I FINALLY GOT HIRED AT A SHOP! I called up an ad in the paper looking for a mechanic, went in to fill out an ap and next thing I know, Im hired! I started talking to the owner and we ended up talking for about 2 hours. Next thing I know, Im in like Flynn! Starting next Monday, I'm a mechanic at Foreign Specialties. Specializing in Porsches, Jaguars, BMWs, Mercedes, Maserattis, and MGs. (as well as anything else that may roll thru the door. I saw a Caterham super 7 out back)
The best thing is that its literally just around the corner from my place. I can WALK there. The hours are 8 - 5:30 M-F and I get paid $20/hr (commision though, If I take 5 hours to do a 3 hour job, I get paid 3 hours)
just talked to Cindy (owners wife, secretary, parts lady) she said their insurance cleared me so Im officialy on board now. crap, Ive got to get my tools together. I need to get a roller cabinet like fast! I dont think I'll have time to get my uncles before thursday, gotta hit up sears!. I have a Mac Air ratchet on the way, I hope it gets here in time. Gotta go get some dickies too, Rick didnt say anything about a uniform and it didnt look like he had on anything unique. Just boots, work pants, and a generic mechanic shirt. HMMM, I wonder where you get patches with your name on it......
