How much is it?

Unsure but you have to have some form of satellite or cable in the first place. The sat ones like to start at some low rate and then jack it up to $60+ a month.

And I live in the middle of nowhere so I can't get cable.

The customers are mostly nice, and my best sales so far have been with genuinely fun people. Still need to find out what my sales goals are and what commission is, though. It won't be anything substantial, since I'm also paid hourly, but it'd be nice to know.

I also need more comfortable shoes. And to get adjusted to more activity after spending the past couple of months sitting around doing nothing. My calves hurt from running up and down the stairs in the stockroom.

And moar clothes. For some reason, they don't want me wearing jeans and video game t-shirts on the job. :wacko:

How are things going in the life of Drageuth?

Sounds like a decent job, then. Commission on jobs where you also receive an hourly rate is usually pretty low, but it's still something. It's nice to be rewarded for hard work sometimes, and establishing a customer base. If you're on your feet all day, though, you're definitely going to want to grab some comfortable shoes. I wonder where you could go to buy those... :whistle:

And life for me has been... pretty bland, honestly. Been playing a lot of video games, which is kind of nice. Found out I'm not gonna get fucked over by family maintenance (who are going to be handling child support payments to my ex from now on), so that's pretty sweet. My child support payments is actually going down by $13 a month to $267, instead of the $280 I've been paying and the $320 that she wants. Beyond that... just taking it easy waiting on my surgery and spending Father's Day alone. :(

Also, eating lots of pasta. Because pasta. :drool:

Like I said, I'm certainly not expecting anything fantastic, but it would be nice to have a rough idea how much I can expect at the end of a day. Even a tiny bit extra can make a difference when it comes to needing to buy food, or having a little bit to set aside for a new game or something. We also get a few bucks cash whenever we get someone signed up for a credit account, but I haven't had any luck with that yet.

There are tons of shoes I'm already in love with, but unfortunately none that would be work appropriate. I have some shoes I bought for nursing school, but since they're white, they don't match anything I would wear to work. There are some super comfortably shoes at work, but even with my discount they're expensive, and the higher end brands are usually excluding from any sales or coupons that may be running. Plus, I only get paid every two weeks, and my first check is only going to be for about 29 hours, only 12 or so of which were spent on the sales floor.

Today's the first day I've played anything for about four or five days, it feels like it's been forever. :wacko:

You just need to do what happened with my parents. Have another kid with her, have one live with her and one with you, then call it even when it comes to child support. My dad paid every month when my sister and I lived with my mom, but then I moved down here when I was 12 or so, and that was the end of that.

Happy Father's Day, then~ :x Even though I always thought it was super weird to send wishes to people who aren't actually related to me on such days.

Bleh, pasta.

Father's day and Mother's day are just corporate holidays anyway. It's all a scheme! :wacko:

Pasta is simple and easy. I don't actually enjoy it too much, but when I can make a filling meal for like... $3, I'm a happy camper.

And yeah... I'm not having another kid with her. :P That just seems like a recipe for disaster.
Did... did they do this after they had already split up? :doink:

*tries unplugging and replugging wireless adapter again*

If that doesn't work, I give up on trying to get the desktop back online for now.

It's nice getting something from your kid, though. Besides, if some of these corporate holidays didn't exist (Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, etc), some people wouldn't ever acknowledge certain people in their lives.
My son made me a gift at daycare.
It's a paper fish with glitter on it.

Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason I ever eat pasta, too. And since I'm used to being a poor kid, I'm kind of permanently sick of pasta. :wacko:

Of course not, my sister and I are about four and a half years apart, and my parents separated when I was around seven or so.

Yeah, we had a lot of pasta growing up. Not because we were "poor," per se, just because my parents were frugal.
And I'm actually relieved by that statement. I don't know why, but for some reason it just... totally seemed plausible.

Well, I ended up with a ton of step- family members and a bunch of half-siblings that I generally loathe instead, with the exception of my half-brother.

Yeah, that's totally not much better. Also, we're like... twelve posts overdue now for a new Hang Out.
Who's gonna do the honours?

Such an odd coincidence. I happen to like all my step and half family members.

Aside from my half brother.

Let's just say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Let's just keep this one going to 5K.

I'm in favor of that.

Plus 5000 is a much cooler number than 4000.

Or 4015.

I was thinking about it, but then nothing clever came to mind.

It'd be so much easier if fathers day/mothers day actually had consistent international dates. I'd like that.

I would, but I don't have enough associations with the man.

I can state that I won't be closing this one.

I can't say anything for the other 8 bajillion mods we have.

Yes, bajillion.

There's a whole planet out there of EP mods.

It's a scary, scary place.

Mothers day here falls within a few days of my Mothers birthday and fathers day falls within a few days of my Father's Birthday which is handy.

Not that any care was given to Mothers or Fathers day here.
