Well I guess it's time to update something since my big move.
All right after weeks of packing my stuff, helping my parents pack there stuff helping with Grandchildren (I guess it'd be my nephew) I have finally made it to Kennewick Washington.
Well my first impressions of the town (Mainly from Google Maps) were that it was going to be just like Albany but in Washington weren't't TOTALLY off.
My first couple of days here, seemed promising I got two days of work out of Labor ready (Not bad considering I had to wait 'till Wednesday to sign up), I already had apps in at Wal-Mart, Toys R us, and a couple of other little things off of Craigslist, so things SEEMED to be looking pretty good.
Labor Ready on Monday Morning was dead as the Albany branch, the GOOD thing is that most people say that was the FIRST TIME they've ever seen that happen, and as for the Job Market...
Well I keep getting mixed messages,
One person will say there's TONS of jobs
Another will say there TONS of jobs... if you want to work at a mill
And others still will say it's as dead as a doornail
And as always I keep hitting the same dead ends as not qualifying for most of the work on the work force web site, or most of the jobs on Craigslist, so even finding places to fill out apps is hard, I guess I need to start hitting the fast food joints again.
Wal Mart, and Toys "R" Us give me the same runaround as always "Oh the person who's in charge of that isn't in today but they SHOULD call you tomorrow" or "We'll probably call sometime next week
The Unique layout of the Tri-Cities area I have to say is interesting, it's like you are cut off from the rest of the world by over 200 miles, but it has so much INSIDE why would you WANT to go to that horrid OUTSIDE?
Socially I haven't had much of a chance to go past My Sisters's or Labor Ready's walls and I'll virtually guarantee there isn't any "Fur Groups" up here..
I mean it's only been a week ... or so
It was funny when my sister 7 year old daughter asked me on like the third day "Do you have a girlfriend yet" and I was all "oh come on it's only been three days!" and heard her Dad yell "Geez dude stop dragging your feet!"
LOL
One weird thing is that for the longest time I've been wanting a Van so that in the event I need to get out of one friends house I can have a nice comfortable little setup in the van and just sit in peoples driveways rather than make people have to make room for me.
And As I was at Labor Ready there was a dude with a NICE 1983 Chevy Van trynna sell the thing for 500 bucks, and he was saying he might even take 400 for it.
It was a nice old van too it was owned first by and old dude who only drove it to random camping trips, and the current owner only used it as a way to not have to drive home when he was working on the orchids for harvest season, the only thing it didn't have was the back seats but I would want to put a bed back there any way, and had let rust than my Explorer.
It's always when I have no money these people appear you know... but oh well.
I need to assimilate a "Plan B" in case my fears happen to be true, but it's REALLY hard when you know no one, and have no money, and bla blah.
As for art I need to have a way to set up my old computer because my Laptop runs Windows 7, and my scanner is SOOOOO old that it only works with my old computer with runs XP.
I use an old Scanjet 3300c witch is so old it Literally came with software that made it compatible with windows 95!
They discover Electricity and then made this scanner. Don't get me wrong it's an awesome scanner, it just only works with older computers!
Also I hate to say it but I bought that "Invisimals" game, and I have been playing that WAY to much, I got an awesome deal though it sold for like 40 bucks, BUT the dude scanned my Driver license so I didn't have to pay taxes, scanned HIS game stop card so I got an employees discount AND I had trade ins so I only paid like 15 bucks for it, and honestly the only reason I wanted it was because it came with the PSP Camera something I've been wanting for like 3 years!
And I mean seriously where can you find a half descent digital Camera for less than that?
So who knows I might start making videos again or something, now that I can film for more that 3 minuets at a time and in WIIIIIIIIIIIIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAA NNNNNNNNNNN!
Start doing inking videos as well, now that I can actually film traditional media now.
ANYWHOO
I guess I'd better be Moseying along before this Journal gets too long...
One more thing though... THANK GOD I HAVE A GPS!!!!
