    Good evening everyone! I hope everyone had a great Tuesday! I can't wait for this weekend, I'll be in Chicago since I'm going to see the Sonic Symphony! So I won't be online much this weekend, just FYI.

  • Today was my first day at my new job

    Quote from calamity

    Nice - what you doing there? Out front or in the back office somewhere?

    I'm in lockbox, I don't directly interact with customers which is nice! I scan checks into a machine called a Falcon, it's actually kind of fun too! The facility I work at doesn't have tillers, it's strictly operations. Though since it is a bank, there's super high security and I have to make sure I put my phone in my locker except when I'm on break.

  • Today was my first day at my new job

    Today was the first day at my new job at U.S. Bank! I unfortunately wasn't told what time I should come in, so I ended up coming in at 4 instead of 7... So I at least got to leave early, the rest of the week and next week I'm on the same schedule 7 to 3:30 then I start my regular schedule which is 4-12:30. It went fine other than that though, I'm very happy to be out of a factory and in a office setting!

  • Anyone loves Jewelry?

    Quote from extra cookie

    My wife loves jewelry. As for me, I hate all jewelry.


    I worked in a warehouse, so that's when I stopped wearing a wedding ring. Look up degloving, and you'll unlock a new fear. Even after warehouse work, I just can't wear it.


    I also hate necklaces because I hate things around my neck.

    I used to work in a warehouse, and yep I've heard stories of degloving and seen pictures online. That's why they told us not to wear jewelry especially a necklace. I'm used to wearing my wedding band, so I even wore it when I worked in a factory. We had to wear gloves since we were running machines that welded shelves together.

  • Today was my last day at my job

    Today was a bittersweet day. It was the last day at my current job, I left three hours early today too. I said goodbye to a huge group of amazing people, and they were all sad to see me go. They sent me off with some Sonic merchandise as well as a few homemade things too and some sweets that were homemade. I am off the next five days and the next chapter of my journey starts on Monday bright and early at 4 in the morning! I'm excited and nervous but I feel that this was the right thing to do.

  • Ravenfreak's Domain

    I got around to making a website where I'm going to share all the projects I've worked on or are currently working on. I went with Joomla as my software of choice since I've been using it for Bluehedgehog and I like it better than Wordpress. I was going to make a static website, but I just prefer to use a CMS since it's easier to get things set up and easy to write articles. I will not be posting personal information on this site, because I will be sharing that information here on Thee Zone in my blog area. Think of this website as my portfolio of projects I've worked on and or working on. I call it Ravenfreak's domain but the domain name is simply just my username and the tld .com. Right now I only have a intro article and a article promoting this website. Once I get more time I will be adding more of my projects and I might even talk about my old projects too! Come check it out!

  • SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS

    I'm pre ordering this on Friday, I wish I could afford the collector's edition from Limited Run Games. ;( I'd love to own it but man it's expensive! Shadow is my second favorite character so I'm excited to play as him in this remaster, plus we're getting some content based around the third film in December too!

  • What’s the weather like today?

    It was quite humid today, got up to about 79 degrees but it felt much hotter due to the humidity. It's supposed to be much cooler this week, in the lower 70's but we're going to get some storms so it might be humid.

  • Did My Fingerprint Scan Today

    Welp I got my fingerprint scan done today for my new job! It'll probably take about a week or so for U.S. Bank to get the results. I don't have a record, so I should be fine to start working on October 7th. I also had to take a picture to send to my HR manager so she can create a badge so I can enter and leave the building since it's a bank it's highly secured. I only have one more full week working at my current job, crazy to think that this is my second to last three day weekend. Next weekend will be my last three day weekend, because I'll only be working 8 hours instead of 10 so I'll be working five days a week again and I'll be off five days prior to my start date at my new job. Now the only thing I have to worry about is getting my insurance to approve my refill for my testosterone... :S

  • Been actively applying for a new job

    And the job hunt concludes! I got the job at U.S. Bank and my first day there will be October 7th! I put my two weeks in at my current job, everyone was pretty much shocked that I did so. They didn't believe me, but I told them I was serious. My last day at my current job is October 1st. I'm going to see where this job can lead me, I've been thinking about going to school for cyber security and if there's any facility that needs extra security it's a bank of course!

  • Been actively applying for a new job

    Good news everyone! I will be going to the facility on Friday for an in person interview! My next interview is at 3:30 PM, I'm excited as well as a bit nervous too. Tomorrow I plan on leaving work early so I can pickup some nice clothes, then shave and make sure I have everything ready for the next day. I'm going to read over the email they sent me so I know what to expect. I also need to update my resume since I didn't add how many KPH I can accomplish and since this is a very high level data entry position and it's very fast paced, I will need to include that information so they know I can type fast and get things done as soon as possible!
