I just took my pee test for a high profile car dealership in my city, and I essentially have the job (I haven't smoked in weeks and I know for a fact I'm clean)
Let me start off by saying 2011 has been probably the worst year of my 23 year life. Both my grandmothers died this past year, and I traveled to attend both their funerals. It's been incredibly stressful and hard not to toke during these times, because I know I have to get a job and make some money.
My father's business that he owned and made a wonderful living at for 30 years, is on the brink of bankruptcy, and of no fault of his own.. its just a result of the economy and housing market. Essentially, my family is broke, so in my time of need, I have not been able to turn to them for help... other than shelter (my old bedroom).
Ive been working retail the past 3 years... I finally got sick of the long hours, zero benefits, and terrible pay. I busted my ass for years, played by the rules and had nothing to show for it. I finally quit in March of this year, determined to better my situation.
Since then, I've literally applied to 60+ businesses for employment, 90% of them didnt even call me back, despite my efforts to call them back.
I was literally giving my friends short rides to work for bong tokes to stay sane. I was digging in the couch and searching parking lots for change to Coinstar so I could buy a few packs of ramen... I had to share the food to feed my poor dog.
And now? I'll be making 3-4x as much money, working the same amount of hours. Doing something I truely enjoy. That's living the dream isnt it? I have unlimited earning potential... I'm used to $7.65 an hour, and I can potentially make over 10k a month... I cant even fathom that.
For the first time in years, I am truely happy, and have something legitimately exciting to look forward to. I have a career to look forward to.
I guess, the point of all this is... really, never give up on what you REALLY wanna do. I wanted to give up so many fucking times. I cant even tell you. I lost all hope, seriously. I assumed I was resigned to a torturous life of retail... but just when things seem the worst... something will come out of nowhere and lift you up.
I dunno guys, Im probably a little delirious, I'm just so happy.
PS, cant WAIT to toke... as soon I get my first paycheck, I'm getting the fattest sack I can buy. Haven't properly blazed for a couple months!!
