Thought i'd take a break from posting coded messages and say something that everyone can read.

Due in large part to stuborness and determination, and battling certain people, I now have a paying job at a company that I like. How many people here can say they like their jobs?

The ONLY downside to my job is the 26 mile commute (both ways so thats 52 miles a day)

I soon plan on purchasing a car to compensate for this problem. I hear that small, 4 cylinder engine vehicles are good on gas.

Apart from the commute, my job is nice. I repair computers... AND the place is laid back, casual dress, informal, all that really matters is you get the work done. Plus they have computer parts that they either give away free or sell to employees for really cheap (several years old computer parts) I got a dual socket 370 motherboard for only $25.00 (they go for at least $40.00 on the internet)

Another plus which I don't brag about cos that might make my coworkers unhappy is that because I'm A+ certified, I get paid $2.00 more an hour then my coworkers

Good for you! Sounds like you have found work you really enjoy and that's a big accomplishment. BONUS on the computer parts, eh?

My husband does the same type work and we have several systems he has built from free/cheap parts. We have 5 working systems in the house now and when he gets enough parts, he builds a system and sells it for a few extra $$.

I can say I truly like my job. I really makes life so much easier, doesn't it?

Great news!
