I'm back!

Hi everybody!
It's been a while but I decided to pick up blogging again. Since my last post, I've actually switched jobs 3 more times and now I feel very settled in a job that I like and allows me the time to blog! I've also fully quit World of Warcraft, and am looking forward to Guild Wars 2. Life in general is a lot better now, and relaxing so that I can enjoy the finer things in life. I'll post about how my whole view on life has changed since I got this job, but more on that tomorrow!
It feels good to be back!

Basic explanation of my job

So my basic job is that I work for this company called Schick. Not the razor brand. They manufacture these dental x-ray scanners. Now, instead of having that huge thing scan your entire head while you're positioning your head in an awkward position, you can just put a thing in your mouth and it takes an x-ray.
I'm mostly testing these things and making sure they work. I use more mental power playing 2-3 games of Starcraft than I do the entire day at work. It's a temp position for now, they'll re-evaluate me at the end of this month. Most likely they'll keep me. Just because it's me and I show that I can do this job with ease.
The pay isn't too good, the way you make money is they're really liberal with their overtime. They have other benefits too, such as health care, they have a gym, and... EDUCATIONAL REIMBURSEMENT. If I get full time, I'll most likely go back to school. Esp since that the company pays for half my parking spot here and it's across the street from a community college.

Fireman Update: Filed for Test

So I filed for the Fireman test the other day. Online filing was $25, test being a long time from now. Now my question is... WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO STUDY?! I tried to Google it, and they said that there are many fireman tests, and I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to be studying for. Oh well, maybe I'll just study for all of them, since I have a lot of time on my hands.

Fire Fighter?

I went to the Hong Kong Dragon Boat festival yesterday. Pretty interesting event. There was a booth there for the Fire Department of New York, and I went up and talked to them. I always wanted to be a fire fighter when I was younger. They said that there's actually no height requirement (I'm 5'1) and that they recruit once every 4 years so nows my chance. I think I'm gonna try it out. What do you guys thing?
