i might have to sell my rims, a few of my beloved Foambs, and maybe my tv just to knock this out so i can start working.

keep me vibed up fambs...
Yo fam, hope you'll pull through and everything. Prayers and good vibes are sent to you and everybody on here.

MY UPDATE:

For the job I wanted, I didn't get it, because I lacked "experience" compared to another candidate. Then all of a sudden two days ago, I see the same job reposted as an opening and I'm like %$%?

Had five interviews, still no clutch on the four that responded already (waiting for one more to see if I get a round 2 interview spot

).
Either way, just applying what I can I guess

Something that always helps me get through my day is remembering that my situation could be worse, and if it really can't get any worse, it can only get better.

take a couple minutes to assess the sitiuation and how to do it as efficiently as possible...

Really down with my job the past few months. Working hard to reduce paper-loss in our company. Feeling unappreciated and underpaid while trying to do a thankless job. Get word that my yearly review is coming up right when the company posted a loss for the year.
...and end up not getting a raise, but a substantial bonus (15% of my annual pay) for the work I had done over the year. I set a company record for lowest shrink through 1 year across all locations.

Just makes me committed to continue working hard even when you think no one is watching/paying attention.
 
Bumping this up for those that needed a bit of a lift during the 4th of July weekend.

Updates:

I just recently interviewed at this one company and I really like it. I'm really hoping they don't start me on a lower salary

... however if they really need someone to take more supervisory/adminstrative duties (and I've already expressed willingness to do so). Hopefully I can use this as leverage for a discussion on starting a bit higher, after my final interview today (I'm very certain that I'll be getting the job, since my referral told me both managers were extremely happy with my interview proceedings).

On top of that, I think I'll finally be on my way to making a substantial dent to paying off my loans. And, I am focused to make my side projects come into a reality. Just gotta grind even more and figure out other ways to become more financially stable.

So stay strong NT fam and keep positive as best you can. Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th. I'll be in the COD: MW3; PS3 lobbies if anyone is interested in running a game sometime this afternoon or toward the weekend. Peace.
 
as dumb as it sounds, I been at the bottom so everyday I wake up is a good day and a time to improve if that makes sense
 
" come on ricky409" lol

j/p fambs. i feel you and have to do the same
 
Ok so I'm 21 and I have no College degree so yeah it's pretty hard to find jobs, school isnt for me though....One day I was out with one of my friends and her mom just so happens to be the principal of a elementary school. I have some experience working with kids in a After School program so I'm like tell your mom to hook me up with a job. I did not think that she would actually would do it. 2 months later(now) i got a job as a teacher's assistant starting in August. Full-Time and Great benefits. Don't be afraid to ask for hook-ups or to tell people your looking for a job. You gotta get out there and net work, majority of the time it's about who you know anyway.
 
Positivity = Key to a great life IMO

I hope everybody had a great 4th of July! It was the first time I got to see fireworks at Navy Pier and it was cool!





 
Thanks Kmante! I'm excited! I start August 16th officially!

This needs a BUMP.....too much negativity in this world today, and you will go crazy and get depressed thinking about it.

Don't forget, unforeseen occurrences befall us all but we still have reasons everyday to be happy! Complaining doesn't get you far and it doesn't change your situation.Everyone just try to think of things to be grateful for. The fact that you have a roof over your head, or that you can eat something everyday, that you have a job, a car, money(although it may be little), a wife, a girlfriend, a mom who loves you, a dad who loves you, friends that are always there for you! My brothers, there are many things that we have that other people may have.

Welp, thats all I have to say. Enjoy your day fellas.
