I'm sure few if any will care, but I finally got a job after being out of work for the past 2 years, and just felt like anouncing it:jointsmile:. I got the job at the A&W just down the street, said I'd work for no less than $9.50, so they gave me $10.00! Plus I get full medical and dental benefits. Only working part time to see how much I can handle pain-wise, but I'm pretty sure as long as I keep taking crap-loads of painkillers just for my shifts I can keep at it. lol, though I'll have to hide my nerve-damaged spine well since I was hired on the premise of having no medical conditions, they just won't hire you if you tell them that (in my experience).
So wish me luck that my spine doesn't crap out on me and I can finally move out please!
Have a great day guys and gals, I'm off to my first shift pretty soon. :hippy::rastasmoke:

Congrats $10.00 seems like a lot per hour just for working in A&W (No offence) and for a part time job aswell but im not sure what its like there.
Whats the minimum wage in that country?

There's no national minimum wage, but the NDP is pushing for a $10.00 an hour one. Here in BC it's $8.00 an hour, and the fast food places are having trouble recruiting because of their shit wages, hence they've been increasing it a bit. And the medical benefits are just awsome, my meds cost $160 a month as is. 10 bucks, that's the evils of Canadian socialism for you:D

well congratulations mate, i hope you enjoy your job and hope you back hold out. And remember laughter is the best medicine. Sorry, i mean, GANJA is the best medicine :D
I on the other hand just lost my job. I was drunk and having sex when i should've been at work. At least i can look back and think, yes, good times... hahaha.
The only good thing about getting sacked is that they said i could work for a week, cause they have to give you a weeks notice. I said i needed the money, so i'd do the work, and my boss was like "well actually, i don't want you here, so you can be paid for the week, but you don't have to come in", haha, sweet....

Well I should have seen this coming. I took 600mg Ibeprophen, 500mg acetaminophen, some pregabalin, and 150mg Tramadol. After only a 4 hour shift my back was in the most immense fucking pain, so I don't see how I could carry out a longer one. So I'm gonna have to quit.
Shows what I get for believing I don't have to be a worthless fucking cripple:mad:
