10 an hour? Cashiers at HEB are scoring that much these days.

Uh, bonuses might be illegal in what you are doing if you aren't a licensed real estate agent.

I make zero an hour myself. However, I've been bringing home about $5k a month average this year.

Let's put it this way - you couldn't live off of $16/hr in Atlanta unless you had a room mate or two and ate Ramen noodles 3 meals per day. Accordingly, the wages are higher for most jobs. I remember seeing that a shift-worker at the gas station down the street started at $9/hr (according to the Help Wanted sign they had hanging in the window).

Lumpy - how many hours are you actually working per week?

$16/hour in Omahahole is pretty good, except that in the last year the costs of living are starting to skyrocket. With one job I make $36/hour and the home building makes me around an additional $5k a month. For a non-skilled, non-schooled moron, I think he is doing pretty well.

This week I put in 52.5 according to my timecard.

Last week I put in 24.5 in the 2 days I did work.

I've been working my ass off since cranberry season started. We are the #1 storage and shipping facility for Ocean Spray(amongst other goods, this being most prevalent this time of year) in the country. If you drink Cranberry juice, eat the cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving...I likely saw your source before you ate it or drank it.

Our west terminal was just painted by world famous "Wyland" http://www.wyland.com

It's his 93rd Whaling Wall. The detail on this building is fucking amazing. They'll likely be up on the site soon. (I will likely be on the site as well, I got interviewed by chance since I was the only employee in uniform during the dedication ceremony)

http://www.southcoasttoday.com/special/wyland/

That's one side of the building. Not my favorite...

Anyways, yeah....suck my dick. I'm still better than you Little Man.

I get bonuses for making sure files close on time. Nothing illegal about it. I also just negotiated an hourly bonus when the group does XX amount of commissions for the month.

You drive a forklift. You know, the job that is always held by the tubby guy at the plant. Let's not get confused as to what is really -work- here.


:wink:

Damit, lay off the guy, I don't wanna have Thanksgiving without cranberries.

Yeah but that kind of job pays off more than any dollar amount could if you really enjoy it.

You live in Atlanta though...obviously it's way different. His city isn't anything like Atlanta.

He makes close to what I make, and I live in a rich city...which is also in the south. When I go to Atlanta, I'm like, "wtf five bucks for a value meal??"
