it's great that you like your new job DA!! sounds like a great place to work!

Merika · 04-30-2006, 12:15 PM

It all sounds just great DA! I'm so happy for you in every way! You've worked hard thru school and now it's time for you to enjoy a few financial rewards from all that. I bet in the near future you'll be seeing your personal life making many changes as well. (Mom's know these things...

And you should! Enjoy yourself! One day you'll be married with kids and spending money on yourself will only be a fond memory. 8)

yeah, depending on how big my paycheck on monday is, that will determine what i get first, probably a high def TV/monitor.

Typical Boy Toy!

Do you know how to drive a boat? That would be great to have in OK and explore all the lakes and rivers.

darkangelism · 05-04-2006, 08:36 PM

that would be cool, but i dont know how to drive a boat or swim, and i dont have a truck to tow the boat.

You can't swim? Were there no compulsory swimming lessons in the US, when you were in (elementary) school?

Funny never thought of that.

darkangelism · 05-06-2006, 12:56 AM

nope, i did take swimming lessons and i could make myself swim if i had to, but its not something im good at.

i get my first paycheck on monday, then most of it goes to student loans, which are gonna make me feel poor.

Nothing like the feeling of having done a great job and getting that first paycheck in your hands!

darkangelism · 05-06-2006, 08:48 PM

yeah, it should be good, getting money is always a good thing.

Luba · 05-07-2006, 10:18 AM

Now that you've got your first week in; are you excited about going in tomorrow, DA?

2nd week already? Where have I been? :roll: What are the live calls all about...what will you be doing...I probably missed that explanation as well :roll:

darkangelism · 05-07-2006, 07:14 PM

I do phone tech support for business customers on servers, i have to try and fix the problem and possibly send out parts.

Oddly enough, after Pearl Harbor with so many sailors just drowning because they couldn't swim, the Navy started making swimming lessons mandatory. They are not mandatory in the school system.

Most people's swimming capabilites will depend on where they live in the USA. Coastal states are big swimmers....those in the middle often are not. Some northern states don't have weather that makes it financially worth it to own a family pool.

Weiser · 05-10-2006, 02:09 PM

my dad taught me how to swim by throwing me into the deep end of a pool lol

Star · 05-10-2006, 09:40 PM

I learned how to swim on my own. just by watching other swimmers. i was about 10ish or so when i finally learned how to swim.
