Ya ..yes a 2nd job to feed the need

Going to be wiped out for awhile...but until the goodies are puchased...working this 2nd job with 20 hours part time.

$700/month should be able to get me my goodies quick....

what should I get first?......

headers
springs
rims
body kit
brake kit (wilwood) - defenitly could use the rotors and brakes (shakin like a mutha)
etc etc etc etc

oh boy..........or better yet...a beater so I can stop putting so many miles on my car now...Sept.17th, 2001 ~42000 miles

just thought I would chat it up guys...getting bored at work...haha

Thanks..hahaha....been a member for quite some time now though. Before I told everyone at the reg. job that I wasn't going to stay after anymore I've been working the 40/wk. Before it was 60hrs easy. Of course I'm always on call for the escalated issues.

... One thing cool about this 2nd job is that I still have weekends off. Thank goodness. I would hated to work 7 days a week with no break.

When I was younger, I worked in the pizza business...

Used to leave school(as a junior) at 10 am & work 11>11pm flipping pies...4 days a week.

After school...60 hours was average week...usually a Tuesday or Thursday off only...sucked.

im confused...you have a regular job and got a second one? or you quit your first and have a part time for a while?

and also how do you work in the extra 20 without going on weekends? you work night hours on weekdays?

It helps more than you think! I worked a second job for 1.5 years (at Disney's California Adventure!) and made a little extra dough... it was nice. It wasn't really that I had a second job, but that all my time was taken up so I couldn't go out and spend money... not THAT 'saves' A LOT of money!!
I am working on another second job now... about $40/hr. doing some 3-D modeling stuff

i hope I can prevent myself from spending money during my 2nd job...haha...my 2nd job happens to be at Circuit City...it was a easy deal since I used to work there many moons ago...since they changed from commission to hourly...who cares if nobody comes in to buy stuff....and the employee discount speaks for itself...COST baby!..if there is one thing I missed about working there before, its the discount. for example..bought my H/K receiver for $500 when retail was $1300....of course I'm now thinking plasma...

Well, i'd definitely get the headers, then the wheels with better rubber and then springs with Konis and brakes.
