12:08 am - Return of a Hero?
As you may or may not know I applied and had an interview with Nebraska-Omaha who is dropping their grad assistant position in the Sports Information office for a full-time post grad intern. Well that was two weeks ago Friday, and actually was told that at the end of last week I was going to find out about the position and what decision was made. But UNO hired a new hockey coach so I'm thinking thats why I didn't hear back. Hopefully I hear back this week and its the outcome I want, not because I want to return to Omaha but it seems like a great opportunity and is familar even with major changes since I was last at UNO. I've also applied other places (Creighton, Kansas, Iowa just the other midwest but other parts of the country also) so we'll see. Hopefully I get an answer because I'll honestly leave later this week just to make the CWS not kidding. Also I'm tired of certain people here at Florida Tech so leaving before my contract ends isn't a big deal to me. Hope for the best and we'll see what happens.

10:13 pm - Ahoy hoy LJ:
I realized that I've not made my first Live Journal post from my new laptop so I thought it should be done. On Bob's recommendation I went with his suggestion and I'm really happy with it. Now to pay the bill on it so the credit card jerks don't come and take it from me.
- Work has slowed down mainly because the tennis and crew seasons have done the same plus once the hell of 11 matches in 14 days ended I got in the clear.
- In the process of applying for a new job since things have turned quiet of if I'll be coming back here. But I don't forsee that happening I just don't think I could stand working with my current boss one more year.
- Co-worker situation is better but I still haven't told her how I feel even though I've been told I shouldn't but thats not here nor there by a third party. I just don't won't the regret of holding it in regardless of what happens.
- Quote of the day "Epitimy of Giving" my friends girlfriend told me today really made my day.
- Tennis media guide is done minus needing a inside cover changed for reasons not to be discussed.
- Did another podcast the other day for the first time in a month and I'm still searching for a closing catch phrase.
- THis was fun catching up with LJ now back to Twitter and Facebook (I prefer Twitter)

12:08 pm - Hangovers and Heartache:
- Had dinner and drinks paid for by our assistance AD last night who happened to be where I was drinking at.
- Unexpectively ran into my co-worker Jenn who has a friend of hers in town (dude friend).
- This led to me responding to a text saying im going to meet a her, another friend and Jenn's Ex-BF to a couple people. That I got a text from Jenn asking me to stop sending random text to people.
- So that sobered me up and led to me coming home (after finding out who could have responded to Jenn) and drinking in the dark and getting a horrible nights sleep because the brain never stopped thinking.
- This issue has to be addressed and after stepping back I don't see anything rediculus that I texted anyone plus she knew the guys who I texted. Should I have? Well it wasnt a lie she was out with the people she was so the truth was that.
- Probably an overreaction on my part I'll apologize only after I make sure that my side is heard and put on the table.
- I'm starting to think I'm really no good at this.

10:23 pm - Yar Yar Yar:
Today was a day off for me so I went to Viera, Fla (about 15 away not far at all) for spring training between the Washington Nationals v Baltimore Orioles at the Nationals home Space Coast Stadium. O's won 7-5 in a windy day at in Viera the sun actually got aplause when it came out on a overcast day. Money well spent today on my day off. Last night after hanging out for awhile I went and bought $40 in booze. Tonight Jenn came over to watch the Amazing Race like planned but unlike what I had planned I didn't get to tell her what I feel towards her which I had all day to think about. Suck suck.

11:09 pm - I must save the economy:
I'm pretty much someone who does the twitter any more but I'm still loyal to LJ for those who still use it. So even if its JM reading this I'm alright with that. Spent money to travel to Orlando on Tuesday night for the Suns-Magic. I'm probably going to have to buy a new lap top but not before buying a external hard drive (I don't pretend to know what this means) so I can save my files. So the bills will be racking up not to factor in when I could out I usually spend a pretty penny. Tonight I didnt go out but I still threw down $40 on alcohol for a onion of reasons (onions have layers so its a shrek reference). I love a girl who is my coworker who I know has had a guy come over a couple time and not snoop I can fucking hear this guy because he is a loudass dumbass Rhode Islander who is still a student here. But it was semi-crushing when she said good night friend tonight to me. I plan on telling her how I feel tomorrow night no matter the cost of the friendship because I've lost sleep, drank because of her (which again is kinda what is going on tonight) etc etc I'm stupid for her. My boss I'm uber done with her which will result in me speaking my mind to her which she will not like to hear. I see things clearer then her in addition to me being open minded, nice, friendly, optimistic, laid back instead of close-minded, a bitch, micro manager whore. The turning point in the office relationship could be with me planting the seed of traveling with women's basketball on weds something that has been forbidden due to the fact she ripped it away from me. So who do I ask I tell the women's basketball coach to request me to travel with him which seems like it could happen until the bitch gets wind of it.

09:23 pm - Two Weeks After the Last Post:
1) Alright things have cooled down here in Melbourne in the Athletic Communications office.
2) Still hate my boss alot and she will cower to me which is a joke seeing that I'm not intimidating a figure. I don't really like hate but that is what it is and as you know if I'm throwing that around it means something.
3) I've pretty much have given up the cause of getting WBB back but I'm helping Jenn on a game to game bases because I still see the point in helping her.
4) Drank an entire 1 liter boot of Warsteiner Oktoberfest and I got to keep the boot since it was $20 with a $7 refill amount. Friday night spun out of control that I didn't drive home actually which I think is a first.
5) Slowly adjusting to my new stupid role for the rest of winter since I don't have WBB but I was at least productive doing so today.
6) Erin Burks sent me a lovely WWE care package today which I will return the favor of sending the WBB Media Guide that I did the work on but had the credit taken away from me.
7) I'm going to finish my picking the brains of those in charge down here to get a final explanation to why things changed even with a good idea.
8) I've been spending a good amount of money lately and for some reason the economy isn't getting better. Why is this?
9) While drinking alot I told my friend and coworker plus his girlfriend that I'm fucking crazy for my coworker Jenn. This has been evolving over the month of leaving and coming back to work. I just need to sit her down and put it all on the table because I have deep deep feeling for her which came by surprise and I've never felt this way for another.
- P.S.: I've had alcohol in some way shape or form during the last ten days so you figure it out.-

08:22 pm - The Good, The Bad and The Extremly Pissed Off!
Hello again friends and since this is highly on my mind I feel that I will break my silence due to my recent physical conditions. First though I want to cover the good things that have happened since I last checked in with LJ and the good times back in Omaha.
- Saw friends and Family (not all I know but alot)
- Went to the Chiefs-Dolphins in Kansas City
- Sake Bombs at Kona
- Three Happy
- Hu Hot
- $400 plance voucher from Delta
- The great relationship with the Florida Tech WBB team and coach
- Safe travels for the most part coming back to and from Nebraska
- Getting some winter when home and using my winter clothes
- Wearing shorts on New Years Eve and going to Downtown Disney
- Going to the Gator Bowl
- Going to the Gator Bowl w/ my dad which was his first Nebraska bowl game
- Blowing my last two paychecks the first while in Nebraska enjoying myself and the last buying myself a 32' Sony HDTV
- Seeing my friends here in Florida when I returned
- The friendship of my co worker Jenn
- Post game beers with FIT WBB coach
- Not sure about how the New Year will turn out but I feel it can only improve
- My dad having a safe trip home to Nebraska
Alright here are the low lights from the same period
- Having my boss drop a "major" bomb on me before heading home for the holidays
- Traveling back to Melbourne via Delta
- Step one overbooked flight, Step two randomly selected to be pulled off the flight, Step three new flight to Des Moines w/ taxi ride, Step four wait in Des Moines for four hours, Step five bumpy flight leaving Memphis, Step six taxi from Orlando to Melbourne, Step seven arrive in Melbourne at 1am hour before having to travel to Orlando for WBB
- Back to the bomb which I mentioned, so I have been reassigned/demoted from being the Florida Tech Women's Basketball contact
- I now will spend the semester doing phase two of the floridatechsports.com website which seems like will be just organizing pictures and improving the site
- However there hasn't been an explanation to why this was done when the hoops season is halfway done, I just completed the WBB media guide, spent timeless hours working with WBB
- I'm going to get that explanation DAMMIT!
- However my boss is the mother of all cowards who I can't even refer to by her first name anymore
- You want weird here it is my friends over the last two days I found out that the media guide was switched where credit isn't given to me
- My boss having conversations with Jenn with me in the middle of the office as if I'm not there
- Its like being a ghost who isn't dead (kinda like in Scrubs ha)
- I don't like having the feeling of having my heart ripped out, not eating because I'm becoming depressed, losing sleep because I'm depressed
- I may not be depressed but the how the change over of sports has been handled is honestly killing me especially when the team is 11-1 and I feel I can't watch them because it hurt too much
- This sucks and seriously not happy right now and may not be even with a proper explanation

10:28 pm - The Ink has Dried I think:
So its December 6 which means I'm ten days away from being home in frigid Nebraska. And yes see most of your smiling faces which I vary much look forward to. Until then I'm still down here in Melbourne, Florida.
- I've got it set in my mind that I want to get tattoos on each calf w/ each one an idea I've had for some time now.
- Right calf will be the Loper head because its more than a logo for me. I spent a decent amount of time in Kearney the last five years, and its got a solid look to it. In addition it is a conversation starter with a story behind it for me which I feel is important for something you put on your body for the rest of your days. Why the right calf? That's the way the Loper head should be the back of the head going left to right.
- Left calf is the Great State of Nebraska outlined. Being away from Nebraska from September makes me appreciate the place I spent the first 25 years and three months of my life before coming to Florida. Also I've thought long and hard about those of us who are from Nebraska and look at it like that for those who have moved away. Nebraska is a state of 1.5 million people. You know how many people there are in the world and to say yeah I'm from a place of only a million is pretty cool if you ask me. Like the other idea the outline of the State of Nebraska should be like shown on the map going West to East.
- These are what I am willing to put on my body.
- So not vent but one more cowardly text message or email from my boss will result in my asking for a one on one meeting with her with the list of complaints I have towards her.
- I've spent alot of time at the office the last week which is expected however at the same time only having Thanksgiving off the last 14 days before tomorrow has worn my out a bit.
- I don't mean to gloat but I will be golfing tomorrow for the fourth time since I have moved down here since I will not be going into work and its suppose to be 80 degrees I believe.
- Yes, the Suns are pissing me off and I'm glad I can watch the Magic who aren't pissing me off.
- My dad bought Gator Bowl tickets so four days after returning to Florida I will be going to my second Nebraska New Years Day Bowl game. It will also be the third overall for myself. 2005 Alamo Bowl against Michigan, 2007 Cotton Bowl against Auburn, 2009 Gator Bowl with Clemson the opponent. I'm excited to go to a bowl game I've never been to and a city I've also never been to and it will be my dad's first bowl game.
- Can't wait for these next ten days pass so we can all hang out and chill in the Big O!

11:46 pm - Ink Spot on the Brain:
So I woke up yesterday morning thinking it be sweet to have the Nebraska football patch on my body permanently. And so started me thinking about getting tattoos all weekend. I know many of you seem to have them and its something that I truly go back and forth on. My sister got one last year and it seems like a handful of my co-workers here at FIT also have some ink. Thoughts on what I was thinking today and yesterday.
- Outline of the State of Nebraska because I do miss the homeland
- State Seal of the Great State of Nebraska
- Nebraska Football A Tradition of Excellence
- The Loper head
- Best Before 6-8-83 (you know like you'd see on milk or something it be hilarious)
- Weaving a design with departed relatives like my mom's dad and dad's mom with room for others as they pass away
- A star for some reason has always appealed to me don't know why
- Block V
- Will not rule out outlining the Royals crown, Chiefs arrowhead, shark, or a Sun but I feel its bad luck to ink your teams. However if these team(s) win a title I may change my mind.
Yeah its odd that this thought came up in my head and I really don't know why but its been in my head all weekend.

09:49 pm - Wearing Down:
- Today I just didn't get enough done as I wanted to which sucks because I have alot to do this week.
- Friday deadline to get my WBB Media Guide complete, game notes finish.
- I was asked by out Chinese coach if I could drive a bus to Rollins College on Weds. (Rollins is an hour away). He is trying to cut back on expenses don't ask long story.
- Talked with a volleyball player for an hour and a half plus about the season. Mutiny is coming I think win or lose the last game on Weds.
- Veterans Day is tomorrow and I get the day off but I still plan on going to the office for a couple hours because I need to things to a decent place by Weds I feel. I'm going to play golf with some co-workers tomorrow the second half of the day I'm excited to use my new clubs of two months for the first time, plus it will be relaxing even if I haven't golfed in three years.
- I've worked alot recently it seems even with having last Monday off but I keep telling myself that its all worth it in the long run.
- Tennis coach bought my lunch today, I love lunch meetings!
- Once I get a chance hopefully sooner then later I'll get to a game in Orlando because I could use that.

10:50 pm - Hello Again LJ, Its November!
- I had today off from work and it was for good reason since I had three volleyball games, one basketball game.
- Sucktober ended and I'm still alive which is a good thing.
- My releases have improved which is a good thing, which I knew they would once I got back into the flow of writing stories again.
- My goal for this week is to get my WBB media as close to finished as possible.
- Since the last time I posted, I'm not sure if I mentioned that I'm the South Region VB person which I think means I have to make nomination sheets for that when it happens.
- No matter who you vote for make sure that you go and make sure you do your civic duty!
- Highlights of the day off were, doing nothing, getting a hair cut, driving to the beach only to find out beach wendy's was closed due to not having power and having a shrimp polish dog at mustards last resort (the hot dougs of melbourne)
- FIT's volleyball team is closing in on their first VB Regional bid for those who haven't been reading floridatechsports.com

12:00 am - Vamosi Held Hostage:
Let me state that we all know and laugh at what I post here on LJ while noting my grammar isn't what makes me awesome. At the same time when I do my writing for sports I proof the shit out of it. Which leads me to today's one on one meeting with my boss who told me that I have a week to fix as I see it minor problems of ",'s" and other grammar issues. Seriously the rules have been different each and every time almost where if she wanted me to write then submit to her at first I would be fine. I repeat I know enough about Tennis and Volleyball but this is the first time I've wrote releases on those sports so of course I will stumble. But to tell me I have a week to clean up or she will take WBB away from me. Her word not me but she didn't want to be "punitive" but thought this is the only way I'd get better. She isn't a great manager at this stage of being the boss 18 months into her job. Ok enough about that I also voted today.
- I was this close to just flipping a coin when filling out my absentee ballot.
- Seriously I've gone back and forth on who I want fill the oval in for.
- As a form of what I love to say "Prove It" I did what I thought was best today.
- If it was McCain 2000 no doubt of who I vote for but McCain 2008 made me think.
- So let me say that I voted for Barack Obama not because I feel he is the best or any of that jazz but for my two choices (I don't vote for third party candidates unless it was worth it c'mon Bloomsberg you let America down) but between the two I thought it was the best choice.
- However the downfall for me voting democrat this is if Obama doesn't do like he has promised to a certain degree it will hurt there chances for me voting for them in the future. However I'm not here to talk about the future its about today which I felt it was best to vote Obama not that I hate McCain I just cannot vote today for him which maybe changes tomorrow but the envelope has been sealed.
V Away!
At least we get to vote unlike other places in the world right? But our choices were watered down this cycle I think so good night and good luck.
