Just because I keep threatening to kill people, thats no excuse not to make me a Mod too....

Congrads. Chris!

Congrats... Your the man!

Nice Chris!!!!


One word of advice..... I recently became a mod on my local club forum and I always seem to hit the "edit" button when I mean to hit the "quote" button. Then everyone wonders why I keep editing their posts. :whistle:

All I'm saying is pay attention to what buttons your hitting. There are more of them now and its easy to F-up someones post. :yes: LOL

Congratulations Chris!

Good Job. Congrats Chris!!!!!

Hurdles.
 

Yea it is nice to overcome the many hurdles that are thrown in our path through life:yes:. Cngrats on your newest success Chris:yipi:, and good luck with your new found responsibilities here on RCM. I guess you must be one of the normal ones in here huh:lol:? Have fun.

I've done this more than once but I caught it in time and the browser back button allowed me to see the original post so I could put it back in there.

Glad its not just me then. :lol:

You can just compare versions and get the old text back...

Congrats Chris! Best of luck with all your new moderating duties. :wink:

Congratulations to you!

Congrats man! Maybe one of these days I'll make Admin...:whip:

I like the new avatar. Looks real nice! Congrats on the spot man!

I'd like to point out I got a job at the local mcdonalds. Its great! I get paid 6.55/hr to put buns in a bun toaster OR a steamer. Almost as good as a mod spot!

Beginings.
 

We all have to start somewhere. I am sure that all of us older guys in here have had some pretty crappy jobs or duties from our humble beginings. From 11 to 17 I was a golf caddy at the local country club. The basic pay was $7 per bag for 18 holes(approx 3 hours). After learning the ropes I carried two bags 18 holes and with the normal tips could make pretty good money for a kid with no real marketable skills. During the celebrity tournaments I would easily take home $150 to $200 in one day carrying two bags 18 holes twice in one day. Just look at it this way, at least you have a job right now.

lol, my first job from 12-15 was on a apple orchard/farm doing all the stuff no one else could/would do (pull stumps, carry wood, etc). I made a whopping $2/hr (yeah, $2/hr)and had to bike about 3 miles to get there. The worst part is at the end of the day (when tired), about 70% of the ride back was a steady uphill climb. Ugg.

At least it was downhill going there...

Grats man!

Wow, was is snowing too?:lol:

I have only had one job, working at the body shop. Started at 12 when my dad bought the place. I have done everything here so far (including buying the place form dad) and have to say that 17yrs at the same job is kinda boring. When I started I made 2 bucks an hour, got a raise to 3 an hour when I turned 13, up to 4 at 14 and so on. When I got to 20 the parents put me on salary (damn) and I have slowly made my way back down to around $4.70 and hour at the present (took my salary and divided by the number of hours I put in: 10-11 a day). Luckily I can get some profit every now and then, and I really do not buy anything other than rc, and that is kinda like recycling money right now, haven't spent a dime of any money I have made in the last 6 months on rc!

I thought you couldn't make less then minimum wage?:neutral:

linc: No snow. This was during the summer and fall mostly. Springtime was mostly clean-up and they used the women for that stuff. They saved the grunt labor for the guy. So much for equal rights, eh? BTW: That did sound like one of those old-timer when-I-was-a-kid stories: "I walked 15 miles to school barefoot in the snow uphill both ways". lol.

Metal: I don't know if things changed now, but back then agricultural jobs were exempt from the min wage, and I was a minor. I should have joined a union, lol. This was really the only job that I could get at 12 yrs old available anywhere near me, as I lived in the country. There was a couple of conv stores, but you had to be at least 16 just to be a cashier.

My brother had the cushy number - Spent the summer watering a newly laid cricket green aka sun tanning...

I worked as a plasters mate which involved carrying the 40kg bags up the building site to the 2nd floor - Yucky work but got me fit.
