I cant stand those kids, I started to watch it but I had to stop it less than half way through. They just annoy the living crap out of me.

I guess were considered the same generation. So many people from the franchise management company were surprised after they talked to me some. They all thought because I was 19 I was just coasting through life on my parents accomplishes. Its the lazy kids in our generation that ruin everything for the few who know right from wrong and actually give a crap. Most people see me and what I have and automaticly think everything was giving to me.

I have a feeling I'm going to have to get many part time jobs, so I can pay for college and my own truck, How hard would it be to make $13000 in a year working part time over a 1 year period?

Why?? You're *entitled* to a college education. Haven't you been paying attention during the campaigning??

LOL.... Don't know yet. He's busy handing out a trillion $$$ of our tax money to everyone first. I'm sure it's coming, along with "free" health care, etc, etc, etc....

And with that, I'm off to the rack. G'night all....

Take your pick. You've got 5 branches to choose from. Each one will pay for college once you're out.


I could use a ride, Chris. Now to just figure out where to go to find him...


In all seriousness I love seeing people like that kid. That just means that I'll look even better by comparison when I apply for jobs.

Example: This August-November I worked at an apple orchard in their little store and doing other assorted stuff that needed doing (ie: string trimming,etc.)

Well there was another kid that worked there as well. Let's call him Austin. Austin would work there Saturdays and I would work Sundays. That was the original plan at least. Every week when I came in I would find a bunch of pricing stamps stuck to the counter or something dumb like that. Then I'd have to spend my time with a straight razor scraping it off the next day. He screwed up on pricing stuff too.

Another thing we did was take a 25 pound box of bulk peanuts and fill up bags to 1.01 pounds. We had a scale right there for weighing apples and peaches and such.

Well I went in one morning and found a bunch of full bags of peanuts kind of thrown on the counter against the wall instead of stacked. I went over and started stacking them so they looked decent and they felt wrong. So I threw one on the scale and it was like 1.32 or something. When my boss walked in that morning with the cash tray she looked at me and asked "WTF?" I told her what happened so she says "Would you be willing to work Saturdays AND Sundays?" so of course I agreed. $10/hr is decent for someone my age. So the other kid got fired and I got the hours he was working as well as the ones I was supposed to be working.

Then after the store closed for the season they asked if I'd be willing to do other stuff. That goes to show that if you work hard and the other guy's a screw-up you'll win out.
