I can make good use of them.

Job Opening

As I was walking around the hallway in the office, I found out that there was a new opening for possible promotion . I was really happy when I saw it posted on the bulletin board but I was somewhat disappointed when I saw that I failed one of the metrics that was required for application. Sucks to be me, I know. But there was still a faint flame of hope when I saw that excemptions are still possible as long as it is approved by the Operations manager. This is something that I really need, I don't intend to be at the same position forever. I can and will take very chance for a possible promotion. The great thing about it too is that the position is still a techincal position which is something I enjoy minus all the hassle of talking to complete idiots and loosing my cool (well not really, it's just severely reduced).

I am so gonna prepare my resume later and hope that my application gets approved, hopefully get a shot at the interview and get promoted. Wish me luck!

I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK!

Got my computer back 2 days ago, had to reformat it and all that, so here I am again with another rant. I was scanning through my stuff in the hdd and when I came across this one folder, windows gave me a messed up message saying that the drive was not formatted. The heck it is!

Looks like the gods are demanding that I need to format another drive (the ones I'm using right now have multiple partitions). Sucks for me. At least my friend is gonna lend me a hdd to temporarily transfer some of my files there so nothing is lost.

Enough of the rants. Well at least my pc is faster now and I can start playing new games. Probably gonna get myself a copy of Doom3 or HalfLife 2. Another thing that I am extremely happy about is that when I purchased the 160gig hd that I'm using, the previous box that it was installed to could only detect 130 gigs of storage. When I switched to the new system, I found out the system was able to detect the extra space of roughly 25gigs! More games and download space for me!

It has begun

Wow, a blog. I never though that I would actually start doing something like this. And with most blogs I'll probably talk about my daily life and interests. Stuff that makes me *tick* and my world go around.

For the past week or two, my computer's tempreature has been getting real hot (reaching 70 deg. celcius). I can't even use it properly in the afternoon without turning on the airconditioning unit. Sucks for me since AMD's don't handle the heat that well and water cooling is out of the question for me. What's a guy to do? Shell out the cash and get some new parts for the pc. Switched back to a Pentium after about 4 or 5 years with AMD.

Talk about a major overhaul. New board, processor, ram, psu and vid card. At least the vid card was free with the board due to a promo by MSI. Gonna start building the pc once I get back from work tomorrow.
