So sorry its so late I just got off work at 10:30. Not that I'm complaining. I had a great night. It was even fun. *GASP work is fun?? I learned to carhop tonight. I was SOO nervous! Not to mention making an awful mess. My paycheck is going to be pretty hefty too! I get paid biweekly. Let me take a minute to explain how my pay works. When I am clocked in as crew, crew meaning anything other than a carhop, I make minimum wage. Thats $7.25 an hour. When I am clocked in as a carhop I make $3.13 an hour plus tips. I know right? Who tips at sonic? WRONG! But I'll get to that in a minute. $3.13 an hour sucks ass right? So sonic is so nice that when you're clocked in as a carhop making $3.13 an hour plus tips that if your 3.13 and tips don't add up to what minimum wage would be they pay you the difference. Awesome right?
So tuesday I worked for two and half hours as crew, and yesterday I worked for four and a half hours as crew. Tonight I worked for two hours as crew, and for three hours as a carhop. In tips I made $10.86 for just three hours. I think that is good. If its not don't tell me and spoil my excitement. It would have been $10.96 but I paid ten cents for a drink because I was thirsty. I wouldn't even have to pay if I bring my own cup from home as long as it has a lid. So basically I'm excited. I really like playing time management games when I'm on the computer and bored. Like diner dash and wedding dash and such. I felt like I was actually in diner dash while at work, and thats why it was fun. Don't judge me, I am fully aware of how nerdy that was. :)
So my shirt is bright ass lime green and neon yellow, and my feet hurt like a mother, I'm really happy with my choice, and God's grace in giving me a job. It was beyond time and need. I'd just like to share how happy I am today. God is good, and I have an awesome family- even if they drive me insane, and an amazing fiance. I've got my financial situation at least somewhat under control, and I am in school trying to better myself. Jeffrey and I had a deal that if he didn't make at least a $100 this month before christmas that he had to get another job because I am not going to be the only one working. Its almost christmas and unless he works his booty off with primerica he isn't going to make that deadline. I don't mind primerica, I do believe its a good company and I love the opprotunity and possibilities it offers. I know it works, His brother and sister in law sold their plumbing company and she quit her teaching job and they are supporting themselves very well.
I know its Jeffrey's "dream" and thats wonderful too! I love that he has dreams and goals. I hate that he has the ambition of a Thibodaux though. He won't do what he has to do to make his way up the ladder in tat business. I don't know if he doesn't get it or doesn't care that since this is his dream right now is the only PERFECT time to do it. We aren't married yet, he lives at home with NO bills, and we don't have children (thank God) right now is the only time he can invest in this company that hes going to need to make it. I set the bar pretty low a $100 in 25 days? Easy. His brother Johnny is some kind of manager at El Torro and said he can get him a job. So after christmas if he hasn't made the money, he promised to tell him he wants a job. I'm hoping for this. Not because I'm a dream crusher, but because I want him to work. Thats all I've got tonight, babies.
i'm soo pround of you jenny! but as for jeffrey, selling shit isn't for everyone. el toro would be great for him.
