The Bwaves 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 This might sound a little bit ****-ish, and believe me that it's not intended to be at all, but do you think that maybe if you focused your free time spent posting here on maybe thinking up some ways to improve processes or even your own personal performance at your job that maybe you wouldn't have gotten passed up for that promotion? Obviously I don't know the conditions of your work environment but I do know that initiative goes a long way, especially when being considered for raises/promotions. Just a thought. I'd move back in with the 'rents if they'd let you stay for free and build up a BR to go crush a juicy game. Ignore your father as much as possible and keep the gambling away from your mom. Easy for me to say once again, because I know nothing about how serious it is/could be, but just an option to explore. I wish you the best of luck, I know how it is.Oh trust me I've thought long and hard. I've sat down plenty of times with the managers of this store and I guess age is a big issue. I mean they're literally asking me to train the managers with my knowledge!"Hey were going to be bringing someone in to be the parts manager and your going to need to show them the ropes and stuff so they can get the hang of it, mmmmm k?"Seriously I was going to slap her!This is what I heard:"Hey were bringing someone in who knows absolutely nothing! AND You're going to have to teach her how to be just as good as you. Oh and, your not getting a raise AND she will be making more money than you. On top of that your going to need to listen to every command she says because she's your manager"Dude, so dramatic. Now I commute to another store 30 minutes away just so I don't have to be **** on.Yeah the parents things is definitly an option it's just hard to go back to Mom's rules.Thanks for the response man everything is appreciated.

bear187 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Oh God, I definitely know what that's like. It's the same thing at my office, and pretty much the same situation. I've almost been here a year now, but I'm only 19, so of course I'm the one doing all the 'grunt' work (it's relatively simple for me, but it's complicated to the other people). I just recently got my own place too, so I can definitely relate with the mom's rules stuff too. It'd only be for a month or two though until you could BR yourself up to something more managable.

Flushgarden 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Go to college. Pick a useful major that will get you a good job right out of school. Maybe be a nurse. RNs make at least $30 an hour to start in most places. There are a lot of male nurses these days too.Play poker for fun, not for a living. Link to post Share on other sites

I've thought about doing it myself, but I decided to go to pharmacy school. It takes longer, but the money is even better when you start. Link to post Share on other sites

Many of my friends are Filipino and you can guess what professions they all chose.How much are you paying for your schooling?all us San Diego boys have to get together and get a game going.ANYTIME ricker.

I'm also taking a Pharm Tech course, so I'll be able to work in a pharmacy in a few months while I'm in school. School will be expensive in the next few years, but it will be worth it. Pharmacists start at at least $100k/year. Link to post Share on other sites

NOFX_PUNK 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Play 3 tables of the $50 max at once, have them push the tables up close to each other and play smash. You will win millions. In fact, why not just TPTP/MM? Link to post Share on other sites
BreadWinner 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I dont mean to be rude but if you have been somewhere for 3yrs and are only making $10hr there is a problem. You should definaetly be looking for other employment. Link to post Share on other sites
