Just wanted to say hello to everyone, as "Freddy
Bob" is back, more musical than ever. My last update
was just over 2 years ago. Many problems, and many issues
later, I still love this site. Thank you Love Thy Job
for never giving up hope on me.
Where to begin...? Well, I no longer live in Rhode
Island, or even Connecticut, I love them, but I am
HOME!!! Florida, right smack dab in the middle of
Orlando music. Funny note is all the time I’ve
been down here, I haven’t seen one orange tree.
Yes, I moved to FL at
the very end of December to start a new more exciting
life. Started working for Guitar Center in drums on
Jan. 22nd. 3 months in they made me Drum Department
Manager, selling drums is great. One of my favorite
things about selling drums for GC is that they only
hire musicians. The reason... who knows the instruments
better? I've been a top salesman every month since the
promotion, and making plenty of money too.
So I might as well say it... if every there is anyone
that needs anything musical, please let me know, I
can give you MY discounted price. And I mean anything,
guitar & bass (acoustic/electric), anything professional
audio, keyboards, mixers, turn tables, you name it,
I can get it for you. Ohhh and of course, anything
drums.
Now that the salesman
is done talking, lol. I'm single, and looking. But the
right girl will come along.Been also bandless since
I’ve been down here. A few times I’ve had
bands come up to me, but they we really immature bands,
that just wanted to jam, and always when I had to work.
So ya, in a nut shell,
FL is great. Work is great. I am great. And I’m
exactly where I’ve always dreamed I could be in
life. So until I type more again, which will be soon.
I’m sorry for being such a ghost. But not anymore!
Love ya all!

Well, my job at Citizens is going excellent, I just
got paid for past two days, and had to do zero work.
And I'm being moved into a new position, and getting
paid the same amount for the same hours. i'll was a
'Operations Clerk', now I'll be a Follow-up Clerk'.
I moved most of my belongings
into a self storage unit for $49.95 a month. I still
find it interesting that you HAD to buy one of THEIR
locks to lock the door, you couldn't buy a different
brand, or bring your own. That cost me an extra $10
even. But i'm going to ask special permission of the
owned if i can play my drums in the storage area, and
if so... then pay the extra $25 a month, and go for
one twice the length. That'll be good, cause then i
can practice, and only pay a small amount more.
Peace,

Well, this is my 2nd week into the new job at citizen's
bank operations headquarters, and it's great so far.
I work in the adjustments department. Pretty much, if
your check disappears for any reason after you wrote
it out and gave it to them, I find a picture of it,
and show the bank. That's called a missing item (MI).
That's the easiest one, lol. Then there's others like
paid twice (PT), in other words the check posted twice,
like if you wrote 2 checks, but it was only 1, easy
still. But there's encoding errors (EE) and photo in
lieu (PL) those are extremely major pains in the arse.
The best part of all of it is, I get my own cubical
it's awesome. This is the funny part, we are adjusting
errors and problems in my department. But citizen's
bank didn't have enough employees so they kind of fell
behind, by about 1 year. So my department of 20 or so
people is playing catch-up for their mistake. So yeah
that's work... what can I say. I've made some friends,
lots of friends there. There's Carrie, wale (pronounced
Wally), Jonelle, Johnathan, there's Brian (funnies guy
there), and Fernando. Then there's Brigida, such a story
behind her, but she would like it too much if I talked
about her here, I won't let her have that happiness,
not after what she said the other day. I know guys,
I'm talking about her again, lol, and ok maybe once
more in a few, but no more now, promise. The 'other'
adjustments department I am in has taken over the night
processing department, and seeing as we end at 5 and
they start at 5 there's no real problem. And going back
to my cubical, no night processing people use my cubical,
lol.

7/15/03 - I'm
finally going to start working at Citizen's Bank tomorrow
morning, I'm excited. And at the same time I'm a little
nervous, you know, new job, start of a new life. I only
hope I can get paid soon enough to make rent. Don't
feeling like living out on the street. Other than that,
nothing new, maybe I'll update my diaryland... if your
lucky. PEACE!

6/25/03 - Well,
what can I say about today other than I am starting
all over almost from scratch. I have moved in with my
loving older brother, and his very caring fiancé.
They opened their arms and home to me, as I have accepted
the offer. Soon to get my sleeping arrangements, as
well as acquire two jobs.
Rent is a must, in addition
to the food cost, but I am willing to chip in to the
fairest amount. No prices have been set, but this allows
me the chance I have to help my brother, have him help
me, and help myself.
So now living in Providence,
I am not able to continue working at The Olympic Pizza
Restaurant. But if ever I am in the area again, I am
welcomed back with loving arms.
Everything seems to be
all good again, and everyone is seeming to win and be
happy.

5/18/03 - Just
finished my last day of college classes for the semester
Friday. So now it's on to finding a 2nd summer job.
And also need to start finding time to go visit my brother
and his fiancé. I know I haven't updated this,
but that's because I've been busy with school, and honestly
just plain lazy, hehe. But I will try to keep you all
up to date as I go. My p.o.s. car is going to be junked
soon, and I'm going to get my brother over here soon,
so we can go car shopping, but that'll have to wait
for later. There should be a 'wish list' thing here
for things we artist wish we had, but are too lazy to
go out and get ourselves. Cause I know I'm looking for
band mates, and a girlfriend, but we'll just have to
wait and see what happens first, lol.
BYE!
