Erin's Ridin Dirty

So Erin has a motor bike to get her around, just needs to get it into her name. I am working like crazy now. 9 hour shifts on ones butt are pretty boring, but at least I get to talk about dogs and look at puppy pics all throughout. The people I work with are all rather cool too. Though some are leaving, thus the reason for new hires. When it comes to a sales job, you see a lot of rotation when it comes to employees.

So when moving down south I got a ticket for not moving over a lane when passing an emergency vehicle while going through GA. We had already been driving 10 hours, were almost there, and totally out of it. So we didn't even think to move lanes. Anyways, I finally looked up the ticket to see how much it will cost. It will be over $300. I am so happy I found a job right away *facepalm* My first check comes this Friday, though since it is an active check (as in no direct deposit) I guess I wont get it until monday unless they have them ready tomorrow. *sigh* I made $500 my first week though which is a great start.

Erin and I will be celebrating Christmas with each other and two other friends we know down here that also have families in other states that they can't visit. We are going to do a christmas dinner and not sure what else yet. We actually have presents under the tree thanks to everyone who sent some. Yay for a non-empty christmas morning!

Overall the weather has been great. Erin is already working on 2 potential jobs besides Ballys, things are really coming along!

Well, thats about it for now!

Job Epicness!

So my first real day was Tuesday and I made my first sale! Then yesterday, I was getting no sales, and it was about time for my shift to end. Everyone was having trouble so to encourage sales the managers offered double commissions on the next 2 sales. Well I totally got one in time! And not only was it a simple 1 dog sale, this guy bought 2 for his two sons! So I made a double sale with double commission! So I made $400 freakin dollars in one call! I am sooo happy!

As for other updates, other than work there hasn't been too much else going on. We have just been unpacking and Erin has been meeting with the managers of the two closest Bally's to find a place to work. She is also hunting for bartending jobs right now as well. The puppy is all better and wiggly as ever. Been meeting new people, went to a comedy show because someone we know scored some free tickets, and have been to walk on the beach again.

I just got in my dive gear so I am already plotting dives once money officially starts coming in and I get a better idea of how sales will go in the long run. Erin is in total love with the fluffy kitties and they are getting more spoiled then ever.

So yea updating every day doesn't seem as feasible as I hoped. Just tend to crash early after work. But I will try to update as often as I can. Miss everyone!

New Job!

So I officially have a new job! I start tomorrow at 9am! After that I go to pick up Erin and begin the first of many trips to bring her stuff to our new place. The new job will be working for The Breeder Network. An online dog website where breeders can sell their dogs. People put in their info to request information and my job is to call and interview them. I ask them about what kind of dog they are looking for, what their life is like, income and household situation, so on and so forth. This way I can make sure they can supply a good home, and also match them up with a dog if they are in a good suitable situation. Then if it all goes well I transfer them to the Breed Specialist and they get things finalized. It will be a commission type job but with a great base pay even if I don't make good enough commissions for the week. It will be full time with benefits. It sounds like it will be fun, I get to talk to dog lovers all day! lol Plus after 90 days I am eligible for paid vacation. So I could come visit Cincy and not worry about losing money! haha.

Last night I went out with my friend Brenda and we celebrated. Went to the Blue Martini for ladies night so she could get a cheap drink, then went to the Original Fat Cats to listen to a Reggae band play that she knew and shot pool. It was a fun night!

Today poor Aestyn is sick after getting into the trash yesterday. Its coming out of both ends. Its a good thing I got a job because I had to take her to the vet and it wasn't a cheap visit. Now I have her barricaded in the kitchen where its tile in case she has any accidents. Poor thing. :-(

Well that is the latest for now!

Update! I have internet! Sort of...

Sorry I haven't been on top of this. But without my own internet it has been a little hard. Now I have internet, but not wireless, and the cord is short and not at all by the couch, so it is still annoying. But at least its reliable. Anyways, here is the latest!

I had 2 interviews on Monday and another tomorrow. I still haven't heard back from anyone from the interviews on Friday or Monday but it is tradition to wait a week. I have another tomorrow as well. So its going!

I have been spending time as well going to the dog park with Aestyn. Its barely 5 min away and she loves it there. I met a girl there wearing a Skyline shirt and it turns out she is from Cincinnati and moved here in July. Her Uncle owns one of the skylines here, so that answers how they got here! She and I are going to get skyline sometime hopefully.

Today I am hopefully going to meet up with my friend Brenda who was helping us house hunt. We are going to go to the dog park again together. The cats are situating well and Aestyn is getting used to being in an apartment complex. The only annoying thing I have found is that there has been road construction on our street. Luckily I have been waking up early as it is.

Anyone who wants my new address just e-mail/call/or text me. Erin and I would both love mail!

Speaking of which, Erin is officially getting here on Friday at around 5. ShaBam!

Well that is all for now! Hopefully I will get the router in soon. They were out and will have to ship it. LAME
