Apple Update

So the flight in was just fine. The night before I had a night out with some of my friends. I spent the day with my Best friend Jeremy and the evening in Boston at The Alley. Let's just say I should have worn a bib. I mean the place was wall to wall hot bears. I had died and gone to heaven. I crashed at a friends place Saturday night and he gave me a ride to the airport the next day after having lunch at Redbones, a fantastic southern BBQ place.

The flight was not bad really, in fact we arrived in San Jose early. Wish they fed us better, but hey.. can't have it all. I do have to share my hotel room... but the room is more like a mini 2 bedroom apartment. We each have our own bedroom, there is a common area, a kitchen and a bathroom. Which is cool.

Come to find there are just 3 Mac Genii on this entire trip period. Everyone else is here for training as on other things. So the class is very focused and we can learn a lot more given that there are fewer people to share the teacher with.

There is a lot I can not disclose, such is the responsibility of working for Apple. So most of my posts regarding my stay here will be brief, by comparison. I can say that I took my OS Exam today. I did not meet my goal. My goal was to score a 90% or better. I scored an 89.83%. :( Probably some question I was just being retarded about. Had I taken a bit more time I would have most likely gotten the question and achieved my goal. So I am a bit upset about not achieving my goal. It's a thwarted intention. But it is satisfying to have passed and to have that part of the testing over. I look forward to learning all I can here.

This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me. I have excellent paths to create an amazing career here with Apple.

I don't think I will be able to enjoy California the way I'd like to. I mean, my two class mates are assumed to be straight. Well one is no doubt straight. But things like... going to San Fransisco and exploring the Castro? I doubt it. If I drove and had either my own rental or my own ability to drive the group rental I'd have a better time on the weekend. But I will do whatever and absorb as much info as I can. I will leave here with the ability to WOW the customers and my managers. My life is not just getting back on track, it is exceeding what I left behind thus far.

Til next time chulos!

Apple...

I GOT THE JOB CHULOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSS!!!!

I am an official Apple employee! Tomorrow I go in to fill out the paperwork and to receive my computer. They pay is excellent, especially for living in MA. I get full health and dental, a 401k, stock, all of my certifications and the opportunity to get into Apple big time! I am so very excited about this. I have been an Apple fan for a log time and I can not believe I am about to embark on a huge leap in my career. This is absolutely fantastic!

I leave for California next Sunday for my 2 weeks of training.

Did I say I am excited?

An Apple Update

So I had my meeting today. I was so nervous. I sat down, I answered their questions, they had me ask them questions and just like that the meeting was over.

Walking around the streets of Boston all I could do was beat myself up about my answers to their questions. Linger over some of the things they said. Cast doubts on how things went.

So I get home at 9:45pm after being at the MB and there are messages for me on my phone. It's from Stacey!!! The Apple Recruiter whom I met last Monday. She said they weere thrilled to have met me and want to know if I can come back into Boston tomorrow!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG...

If I can pull off tomorrow what I did today this job is MINE!!!

Wish me luck chulos!

Spy vs Spy

I was at Blu, work, Saturday from 2pm til 4am. God I wanted to gauge my eyes out with a rusty tuna can lid. But some fun did happen during the day. One of the patrons whom is also in the cabaret show, Dan, Was wearing all white with a hat like mine and I was in all black. It was an awesome site. He is light I am brown, he is short I am tall. It was like looking at a total opposite. Very Spy vs Spy. So one of the other members of the Cabaret cast decided to take pictures with her phone. The pictures aren't the best, but hell they are fun. So enjoy chulos!

Next Moves and Being Slutty

I have reached 2 strange paths. Paths I had never thought I would have to cross. Well one of em' I knew I'd have to cross... but the other... not so much.

I am planning my next move with PTS, but I am unsure as to how to go about it. No... not asking him to be my BF just yet, more left to do... like financial security. But I do want to make seeing him a regular thing. Like once a week. But I don't know how to go about making that happen. I mean do I make a call and leave the ball in his court? Do I just forget about him for a bit and let him come to me? I hate this game and I don't play it very well. As a friend said to me, "What if he is doing the same thing and no one ever calls?". Which seems silly, doesn't it. I don't usual play this dating game... but what else am I to do? Maybe he'll call me back. I left him a message telling I should be at the Alley tomorrow night and staying with a friend in Somerville.

The other thing is my libido and how I have been indulging it waaayyyy too much. I don't know what I should do. I mean on one hand I love the attention, on the other I really don't WANT to be known as the guy who fucked all of Worcester. I mean given the reputation of others, I have a LONG way to go before that happens. I guess I just don't want to make a habit out of it that's hard to break when my special someone comes along. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that my work situation leaves me with a lot of free time in which I occupy myself with sex. Perhaps when this Apple thing comes through.. less time might equal less free time for sex and my libido will calm down a little. Or it may not calm down at all and I end up fucking some co-worker or customer. LAWL

So the questions are:

Do I let him come to me?

and

Should I continue indulging my libido like a fat kid in a fudge shop with too much money?

An Update on the MB Piece...

Here is my update on the poster I did for the MB's Leather Night. It pops a bit more.

Another Piece

This one is for The M.B Lounge here in town. I was accosted to help their local guy who is learning to make posters work on one for a leather night. I offered to do the main poster for them,the one that gets printed in Hi-Rez and will be in the window... not the fliar the guy is working on, as I know I could do better. So here is the Poster I created. If they like it, it will stay the way it is. If the guys at the MB have changes then it will change.I like it for what it is. Give the customer what they want. :)

Enjoy chulos!

Apple and A Piece...

Where on God's green hell do I start?

Well, why not at the beginning. So this Sunday I was able, with the help of my friend James, to make my way to Boston. I ended up staying with a friend and having a great time!(Upon some good advice, some things should remain private... from a good friend)

Apple Interview

So Monday morning we wake, shower and headed on our merry way. my friend had given me a ride to Peabody where I was to meet with Stacey, the MA recruiter for Apple. I met with her and the spoken interview went VERY well. I even shared with her how I was able to get FrankenMac back up and running despite it's file system issue, which seemed to impress her a great deal. She gave me the Tech Screening test and I did VERY well with it. Remember this whole thing came about by Apple contacting me, not the other way around. I did so well in fact that she would like to try and place me in the flagship store they are opening in May in Boston.

She has to do a background check on me, which will come up clean and failing the flagship store I will still get my first choice of heading to the Cambridge store. I have the Cambridge meeting on Friday if I don't hear back regarding the flagship. This is all to be a Mac Genius. If things go well I will be heading to Cupertino, CA in the next week or so. Yay! If I get this job... my life as it stands right now changes big time! I mean I can pay my rent, fix my license, get a car, move to my own place. I am looking forward to this. I mean I know I can not count my chickens before they are hatched, but I am keeping positive on this. This job is mine.

A Piece

Well I have been in talks with the President of the Northeast Ursamen about doing the Graphic Design for their events. What I have here is NOTHING BUT A CONCEPT. I like the way it came out. I am sure there are things to tweak and the photos I get will be from the Northeast Ursamen, so this is going to change a lot. But I like it. I hope they do too along with all of you chulos out there.

Enjoy!

An Update...

Well I haven't updated you guys on my own little reality. I have been talking. That's the best way to start anything right? Talking? Any how, I had told him about my meeting with the Apple recruiter and suggested hanging out. Surprisingly he said yes. So I find out today that my meeting will be this coming Monday at 11am. Yay!

Now as I I have said in the past, I am not looking to be parked outside of anywhere with a U-Haul the next morning. That if I come on strong it's just because I like the person and that we both should take our time. I know what I want and I know what I need to do. I need to make a life for myself. I need to get on the fast job track, I need to eventually move into my place for a bit and I need to financially stabilize myself. I know what I want... I want to get a dog, I want to get over my break up completely and I want to find a relationship with someone genuine, kind, smart, energetic, a sexual match and emotionally available.

It will all take time. So I will talk, show I am a great guy by being myself. It would be nice to have something good. There is much to be done. Til next time chulos.
