Today was a good day. I didn’t think this day would come and for the last month was kind of stressful. About a month or so ago, I was sitting on the couch in good ol’ Nampa at my apartment, and my Mom sent me a text. The text said Read more…
Earlier today, at 5:52 pm, I felt something I had never before felt in my lifetime. Shortly before that, I was working from home (day #11 of working from home). I felt a small vibration and my neighbors had just got home, so I didn’t think anything of it. I Read more…
I find it ironic that I start my new job, exactly 2 months, to the day I got laid off from American Fire Protection. I was offered a job by CBC Mortgage. I came into the office in the morning and met my boss, Todd Peterson. Todd is the controller Read more…
I am super behind on some writings, and thought I would recap a few things. A couple of weeks ago, Jim Danes hired a consultant. Jim introduced Mike Mitchell to us and told us that his purpose was to help make the company more profitable and that some of our Read more…
The Rodeway Inn was an eerie place to be the afternoon of March 24. The motel next to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center sat empty, with the rooms striped bare of furniture, ceiling panels removed and exposing the building’s framework, and wood paneling torn from the walls. No lights were Read more…
Again, we got another call from this same Asian guy. He called this time and said “Hello, I am from Microsoft, and your Windows computer is sending our error messages and is infected with Malware.” He insisted that I go to my computer and connect to a website (which I did not Read more…
Today was the start of a new job. I work at American Fire Protection in Nampa, Idaho, doing the bookkeeping and payroll as well as other office tasks. Originally, I went in for the interview yesterday and was offered the job right away, without really an official interview. I was going to turn it down, because there are no benefits and the pay was not really the greatest. (more…)
A very somber day today. As I pulled in today, even more was gone. The wagon out front of the hotel. The shed in the alleyway was gone. The only purpose in my visit today was for Chris to come and pickup the walk-in freezer which he purchased at the auction.
The auction is over with. I had to go down to the Hotel today from 9am, until who knows how late so that this Industrial Hygiene guy can finish his inspection. In the back of my mind, I really don’t care because I am wanting to be done with this whole Hotel thing.
Another very interesting day today. The live auction happened yesterday, and today is the 2nd and final day for people to pick up their purchases. Today, Dale and I are here until 6pm. In addition to that, Chris Peters, from AMRESCO Commercial Finance wanted us to drain the remainder of the pool today.
I showed up at the Hotel to do one thing before I ran to Tates Rents to get the pump, and there were people in the building. I was trying to figure out how they got into the building. The only thing that I could think of, was that when M&T Security came through the building overnight, that they didn’t make sure it was fully closed. No one was able to get into any of the rooms, but the point is still the same. I got back with the pump, and Dale started to drain the pool the rest of the way. (more…)
