A job where I get pay raises quickly, based on how well I work. After as few as 4 weeks, I could jump from $9/hour to $11/hour. Sweet. Also, I guess I get to approve or deny my schedule as far as three weeks in advance, so I can control how many hours I want to work, and what days. And the icing on the cake is that not only can I come back and work during winter break, but their busiest time is after the holiday season, aka, January. Therefore, when most everyone is back at school and I have shit to do, I'll have a ton of work I can do and make a shitload of cash really quickly. By that I mean, probably around $1600 in that one month, maybe more if I work hard now and get some fat raises.
Technically I don't have the job yet, but I was invited back for a second interview on Tuesday, and if that goes well, then I start my paid training soon after.
I just cashed the last two of my UMass paychecks, barely totaling more than $100, but It put me back over the $1000 savings mark. This new job pays weekly, a nice change from the biweekly-ass-ness I've grown accustom to. Hopefully I'll be working by the end of next week, and be putting money in the bank, so I can treat a certain person who's been helping me out whilst being jobless, even though she's paid like a queen in comparison. =P
Since my radio's broken, I keep hearing that song, and I think I understand it now. Perhaps it's true that only shooting stars break the mold. Something to strive for.
