Brandon's Story
School
May 2004 best day of my life other then feb 2004 when I obtained eagle scout rank.
May 2004 was graduation from high school.
No more being picked on, no more being harasses, and just like every year i got people signing my yearbook appologizing for the way they treated me all thoughout middle and high school and want me to remember them if i become rich or famous. Well I hope to start my own business that is a little far off since I need to make money to start a business.
In highschool and college i've always had a thing for female redheads im a redhead and i've always liked redheads I felt I get along better with them.
Had a crush on a couple girls at bhs one who lived down the street from me (later lost interest after i got to know her better just remained friends).
I really liked this one redhaired female at bhs never really got to know her was tempted to ask her to prom but chickened out and just went with friends to after prom. I think she knew i liked her but nothing really came of it had a couple classes with her she was always very quiet anytime i went to talk to her i made an ass of myself somehow but she made it clear that she absolutely hated computers with a passion. Supposedly one of my favorite computer teachers put the fear of god into her after a machine she was using broke at willets middle school. Who Knows...
Overall I haven't other then my ex Tara pursued any relationships with anyone because i plan on moving to florida after graduation from UT since my career is very limited in the ohio job market.
*** Reality Check *** looking back on all the people who were the cool people in High School or the Super Smart ones from what I have seen they did not amount for as much as i thought they would have. And the ones who bought designer clothes and made fun of me for my cheap ass walmart shirts live pretty much in poverty. So overall I'm very thankful to god and my family to helping me get to where I am today and for the way I raised.
College
Started UT in fall of 2004. Lived in Carter Hall Room 321 West. Had A Bipolar roommate from hell.
signed up for facebook.
Moved to a newer residence hall in 2005.
Graduated with my associates degree: Associates of Applied Business in Information Services and Support with High Honors. in May 2006.
Remained in same reisdence hall aug 2006 - present
Jan 2006 - May 2006 had my first g/f ended up not working out I broke up with her couple weeks before finals in spring 2006. We had alot in common and she was a good friend but I could not see any future chemistry between us. None the less she rebounded rather quickly and now plans to marry her new b/f so no need to feel sorry for her and im quite happy because work and school was getting hard to balance. I don't have any intentions of looking for a new g/f until i graduate but if something comes up before graduation i'm ok with that.
I plan to graduate with my bachelors in may 2008.
Workplace

ivering Newspapers from 1999 - 2001
5AM every thursday (yuck) (holiday tips were nice though)
Mcdonalds 2001 - Dec 31, 2005
Nice place to work to begin with decent pay at the time but when it came down to pay raises they really skimped or avoided the subject claiming they did not make budget even though we were one of the highest grossing stores in NE Ohio and the Manager was the Sister in law of the Franchise Owner so she got to do or say what she wanted.
Became a crew trainer delt with numerous new managers who seemed their only goal in life was to control little teenagers and write people up for stupid things.
Worked for a Boy Scout Camp one Summer love the camp. Pay was horrible. Job was alright dining hall assistant.
Free room and board helped my parents finances during that summer.
AVI Foodsystems. 2004 - 2006 2006 - 2007
Dining Hall Assistant (easy job great hours) 2004
DH Asst / Open Prep (easy job, great hours, very bad mgmt style and food quality) 2005 - 2006
2006 - 2007 Floater worked where needed (easy job no pay raise)
University of Toledo Help Desk
Great Experience, Fun People, Decent Pay for on campus job.
University of Toledo Distance Learning Dept.
Way too much office politics, overly controlling director (K.R.) no matter how hard you work and no matter how much effort you put into your job here it is never good enough for the Doc. and my retired sup.
God forbid at this job if you talk too loud on the phone you might irritate someone in the next cubicle who will play Enya songs over and over from 9am to 5pm. Beware this dept posts jobs stating helpdesk its is more like personal secretary, phone person no technical skills other then how to turn on a pc and install a program you can download from google. (High Turnover Rate)
Giant Eagle 2006
Kitchens: With my food service experience i was set in this dept except for my co-workers were all in their mid 30's to 40's and were intimidated because i had a college degree so i transferred to bakery everyone was happy bakery was awesome. our slogan what happens in the bakery stays in the bakery. Just like Vegas. only Cleaner. (physically and morally).
Sandridge foods.
Great local place to work excellent pay and hours interesting union staff pretty much no political correctness once in the building no matter how hard i tried to remain my professional demenor being that I was in a supervisory position the employees tested my paitence and attitude but overall we all got along and i left without giving in to their dirty jokes or flirtatious behavior. it was a fun job only down side was the summer weight gain since i tested all the foods for quality control. As soon as i returned to college the weight came right off. Made summer feel like it went by too quickly.
Best Buy
Seasonal Employee Geek Squad
