Thanksgiving

So, Thanksgiving is done.  That means Christmas is only 4 weeks away!  Ash’s car should be here right about Christmas-time.  What a cool Christmas gift!  At least I think so.  So, the family get together went pretty well.  I got to see Mr Stark, whom I havent seen in at least 20 years.  Amazing…

I am a little ticked at my sister though!  I work for a freaking car dealership, and she goes and buys a Hyundai Tucson!  What the hell!  She says “I got a much better deal then you were gonna give me.”  Yeah right…  

Had she bought a car from me, she gets my price, which is on average $1600 - $2000 under invoice!  How can you get a better deal than that!?  She says we weren’t giving her enough money for her trade, and I told her I could have done better had she stuck with me and given it a little time.  I don’t see what the hurry was.  Oh well, at least she gets a 10 year warranty and some gay juice box holders in the back seat.  Just for shits sake, I read Consumer Reports earlier and her car rated at the bottom of the scale for reliability, and the one she would have bought from me scored at the top.  That, and she got screwed at the car dealer, more than likely.  Serves her right for betraying me!

Ok, I am done bitching about that now.  I actually had two dinners today.  One with the family and one with Ash’s family.  I am freaking stuffed!  And tired!  I think I should go to bed soon…  in fact I will go now.  Night!

Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah, I'm Lovin' It!

So, I’m married now.  Pretty cool, huh?  I think so…

Ashley is everything I ever dreamed of, but she knows that.  I am not quite sure why I am even writing in this thing, since she’s reading it as I type.  It’s kinda tough, when you’re living in the same house, to make blog entries a surprise.  Oh well..

So yeah, married life is pretty cool.  I don’t FEEL any different, but now I have a WIFE.  Odd….

I don’t have anything to write about!  I’m done, see ya.

One More Day!

Dang!  It’s been days since I have written in here.  I have been dealing with some tumultuous times.  I was offered this job and that job and blah blah blah, so I finally just made a decision to stay where I was at a higher pay scale, etc..

Anyway, tomorrow is the big day!  Tomorrow’s the day that not only signifies a year that Ashley and I have been together, but also the day we’re getting married.  It’s eaier not to have to remember two dates.  At least that’s what she told me, which makes sense.  I’m super excited.  I look forward to making a family with Ash, and being the best husband and father a man can be.  I guess I learned from my Dad’s example, in that I want to be nothing like him so I am striving for the exact opposite.  Who knows?

Anyhow, I’ll update again tomorrow with some other stuff.  Later!

Work...again

Doesn’t it seem like I have been ranting about work a lot lately?  Maybe I should shut up and do something about it already.  It’s tough though…

I don’t like to piss people off, that’s the first thing.  So, while I am hard at work trying not to piss anyone off at Fiesta, I am pissing off the other guy who has a job opening for me.  One way or another, someone is gonna get screwed.  You know?  Ugh, I hate this!

This other job I have lined up sure looks good.  According to the VP of the place, I can make pretty good money, which is the thing.  He says that if I am half as good as I say I am, I’ll make $8,000 a month.  That’s awesome pay…

I think I’ve made a decision, I just need to find a way to tell Mark now.  This should be fun…. Wish me luck.

Damnit!

Fuck!  I am so extremely upset right now.  So I told Mark Soto that I wanted to leave Fiesta, because I got a $412 paycheck today.  And he has the balls and the audacity to tell me “You can’t leave, I’m not gonna let you.”  I mean, what the fuck!?  Isn’t this a free country?  This isn’t communist fucking Russia!  Ugh!

I am getting married in 8 days, and I cant afford to make that much money on a paycheck.  I have bills that I have to pay that are due NOW and there’s nothing I can do about that.  I guess I set my goals too high.  I wanted to be the perfect husband who works his tail off so that his wife could have the liberty of CHOOSING whether or not she wanted to work, and I cant even fucking do that.  It just drives me insane…

I just want to make money, is there something wrong with that?  So I call my Mom tonight and she tells me I am a prophet or something and I need to go before God and ask him what I should do, and try to make sure that whatever I do is according to His word.  Thanks a lot Mom, I appreciate the help.  I hate being the one to beg off people, I hate it more than anything ever.  I need a new job…

I feel like crying…. Fucking assholes!

Stupid work!

Ugh!  I don’t know what to do.  I hate this crap…

So I have a job offering from a good friend of mine (we wont mention names), and I am seriously considering it.  But, if I leave Ford, I lose my employee discounts too.  In other words, I pay normal retail like everyone else, and that sucks.  I want to get Ashley her Fusion, I just don’t know if I can wing another $400 a month payment because I gave up my discount.  

But, if I end up making more money, then I suppose it won’t be a problem.  But I just don’t know.  Nobody NEEDS a spa, barbecue, or pool table.  But, the good thing about it is that according to the owner of the place, they don’t get anyone in there with “roachy” credit.  Everyone there is a “baller” according to Cesar, and they just buy shit without thinking twice about it.  Sure that’s nice and all, but damn!

One thing I do hate about the car business is that I can put 2 or 3 hours into a car deal, and not make anything.  You know how?  Well, we’re specifically told not to prequalify anyone.  So, we work every deal like it is a real deal, and work everything out, and after I do the product presentation, the demo, ask for the sale, etc.. then I find out they have shitty credit and can’t buy.  They ask me to have this sort of “next!” attitude but it’s hard.  Either way, I hope I make the right decision…

I know what Ashley wants me to do….

It's the end of the world, as we know it! And I feel fine...

Is it me or does it seem to you too like the world is coming to an end?  So I wake up early this morning, and Ash is still asleep.  I decide to check out the news like I always do upon waking up at the Fox News site.  There’s nothing good there!  It talks about a deadly twister that killed people, an escaped murderer, pirates that attacked a cruise ship, and the fifth “bird flu” death in Indonesia.  What the hell man!?

I remember when I was little how my mom talked about how when the end times were near we would be experiencing tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes non-stop.  All of those have happened within the last few months.  Frankly, it’s a little creepy.  I wanna have kids and a family before life as we know it comes to a screeching halt.  This sucks… what a terrible way to start the day.

On a better note, Ash has been here with me all weekend, and I LOVE it.  She is always hesitant to spend the night more than one day in a row, but this weekend for some reason she’s been willing to do so.  Maybe it’s because of my impending doom, I mean marriage. (I’m just kidding Ash!)  That’s my theory, she’s getting used to being here all the time.  I don’t know, we’ll see as soon as she comments on this entry.  Well, I am tired so I think I will go back to sleep.  See ya!

Awesome!

So, we saw Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith.  It was pretty good.  But Ash doesn’t like Star Wars but there was some character in there that looked like her pet lizard so she kept going “awww.”

I don’t get it.  Anyway, it’s late and I am tired.  I wanna do stuff like that more often.  I think there was about 10 people over at Erik’s house tonight, and it was pretty cool.  
I have nothing else to talk about, and I am bored, so I am going to sleep.  Night!

A Totally Useless Post

Man!  I think I am going to have to start using the heater from now on.  I woke up this morning freezing my ass off again!  It’s getting to be cold outside.  Anyway, I work 2pm to 9pm today (best case scenario), and I need to sell some more cars, for sure.  I’d like to be the top salesperson this month, because if I am, I get a $1000 bonus.  Isn’t that nice?  I am gonna get going here, I need to get ready for work soon.  I just wanna make sure I post regularly in this thing, since that is the purpose of a blog.  Thanks for reading!

My First Blog Post!

So, men aren’t supposed to write blogs.  That’s what I told Ash a while back, but I guess I lied.  More like, I got tired of LiveJournal, I like to “write stuff down,”  and “blogging” seems to be the in thing to do these days.  Anyway, on with the show…

Today was a pretty good day.  I woke up at 7:30 this morning and it was freezing in the house!  Winter is upon us.  Anyway, I worked 2pm to 11pm today, and I got a good start to the month, getting a deal and a half out today.  I made about $550 in total.  Not too bad, but I just wish I could do that every day.  

I am looking forward to getting married on the 15th of this month.  Ashley is everything I ever dreamed of in a woman, and I can’t WAIT to start our lives together.  She’s awesome, far beyond what words can describe.  Things are good.  I am a little worried about how I am going to pay all my bills this month.  I guess I am fortunate that my car payment and insurance aren’t due until the 20th of the month, which means I can pay them out of my “draw” check which is a 70% check of all my sold deals from the 1st thru the 15th.  I just need to kick some major ass at work till the 15th, I guess.  

Christmas is coming soon, and I find myself actually wanting to go to Mom’s house and spend the holidays with them.  It’s been a couple years since I have done so, and I think at least once every couple years is good.  I just need to figure out if we are flying, or driving, or what the heck is going on.  I need to take Ashley to get her permit on Friday, I promised her I would.  I am not gonna be like my dad and break my promises to people.  It’s not a good thing to do.  Anyway, now that you know a little bit about me, and what’s going on in my life, it’s time for bed.  Have a great night….
