So I had a very good day today. This dosent happen alot. Today I was within 1% of passing a 2 part test, I take the second part on monday. As soon as I get ONE more question right on this test I will have this job in the bag. I will also no longer be in training and start my regular hours. For the first time in for ever I will be getting a paycheck tommarow, and then regularly as long as I am at this job. I am very excited about it. I am probably going to put a guitar on hold first thing tommarow after I open my first checking account. I will start saving money up and get a LOT of car stuff done. Sorry to make a thread about me, but thing are going my way finally.
Thats cool man, I just took my first test today (got 2 more to go) Got 98 out of 100 (50 questions 2pts each) And I would have gotten 100, but I screwed up and filled in the wrong bubble! ARG! Now I've just got two more borring weeks of policy and procedure to go through.
Glad to hear both you guys have gotten a real job... Hang in there things are always toughest in the begining...
And if they offer a 401K program.... partite!!!! Because I joined up when I started working, I'm gonna be able to retire at 55.....
I don't have 401K, I got Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF) So I'll get to retire at 55 too! :)
Things are finally starting to go my way, too.
- '88's cleaned up quite a bit inside and is almost driveable. Also, due to unfortunate cirspoogestances, I got a free part for it that probably had to be replaced anyway. (the TFI module was so brittle it snapped in half)
- Found an old watch my father gave me that's now worth potentially quite a bit of money on Ebay.
- My mother decided the whole house needed new bedding today, 'cause there was a grand opening of a local mattress store, so I just got a brand new king-size bed to replace my ten year old queen-size.
- Finally getting over a cold that was bad enough to rob me of my voice for a few days, from all the coughing. I'm talking that kinda coughing where your throat hurts so bad, you're half-coughing, half-screaming and you're dizzy by the time it's over and everyone in the room is looking at you like you should be in the hospital.
- Free beer.
Huzzah!
Good to hear that both of your jobs are going good, still lookin myself but im hoping to find something soon.
Hope they work out in the long run for you all :hick:
