Preecher’s World

Bummer

Posted in Life on May 3rd, 2008

  So I applied for a new position at my job and today I found out that I didn’t get it,which was really no big deal at all but what pissed me off was the cookie cutter reason why I didn’t get it. I cant stand that just tell me the real reason why I didn’t get the job so that i could have something to build on, not the same crap you tell everyone. I mean really out of everyone that applied I have the best resume and I am not bragging about it but I have more experience then most of the people I work with in mu field plus I have two degrees, one which happens to be in internet security and yet I didn’t get it.

  I don’t get it what is this world coming to when your education is worth the paper it is written on, to top it off I was extremely sick the day of my interview but I worked the whole day anyway. I mean it I didn’t care I wanted to show how dedicated I was that I was dope up on meds and wiping snot, now you might say well thats not the best way to interview. What you don’t know is that the people interviewing me work with me everyday , they already know everything about me so what would be the big deal I mean they already new I was sick before I got there.

  Not to mention some of the scenarios I was given made no sense what so ever, but thats what happens when you work with people who pretty much fix the same problems everyday and then they act like they know  how to really fix real pc issues. But I held my head up high and went back to work like it was no big deal because I knew that I was going to stick to my guns and have a back plan.

  I told my wife and family that if I didn’t get this position then there was no real reason for me to stay there because in my eyes I am selling myself short. So now my mission is to start looking at the different offers I get daily and I really mean i get them and have turned them down daily ( thanks to Monster.com). On top of that I am starting my own business on the side.

  The only good thing about my current position is that it is almost second nature to me now and no one really bothers me, it also allows me the time I need to work on my side jobs like the pc repairs and websites I tweak. It is also allowing me time to setting up the security seminars that I have been planning, which in its self is a great thing.

  I know one thing for sure the day I decide to turn in my two week notice is the day they will all ask the same question. WHY?

Work and Stress

Posted in Life on May 1st, 2008

  Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a stress free environment, where everyone got a long you were actually happy to work there. You know the kind of place that made you happy to wake up in the morning, kiss your family goodbye and then get into your car and drive to work in heavy traffic and bad weather.

   Yeah I guess we all have that dream and maybe for some of us it will come true but for the rest of us it may never happen. No not for us because that’s not how we operate, I mean why should I like coming to work everyday and using my gas and with the way prices are now that’s no to cheap in anyway. Plus I have to deal with users and their rude behavior when in reality I am here trying to help them out with their problems.

  So how could we or do we make a stress free work environment, well I do not know I have yet to find it, people are the way they are and most of them will never change. One way I cope with it is I leave it at work, yes that’s right I leave my personal problems if I have any at the time at home and I always leave my work stress at work. Never bring home the work stress it is not fair to your family or the people around you. Once you walk out those doors at then end of your day forget what ever happened and start a new home life day.

  

That’s all for now .

Wal-Mart

Posted in Life on April 30th, 2008

336x280 Ok so I have been sick all week and really wanted to take off of work for a day to rest up so my wife and son wouldn’t catch what I have but things kept coming up and I didn’t have a day I could take off until Friday. So Friday comes and I take the day off and take my son to school and then proceed to lay on the couch to kick this bug.

Nothing was on TV so I decide to see what was on demand and see what movies I could watch, I found this documentary about Wal-Mart, now this was some thing I wanted to see because one of my classes in school when I was finishing my B.A was about world culture and the main focus of the class was Wal-Mart. The movie I watch on Wal-Mart on Friday was like nothing I had seen before, just the way the company treats the community it is in and the people who live and work there was disturbing.

Since I have seen that documentary I have vowed to never shop there or Sams club which they own also ever again. I am also getting my friends and family to do the same by shopping in other stores. Even though it ay seem like this only affects small towns, in reality the affects are felt by all of us.

I set out online to find some information about people who are standing up to this company and found a few websites that I felt needed mentioning, here are some links to them and I urge anyone reading this to not just take my word for it but to look into it on your own and see how building a Wal-mart in you community will affect you and your kids.
