I got a job! Finally!

Of course, it's not my dream job. Far from it. I'm going to be working in a warehouse lifting boxes for ten hours a day. But I'm actually going to be getting real American currency for it. And that currency can be used to buy goods and services at a number of locales I will be able to purchase goods and services, including lodging and food, from real individuals intent on separating me from my hard earned American currency! Once again, when people want to rip me off, I'll have actual money that they'll want!

Sorry if I sound a little off. It's been a long day, but this made it for me.

Step up to the bar. Let's have a round, on me.

Congrats Vis!!! Yeah, the job may be lifting boxes, but you'll get in shape from it! And you won't have to pay, like at a gym!!

(Takes drink, raises it to Vis)

Congrats Vis, I know what it's like to look for work in todays economy. As crappy as you may think your job is, look at it tis way. At least you don't work at Radio Shack for 6 canadian dollars an hour

Yeah, the local Radio Shack is hiring, but I didn't really want to go back to retail work. Especially not just before Christmas.

Actually the best time to work at Radio Shack is November/December. Last year my smallest paycheck during those two months was almost a thousand dollars. I normally make about that in a month. Not that I suggest it's an easy time of year to work there, but it does pay off.

Well, I have 2 years of Christmas at Best Buy, and another four at Target, so I've done my stint in Hell.

Yeah, menial jobs are fun...for a while, but at least you don't really have any responsibility, and think of all the minimum wage you'll be making! And, if you work at a bar like me, you can get beer at happy hour prices, all the time! But rarely for free...
