First the good stuff...
I am getting my 2nd raise at work already.
I just got my promotion a few weeks ago, maybe it's been a month, I guess and my boss told me the other day that I'll be getting another raise on the next check. So, that's pretty cool. It means I'm one step closer to my goal of running my own store. The next step is learning more paperwork. After that, I'll become the assistant manager, which I think is actually considered the Senior Assistant Manager. It all sounds great, but the pay doesn't sound anywhere near what the title makes it sound. But, w/e I'm doing what I need to do to put myself and my family in a good situation.
Also, on the positive side of things. In my fantasy league, I won in both leagues and I'm in 3rd place in the Salary cap league. If you're interested in checking out our new and very unique system you can check out our blog at http://uffstl.blogspot.com/
. So, right now I'm in 1st place in the overall standings of the league.
Hopefully, I can maintain that and come out on top. I was the beneficiary of Willie Parker's 3 tds and Marion Barber's 2 tds.
I cant really think of anything else too good. My wife is currently a week late... she is very excited and hopeful that it means what it usually means. I am forcing her to wait a few days though before I pay an obscene amount of money for a pregnancy test. Keep your fingers crossed. I am excited about the chance, but I also know that the chance of miscarriage is pretty high and I know she will be devastated if that ends up happening. So, I'm also a little worried and would rather wait a few months before I get excited, if she is pregnant.
Now, as far as my car goes..
which means we've switched over to the negative side of life... last I heard the computer is messed up in it. I still haven't gotten the car from the shop, mainly because I'm worried that they are gonna charge me some money for repairs that did nothing to my car and also, because I don't know exactly what to do. I looked up the Edmunds value of my car and with the mileage and the condition of it, it's only worth about 1400$. So, I don't know if I should bring it back here and store it until I can afford a big repair or just junk it. I have AAA, so the tow would be free, but it will also use my 3rd tow out of the 4 I get and I've only had the membership for a few months. Which is kind of gay. I have to figure it all out today, though, it's not really fair for me to leave my car at this person's shop.
There's nothing too much really to complain about. Right now I'm struggling a little bit because of recent big expenses that haven't worked out.
But, with the few bills I do have it shouldn't be too long until I have some money again.

Dude, you cant even afford to take care of yourself, how are you going to support a baby??!!!!??!!?
sounds like things are looking up a little good job and good luck with the future
By the time a baby is born I will have a job making 3x as much as i have now and my wife will either be getting disability or working herself. So, yes right now it seems insane, but in 6-9 months things will be 100% different.
thanx leo.
so you're going to be making $30 an hour?
lol, sounds kind of sick like that... ill be working over 50 hours a week prolly, since that's what my boss does now. But Ill go from making 800-1000 a month now, to 2500-3200 a month then.
My boss told me that the current store, which is the worst store shes been a part of from a financial standpoint, she makes 32,000 from this one. But, the better the store does the more she makes (bonus checks) and so I could expect to make that as a minimum.
It's not quite 3x, but 2.5x is more like it. Right now i make 8.5 and would cap at 9. Driving I make about 10 after taxes, but doesn't count car repairs.
Also, my wife will be getting disability or working as well... now i dont know how much that would be for, but if it's 5-600 a month at least, then that makes my income over 3x.
It should be good to be me next year. I hope. Fingers crossed
