Im in the Fire Academy now and its fun and stressful at the same time. Its Mon- Fri from 7a to 5p with 3 test a week, so i guess it kinda takes a toll on you. But otherwise then that FIRE is freaking awesome and i have a month left and im DONE!! Just have to get a job.

work in a wheel store,things are kinda slow right now,so it's a little worrisome.But there's nothing I can do about that.other then that It's a pretty cool job!!You get to meet some interesting people.Example I had the pleasure to help Ronaldo Hill of the Dolphin.#24.He brought his Lexus LS600h in for some tires.this thing had a full A.C. body kit with 22 inch Auto Couture Lative's and we even lowered it for him.I guess I really can't b itch bout anything except the lack of customers.But I can only hope that things will all change in 2009.Best wishes to everyone in the new year

It started to die down after 2 hours and there was one last customer waiting, she was waiting for lady on table 3. The lady on table 5 walks up to the customer and started luring the her into letting lady 5 do her nails. The customer agrees and next thing you know lady 3 walks up to lady 5 and they argue in vietnamese saying that, this isn't right what you are doing and that if a customer is waiting for her then let her wait. lady 3 starts crying and now all the customers in the salon start to talk about how unprofessional it is for employees in a salon to argue with each other.

I get up and I ask lady 3 to get out and I don't want to see her here anymore. Then she does a desperate move and starts swinging at the lady 5 and get 1 hit and I jump in between the two and I grab lady 3 and dragged her out of my shop. I emptied her table into a bag and told her to leave.

after this holiday I gotta get my sleeping bag ready for work.
lol, typical when there is a rush of customers. at my shop, we all are family... so that means everyone rather sit around and chill out. I didn't get to eat till after 6pm on new years eve! but you know how it goes when the holidays come around, basically the only time we can make real $$$.

hopefully 09 is better, 08 was a mess when the economy hit come. for us it was half way before the clients realized, "oh **** i need to stop spending" but they are paid on salary... im on commission. lol

I have an insurance company. we offer all kinds of insurance, auto, life & health, homeowners, renters flood and commercial. my hours vary from day to day. but the best part is i have no boss and i love helping customers save $$$

Nice way to know more about you guys. I'm the IT director at an outdoor/hunting company in SFL. Pretty busy most of the time, but I love this field.

this lady ******ed the hell outta me today at work because we charged her prescription the full price ($75). but it wasnt our fault because she didnt bring her insurance card. and she had the nerve to blame ME! " Stupid *** chinese boy!" (she yelled that out loud..im viet..)

needless to say she brought her insurance card and everything was fixed.
