Ok, the people from my temp service called me and I called them back. This is how it went.
"Hello, [service name]"
"Yes. I'm calling back [Personal Dispatcher]"
"She's at lunch. Would you like her voicemail, or can someone else help you"
"Ah... Voicemail, please."
"Well, what's your last name?"
"[Gives last name]"
"What's your social?"
"[SSN# given]"
"Ok, it looks like she called you for---"
Ok, wasn't that 'spose to be over at "Voicemail"? Sometimes I think people really do want to be helpful, but when I dispatcher calls I think it's nessessairy to call THEM back. It's so they can put it on your file that even tho you missed them you called back, and that does mean you're interested in working. I know they actually file it when you do and don't call them back. I just don't want any mix ups. At that, it was a dispatcher with alot of connections to other places outside of that one place they keep tiring to send me. I could talk to her and ask for some other things. The lady that called me is conneted to some hotel work, so there is a slim but noticable chance it was that OR I could've asked her for something.
And then, the lady that picked up is one that "fired" me from a place so I don't think we're on good terms. She might be why I'm not getting a job now, because she's might be set up as my main ref. I was on one of her jobs the longest. I may be over thinking it, but it's logically, as few as I see.
I gotta get out of this temp service stuff. I'm going my ass to CLASS!

Vacant Sky ACT 1 REDUX, BABY!
The Admin of ProjectBc has decided to revise and re-release Act 1 of Vacant Sky. The reasons for these are a simple few: He got tiried of the overal scare in reviews being dragged down by it. These last of Act 3 were taking too long, so he was doing something with his free time. He's over disappointed, i would say. There's a heavy upgrade in play, and what-not between Act 1 and Act 2. Having the playing types fit together would be the best thing. I don't know how long he's been thinking about it, but the Admin posted it on his Twitter July 1st saying he was working on the redo.
For those of us await Act 3, it will be done shortly. There are only a few components left to put in, and will be releashed to the public. It will only be a 20 or some minute fix up, but somethings holding up the parts. The wait is unknown.
I'm also hoping for the revising ,and public releash of Vagant Blood. I side-track in the world of Vacant Sky were Gev and Weapon are assigned on a mission together to reobtain an item. It was created for a game creation contest, but is more than just "flawed" in it's make-up. I don't know what I want to see out of it. More Weapon? More Gev? They're both really flirty, so I'd like to see how they interact with others, and each other outside of Auria's case. I also want to see "The door and the Piano" thing Gev refers to in Act 2 of Vacant Sky, if it's in there. I like the silly, perverted characters. The way they can make me laugh, and disgust me at the same time is so much fun!
None of these things have a set time. I'm hoping Act 3 will be out before August. The redux of Act 1 will take longer than someone that knows nothing about the making of games would think. We might be seeing that between the middle of Aug, and sometime in Oct (at best, imo). I can only hope on Vagant Blood. If there is a revising it will come after Act 1's redux, meaning it would be between Nov, and Feb or March next year (at best, imo).
I'll be keep you posted!

Something I thought about sending my grandmother
Hello Grandmother,
(misspelling, grammar errors, etc)
It's been a while since my last letter, but this one may not be as good.
[1]'s been in New Orleans helping with the oil spill for weeks, and she won't be back until August. [2]'s new baby is fine, but I forgetting her name. It sounds something like mine, tho. Mom's going to take a GRE test, and go back to school to get her Master's in Social Work. I'm going to college soon, as well, but I don't know what for yet.
I think it's about time you knew what was going on, at least from my side of the story. I don't know what Foster's told you by now, but I'm going to tell you how I feel about it. Basically, I can never see or speak to him agian. I don't how he acts about some things towards you, but he's a bible-thumping, hypocrit of a pig, as far as I'm concidered. I also I have reason to believe he's somehow abusing his wife, at least in a verbal manner. He's a good amount of everything I hate about humanity. I 'm going to tell you that I'm bi/pansexual. I don't know how you react, but I'm sure it's better than his threating to hit me when I told him. I don't think that's a loving father should act towards their child(ren). Even if they didn't approve it, they should find some sort of acceptence for the love of their child. Then, he had the nerve to throw the bible my face (figueritivily) about it later on in the 2 months I stayed with him. He yells and gets threating at anything doesn't like, and throws a tandrum like a child. He'll lie and mis-quote the bible to get his way, too.
If it's one thing I've learned in 21 years, it's I have yet to see any God/dess' damn anyone. People are the one's that damn you. I've already been "damned" by the Christian God, so I don't concider myself a chirstian anymore. No point in following what I am damned by, with people damning me left and right. I'd rather not be unwelcomed, and treated like I'm a bad person when I haven't done anything to be treated that way. The only thing I'm going under now is Agnostic. I'll always believe in a power greater than myself and humanity that creativied us. I'm just not open with anything that isn't open to me. I live with alot of options, but alot of what i'm looking at in Pagan/ Wiccan, and Buddist stuff. I am visiting a church, and thinking of becoming a member. It's All Souls Unitarian Universalist church. Something some people never thought possible: ME, A MEMBER OF A CHURCH! I CHURCH I GENIUNLY LIKE TO GO TO!
Mother and I have had our share of feeling outs, but no matter what we forgive each other. More because we have to, than to just want to some of those times. I would die hungry on the streets before I ever accepted anymore "help" from [name of his]. I just don't want it to be a secert, or something over looked, anymore. I need you(, and maybe his siblings,) to understand that I hate him, as much as he hates me. But, I can look on the bright side of that. I believe I hate him for who he is. I don't hate/ dislike him on any hear-say. If you're going to be a low-life, hypocritically, abusive bastard, then be that. I feel this way based on what I've seen and heard for myself. Believe me, he hates me for who I am. [my name], and everything that comes with the title. I do hope that one I will be able to let go of my strong feeling of hate for him, but I also think hate is as needed as love - as one can't exsist without the other. If i do let go of the angry I will never approve or accept him as long as he's the way he is as I knew him. I doubt he'll ever change useless some really bad to him, like any other over-prideful man.
I want you to know that how I feel about his isn't reflected on you, it's just you house leans towards his territory. As long as you say, we can both visit at any time. Seeing as how I never want to see him I don't want to have open chance of either of us, his wife, or his other kids showing up at the same time.
Love ya!

I talked about it to my mother, and she said it wouldn't be a good idea to send it. I agrre now that i've thought about it. As long as no one on that side knows how i feel i can't talk to them, however. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

A few more bones to pick with the Samsung R451C
I'm a big texter, so I don't see how I left some of these out. Some are repeats from the last post I did.
No easy scroll for the inbox. I'm not talking about auto-scroll. I'm talking about being able to hit to right or left arrow and see different messges in your inbox. It does it for the outbot, however.
When you get done with something it clears the screen instead of going back to the menu.
You can have 999 speed dials, but only 10 favorite sites for your phone to go direct to the site.
LACK OF HOTKEYS AND SHORTCUTS. I take it the vioce the voice command ft is suppose to make up for that, but it doesn't!
No mulity select on anything. You either have to delete one at a time or all of it.
Can't zoom in on pictures.
Can't full screen on pictures. Has white sides.
Recent Message options, and Recent Call options - There is no "Recent Message" option in texting (like the recently texted).
If you hold down a key on pic/ sound messaging it willput in the symbol character that shares said key. Why doesn't that work on reg text, and online?
It comes with 14 preset messages, and you can only add 5 or 6 more.
Character limit 160, and doesn't add more pages.
It doesn't show the name OR number of who (or what, if you're hooked to stuff on your cell) is texting you, until after you open it.
It doesn't show some of the message before you open it.

My exp with the Samsung R451C
Been a month with the Samsung now. I have no problems with the service of StriaghtTalk. I suggest it it for any one that talks, texts, or mobile surfs at any time. They have "All you need" which are based on monthly mins, and UNLIMITED both : 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Version is the parent corp so the coverage is excellent. The only thing I don't like it that you can't buy tones, pics, and games from your phone. You have to get on a computer to do it.
My beef is with the phone, itself : Samsung. From the start I'm an LG fan, but I'll list the reasons I bought it, knowing with it has.
Better speaker
Better camera
Bigger screen
Easier moblie web surfing
Keypad
Vioce command. THE TOOL OF BOSSES!
Various other features, as listed on the box.
The phone i have is quiet sturdy.
A glossary for codes on the phone.
A loop big enough for charms (unlike my LG).
Easy accessible phone info
Now here are the things I don't like, that people don't seem to bring up in reviews.
It doesn't easy scan texts. Like, you can't press a key over, and go to the message in your inbox.
You can't surf with the phone not unfolded with the keypad out.
The phone lacks call and callback options. The only options it will jump to are texting.
You can only send one pic pre text. I reveal that's on alot of upgraded phones, but I don't like flooding peoples inbox with 1 pic at a time. That's annoying to both of use!
You can only set up the 3 alarms.
It comes with very stupid, and very FEW ringtones.
Only 2 phone "Themes". Black and White. Samsung, there are more colors than that. If you're going to go out of your way to make theme, make some themes!
THIS PHONE COMES WITH NO GAMES! No maze, tetris, pacman, any other lil thing you can think of. Nothing. Honestly, if I had known that I won't have bought it.
It doesn't relate numbers. If you have the number in your phone without the area code, when it calls the name you have won't come up. It will be the number WITH the area code.
It doesn't show the name OR number of who you're receiving a text from. That feature comes in handy when you have someone that sends you unpleasant things via text. It's good for avoiding normal chainmailers/ spammers, or just someone you don't want to talk to in general at the moment.
Only hold up to less than 70 texts in inbox and outbox.
The phone doesn't have a "zoom in" function on pictures.
When you set a picture you took as the wallpaper it doesn't let it cover the whole screen.
No folder options for pictures or sounds. Having the pictures all in one piles annoyes me more than it should.
You can't costumize hot-keys and/ or shortcuts.
No different contact list view options. I'm one for seeing the name and number(s) all together.
Only 1 page pre text, and the character limit is 160. It's not the character limit that's trobuling, it's the one page text. That's bull, to me. Having to send, and restart is a bigger hassle for me, than the normal texter. I don't use much net-slag or skip words. I have actually converAsations via texting, at time as well.
No multi select options for anything - texts, pics, etc
I'm thinking that some function are lacking ,because I've yet to put a memory card in the phone. I'm not sure what those features are yet, but I'm hoping it will do some unlocking, because of the new space available. This phone might be getting replaced late next year or early year after next. It has too may "don'ts and doesn'ts" for things that I think should be normal features.
But don't worry. Out of all the other little convinances(?) it lacks you can have up to 999 speed dails. If you're well known enough with 999 people to have them on speed dail, you're set.
PERSONALLY, I'll take 5 - 10 speed dails for games, easy scroll in my inbox, better call and call-back options, being able to zoom in on pics, have folders for pics, and being able to see how texting me before I read the text.
It's like Samsung had in mind to make the phone itself with as little pizzazz and personality as possible. My next phone will hopefully be an LG or a Moto.For Moto they'll have to get over that damn razor craze. You think they would've made some new phones BY NOW. Striaght Talk came out with a new phone right before I got mine, and 1 right after. If they can keep that up, and get more lgs, and other brands I'll be flooded with options, just the way I like it.
