New jawb?
Yep. Amongst other things.
What would that be?
Getting a new car
To move to a new house
In a new town
For a new job
With a new significant other
After your new sex change operation
I think I just nailed everything possible. But for srs, hope everything's ok.
Comcast router was being a douche, so I decided to actually get stuff done. So far I'm going through my room bagging trash, sorting what stays here and packing anything I can leave in Miami if I go.

Ran a 17 tonight in the 7th gen. Pretty good for a bone stock grocery getter I'd say!

Roll on icy hot is a no go
What else? Im intrigued...
There are some things I haven't shared with you guys, only because I don't want to be judged for these mistakes.
I'm a high school drop out, I made bad decisions in my first two years of high school and received no credit for my first two years. Halfway through school my credit requirements changed, putting me even more behind. When it came time for my class to graduate I would have had to stay for another three years, meaning I would be twenty one before graduating, which isn't allowed in my state. So I dropped out. I haven't gotten my GED because I can't pass the math portion of the test. Math has always been a weak spot for me. I haven't passed a math class since 8th grade. I took Algebra 1 four times and when I finally passed it my senior year, the teacher just passed everyone. I was going to wait to get my GED before looking for another job, but some s**t has been going down at work making things completely unfair and just not worth it. I've been stressed out as hell lately and I only make 9.00/ hour managing a restaurant. This company's idea of management is almost like the role of a partner, for s**t pay. My highest check ever was 520. Bi weekly. I don't get benefits, I don't get overtime, and I've been there for four years. My girlfriend is about to go on vacation for a week and when she gets back she will be starting and this same place that I work. Her brother is the day manager. So that, on top of all the other s**t, is more than enough to make me leave. Working with my girlfriend would be a disaster, sorry. So now, without a GED, my options are obviously limited. I'm hoping to get on at Walmart unloading trailers. I've got a friend helping me. It pays better than where I'm at now. I'm just worried about stability. Where I've worked I've always had 100% job security. I obviously won't have that at such a major corporation.
Once my girlfriend starts work and gets a car, we will be looking for a place to stay. I plan to have my GED by the time she gets her car, and hopefully a better job. I currently live with her at her parents house, in a double wide trailer. We don't live at my parents (in a nice ass split foyer home) because my sister was recently arrested for federal drug trafficking by us marshals.
So between my sister facing 15 years in prison, finding another job without a GED, getting my GED, finding a place to live, and a ton of other s**t, I'm just slightly overwhelmed.
Sorry for the rant..
Let's see to get back on topic, today I am working a double.
Rant on friend we were the ones who asked. I'd be overwhelmed too if I was in that situation.
Im not judging, everyone makes mistakes in their life. Even Bill ClintonThere are some things I haven't shared with you guys, only because I don't want to be judged for these mistakes.

. I would be stressed out as well had this happened to me but the only advice I can give is to keep trudging on though the sludge until you get to firm ground. There are many jobs out there, and once you have snatched one just stick with it and move up. Sounds simple, and it is at times...its just the fact that it takes time to get there that makes it seem bad. Usually places will move you up after a year, so when you get a new job, talk to your manager and see if it is possible. If it isn't and you see people who have worked there five years doing the same thing, move to the next one. Some major companies do have stability, like certain retail stores, hotels, and refineries; So just don't give up and you will find something.third day doing 10 hour shifts of nothing but overtime, I love it! 40 an hour makes it a lot easier to get up at 5am, but I'm ready for tequila and a nap
Valid point.. Damn you. BTW, I finished the 1st tomb raider last night during my work out. I have no choice but to watch the next one now.
+1 on the woman batman! (cat woman?)

First of all man, you got guts. I know it's the internet and nobody really "knows" anyone but still... Are you just a math class away from getting your GED or do you still have others to finish as well? Getting that is very important for all the reasons you just laid out but so is work history. Which you have. Those together will get your foot in the door just about anywhere. In my line of work, OJT (on the job training) is more important that school. I myself do not have a college degree but have been making 6 figures since I was 28 (33 now) because i'm good at what I do and have a butt load of experience. All you need to do is help yourself a little bit and someone else will help you out a lot. As long as your a good hard working and honest guy, good things will come your way. Trust me. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and someone is going to see that. You just need to see it first! You have management experience. That's huge! Get that GED and start applying for companies looking for managers with room to grow. Walmart is a good one if you get that job!
Nobody is going to have faith in you if YOU don't have faith in you.
Back on topic: Today I fly out to Louisiana for a week of training, then on to Texas to continue training for 2 more weeks. I CAN NOT WAIT!!! This is going to be AWESOME!
Its even easier when you wake up to do a 12+ hour shift for double time
trust me, it feels so much easier and better, but the second you get a day off you will be more than ready for that tequila and a nap.I was waiting for a guy to come view my collectors guitars but im guessing he is going to flake, Guess i have to find someone else that is interested.
Lol, why?Take it to this guy
