Seriously, THE funniest videos ever made. I've never, in my entire life, laughed so hard. I was seriously tearing up half way through the 2nd episode.

Episode 1: Child Beater



Episode 2: Child Beater



Now I see why people have children.

I think I'm due to post something, but since no one visits this blog anymore, I guess it really doesn't matter. So don't be surprised if jaju.blogspot.com becomes online tech-notes for myself.

Anyway. Right now I am lying in a hotel room in Boise, Idaho. I just got done eating some awesome Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and finished watching Little Miss Sunshine. I've been here since sunday night and I'm leaving tomorrow for the Utah. I got a long-term temp job with Xerox. Sort of a testing period for both Xerox, if I do a good job for them, and for me, if I like Xerox enough to stay with them. So I've been sent to Boise for training. Everyday has been filled with watching training videos and taking tests. It wouldn't be so bad if that wasn't ALL I was doing. But it is.

I've been training with another guy from Montana, an older gentleman, who was pretty much doing the same stuff I will be doing, but for a competitor. Anyway, the training and tests have all been very much electrical engineering stuff. One day was full of just looking at schematics, identifying symbols, going over various basic principles of physics, and covering a BUNCH of safety regulations. Other days, we've been covering how to read company documentations and softwares, the xerographic process, other safety policies, and more electronics stuff. It's all been very taxing.

Next week, I'll have to drive to the SLC offices everyday for even more training. Tearing apart various machines and putting them back together, working with Xerox software, and other such activities. Every since I was a kid, I've always been taking apart stuff, and through collage, I've been learning how to put stuff back together. It looks to be right up my alley.

So for now, I've been hanging out with the Xerox guys (and lady) for the week. Most of these guys are older EE grads or techs that have been doing this for years. I've been the only younger I.T. kid in the bunch. And when I get back to Provoland, I'll still be the only I.T. kid amidst EEs. Kinda intimidating.

Back to Boise...We've been eating as some really cool places for lunch. I've been hotel livin for a week. And, I've been spending time in the hotel gym. (I really need to get back in the gym on a regular basis.)

As far as non-work stuff goes, my brother and I bought an Xbox 360, getting ready for Halo 3. I'm pumped for the final installment of the Resident Evil movies. Woman's World Cup is underway. I've got some lunch money saved for the Sept. 18th release of Motion City Soundtracks new album. And, I got my tix for the Dec. 8 MCS concert in SLC. Life's been good.
