New Home

So Ostentatious Sophism shall be relocating to a new home at http://www.blog.davemacias.com as of Friday June 15th, 2007. The blog will become an interweaving part of a complete website design that I am doing and have almost completed. This means that the blog will no longer be hosted on blogger.com. I will be better able to update this way, and it allows me to take full use of my new mac! That is all . . .

New Blog

I have decided that my views on how to make my life better do not belong on this blog. The way that I want to express them would not mix well with the cynicism that I portray here. Thus, I have created a sister blog to this one; Blind Wanderings. Check it out!

The bed I have made

So I submitted my blog to two of the webs most infamous blog review sites; Ask And Ye Shall Receive and I Talk 2 Much. These two sites review blogs and give very blunt (albeit sometimes harsh) opinions on everything from your blogs layout to content to frequency of posting. I will not spoil the surprise of reading for yourself, but one was so-so about this blog, and the other downright hated it! I am going to "keep-on keepin' on" as one of the reviews put it, and hope that either my writing improves, or they have a few to drink before my next review. I have also decided that I just plain enjoy blogging (that is the whole Ostentatious thing) so I will now do it more often. Also, be on the lookout for a new blog!

The Man

I have been very tired recently. If you did not know I have gotten a new job as a "The Man" (as Fuzzy puts it) at the front desk at one of the largest Resort/Casinos in Reno. I am a Supervisor/Manager in training at the desk and it has exausted me. The job requires constant attention and it requires me to be there one half hour to fourty-five minutes after my shift every day . . . and that is if we are slow! I do not paint this sob story so you all will feel sorry for me, but I do it to show how much of a freak I am. I did a short 5hr shift at my other job (as a reservations specialist at another large property here in town) and I wanted to kill myself. It was so boring!!! I just sat there and took calls. There was no decision making; there was no guest complaints; there was no budgeting time. It was like being on Quaaludes. I have decided that this is how I exibit S&M qualities. I like the pain and frustration that come with being "The Man." I will be posting pictures of my work place soon so you can get an idea of how large it is. And these pictures will be before our $300,000,000.000 expansion. Check it out!
