    Haha that's sweet, still making good money? I actually snuck over to one of our wholesalers on a tip from a driver that they might need someone. Went and filled out an app and asked for the guy who does the hiring by name. Wouldn't let me in his office with a Yuengling hat on, sat me down and gave me a Bud hat haha. He was actually ready to hire me on the spot he said he has to make sure he can hire one more guy. Shooting for the end of the month or December at the latest. I might finally have luck on my side, 20.75 an hour, union, and awesome benefits... Keep this one in your prayers tonight man I feel like I'm annoying the big guy upstairs asking for this haha. And yes your plan sounds good, minus the having a few beers with that lying thief and poor excuse of a school director

    That's not bad, isn't that available for you yet? You have some seniority there now don't you? Time flies man, I've been out of that place a year and a half. Sigh.

    yeah it can get costly...depending where u are really... just like home u go and shopping and stock up...beets eating out..which i tend to do more often then not sadly.. but have a blast! being young and single and no kids makes it a lot easier, lots of guys out here have to support families back home and have to work their tails off to do so.. im lucky enough where i dont have to worry about that...
    hope ur sis is doing well as well...
    when will u find out about the job?
