1. We've got about 1/2 inch of snow here in Central Pa. Sigh. I"ve

got to go to work at 8. But it could have been worse. Main roads will probably be fine by 8!

[BlondieK143]

2. Be careful!!

And try not to work too hard! :D

3. GOOOOOOOD MORNING!!!

OMG it's YOU!!!!!!

How ya been? :hug:

In about a half hour I leave for my job, gotta catch 2 buses in the pitch black, freezing cold but it is worth it.

[BlondieK143]

4. lol, yeah, it's me.

I've been good, just super super busy. :hug:

How about you? Where ya working at?

[Champ]

6. That's good

Sorry, you just popped up unexpedictedly since I haven't seen you in so long.

I've been real good. I work at GFS which process rebate forms for their clients such as Best Buy, Sony, HP, etc. My primary function, what I do, is type data from hand written rebate forms into a PC. For the time I was looking for a job I was looking a job that paid $1,000+ a month(Mine pays $1,088 in 22 days per 4 weeks), decent benefits(Mine has Health and Life Insurance Plan, FMLA(thanks Clinton), Holiday Pay, 40 hours of pay after 1,050 straight hours, 401(k), stock plans), and an ideal schedule - I don't like to work evenings or nights for some apparent reason(My shift is 7:30A-1:30P, Monday-Friday(2 Saturday's a month))

So as you can see I like the job, probaly my favorite thing is 1:30 rolls around and I'm done with work for the day. It's $8.25 an hour, after my 90 day "probation" period I get bumped to $9.00 p/h. So what've you been up too?

[BlondieK143]

8. That's really good!

Congrats on the job, and I'm glad you enjoy doing it! How's the girlfriend doing?

Other than working two jobs, I haven't been up to too much. I go out occasionally but I've just been more laid back recently. :)

11. Thank you

I completed the training, today is my first day actually out there keying forms. I'm more then confident I can handle it. It is really the best job I could find with a GED and no real work experience or skills. Relatively fast typing skills and some PC software knowledge was it.

The 2 job thing must be tough, a friend over there said he worked there from 6:30-12:30, got off for 3 hours. In that time he took a class at ASU, then goes to work as a supervisor for 12 hours at another job. Doesn't drink coffee, just comes in with a mountain dew. Good luck with it and hopefully you land a job that doesn't require having another.

[BlondieK143]

13. Good luck!

I'm sure you'll do just fine.

:) My first job really doesn't require that I work another. I make $10.20 an hour, but with rent, car payment, insurance, and a cell phone bill, I'm trying to save up money to go to college in the fall. Plus, my second job is as a server and I looove people so it works out good.

And from an experienced MD freak, it's as good as coffee. :D

17. Thanks

Oh I see, well good luck with it all anyways. Glad you love your 2nd job, I like to see people getting paid for something they enjoy doing. Well I gotta head out the door so I don't miss the bus. See ya soon! :pals:

[BlondieK143]

18. See ya!

Good luck! :hug:

5. Gooood Morning from Arizona!

Our temperature has been in the 60s/70s, sunny and beautiful. We got plenty of snow up in the mountains. The ski slopes will be packed.

It's early in AZ but I can't sleep. We're working on a house project and the mess drives me crazy.

Have a wonderful day.

[BlondieK143]

9. Oh wow, you suck!

It's like 14 here!

Good luck on the house project and go snowboarding for me! :D

[readmylips]

15. Are you nutz! Snowboarding at my age...

I can barely get my skis to work. I hate John Kerry, he can do all those fun sports and look good.

We are going skiing for the weekend and hell with my house project.

Wanna come with us?

[BlondieK143]

16. At your age??

And that's what... 20? :)

Heck yeah I wanna go! Just one prob, need a plane ticket from Tennessee to there. :D

7. Still haven't woken up

Despite the fact that it's nearly half past 12 here, and I've been at work for over 3 hours.

It's not too cold, but there this horrible fine rain outside - through which I will have to walk to get some lunch soon.

Good morning to all American DUers.

Good afternoon to all British and European DUers.

[BlondieK143]

10. Don't get too wet!

And have an especially enjoyable lunch! :D
