Kung Fu teacher at work says I'm getting pretty close to moving up a rank.

I'm gonna train my ass off to finally move up! :up:

So I went to a job interview not knowing much about what I would be potentially doing, and came out a new employee. I'll be selling knives \o/. I get payed regardless of whether I sell or not, so I won't be stressed by it, I make as few or as many hours as I want, and it's really layed back. Plus 16.25/meeting+commission (which takes about 45 minutes, commission being 10% at start with an average sale of $250 each time and a max commission of 50%)? I think so.

After my attempt at commissions kinda tanking, someone just hired me to do illustrations for a book and I found that it will pay quite well! Hopefully this week I'll being making a visit to another potential customer to get some shirt logos done for them. On top of the yard work I've been doing, I'll think I'll have a bit of money this summer~

Finally got confirmation that my application to retrain from my current job in the Army to a Civil Affairs Specialist under the Special Operations Command made it to the selection board that was held yesterday! :up:

Unfortunately... now I'm playing the waiting game to find out if I was selected or not :uhoh:

I'm getting a job at a restaurant and I'm nervous as fuck about it. I don't know what it is but ever since this past year I started developing nerve problems and absolutely HATE restaurants. I don't eat much at all because the nerves lead to some sort of eating disorder basically, and if I think about it too much eating the smallest thing in an enclosed environment like a restaurant makes me wanna puke...which I do most of the times after. I'm trying to snap out of that shit with this job. Basically this whole year was me torturing myself to overcome these fucking nerve problems that I started developing last year. I feel like a masochist.

Yeah you probably should stay away from that knife thing if it's Cutco. Had an encounter with them a few weeks ago, I think it's a few pages back.

And to continue the job thread here, I just got my first 'official' assignment as lecturer for this fall.

Technically I've been doing plenty of lecturing and independent teaching over the last 5 years, but this will be the first course with my name to it, and thus me being the one and only prof. ENGL 101B here I come |:>

But best of all, the schedule shouldn't interfere with me coming to AWA :dino:

Save the congratulations for next week when I [should/MUST] officially become a doctoral candidate, which I guess is a fancy enough title anyway. For now there's much work to do etc. :P

FINALLY got my last paycheck from my job x_X When I went to pick it up on Friday it was like "Um. lolololol, we searched and couldn't find it. Maybe we mailed it out to you :ying:"

Of course I moved 3 days after I quit so....yeah -_-

But it FINALLY showed in the mail :D Yay for being able to get some bills paid x]
And it looks like my unemployment will go through in the meantime :3
