An Update in the way of Updates...

Well since my last post a LOT has happened! For one I have moved...again. After King/Union Wireless I worked briefly for Diamond Wireless (a Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer). And before you start getting all upity about me working for Verizon let me explain: in Wyoming there are 2, yes for those of my city and large state (and yes even Idaho is included as a "large state" population wise when compared to the aprox 500k people that make up the entirety of Wyoming) there really are only 2, cell phone carriers available. Those being Union Wireless (a GSM based carrier and AT&T roaming partner) and Verizon (still considered a scourge upon the earth). I worked for Union and found them to be a superior choice between the 2, but Verizon offered to more than double my paycheck. The money looked too good to pass up so I went for it. While I enjoyed the team I worked with, I couldn't stand the product no matter how hard I tried. I also had some thinking to do in my personal life (more on that to come later). All of those things happened just as the opportunity to come back to Washington to visit. As I crossed the state line back into Washington it all just felt right. I saw some of my friends from here and visited Pullman and it was over. I came back to Rock Springs (WY), put in my notice at Diamond (to which I was told to "just sign and get out" (side note: still the cheapest Verizon dealer)), said goodbye to family and friends (which are family you choose), packed up my Focus yet again and headed back to Pullman (WA).
[Side Note: For those not following geographically; Rock Springs is in Wyoming (http://tinyurl.com/2fd6wdk), Pullman is in Washington and the home of Washington State University (http://tinyurl.com/26ul6t7)]
Shortly upon returning to Pullman I was hired by Cougar Communications, A Sprint Preferred Ready NOW Retailer. I now sell Sprint and can live with myself. (As opposed to selling Verizon) I've been in Pullman for about 2 months now and have taken on another job concurrent to Sprint.
I am also now the overnight Customer Service Manager (CSM) for the brand new Walmart Super Center in Pullman. At this exact moment working these 2 jobs has afforded me only 19 hours sleep in the past 6 days (for those doing the math that comes out to be awake 125 of the last 144 hours). So needless to say I'm pretty much constantly tired at the moment! I'm just praying things change very very soon! Sprint is reducing my hours for me so that I don't die trying to work both jobs thankfully! 
So in the way of Random Musings from a Random Source: This has been an Update in the way of Updates!

Random Musing number 1

Today is the derby, the demolition derby to be exact... I think today will be fun! Should be anyway! I'm pretty sure I'm a judge or timer but we'll see. McKade and I are also scheeming so we'll see what happens! I'm sure the post post for the derby will be more exciting! For now, this is Rich from Rock Springs, Wyoming saying good night (day for now) and God speed!

A long day at the Union Wireless kiosk

Hey Everybody,

Today is my last day at King Communication/ Union Wireless. Since last days in sales (especially when your next job is with a different carrier across the walkway) tend to be long, tedious, unending, ...insert monotonous monologue of slowness here... I figured I finally start writing on this blog I started 3 years ago!

For those who are new to the wonderfully random world of my twisty-turny psyche, my name is Rich (well depends on when you met me because to you I could be anyone of a few names including Scotty, Richard, Richie, or Scott). Anyway I pretty much call it like I see it. If I want to say something, generally it gets said. I try not to ever hurt people when I tell them something though. Lol I'm kind of like a doctor, "I swear to do no harm"... er something like that.
I don't have any kids of my own to put up cute pictures of or a job that takes me to extreme and remote locations. But friends and fans (I'm between radio stations at the moment) seem to enjoy my little mini-rants and side trips into the unknown world of useless knowledge so I hope you do too!
Whenever you are here please take a half second and enjoy the ads... lol they keep me fed!:) Especially if you like what you see!;)
