Vix- Adventures

Welcome Back,

I should warn you, this may be a long blog entry... There was a lot that happened in this last week... So grab a snack/drink and kick back... You might be here awhile

First, I just want to say that I attempted to post Blog entry #33 a few nights ago. There was a severe thunderstorm that came through here and there were many trees that fell and knocked the power out. I came home from work to 8 hours of no power I had a hard time sleeping and heard the power come back @ midnight. I fired up my computer to see if things were working... All was good, and I figured I'd post #33... That took 2 hours to type out and when I was ready to post it, I see an error message about not being able to find the server... So I copy/paste it to the notepad, so I won't lose it...
Not 2 minutes later the power went out again, just for a few minutes... and that reeked havoc on my computer.

Long story short, I was without an internet connection for 2 long nights After Jambon talked me through 101 tests to narrow down what was/wasn't working, he asked me to start up the computer again and press Ctrl/F11 just to see if I had a Partition... Sure enough I did After 20 minutes, I was back up and running... Sure I lost everything, but there was nothing of great importance anyway.

I want to Thank the EF community for all of their tricks and tips. Many Entropians extended a helpful hand and a few went the extra mile to show their support

A Special Thank You to Jambon For having the patience to talk me through a few hours of... on/off... plug in/unplug testing. That was a lesson learned the hard way.

Next up... Last Sunday's Beacon!!
A few hours before we were scheduled to meet, A few of us helped Dumpsey Pooh get to Fort Argus. On our way there the team looted an ESI with a TT value of 19.71!! That was placed in auction and split between the 4 team members.. Not a bad start...

We made out like bandits!! There was plenty of Space Pirate Booty to go around Leo was kind enough to buy a 23ped Beacon, he was and still seems to be on a hot streak and wanted to celebrate with us!
We did so well, we bought a 25ped Beacon to do tomorrow and the 6 of us walked away with 47.00peds each!! I'll be sure to keep you all posted about the outcome of tomorrow's Beacon...

Last but not least... I see where there may be a career change in my near future.... I can't help but feel that I'm stuck in a rut, working at a dead end job, chasing my tail...

I have been seriously contimplating getting out of the Automotive business and finally get into something I'm passionate about!

Perhaps a bit of research about where the local bakeries are, and see if they are hiring. I would love to start up my own little bakery one day, selling Custom Cakes and chocolatey treats Yummy!!! Get to make my own hours, be my own boss and not have to fight for a piddly 37 cent/hour raise.

There are a few things to consider before jumping ship.... I don't want to do anything before getting my ducks in a row... So until then, I will stay put and suck it up.

Thanks for reading/listening!!!
