With regards to my lackidasical nature...

My apologies my dear readers, it has almost been three weeks since my last post and I feel bad for leaving you all hanging. Well I'm done with K Mart and am now working for Valor Industries as a computer tech. This is a much better job. I never told you about my video game tournament but basically, I went, I saw, I played, and I conquered. My issues with my roommates are still extremely frustrating. I will go into those more in a different post. They are too irritating and in depth to go over in this little apology ;-). The wedding plans are going great, we're getting a lot of things ready and should be ready for it. I enjoyed spring break this week, although it seemed to fly by far too fast. I'm hoping the next 6 weeks will go by quickly and then I'll be done with my first year of school and will only have maybe 5 left :-\. This is all I've really got for you guys now, more soon to follow...

With regards to life at present...

So here I am, sitting in my blogging chair while I think of something to write. I have had some very interesting going ons lately. Some of you may have read my two weeks' notice fore _ Mart. I am very relieved to have completed that and submitted it. I just feel better knowing that I will soon be free from that oppression. I also did exceptionally well on the mid term for my chemistry class. I scored an 83 (89 with the curve) which is really quite amazing considering my past scores. I am really excited and am hoping that this half of the semester will start looking up for me. If I can continue to do this good I may be able to pull an A in the class which would be amazing. Yesterday while I was in chemistry my professor told us about the homework. About how he felt people were not getting all the points because they felt like they might be cheating the system. He told us it would be ok if we did that and so he basically told us to cheat. However with his assignments you have to cheat in order to complete them by the time they are due. He usually doesn't go over the subject matter in the homework until at least two or three days after the it is due. I know that we're supposed to read ahead but he expects far too much for a 100 level class (4 hours of out of class reading a night). His expectations are ridiculous as are his tests and teaching style. He makes me question why I am paying so much money for this kind of class, but oh well. I will just do my best. That is all you really can do.

On a slightly different note; I have acquired all 7 seasons of Star Trek the Next Generation and are really quite enjoying them. I am not a fan of Security Officer Tasha Yar or William Riker without facial hair but I guess I'll just grin and bear it. (I'm halfway through season 1 right now) William Riker is really a ladies' man, whether he is on the bridge, holo-deck or foreign planets. More would probably follow on the subject but I know most of you don't care so I'll just skip to the parts that are less about a favorite TV show.

This is pretty much all I have time for right now. I just woke up this morning feeling great and decided I'd write a blog post before I actually communicated with the world and realized how great it really isn't. I also recently won a Call Of Duty Black Ops tournament on PS3. I won a $65 gift card to Gamestop, but I'll go into that on another post.
I'm out,

With regards my employment...

And here is the second to final chapter in my experience at K Mart. This is my two weeks notice as it was left in an envelope for my manager tomorrow morning:

To whom it may concern,

            It has come to my attention that my services are no longer necessary at this facility. For this and several other reasons I hereby tend my resignation with the submittal of this my two weeks’ notice.  I would inform you that the final day of my employment with the K Mart Corporation will be on the eighteenth day of March in this the year of our lord, two thousand and eleven. During my course of employment with this corporation I have experienced several things which have made me feel both uncomfortable and morally compromised; I have been offended by both corporate policies and local management on several occasions. I also feel that I should not be employed in a place where my financial security is dependent on how well I am able to emotionally please those who act as supervisors to the general store operation. I also feel that I should not be employed at a facility where the before mentioned financial issue forces oneself to become a debtor in order to provide the necessities of life, i.e. food, housing, etc. I also feel that my employment should not continue at a facility where communication between supervisors and associates is viewed as something to be completed at convenience and not out of necessity.  For these and several other reasons do I submit this two weeks’ notice for the purpose to notify the management and corporate offices that I will be terminating my employment with K Mart. If any clarification is needed or there are any questions please feel free to contact me.

            Sincerely,

            Daniel G. Peterson

I figured I'd share that with your guys for your enjoyment. He he he.
