A New Assistant

So, as I said in my last post, I’ve got family in town. My cousin, Amy is here and probably for good. I’m hiring her as an assistant to help me with my day to day operations. Answering the phone, setting up jobs, giving price quotes, that sort of thing.

Amy is recently divorced and needs a life change. The divorce left her depressed and in a huge amount of debt. Creditors are calling her everyday and the stress is enough to overwhelm anyone . She’s getting her life back together with the help of Debt Counseling and a strong will to go on. With attorney’s fees, and several bills now in collections, she certainly needs help consolidating her debt and she is taking the first steps to a new stress and debt free life. We’re starting with a day trip to Six Flags. I told her the day was on me and to consider it a signing bonus.

Six Flags Today!

I’ve got family in from Illinois and we’re taking a road trip to Atlanta today. We’re going to head out in about an hour to get to Six Flags right when it opens. I’ll renew my season pass, because it costs less than admission for two days. A season pass will get you into any Six Flags park in the country as many times as you want. I would go every day if I could. Goliath, here we come!

Maximizing Your Money

Here’s a little more about how to make more money working in the entertainment industry. More specifically at a bar or nightclub. In the clubs, everyone is working for tips, including your friendly neighborhood DJ. Thats not to say we don’t get a paycheck but the real money is in the tips. Working in a good establishment, a bartender or server can make a few hundred dollars in one night just in tips.

The first way is to be friendly and personable. The second is speed. The more people you can serve, the more people that can tip you. One of the biggest factors in maximizing you money is how you look and carry yourself. Be clean and well dressed. Have your clothes neat an ironed and for the ladies make sure your hair and makeup looks good.

No one is perfect and you don’t have to be a “10″ to make money. Plenty of people have acne and there are treatments for it. I hear a lot of people say they use Proactiv Solution . I’ve personally seen the difference that it makes. Even if you weren’t born with perfect skin, with treatment it can be cleared up and no one will know the difference. You can find plenty of info at acne.com.

Finally, attitude is everything and everyone has bad nights. Don’t let them get you down. You can even try changing your look because when you feel better about yourself everyone around you will know.

The Most Hated President In History

Firedoglake   has an interesting article up about ol’ George W. I can’t say how happy I will be when he’s out of office. I absolutely do not trust a thing that comes out of his mouth. The same goes for Cheney. There’s still no evidence of WMD’s or an Iraq-AL-Queda connection. Don’t even get me started on the economy, it’s total garbage but “W” and Cheney’s oil buddies are still making a killing (in all senses). While the U.S.’s oil and gasoline reserves are at an all time high we’re getting raped at the gas pumps. The president could fix this but he chooses not to.

A Week on the Road

I’ve just confirmed that I’ll be in Cincinnati Ohio next week to set up lighting and sound for a new nightclub opening soon. I like to travel, see new places and meet new people. I much rather drive than fly. I like the idea of being able to stop when I want to and not be cramped in an airplane with god knows who. I’m not afraid of flying, I just find it a really big and expensive hassle.

Of course a guy like me can’t have just regular luggage. I need something cool and functional. My luggage is actually BlackHawk Tactical Gear . It’s the same stuff that law enforcement and the military use. I use 2 A.L.E.R.T. bags, one for my luggage and also one for my tools and equipment. It has plenty of space and extra compartments for whatever I feel like stuffing in them. Not to mention the cool factor.

If you’re on the go like I am or just like cool stuff, head on over to Actiongear.com and check them out. They carry a full line of law enforcement and tactical gear.
