Too Black Too Fast

I received a milestone of a phone call today. The director of some movies, a Yale Graduate and soon to be very popular in the local horse scene, Donnie Betts, called me in regard to an eMail I sent to him. Seems he is interested in what I have to offer his latest project- Horse wrangling, provide riders, some location scenery, costumes, and, most exciting for my son, to develop a game! Hope this all comes together. Proceeds go to a retirement program for jockeys, similar to retired athlete accommodations.
A seperate blog will be created to journal my experiences.

addtional work

Possibles:
Rivada Networks- VoIP installs in the Springs. Maybe.
Pomerly- Desktop refreshes for Kaiser. More probable. Swing shift.


Back to Molson Coors! 2 days. GUess they found the hand truck ROFL

Red Rocks Data Center

Just a quick link regarding the Red Rocks Data Center.
It's an old satellite uplink place, once home for The Federation of Rocky Mountain States

Coors interim comments

Working at Coors was very good. Saw a lot of the plant but was lugging 150-pound UPS chassis. Four pallets of these things. Myself and my co-worker were worn out near the end. Lost a hand truck in the BOC (brewery operations complex). Free beer limit 3. Really good from the source.

Looking forward to a possible VoIP assignment here; the bid is being considered. Molson-Coors-Miller buyout may justify this bid.

Molson-Coors

Found out I will install Cisco and UPS' at the Moulson-Coors facilities. GREAT news. It's like being employed at a huge AT&T or something. It's local, it's got major history in Golden, I know people who work there, I know someone in personnel (!!!!) and I may be able to see close to the ENTIRE plant. I start Wednesday. I went through seven online safety awareness classes, ACED each one. The early eMail banter has been great between my contacts at the pland and me.

I am truly looking forward to this.

Last words on Douglasville

Liar.
I'll make this brief. I performed a training late in the day, specifically so that if any resolution came up to outstanding issues I would be available. Started the training at 3:00. I left the Douglasville site, after shaking hands with John-Nathan, and Lisa, near 4:00. She was the last one to see me, she signed my work order. Walked out the door saying good-bye to every face I saw.

Drove to get gas, return the rental, ride the rental bus, check bags, travel through security, travel on the concourse train, all at the sprawling Atlanta airport, and arrived at the gate in time for boarding. 6:30.

Get back, send my stuff in. Tuesday comes, Regina is told I left at 2:00 p.m. !!!!!!!! Liars.

Now Regina thinks I'm a liar, won't tell me what the closure was on this issue, Von's detectably ticked off, won't tell me anything but "there won't be trainings for a while". Sure. No trainings for ME for a while. Jerks.

Training

Douglasville, GA.
Seems like an innocent enough city. Another suburb, it's cookie-cutter houses trampling onto horse property. West of Atlanta, near Six Flags.
Training didn't happen on the scheduled day. Does it ever? Phones were all in place, operational, tapped. The usual issues. Site survey didn't happen on the scheduled day.
Good news, I'll be paid for site survey, scheduled training day, actual training day, and 1st day of business support. Four full paid days. Finally, looks pleasant.
Per diems are ok, I just cannot eat that much! I go to CVS or Rite-aid and get some snacks. And medicines, we'll see how long I can keep that up. I did try Outback for the first time, nice enough, but I didn't expect it to be another Chilis or Ruby Tuesday, with all the crazy crap on the walls. You know, Unkie Moe's.
