As mentioned yesterday, I finally got a job at one of the limo companies I've been applying at since July.  Turns out they lost some management recently, which explains the lack of responses from my initial overtures.

Anyway, I went for the physical today and they wasted no time getting me started.  I begin training tomorrow and they'll get me on ( Read more... )

I am now the newest driver for one of Pittsburgh's premier limo companies.  

Time for another round of my original "Bark Twain"-style tweets and observations from the last few months.  Some might even have been made while sober :)

I spent only $17 on food last week.  Go me!  

I had mentioned in an earlier post how the parking lot I have been assigned to is a problem child.  The combination of the layout and the nature of the customers conspire to prevent any sort of control out of the chaos.  We've had our asses to us every single weekend during the 2am rush, and it's killing us.  As a result, I emailed one of my ( Read more... )
