Hello All!

For those of you members who know me personally, then you have seen how I've been living off borrowed money since October.  As a student, I couldn't qualify for government assistance (If I could, I don't think I'd want it anyway).  But now I have been called regarding a job opportunity for this next semester, with GREAT benefits, decent pay (for a student), and EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE HOURS!  These are all of the things I'd wanted in a job.  I'll be working in a bar/grill/sub-shop, but it's a GREAT JOB, with good people, I have 2 friends who work there already.  I think that's how I got the interview so fast, since I ran into one right after dropping off the application.

I HOPE & PRAY I'LL HAVE A JOB SOON!  Say a prayer, or wish me luck!  I need it!

PS.  Benefits are:
2 Free Beers after EVERY shift.
50% off ALL FOOD when not working!
Free Soft-Drinks while working!

OH! SH!T!  WOW!  LMFAO!  I have snot runnign out of my nose, and have tears going down my face!  I laughed so hard, I started coughing, and had an asthma attack!  [:D]  That laughter was worth it though! Ahhh...  *Wiping tears off my face*

I GOT THE JOB!  MAN, I'm SO HAPPY! I have a J.O.B.!!!  It's nice having a job since I've been laid off months ago!  WOW!  The manager is a GREAT GUY TOO!  Scheduling is great too!  I'm the new Sub-Sandwich Maker, and have to keep their oil recipe secret, and make great toasted subs at this bar!

I like the benefits so much I'll repeat them:
[b]2 FREE BEERS[/b] after every shift you work.
[b]50% OFF ALL FOOD[/b] when not on duty.
UNLIMITED SUPPLY of non-alcoholic beverages AT ANY TIME!  (Free Lemonade, Soda, Etc...)

Working with FRIENDS, watching FOOTBALL & HOCKEY when things die-down a bit, free ice-cream & popcorn!  Man, what a GREAT JOB for a POOR STARVING COLLEGE STUDENT!  I think if I had to eat ONE MORE RAMEN PACKET I'd be sh!tting out gobs of RAMEN that look like miniature BRAINS.  MAN, this job is JUST IN TIME for me to go GROCERY SHOPPING TOO!  (Lord knows I REFUSE to buy Ramen for a Loooooooong Time!)

Thanks for your prayers!  I really appreciate it!  I hope my first day on the job goes well tomorrow!

This place puts Quiznos to shame...  Seriously!  These subs are their biggest seller (Besides Beer).

I did get to move out of the hood about 6 months ago, and MAN it feels great living in a different place.  I just didn't change my name, because I don't know whether people would like the change to:

Aviator, I'm VERY glad you made it out of that neighborhood ALIVE!  Try going there [i]now[/i] on a Metro-Transit bus, and walk around that hood at night...  I'd bet nearly $50.00 you don't get out of that hood without any confrontation!  I'm REALLY glad I don't live there!

My old ghetto-hood was about 4 blocks away from the Metrodome, right next to a homeless shelter and a couple bars.  I'm VERY happy that I'm usually carrying mace & a knife!  My new place is in a peaceful neighborhood along East River Road by HWY 94 & MN280.  It's a GREAT place, and not far from campus!  Within walking distance to campus & some bars, and my job!

I [i]WAS[/i] studying Computer Science, but after having some issues in life arise, I realized that I was only seeking CompSci for the $$.  That & I was good at it.  But it bored me to death, and the thought of a Consultant Systems Analysis job didn't seem to appealing anymore.  Thus I weighed my options, and determined Architecture would be a fun career, and am persuing that now.  After about 1 year chasing Architecture, I realized another great thing:  I'M REALLY GOOD AT IT, AND I LOVE IT!

So that's my abbreviated story of my college experience thus far, excluding COUNTLESS problems with the University, 8 attempted muggings/assaults, and the long history of psychotic women I've dated.

This job will be a blessing from God.  My brother thinks I'll get sick of it quickly, but I doubt that!  Even if I do, I can always live off the $$ I'll have saved up, and quit.

This job is going to get me back on my feet fast, it will get my bills paid, and it will still afford me $$ for toys (guns), and free beer/soda!  I have to watch my weight though, because I've already gained 10 lbs since the beginning of the year.

I'm thinking I'll really love this job.  Thanks for all of your support & your prayers guys!

Close!  Great guess!  I applied at both places, but Stubs wasn't hiring, and Sallies had just hired someone the day I applied.  My new job is working at Big Ten Bar & Grill.  I'll be working in the Sub Shop making their great toasted subs.  I had to sign a confidentiality waiver today to make sure I wouldn't sell off their recipes for their secret sauces/oils for their sandwiches, etc...  There's a lot more to the job than I had thought.!

Are you on campus, Gorto?  I hope you're going to make it to the MN Shoot in this January 18th...  Check the hometown boards if for more info.
