Wooohoooo! Got a new job! March 07, 2005, 12:59:32 PM You may now address me as Officer Dare! As I am now an employee of the I.D.O.C! Starting out at $12.99 an hour. All the overtime I want, medical, dental, vision. Hell yeah! Its Modding time! Only bad thing is, I gotta be on my best behavior now. Can't get into any fights, no tickets or anything like that. Can't miss any work or be late for 6 months (of course, I've only called in sick for work maybe twice in the past 4 years! so thats no problem) But I start the 21st, so no more pizza for me! :D Quote Selected
Re: Wooohoooo! Got a new job! Reply #1 – March 07, 2005, 01:18:09 PM Glad ya got something you're happy about, but my advice is to watch yourself. I know two guys who did the whole corrections thing, (one has been a friend for over 20 years now, the other is an equally long-time friend of the first guy) and it screws with your head. Won't go into details, but let's just say that for one of them, it involved (at the end) a nice little state-mandated 3 day vacation. Put the term "Baker Act" into Google if you wanna know more.Plus, I don't know about up there, but down here I've heard the local cops really don't like the corrections people. Not sure if something like that would bother ya. Quote Selected

Re: Wooohoooo! Got a new job! Reply #9 – March 08, 2005, 03:01:18 AM I tell ya what man, I miss 2002 and my 96 tbird! I made so much money that year that if I made it every year, I'd be staying at PJ's. I was making like $150 a night in tips. From about mid December to about mid Jan 2002 I made over $4000! I put all of my money in my safe. I had this big ole Pimp sized stack of cash! I miss them days!I tell ya what, and I'm not just tooting my own horn cause corporate has even told me this, I'm one of the best drivers in the state. Sadly, all it cost me to get where I am is a lot of wrecks, a car, and having my insurence rates go through the roof cause they consider me a bad defensive drivers! even though not one (knock on wood) wreck was ever my fault. If you're in a good nieghbor hood, Is a great job to have. You always got money. In the past 3.5 years I can't think of one day where I didn't at least have a dollar to my name. Quote Selected

Reply #10 – March 08, 2005, 09:01:29 AM That's cold Zypro, you know they didn't mean to give you a $100 bill and I wouldn't go posting that your morals are so low that you didn't bring it to their attention or return it. Congrats dare, hope you like it. Jobs are so scarce around here, I've considered being a jailor down at the county jail. Got an interview for a production manager tommorow though so hopefully that goes well Quote Selected

Re: Wooohoooo! Got a new job! Reply #13 – March 08, 2005, 04:44:08 PM Im glad to hear your luck is smoothing out. advice,,, id suggest that you should never turn down any certification or class offered. Everything from CPR to Hazmat keeps you valuable,,, just dont get too valuable on us,,you might start talking like you know something. :flip: Good job man!!good luck makng friends and keeping your head on a pivit.

Re: Wooohoooo! Got a new job! Reply #14 – March 08, 2005, 05:32:26 PM Ditto on the classes. Should you decide to relocate in the future the fact that you are already certified in certain things (EMT, Hazmat....) may help in the salary area as well as career movement. Quote Selected
