Another update on Life
17 years ago
Well things have been changing a fair amount on my end of life, finally got myself a new job and quit working at that dead end restaurant job. Now, I'm working at Sonics Drive-In as a car hop. Started at $7.25 an hr, though I'm now up to $8 an hr and I've only been there for just about 3 weeks. I also got myself a $100 bonus as well for that matter! The reason I got such a nice bonus, is besides being a hard worker, I also got 100% on a secret shopper thingy that basically checks our place out for customer service and such. When we answer people waiting to order something to eat/drink/etc we tell them our name. That way the secret shoppers put our name on their report things.
Though, I failed to mention, that I got 100% on two of these secret shopper dealy things. Which, is a major thing to my bosses, since people usually get 90-94% on them. Getting 100% is sort of like someone digging in the ground striking gold. I mean, my bosses practically love me right now, one of them even told me that at my next evaluation, if I keep working the way I am now. I'll be getting a raise to $9 an hour.
So, overall, I'm just loving my new job, I get way better benefits for being such a hard worker and all. Plus the job is more fun, more to do then there was at the restaurant. Definitely better pay for that matter, in fact I forgot to mention that my best friend since just about 1st grade works at this place same as he. He worked so hard and the bosses loved him so much they made him an asst. manager within 9 months or so I think it was.
Hopefully if I keep working hard and such the way I am now, I can possibly get to be an Asst. Manager as well, which would be pretty damned sweet. Though for now I'm content to work as a car hop, since about half the time we take an order out, we get a $.50 to a few dollar tip from the customers. So I usually make maybe around $25-$30 in tips a day, which helps to cover food I buy for lunch as well as gas. ^..^
Me and my brother are also thinking of moving to a better apartment sometime, not sure as to when though. Since we're not doing any apartment hunting, but hell, I'm content for now since I love my new job to bits virtually.
Only downside I've found so far, is when it rains rather hard, since rain, snow or shine, we still take orders out to the customers. So I've gotten soaked in rain a few times, plus do you know how hard as hell it is to skate across wet concrete? ^..^;;
Oh, last thing, another reason I love this job is the boss is rather laid back as well, plus I'm working with my best friend whose an Asst. Manager as I said and all. So makes for a rather fun place to work, more people around my age for that matter then there were at the restaurant. XD
Well, thats about it for now I think, nothing else really to add to my update on life and such. ^..^ All in all, I'm very, very cheerful and feel more vibrant now that I've actually got money coming in that I can actually save. As well as a brighter future far as work goes and what not. XD
Oh, one last thing, my boss, Joey, also told me that he'd never seen a noobie do as good as I had in the first three weeks of employment, so that also really helped make me real happy. XD
