Just wondering, I just got my first job. Im gonna be working at Wendys. Well if I pass a drug test, which I should.:D
Comments
I thought you just started working again.
Total shit job.
Presently, I sell shit on ebay for people, work in a stringed instrumet repair shop, and run my own little shop doing the same out of my house.
Unfortunately, business for all of the above is shit, so I'm waiting on a handful of places to get back to me.
The most promising one is in Nashville.
Hooray moving.
Doing what? I want this
They drug test at Wendy's now? That used to be the only reason to work at those places. Because, they'd let you come in trashed every day.
edit: oh yeah, I'm sous chef at an ocean front restaurant. I like it. Been there almost 5 years.
I work in freelance expedite. To put it plainly I am a trucker with areally really big van instead of a big rig. If you want this job buy yourself a Dodge Sprinter. It doesn't have to be brand new but you can run for more companies if it is. Once you have one pm me and I'll tell you a couple of good companies to get runs from.
Thanks for the offer though bro.
Yea, its bullshit. I'm pretty sure I'll pass but the test results come back monday so I'm nervous as fuck. I did some ritalin and valium about a week before the test but I dont smoke weed and I drank a fuckton of water for like 3 days straight, my piss was about pure water.
Gets a little boring sometimes. When it reaches that stage, I jump in my car and fuck off anywhere but here for a few hours.
I thought that was considered "diluted" which is not a pass. Don't they make you re-test. Well, I guess as long as you stay clean till you pass one you'll be alright. Good luck.. Oh and don't work the register that shit sucks. You should work the grill and make everyone call you sponge bob.
I managed to hustle my way into senior management at a carbon trading firm. Its a growth industry and im loving this shit.
Remember kids - you can do it too!
i'd throw a handful of pennies at your face then stomp your guitar you poor ass faggot
I've thought about doing that, something different you know?
Yeah, especially if you pick the right place. Like this is a college town and there's a street very popular with students for eating/shopping, around six at night it's full of people walking around looking to spend money or who have change from just spending money. There are a lot of bus that just sit on a corner and yell "Change! change!", people are much more likely to give it to a clean looking kid singing and playing guitar with a case open.
They money isn't great, but i don't do it for that long. I could probably spend all day going to different spots in the town, but, meh. I can easily make $4-5 in a go which is enough for some soup, a loaf of day old bread, two apples, and two pints of beer, which is pretty much my daily diet.
He reckoned he can make 250 to 400 hundy in about 4hrs in the city.
No vocals, just guitar. His talent was ok but not great. Sounds like a good earn and promotes himself.
Wow! Yeah especially in a city I wouldn't be surprised... My friends and I drive down to NYC every few weekends to get coke and shit, next time I seriously think I'll post up with my guitar in a metro station for a few hours
We can make more than you think.
Im mid twenties.
You do it by leveraging positions.
If your in a job and you think you can do what your boss does - go talk to competitors.
12 hour shifts, 5 days on 5 days off.
I like it and the pay is good (£25k).
Would have started a thread about this, but not sure there'd be much discussion.
Next Thursday I've got an interview in Nashville for a position in Gibson USA's manufacturing division.
People WILL pay me to build guitars, goddamnit!
I swear they will!
I know a few people that play covers at the bars. Mostly classic rock and what not with a mix of more recent material such as new alice but you really dont make a lot unless you are in the right location. Around where I live you cant even come close to making a living off of it but if its what you love to do it is still most definitely a fun way to spend your weekends.
I might not post in R&R that much, but feel free to shoot me any questions you might have. Been doing this on some scale for 6 years. Though I will admit I have things to learn, i'm quite confident in my abilities.
When I first moved to the UK and was an illegal imigrant I worked for a pikey.
The pay was £150 a week, a small fortune in my old country. If I worked 40 hours a week it would have been £3.75 an hour but generally I worked alot more for the same money.
Fuck doing that now, couldnt even pay my rent on that.
