I dont mind doing manual labor as it is what I do now, I think I am more discouraged from it being I have been screwed by people several times in the last 5 months so it's really disheartening and frustrating

Friends are friends but business is business. Be polite and respectful but remain firm. He agreed to pay you and you want the money. Even if it's a few bucks at a time. Sadly, lots of folks finances are on the skids right now so you may be out of luck.

I've known the owner at my part time gig since he started out as a rookie mechanic 25 years ago. Nice guy. My money is there on payday. Flip side of the coin. If I borrow a tow truck to drag one of my gems around it's returned clean and full of fuel. No exceptions.

I am a recent graduate of the University of South Carolina with my Bachelor of Music in music education and violin performance. I am a professional violinist in the Columbia area, although I have played all over South Carolina and Georgia. I'm currently interviewing for public school teaching jobs in the Charleston area. On the side, I've worked my way through college at West Marine - i've done everything from sales guy to truck crew to temporary store manager.

I've been lurking around FTE for a while now - mostly in 7.3 forum, but I haven't done much posting. I'm looking to get into a Super Duty in the next 6 months or so, once I get settled into the beginnings of my teaching career.
