Today is a day...

... not much unlike any other day. Well, then again it is a day unlike most others in that I am taking defensive driving. That sucks. It isn't that it is hard or long but that it is so stupid. Yesterday I got through half of the program, so just 3 more hours to go! So, I thought my DVD burner went out as I couldn't burn anything at all on the brand new disks my mother bought me. 100 new disks and not a one would work... I reformated my computer to make sure it wasn't a software problem and still no luck. I then pulled out an old DVD-r so as to see if it was just the disks and the old one worked fine! I was so pissed as there went 100 dvd's and all the money spent on them just to find out they don't work... Anyhow, I complained to Donald about it and he thought it was stupid that they didn't work and it was a long discussion of sorts and at midnight I kicked him out. On his way back home he called me and said he was standing at the dumpster by my building where he had found what looked to be 2 more 100 count dvd's the same as mine, asked if I wanted him to pick them up for me as none of them had been used. I told him to get them because if we couldn't get them to work we could always sell them on ebay. yesterday I went to his apartment and looked at them and they were both just a little different than the ones I had, I tested them and they work!!! I now have 200 dvd's that can be burned on... now if you don't know, I had been pricing the 100 sets and they were running on average at about $75 pluse shipping.... so I just got a great deal! So now I get to waste my time burning dvd's and all that fun stuff! The job is going great, the guys are great and my position was supposed to last only 6 months as a test run, well they have decided they like me quite a lot and have already told me they want me to start at 30 hours a week in January! I really lucked into this job. Take care and leave a comment;) Aaron
