❤️‍🩹 Certified for CPR

Sat, 07 Oct 2023 19:21:00 +0000

A while back I saw an email come through at work about how I could sign up and then become certified in performing CPR. I had never done something like this, so I should sign up.

The class consisted of studying online and taking a few quizzes, followed by in-person instruction about performing CPR ( Performed on a dummy) and a discussion about choking and applying bandages to major wounds.

🎉 A New Job with UTAC.

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0000

The " vacation" is over! I accepted a role with UTAC as an IT System Administrator at their Northville, Michigan office. This will be a fun and exciting change from the world of Linux and Web Hosting,, which I have been immersed in for what seems like an eternity.

Not only will the responsibilities change, but I will also now report to an office outside my home for part of the week. I am looking forward to the commute as I figure it will allow me to get caught up on some reading ( audiobooks), and this also gives me a reason to dust off my Spotify account and perhaps upgrade to the premium account again to avoid some commercials. The interactions with people face to face are also going to be a change from the previously random Zoom/Google Meet meetings that I was accustomed to as well!

💼 3yrs at Kinsta

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 14:33:04 +0000

I have been meaning to make a post about this since February 11th which was my 3-year anniversary at Kinsta, but alas time has gotten away from me.

When I started at Kinsta I came into a sales role, I was the sole salesperson for some time before others joined in and things started to take shape. I am now the Sales Engineer for Kinsta, and my days are filled with working with our Sales Representatives, answering their questions, and helping to close sales using my technical background.

1yr in Vegas

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:23:29 +0000

The date had almost slipped me by. I have now been living in Vegas for 1yr, 6 months longer than I really would have cared for. I moved to Vegas to get out of computers for a bit and attempt to work at one of the many clubs or casinos… And if you know where I stand now, and you know that didn’t happen. Instead, I ended up working for a company that provides support for all of the casinos and bars.

Bad Gojo

Since I work in a factory, we have this hand soap in the bathrooms called Gojo Pumice hand soap. Besides its orange smell, it has the texture of gravel. I think that it is created locally from dirt and the local orange fields. I just had to share this.

I like to burn things

Well, the new, slightly better site design is up… at least on the main page; I’m working on the gallery and then the how-to section. I will leave an update as soon as that’s complete…

Also, work sucks, just like it always does. Also, if you are using Netscape or Mozilla, then you might notice that the weblog doesn’t display quite right.

Brief Update

Well, not much new in life, same boring shit day after day. I haven’t had much time to work on the site… not that anyone comes here anyways. I did get the Petosky Images uploaded to the gallery.

Work was pretty fun yesterday and a little bit fun today, we found that a co-worker here has made a site where we can add text to the LED marquee… the joy of a job in a cubicle… 😛 ok, well, I don’t feel like typing, so here is a picture.
