I have to say im pretty excited, in my current job i haven't received a raise in almost 2 and a half year's ive been bummed about that. Also i had a little boy he's 17 months now..so the bills were piling up i had to sell my 87Blue T bare metal resto almost gave it away but with the addition of my son it needed to go. With this country and its failing economy i didn't care about not getting a raise, just happy to have a job, never complained but with inflation being at 3.2% Trust me i was feeling it.... i have been applying everywhere, and today finally got a call from an employer which i interviewed a couple weeks ago and she offered me 8% more than what i currently make + my car is almost done ive been buying a few things here n there with some money ive been making on the side (working Sat's n Sun) i saved a bit hopefully this new job will be a great late start for me in 2012!! And my car being done is a good feeling and its almost Friday so this is a good day for me so far!
