Night Game

It is great that I did not have to pay the rent in this paycheck.  Good weather day and one of the stockmen did not show up.      His girlfriend had a baby, but we had two other guys show up and the lot looked great.   Looking forward to the night practice, talking to Tom Bittner and get pictures sent to sent to the computer.

Launching Point

Today was an okay day due to the rain and thunderstorms, but had a funny moment. I thought I lost my keys, but they were in my locker.    I ate a Wendy's on the way home, plus got my ticket for the Braves on August 18th.   Tomorrow is payday for me and there are no bills that have to paid until August 14th.   There are lot of positive things going on and will use the money to start some things that mattered to me.

Active

Good day at work getting all of the carts from the lot and after work stop and got a pizza from County Market.    Dan talked to Tom Bittner and we are going to the game against the Texans on Oct 20th.  The reason it is less money for that game, but don't have to spend a lot for the preseason game against the Bills on August 16th.

Active Day


We ate at Denny's and then went to Westmoreland Mall, plus answered a trivia question getting a prize.    Went to Training Camp to see practice this afternoon and did something in the traveling Great Hall.    Did play by play on 4 classic plays there and got some to eat at GetGo.   Then did the laundry and listened to the Pirates defeat the Giants 5-0.

Camp Stop

Good day at work and may go to training camp tomorrow afternoon, but it will depend on the weather.  We will go to Denny's before hand and may talk about a few things as well.  Hopefully we might talk to some people at training camp stop at a restaurant.

Skill Set

I had a good day at work and after I came home two blogs were done.    I had the realization that I have a lot of different skills but no one is hiring me.  I am not discouraged about it but it is getting frustrated.   I get that I might have ADD or ADHD, and it is tough at times to stay focus.  I have a lot of challenges in life but it is not going to stop me.

Challenges

It was great off day and got some food from mom, plus some cash.   I will work the next two days and then I will get off Monday.   I will be going to Steelers Training Camp if it doesn't rain.   I am in good mood not because I got some food but I feel good things are going to happen.  Making adjustments on the fly and learning about myself.  The thing I have learned is that I have to improve in all phases and willing to try new things.

Come Together


Paperwork was sent out this morning and everything is set, but I have to wait 7-10 business days for them to receive it.  Ready for a day off and next week might go to Steelers Training Camp on Monday.   I don't worry about anything because it all coming together.

Paid Up

The weather was okay this afternoon and got a lot of work done today.   The lot looked in pretty good shape, and will take care of the PHEAA paperwork tomorrow at the bank.  I am not worried about anything because all of the bills this month have been paid.

Night at PNC

Enjoyed the night a PNC Park with the Pirates defeating the Dodgers 12-7.   It had everything homeruns to beanballs, plus some ejections.   Will take of the PHEAA paperwork on Thursday morning and have to make some decisions about that will affect me short and long term.

Long Day

It was a warm day outside and we managed to keep the tunnel in good shape.  Looking forward to tomorrow night at PNC Park.  The weather will be okay so the game will be great.  New mail address and new attitude is emerging so things will be done sooner than later.

Patience

Sometimes I have lost perspective on things because I want it all and I don't want to wait.  Patience is something that I have to learn and I must show that in order to become a success.  Good day at work and got the lot in great shape and looking forward to some good things in the near future.

Frustations.

Good day at work despite the weather being a problem.   I was feel that no matter how much you put out at work you have to do the same thing the next day.  It is not a problem for me to do, but their are times that I struggled with one thing.   It is that I don't know what I can truly can achieve.    There are so many frustrations that happen every day and it wears on you.   Lack of money and opportunities are the main problems, but I can't let that get me down.

Big Weeks

Good day at work and the week was a good one for me.  New connections via LinkedIn and took care of all of the business of this month meaning all bills are paid in full.  Looking forward to going to PNC Park for the game against the Dodgers.   Then next week is going to Latrobe for Steelers Training Camp and a night practice on August 1st.  The vacation is starting August 16th and going to a Steelers pre season game and another Pirates game as well.

Found out my about the money order machine is not working so I have to sent the rent out tomorrow.   Everything went well and going to the store tonight and will get Dan a blizzard at Dairy Queen.  I got a haircut and don't have to worry about bread and a couple other things at the store that I got this afternoon.

Birthday


Tomorrow is my Mom Birthday's and she has already have her gift and card.   She is a big part of my life and that is why I am trying so hard to become a success.  I am trying to get my big break but no luck as of yet.  I will not give up no matter how difficult things get at times.   I had an audition with the Fan 93.7 but it didn't work out.  It was a learning experience for me.  The advice I got was I need a lot more work so I would not get tense or nervous.

Lot


Today was a good day because it was raining in the morning and then it cleared out during the afternoon.   I have a lot of help to take care of the lot, and marked down my  vacation time in Mid-August.  I am hopefully that things will started around late July because I would have all my bills paid up by then.

Rolling

Today was a mixed day with the weather sometimes rainy and then sunny.   The tunnel was filled up later on in the day.   My Mom's birthday is Wednesday and she already has her present and card. The Pirates had another tough loss today, but 3.5 back going into the All-Star break. Maybe a big move will happened before the trade deadline on July 31st.  I am at point in my life that things have to be done.   Every day is not a do or die situation but I have to take positive steps to have a good future.

Effort

 In the past, I have been very critical of young people and that is because I have been in the parking lot seeing and observing them doing nothing. There is so much untapped potential, and they are making no effort to do something with their lives.   I also get frustrated when I am making the effort and do things right, but no big break as of yet. Well, no matter what I will not give up and keep trying hard as I can.

New Beginning

Today, Gary brought me over food and my tax papers so I have already taken care of it.  I have to mail the copy and they will send in my new form.   As for the future the first step has been taken. I have understood it will take a lot of hard work and nothing is given but it is earned.  I have the opportunity to getting to a lot of things done in the next six months.   I can't wait to get started on my new life.

6 Months

It has been six months since 2014 started and they have been some good things, and one disappointment. The good things new blogs and advice from family and friends.  New things via LinkedIn that opened some doors for me. The audition from the Fan was a disappointment, but was a learning experience for me.   Instead of feeling sorry for myself I am going to do everything I can to make the rest of the year great for me.  As for the future the best is yet to come.

Good day at work the lot was outstanding for the whole day and evening.  We finally got all of the posters up, and Dan got pictures of them all.  He will send the pictures to Tom on August 1st.    Looking forward to Friday to get the paperwork and taking care of the loan and getting ready for the rest of the year.  She will also bring meatloaves for me and Dan.

Mixed Reviews

I had a great evening with Dan eating at Denny's then stopped at Tom Bittner's house to get some posters.    The only problem is the tape is bad and have to get the good stuff tomorrow.    Pirates lose another walk off to the Cardinals on home run.  Talked to mom and will get the loan mess straighten out, plus get some meat loaf on Friday.

Change in Plans

I had a chance to go to the new Dollar Tree and it is a nice place for me to get things. Checked in with PHEAA and they changed some of the rules so I need some paperwork from my tax form and once they get it everything will be straightened out.  Then  I came concentrate on getting my degree and starting a new career.

Restless

We got all of the carts today even though there was three cart pushers today.   I had a hard time getting some rest because I was restless.  Restless due to the fact I am pushing carts instead of doing what I want to do. Right now there are no new opportunities and that what bothers me.    I want to do so much but I have a short attention span.  I don't know if I have ADD or ADHD, and sometimes I zone out outside in the parking lot.  If there is a problem I have to corrected it as soon as possible.

Learning

I was outside and was almost hit by a car and can't let down my guard out there.   While outside I realized that I have to challenged myself physically and intellectually. It mean I have to keep myself in shape via diet and exercise. Intellectually I have to learn a foreign language or singing or acting.    I need to work on a plan b and so forth.   As far as my degree goes I will get it sometimes next year.

Saturday, July 5, 2014

Aspect

Today was good day and we have no problems getting the carts in the tunnel.   There will be a change coming soon.   I have thought out how to get my degree and it will happen sometime next year.  I am putting together a plan to get the money for it.   I am no longer going to waste time worrying about things that I can't control.  I can control how my attitude is and working to get all aspect of my future in order.

Holiday

Today was a great day because I got a response from a LinkedIn group. The workday was okay because it got slower as the day continued.   The lot was in great shape after I left.    Talked to my mom today and thank her for the card and cash.  Pirates won over the Phillies 8 to 2.    I will go to the Dollar Tree on Monday to see what they have. I sometimes forget how good I have it and that because I want to have success, plus my patience is starting wear thin.

Futureshock

I have at times been tense and frustrated about my situation whether it money or career prospects.   The timing at times have been very bad either I can't get the day off or don't have enough money.   Well, now the wages are not garnished so I can get my degree paid off and start saving some money to do something.    I have to paid for some Steelers preseason tickets and for a regular season game.   My pal Randy also tells me via Facebook that I stay up too much.   Well, I have to work on the habit and try to get everything in order for a bright future.

Fireworks

I had a good time at Jenny's party and we got a lot of food to take home.   Before that I had two bills paid, put money in the saving account, got picture and money from mom.  Then I went to the grocery store and missed the Pirates give 7 runs in the 9th inning to lose to Arizona 10-2.  I have a lot things on my mind about the future but can't be overwhelmed by them.    I have to work the next three days before having a day off on Monday.    I have plans for the next two paychecks and will put together something big.

Another Day

It was another hot day at work and was somewhat comfortable.   There were some carryouts, but mostly it was about the carts.    I am glad that I have tomorrow off so I can pay my bills and go the store before we go to a friend house for a party.   I am so frustrated about nothing happening in my career.  I was told to have a plan b and concentrate on writing for a magazine or newspaper.  The money situation is getting better, but still dealing with student loans.  The problem is my schedule and put things together.   So if anyone could help me please let me know.
