Life and Choices...

We all have decisions in our life to make that will and can affect us dramatically. Should we take a new job, or should we go for a promotion and the such. I am in that position at the moment.

As many know, I was hoping to be picked up by Qimonda for a Sustaining position, the same position I do now, but with better benefits. This did not happen on the first go around of hiring.

I have a chance in September to be picked up again, but with some changes to be made in the meantime. In order for me to become a better tech, I will have to go to Day Shift again, but go to straight days, Monday-Friday and not be on shift anymore. I do not know how I feel about that as I like shift and having days off during the week and a 3-day weekend every other weekend. I would only have a 2 day weekend. Also, I would have a lot more responsibility placed on me and have to learn the system and work on the equipment more that I have had to in the past. This is not a bad thing, but still a consideration.

How have yall dealt with situations like this in your professional work careers? Please feel free to give me some feedback on this issue. I know that in every decision that there are pluses and minuses, I just have to weigh them out.
Thanks...

Swift Creek Reservoir

This is the lowest levels that i have seen since moving here in December 2005. IF we do not get any rain soon, we will be placed on Water Restrictions.







We have lots of Canadian Geese that live here year round. The lake we live on is the water supply for Chesterfield County. It is called Swift Creek Reservoir. We have not had an substantial rain in the past several months.


This coves in the lake is getting shallow and the geese are taking advantage of it. Even though the weather gets hot here, the geese do not seam to mind the heat.

Custom Ring Tones on Verizon.

I am not sure if this will work on every Wireless Network or cell phone, but it works with my LG vx8600 phone. It has a slot for a MicroSD card. I purchased a Lexar MicroSD card but there are many choices. Mine came with an adapter as most card reader will not accept the MicroSD format. I have placed pics, music and the such on it. I bought a 1gig chip for under $30 at Wal Mart. The phone gives you the option to move all saved material from the phone memory to the card. I have chosen to do that.

There is a folder called "My Sounds" on the chip. I placed the custom Ringtones in that folder that i made using Sound Forge and encoding them at anywhere from 40-96kbps depending on the length of the clip. I had to redo a few of them as they were to long. You will have to place them on the MicroSD car via your card reader. So you make them and how to get them onto the phone?

There is no feature that will let you import them. So, you have to make a Pix Message and it gives you an option to attach a sound file with it. All clips have to be smaller than 200kb or they will not work. All you have to do is enter you own cell number as the recipient and and send yourself the message. The ringtone will come to your phone and it will give you the option to listen and also to save as a ring tone.

This is a picture of a MicroSD style card.
