So, this time instead of taking over a year to update it’s only been 4 months. That’s progress right? I mean, gotta start somewhere if you catch my drift. As far as recent updates I have been extremely busy lately. I’m working again which is great not only for the income but because I’m actually doing something that I truly love. I graduated with an Associates Degree in Computer Networking Technology a few years back and I’ve always wanted to work in Information Technology. I also did amazing in school graduating at the top of my class. However, I was seriously dragging my feet on trying to get a tech related job. I’ve always done Customer Service, Administrative/Clerical and Management. Those areas kind of became my comfort zone and kept me from looking for jobs that harnessed ALL of my skills. So after this little sabbatical I’ve taken for the past 7 months or so… I finally pushed myself to apply for an entry-level job in my field. I’m now a Service Desk Analyst and I couldn’t be happier! I work with a lot of nerds and as such not only love my job but the environment as a whole. I feel like I’m actually making some legit friendships and its exactly what I need. I’m going to keep this entry short and sweet because I have some other ideas I’m working on for both the blog and YouTube (freaking finally). I just wanted to give my followers a quick update 😉

It’s Been Too Long.
Wow, so my last update on this blog was around a year and a half ago. I’m not gonna beat myself up about it because life happens… but I wish I would have made more of an effort. Running a site like this or even a YouTube channel can be a lot of work, especially with the goals and aspirations that I have for it and myself. It’s like a job where you give maximum effort for little to no pay. That said, I still wanted to make it work even if it could only be a part-time thing and I still do. I’ve invested a lot lately, particularly into my YouTube channel and I intend to do the same this summer for this website as well. A couple of months ago I bought a new HD video camera, some lighting equipment, and another mic. I even have better video editing software now; so the only thing holding me back is myself. I have a lot of friends in my corner pushing me to well… push myself, which is exactly what I need at the moment. I’m not going to set a schedule for how often I’ll update because that puts unnecessary stress and strain on me and only leaves my followers disappointed. However, I do promise to make more of an effort with all things extravagantGEEK going forward and I certainly have the resources I need now (including more time) so there is no excuse.

November Update.
Hey guys, so if you look back over the site and/or have seen my most recent YouTube video… you may be aware that I started a new job last month. A huge part of the reason why I was posting so frequently on here last month prior to starting the job was because I had a feeling I wouldn’t be able to dedicate as much time to the site once I was working again. I hate to admit it but I was right in feeling that way and almost went the entire month without making any posts on here at all. I definitely don’t want to get back into the habit of being insanely active on here and then disappearing again so I wanted to make a quick post about whats been going on with me.
First off, I’m loving my job… after not working for nearly 3 full months due to surgery recovery and moving its nice to have something to fill up my days and bring in money. I’ve also picked up a new tablet the Asus ZenPad s 8.0, and a new phone the 128GB Google Pixel… I really wanted the XL but it wouldn’t have been available to me until after Christmas and that was not going to work for me. The past couple months with that 16GB iPhone gave me the blues and I simply couldn’t wait any longer. I plan to do a review of the tablet and possibly even the phone within the next week or two. The tablet review will be a definite as I had a few people request it. I apologize for the delay in getting around to that but I seriously haven’t had the time.
I’ve got a little more work to do around the house today and I’m feeling a bit drowsy so I guess I go ahead and wrap it up here. As always, I want to let my readers know that I appreciate you sticking in there with me. I’ll be around, promise.
