The job is fine. It's the $9/hr part that I dislike. "living paycheck to paycheck" is an understatement. Hard to support a family.

 

Indeed it is! Modding the Blazer has turned into maintenance to keep her running. I get 9.30/hr, but my 30-44 hours of overtime is where this job is okay. If we go back to 40...BLAH! If I get full time there instead of temp pay goes to mid 11s/hr.

 

I'm a student but I work for my father at his metal fabrication shop.
We do everything from fancy gates and fences to car restoration/customization.
It comes in handy when my blazer needs something.

 

I work at a grocery store, Winn Dixie for those who live in souther georgia and florida, it's alright... hard to save money working minimum wage

 

I work for the kroger distribution center (the grocery store kroger) $11.50 part time 40+ hours a week, over time is mandatory.

 

I'm a retired Toyota Senior Facilities Engineer/ Tooling Engineer/ Tooling Manager/Kaizan Manager. Too much work-not enough money. Thankfully had a rear tire blow out on Atlanta dragstrip at 170+ mph on a Honda VFR1000R causing forced retirement due to injuries. Painful but ended my mid-life crisis...and career. Happy now tinkering on my old Chevies.

i find it pretty cool that you worked for Toyota but keep all your chevy vehicles.

sorry to hear about the accident though, at least you're still here

 

Working took up too much of my time, so now I am full time retired. This forum has updated me about some of the new-fangled crap they now put on cars.

 

you said it brother.

 

x2. Some of that garbage is more harm than good. Chipped keys? That's a decent idea until they make the wrong key completely shut everything down. Just another way to make money...


I have an online store. I haven't updated occupation on my profile yet. I have good merchandise, and it's dirt cheap, but I can't get advertising, so I haven't sold anything at all for months. Months! It sucks.
