    Default Are you happy with your current situation?

    By that I mean, where you live, your job, etc? Anything you'd like to change and/or do better?

    Personally, I hate my current job. Its only part time while I go to school full time so its not a huge deal, but otherwise, its boring, repetitive, not challenging, and I'm not learning anything . Though the pay is decent, and I suppose being able to watch movies and sit on IA for a while can be considered a plus.

    Eh I work like 70-75 hours a week if the weather is good, my social life is minimal and Ive been single for about a year and a half destroying the girls...

    Its alright, theres some things I could change but just don't. However I don't believe in regrets because at one time it was what I wanted.

    I'm just so tired of being out of the scene that honestly that sounds really good to me. I want a different car every week thats why I said this week.LOL. I want to get into Auto-X and track days. I tried the whole show thing but I've kinda grown out of that and want to move towards performance but in my current vehicle lol, well let's just say it's not cost effective.

    Mine could be better... I made it hard for myself moving so much. My job... idk, txt support may be alright, but I KNOW it will be dull. I'm happy that I've managed to do this all myself though, but I'm not satisified. I'm still in the poverty income class ans struggling from time to time.

    Though I do wish I never left GA. I mean... I had 2 nice paying jobs (for me 10 an hour is nice) a place to live, 2 cars that ran etc. Now I have nothing really.

    But it can only get better.

    Exactly my stance. Only my pay is quite well considering the amount of bills I have (or don't have). Later, QD.

    well at the moment my life is actually heading in the direction i want it to go for the most part. My job is ok just boring but the people help out a lot. I have a great girlfriend that i am happy with things could be better but thats a given. A lot of my friends i used to hang with are moving back and in a matter of months. I should be moving into my first home fairly soon once my uncle stops gettin out bidded. After the house I may have a good hookup on two well paying jobs and traveling more. and hopefully buying another teg (my favorite car in my price range) and hopefully gettin my team back to the way we kinda envisioned things going at first. all in all so far so good.

    Its just taken a while to get there. i had a few rough moments with ****ty roomates, almost gettin fired, car being stolen, ect. but now Im getting back to where I wanted to be and completing goals. The only downside is im not so sure about the direction i want school to go. my gpa bombed thanks to some of the bad things a few years back (two jobs failing long term relationship friends dying) so im not sure if i want to stay at perimeter or go to gwinnett tech for a certification and then decide on perim or state.

    I am much better than I was 3 months ago. Recently landed a great job, at a great company, with great pay/benefits. I moved into a nice 1bdr apartment 3 minutes from my office; No more traffic EVER!!! No more complaints about gas either, lol.

    I am paying off my irresponsible bills, and saving to buy a house in a year. Also, I having the piece of mind now to start a small business in my spare time.

    Things are getting better everyday.

    I'm in debt up to my ears, having trouble getting back into school because GPC keeps f*cking up my transcript requests, and I've got a high car not due to an impulse buy on the Mustang. Yeah, I really wish things were better but it's my own fault for most of my own problems. *sigh*

    Im extremely happy.

    Being your own boss has its benefits, i make 5 times the money i was making working for someone else. I get treated right, i run everything the way i want to run it, the goals i wanted to accomplish in my first 6 months ive done it.

    im moving into a nice lakeside apartment August 1st thats a big step up from where i am now.

    Family is good

    Girlfriend is great

    Stress is lower

    Life is good. Hopefully ill meet my year end goals .

    I work two jobs and live with my girlfriend and a friend of mine. That was all good until recently. My roommate has this girl he was ''seeing'' staying with us because she got evicted and has no family here. He's been acting really sketchy and sht so I think I need to ask him to move out. Which isn't gonna be easy. One of my jobs sucks ass but I make good money for what it is, so I can't btch too much with the job market the way it is.

    Good luck with the child. If you need anything, we still have a lot of shiit from our two. Let me know. I'm the only breadwinner in the family, but not having a car note or a house note really is a big stress reliever. I love driving the rig and my job. All i do is drive to Greenville, SC and back to Atlanta Monday thru Friday and that's it. And get paid quite well to do so. I have my little restoration CVCC that I can actually afford to put together. I just hope life can stay this way until..... you know. I know my life will get much more stress-relieved in the next couple of years or so after it takes a turn for the worse, though. Later, QD.

    Thanks QD. We actually find out what we are having Wednesday. I am very excited. My life was already slowing down when I met my wife and now it all makes sense. I will deffinetly let you know.

    I make my own hours with my job. I am given a list of locations and I just have to have them done by the end of the month. I am given a company take home truck, fuel card, amx and a logding card if I need to stay out of town. Like I said, I make my own hours as long as I don't exeed 60 within a week (fvck DOT) so normally I work 3 to 4 days a week and have a long weekend. I have been off since thursday at 3pm.

    I make pretty good money. My rent is cheap (300 bucks). I would love to have a better job with more pay but with the job market as it is and the fact that I technically have a not so good record, Ill take what I can get.... I live in as house with my best friend and another guy but Ive been staying with my girlfriend here recently. She has twin girls that are almost 3 so thats a handful but besides for the shock of kids and not making more money, my life is pretty good.
    I'm just that guy that spends all his time printing.... T-shirts, banners, vinyl, etc.

    Whoa! Hold on a minute. Is it 70 hours just for drivers or 70 hours for everyone including drivers/manual labor? I am a bucket technician so I drive and work outside. I hope its not a company policy bc I would work every bit of 70 hours.

    I was always told by my supervisor that I wasn't allowed to exceed 60 hours bc of DOT regulations.
