I finally got a job, a good solid job that takes into consideration that I still want to be a big part of my family's day to day. It's not a glamorous job nor is it a well paying job, but at least it has a good bit of fun history behind it.
It's a food truck that got it's start on Shark Tank, that show that comes on TV. It's called Cousins Fresh Maine Lobster. That's right, you heard me. It's a Food Truck that sells Lobster. It was picked up by Barbra from Shark Tank. The gimmick, if you can call it that, is every morning a friend of the founders family catches the lobsters and sends it out same day mail to the Cousins in California. The same goes for their Bread products. So they are authentic Maine products shipped across the USA, where they're served to the masses. It was founded in LA in 2012 and in the first 2 years they made over 3 million dollars. That was from one truck. Now they are franchising out across the USA in different parts of the country.

One of my favorite parts about this job is, even though they made the 3 million dollars in the first couple years, they didn't just pocket it. They founded a charity in conjunction with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, which is a charity I care a great deal about. I use to give back to the community more, before financial troubles and my little girl was born. I predict that by the end of the year Jailbird will be back on her feet and we'll be doing better financially. Jailbird will still have to take commissions for rent, as I said the pay for my job isn't that stellar and I'm not up for a pay raise until after 3 months. I want to honest about that upfront.
So again, thank you for being so wonderful during all of this. We have a tentative plan in place for getting everything back on track. First catch up on immediate bills, second get through a month with having all the bills paid so we can stockpile a little money. Third we will start getting refunds out to everyone that need them. All the while Jailbird will be working every moment that she can with the exception that she might take one day off a week to spend with me. Times like this we still have to come together to help keep our relationship strong.
Thanks again and we love you all.
