woweee long time no seeeeeee...anyway just an update, i'm still alive and kicking. Latest update is that i tried applying for a job and didnt even get an interview, no big deal right when you hear at first. Ok so here is the kicker, the person who got the interview over me was a person who works with me and was egged on by me to apply as well just thought that she didn't have anything to lose and all you know. So here is where the story gets interesting, i didnt get the interview but she did...comparing our resumes next to each other it clearly shows that i am wayy more qualified and experienced. So it may seem that i am tooting my own horn and stuff but you have to believe me in this. What is this job basically? well the position requires the person to write abuse reports for the Network engineering department, so the job requires you to monitor campus wide network traffic etc etc. So my question is why did they give this job to a person who is not even experienced enuf to take it?? Truly dissapointed that i didnt get an interview, if they didnt want to hire me its ok but they should have at least given me an interview

Oh well enuf of ranting, so that was the the thing that happened the past few weeks of my life, i got a book from my dearie :) The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick. Thanks Dear!! actually reading it now..its really interesting to see how easy people can be manipulated raeding that book. I wonder are humans just stupid? hmmm oh well...anyways i think this is just another update till i actually try to update agian the next time. Just putting something down here to let u guys know that i am alive and kicking
