It's official!
I now finally have a job. :D Yesterday, my friend's dad called up and asked if I could come in to his shop today, and I, of course, accepted right away. So at around 5:45 am this morning (=_=), I left to go to my friend's house and get a ride over. From 7 to 4 I work either in his real estate (which I should be doing for most of the time), or in his shop where he makes awnings and signs. While I was there, my friend's mom gave me these sheets that I had to sign to make the job official, and copied my drivers liscense since I'm going to be driving their cars, so I'm guessing that this probably won't be a job that I'll be doing for a week or two to make a quick buck, lol. Although, I can't really say that making a little money isn't my incentive. ;p In particular, I still need to pay my brother for half of the new PS2 that he bought, a DDR Ignition pad, DDR Max1, and some anime series for next year's anime club (Angel Links, Lain, Noir, RahXephon, and X). Everything else on my list, I better wait until my birthday or there won't be anything to get come September, heh.

It seems that even with the starting pay that I'm getting, I'll probably be able to afford everything on my list in as little as a week and a half of pay. Right now he's paying me 7 dollars an hour under the table for an 8 and a half hour day, but he might give me a raise depending on how well I do on painting tommorrow. At this rate, I could have the money everything in about 5 days of working, once you include the money I already have. :D But you guys don't care about that stuff anyway, lol. I just like to use these posts to put down my thoughts. As for the money I make after that, I think it's best if I put it in a bank account.

I guess that only other thing I haven't touched on yet is exactly what I'm doing in this job, of which I'm getting a lot of questions about already. Well, like I said, my work either covers fixing up the real estate, or working in the shop. Today, for example, I went into this real estate that they are trying to clean out, and went through sweeping up loads of dust that had accumulated there over however many months or years. I put the piles of dust into trash bags, along with other trash that was laying around, and took two or three trips in the truck getting it all down to the dumpster by the shop. AFter that.. I believe that we spent the rest of the day chipping away loose paint chips off of a wall that we're going to be painting tommorrow. It was a real bitch, because you didn't really know where you were done, but I suppose it makes sense because you don't want the chips falling off after you paint it, you know?

Ah well, I better be getting to bed pretty soon. It's 9:45.. God, I feel like my parents, lol. Having to get up really early so as to having to go to be really early as well. I also can't forget my boom box and my CDs so that we can have something to listen to while we work.
