Money Money Money!

Work is something that every person must come to at some point in their life. My experience with work started rather prematurely compared to most. As most people know I am only 14 but just last Wednesday I got my first job. I now work the counter (answering phones and ringing people up) at Franks Pizza. Franks is a local place where I live owned by a family that goes to my church . I have loved working there but the real work hasn't really started. Today is my first day I work by myself, this whole week I've been in training with Chelsea.

I'm not nervous, if anything I'm excited, I just don't know how I'm going to do. I'm sure I will do just fine but everyone has their irrational fears right? Yesterday I was so stressed out. I was already very tired because I haven't slept good in a bit and so this woman called and starts yelling at me for a mistake I didn't make and she's just being a complete bitch about everything. I handled her but then Robbin told me I needed to just give the phone to her or a waitress on duty if someone called back like that even though Melanie told me to offer them to bring it back and make them another one and then if that didn't work offer them a free one next time they came which I did I offered both and then she hung up so I couldn't give the phone to someone else.

Liam and I figured out how much money I would get in my paycheck and it's about 130 dollars. It won't be like that every week because this last week I worked every day starting Wednesday because I was in training. I'm first going to get a new phone and then put minutes on my phone, then I'm going to buy a phone with a cord. After that I will just get my paycheck as about 75.00$ a week and I will put half of it in the bank and the other half I will save until I have the amount I want for my phone and then I will use the rest to buy things I want. I'm excited about having this job because it means I'll be making more than 40 dollars a month. Now I will be making about 300.00 a month but then half of all that will go into the bank so I will have about 150 dollars a month to spend on whatever I want. I'm excited. =)

The cellphone I want is about 80.00$ and to get unlimited texts and minutes it would cost about 70.00$ which would leave me with 80.00$.
