It finally happened. It took almost 4 months of consistant searching, but I had just recently snagged myself a job at a local restraunt as a busser.

Busser?

Congrats. Busser is the person that cleans the tables after costermers leave.

((Hey Rune174,

Can we call you "Garcon" now, and hold up our mug for new coffee?

Sorry, my... eclectic sense of humor found that really funny.

Anyway, you getting trained to be a waiter too, or just a busser?))

I work at a place called Jim's Restraunt.

What is a Garcon?

Its a tough job, but its a manageable position.

Artyom Derison · Joined: 04 Jul 2011 Posts: 1435

That cool.

I think that French for waiter or something like that.

Garçon is French for boy.It was adopted in English to refer a usually young male waiter or a low level employee at large or upscale establishments.In France calling a waiter Garçon is considered rude.

Even if it is meant as offensive, I'd just smile, bear it, and do my work. I'm hardly being paid to stand there and look pretty.

Hopefully I will reapply for a subscription again by the middle of September. This time, since its going to be on a More permanent basis, I will get the six month subscription since it will be cheaper anyways by at least ten dollars anyways.

Sorry, no subscription yet. I keep getting swamped by my payments for car repairs and the last increments of my credit card. Hopefully in a week or so, I will finally be paid by the VA for my chapter 35. They still owe me for August and September, and we are just about into august. with 955 a months (August will be half since school started on the 22). That should easily pay off my repairs and credit card, and with my job, I will be up again. I don't remember though if I get paid at the beginning or the end of the month so I still have october's check to look forward to.

At least you're getting paid. Part of my internship means not getting paid for the work I do, but it looks likely that I'll be hired on full-time after I graduate (in my last semester now).

Rune174 · Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 5288

That is good news on your part. Do you get paid hourly or by a salary?

I haven't bothered talking money yet, still have about 2 and a half months before I would graduate and get hired.

Rune174 · Joined: 29 May 2009 Posts: 5288

Oh, yeah, then money would be on the last bit of the agenda then.

It's an up and coming IT company. My job is pretty much going to be focused on pc diagnostics and repair, but that's sort of the entry-level job and over time I'll probably start working my way up.

Sounds like an interesting job, though your not getting paid? That's odd, because the internship I did this summer paid me. Not as much a normal employ of course, but still got some money.
