First of all I want to say that I was not really getting the whole selling merchant account thing so that stopped in August. I am currently enrolled at Kaplan working on my Microsoft Certification in Database Development (MCITP: Database Developer SQL Server 2008). This requires me to take two test the first one will actually make me certified with an MCTS Certification. The first level should be enough to help me get a job developing database or being a database administrator. I have been doing a little research database either developer or administrator make pretty good money and are in high demand. I am looking at ways to return to school to actually get an Information Technology Degree or a Database Engineering Degree.

Being unemployed was great in the beginning but now its just boring and I am getting tried of looking for a job. I have signed up with a few sites to try to find freelance work doing customer service, technical support, or even some database developing with Access. I want everyone to know if you hate your job stick with it and try to find a way to get a new job or advance in your career while your still have a job. I also now realize how important an education can be to get a great job. Not working has bad side effects like making me lazier then normal and no wanting to do anything since I really do not have the money to do things.

I have been looking into my family gemology but this is a new hobby and the most I have done with it is contain Sises through Facebook. My dad has a friend that lives down the road from us that I got a little information from on where I need to look to help me out looking into my family history. I have meet some of the Sises from the northeast and from North Carolina.

So my new hobby and my new quest to get Microsoft Certified might make things a little better for me. I write this a million times but maybe I need to write more to blog because sometimes I feel I have a lot to say to the world. I can tell my life is getting boring is that I stayed up late to watch both the coverage of the miners being rescued from Chile and the election results this past Tuesday.

I think I am not geek enough to use the WordPress app on my iPhone. Actually I was just having a problem with it because something was not setup correctly. I fixed it so now I can retain my geek title. I am writing a lot because I am sitting on one of the stools they have on both sides of the I guess it’s the club thing. The first band was Skytown Riot they were ok. Next band up is Abused Romance and Nick is already giving a thumbs down. Abused Romance needs a lot of work. They tried to work the coward up but that was really did not work out. This band performance is the performance that never ends. Another band and then Nonpoint. I can tell these opening bands are really boring if I am already working on my blog entry. The next band is up is Egypt Central there video on You Tube was pretty cool so maybe give a little life to the small coward that should get bigger when Nonpoint starts. It is a weekday and some people have jobs that require them to get up early. Egypt Central is a little better then the first two. Were in the last break waiting on Nonpoint.

That was a great performance by Nonpoint. I enjoyed it like always and it was nice seeing my friend from Georgia. I also meet some people that came to see the concert from Cherokee, NC. I will eventually go through the pics and video i took and post them here but do not hold your breath that it will be soon. I might be going to see another concert next week. Later today I might try to get an entry in about how life is going as I start my 33rd year of my life.

 All right so I guess rumors do not flow around my prior employer as much as I thought. So in the middle of Feb I and Elavon decided to end our relationship. Wow that is a weird way of putting what happen but hey it’s my blog and I like it. I started looking for another job but things are really slow in the job market I can say this now from experience.

 I just recently started my new job at another credit card processor as an Account Executive that is just the professional way of saying a sales rep. This is a big change of pace for me I job where I am out on my own because my manager is in Florida and I work for home and not stuck on the phone fixing people’s problems, which I did not mind doing, but it can get old after it has been the majority of my job in my adult lifetime. My website hosting company is still in my life but business is slow and I just recently tried some advertising that did not help me out.

Things are going well for me. I miss working at Elavon but I guess now it’s time for me to get in the mindset of my new job and actually I have already signed up my first merchant. I mention on face book that I was going to put in my New Year’s resolution it might be April but I have really in some way been working on them.

One thing I wanted a major change in my life and that happen a little quicker then I wanted it too. Devoting my time and effort to Sitesforu.com (started that by redesigning the site).  I will try to spend more time with friends and family (working on that). Also trying to write more to my blog and start a podcast.
