First meeting with Adam at MI

Yesterday, simon and his brother came over and i tried to fix their computer all night. The OS crashed and so they were trying to reformat the HD, but they didn't have a OS Cd Key.. so i had to install my WinXP for them. However, their HD has been abused so much that it's almost dead.. and i believed there are many bad clusters that can't be repaired.

1. I tried installing a clean copy of Win2k.. but the network card wasn't being read as a card.

2. Tried installing WinXP Pro SP1 - which installed fine, but video card and sound blaster wasn't working

3. Tried installing WinXP Home SP1 - but didn't have the correct CD KEy

4. Tired installing WinXP Pro SP2 - and everything worked fine, until i tried installing Doom3 - and the system crashed and it wouldnt' boot windows anymore. I tried reformatting again using a boot CD, but it wouldn't do that either and just kept freezing. I ended up having to take out the HD, putting it as a slave drive on my computer and formatting it from there.

5. Finally re-installed WinXP Pro SP2, video card, sound blaster, and network card. Gave it back to simon today.

All of that work took literally 12 hours or so.. mostly was waiting for the software to install.. but damn that was long. I started at 9pm and finished around 9am.. slept for about 3 hours and Simon came over in the afternoon and we headed to motor impact to meet Adam who used to work at Macro with Simon for a little while.

I revamped my Resume.. and it looks pretty decent now.. i realized i have 6+ years of experience in the field, which makes me a Mid Level candidate. I printed it, and took it to Adam cuz he wanted a copy. he looked over it, and i guess he was happy at what he saw cuz he said he would call me about the job, and assured me he wanted to make it happen. not sure exactly what that means.

Me, Simon and Adam talked for a good hour about the auto business and how it works and what kind of ppl he was looking for. All in all, it sounds a bit intimidating cuz it's not my level of expertise, but it sounds interesting. Simon is also jobless so, i told him we should work together, and he asked Adam for a job aswell.. and i think his gonna get it.

I dunno, the place is located in Fullerton which is about 30 minutes from my house. Kinda far.. but i think i can deal with it.

After meeting adam, we went to video market, grocery shopping and came back home to order 5,5,5 deal from Domino's and watched Pari Yun In. I'm overstuffed with pizza right now.. SO FULL!

And since we both didn't sleep much, somehow we both fell asleep and woke up 4 hours later. I played Dota for a bit, and now i'm going to bed.
