So the new job is pretty stellar compared to my previous endeavors in the ways of being a working class hero. The project I got into was a pilot and the company got the project because of mine and a few other guys work and I will be the guy that makes all of the new McCafes at Mcdonalds work.
Basically I go into the stores and depending on whether it's a de-install or a re-install I basically do the networking for the store and set up the new registers and stuff. I make $150 per store I do and right now im only doing 2 stores a night but here pretty soon we will start doing 3 a night. Since I'm working on the road I also get paid $580 a week per diem which if you dont know what is, it's money for living on so hotel, food, etc. It's basically impossible to spend all of that so I also bank probably 1/2 to 1/3 of that a week.
As far as poker goes I play a bit, I haven't really been motivated to work at it or towards the 100k goal yet and I'm not gonna really push that. I'll just play and see what happens I guess.
I want to start investing my money that I have sitting around but the stock market really blows and I dunno what else there is to invest into when money is shitty so I'll be looking to be buying some poker action or staking in +EV situations for now or until I find something to start sticking lots of money into so if you are looking for something like that let me know.
I also recently wrecked my truck and it's totaled so I have to get a new vehicle sometime but I'm not gonna be at home but maybe a week or so total a month so I hate to buy something where my payments will be $500 a month and insurance will be a lot too when I can't justify having it for a few nights a month. I don't really know what to do about my vehicle situation yet but I'm saving lots of money and will probably just wait til I have enough cash to pay upfront for whatever I'm getting.
Also, I'm still losing weight and I'm nearing my perfect weight (few lbs off) I wish I could start working out but it's really hard when I'm only in one place for a few weeks and then I go to another city. I'm currently in Portland so if you're around here let me know and maybe we can meet up and do something.

stock market is really really great to invest into as an amateur with long term profit in mind atm. There is nowhere for it to go but up. Like Ford is running about 2.36 iirc. Surely bankruptcy is possible but imagine how much money you can make if market stabilizes. +EV all the way. Same with all automakers. Toyota dropped almost two fold since May, and there is absolutely 0 chance that if you buy now youll be losing money long term. Honda is going down too, not much yet, but i would definitely buy it in a couple weeks time depending on economic situation. Sony is another corporation that dropped 2 fold and has 0 chance of going bankrupt. |

uhhh no
dont mess with the stock market, its not a amateur business. sure buy and hold works when we're in a bull market and that's what wall street all want us to do, claiming that its 7%/yr and is free lunch. the situation is very different now (in a very bad way)
we seen Lehman and Bear go out and they are way bigger and older than ford and rest of dem automakers.

poker is still the best for u imo, try harder and dont tilt |
