Kick in the groin
So i was starting to get happy thinking i would have the 900 back on the road soon. Turns out that is not the case. After crunching the numbers several times i simply cant afford it unless i get another fulltime job. It's not that i have alot of bills but the fact that my job simply doesnt pay enough to live off of. I was hoping to get hired on by the state (hense a payraise) but me and my buddy went and interviewed for the job (they had about 100 openings) and hes already got hired on and i havent heard anything yet. If i dont hear anything by friday im going to look for a 2nd fulltime job plus a new one b/c i cant stand the current job im at. After i pay what few bills i have i might have 40 bucks left over to last me 2 weeks, i try to stick it back and save it but it winds up going towards more gas or food at the house. if anything were to happen to my truck right now id be so screwed (knocks on wood). I just think its sad that i work my butt off and cant make it so i have to have 2 fulltime jobs, and the economy is only going to get tougher, if it gets much tougher ill have to sell Matilda.

You could always join the Army. The economic issues havent affected me at all.

classic: im a Correctional Officer, people love for lawbreakers to go to jail, but they dont love to have to pay the people to keep them there. i work for a private jail and thats part of the problem. the jailers at the county here make 12.95 an hour where we make 9.10 an hour. I cant go to work at the County here b/c my moms captain and i would be reporting straight to her.

makes you feel any better man i got into a wreck with my 900 september of 2007 well it's been alittle over a year now and she still sits in my garage because my job sucks and cut a bunch of hours due to them spending too much money remodeling the restaurant. so i've been working my *** off trying to find a new job so i can fix her and the sad thing is i am paying off something i can't ride.
