My four and a half year stay at Customer Research Inc has come to an end. Today, I was "encouraged to find other employment"... interpret that as you will... due to my becoming frustrated and leaving the building to release that frustration. The boss said there were other reasons, but did not cite any in particular. I think my tendency toward whistle blowing and standing up for my rights as an employee likely were the incited reasons.
So, here I am, on a precipice. Should I go strait into the search for a new job, or should I take the summer off and get out there searching when the summer season is over and all those young'uns go back to school. The added bonus to this would be having time free for Ren Faire and other activities... the down side would be that it would eat away at my savings. Another down side would be the question "why were you with out a job for 2 months at this [point in time?" that potential employers might ask. I was thinking aim for getting a job in September, right after Faire season ends... you know start the hunt in August with the hope of finding a job by mid September (just in time for the start of the school year).
Oh, that is another piece of news. I have decided what I want to do with my life. I want to be an elementary school teacher. I have enrolled at HCC, as a step toward this goal.
And in other news, I have a cell phone. I went ahead and got a TracFone... I tell my self it is because I want to make it easier for potential employers to contact me and to make planning with friends easier. If you would like my number (and I deem you worthy), ask and you may receive. I do not plan on using it as my primary contact, so the home phone is still my preferred contact method. Ask for that too, if you would like it.
And that brings this edition of News about Adam to a close.

Escape Reunion
I am throwing together an impromptu get together this Saturday (the 21st of June) at Seahurst Park in Burien at 5pm to ???? (usually this means half an hour later, but hopefully longer) for people that were part of the Burien Library Escape Program, The Order of Roving Vigilance or Friday Late Night at the Purple Door. This idea was given to me by a person that is back in town for a visit and had the idea. The plan is for a potluck type event with everybody bringing something to share and stuff. Maybe somebody brings Cranium and we see if we still have all the answers memorized. So we have fun and just catch up and remember old times. So
Holloween protocals
So, I have seen and heard of disturbing trends in Halloween. Fewer and fewer kids are out trick or treating. People tell me that they only get 1 or 2 groups other than me, and I trick or treat at the tail of prime time (6pm to 9pm), because I am at work until about 9pm. That means I get only an hour at the end of prime trick or treating time and up to an hour after prime from 9pm to 10pm. I hit houses at the end and they have not had any other trick or treaters. These are not houses out in the boonies or like that one that is between Normandy Park and Burien we went to that one year that had not had trick or treaters for the better part
Finally unloaded my camera
Finally unloaded my camera. Pic of Faire, and game characters and all sorts of stuff to come... once i am don procrastinating....
frustration
So, we (me and my roommate) have taken another housemate on for the Summer. There was a little bit of confusion as to whom money should be given and some miscommunication on exactly how much... that all got worked out.
Then the nwe housemate and I discussed the rules. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you did not purchase something ask before consuming it. If you make long distance calls or order pay per view, you have to pay for it (my normal roommate and I had to have the long distance call discussion when he started calling Cali all the time and wanted me to cover half the bill). Knock before entering somebody's bedroom, because I sleep
