Smile Things have changed for the better...

I finally got out of the hell whole that has ruined my life for the last 2 years. I've been working at a restaurant called Crown Sterling since I had just turned 16 and I'm not about to turn 18. This place has had me working 3pm-11pm Tuesday through Saturday every week and only for pennies basically. That job is the reason I was stressing so badly over my previous mustang because funds were so tight. So anyways, I go up to my sister's work to pick up a home charger for my new cellphone. She is the Store Manager of a cellphone service and accessories place called One Stop Cellular so she usually gets me some **** for free. So I'm sitting there talking to her and she gets a phone call. It's the GM of another store about 2 minutes from my house. The lady wanted to know if she knew anyone that she could hire because her partner just quit on her. My sister, knowing how much I hate the Crown Sterling, says "Yeah, my brother wants a new job really bad but he isn't quite 18 (*Have to be 18 to sign contracts for customers*). So the GM of the other store tells my sister she will call her back in a few. Welp, turns out she called the district manager of our area and asked her if I could just simply train until June 27th, being my birthday. The District Manager agreed to it and I was there the next day picking up paper work.

Greatest part of this job is the work involved and the pay. I'll be making $6.50 an hour plus a $300-$700 commission check depending on how many phones I sell but the store I'll be at is the busiest in our area and my commission checks will be probably average right out around $700 a month and sometimes going as high as $1200 usually around the holidays. That is not counting the spiff checks I will be receiving from different carriers that offer a set amount every time you sell their plan to someone. Those usually turn out at about $200-$400 a month. My sister has been doing it for about 5-7 years and she loves it. When you aren't selling phones, you are sitting there browsing the internet. I'll be working 10am-7pm and receiving 35-37 hours a week.

Best part about all of this is the old motor from the totalled Mustang will most definitely be built by the end of this summer and I'll save for the other **** during the school year. I should have alot of spending money seeing as how I can live off the $6.50 an hour with that many hours by itself and all the other cash will just be like a bonus for me.


Really irrevelant to anything on this site but I was excited and thought I would share.

Hahaha, once I find one I have no idea what I will do with the sn-95 motor. Probably keep incase of an emergency but who knows, I might be willing to sell it if I have to.
