Sunny Leone's hot... I figured I'd sex it up a bit... lol
that's it... thanks for reading...
LOL just kidding...
I guess having a job that keeps you busy is a good thing! I've always felt that as long as I can put in an honest day's work then I would be a happy lil' clam! And I've gotten plenty of that this past holiday season working at Big 5 Sporting Goods, as a Manager Trainee.
A lil' backstory on how I ended up at the Big Nickel in the first place...
When I was still enjoying my time in Arizona I needed a second job in order to substantiate my "lavish" lifestyle... In otherwords I needed a second job because I was in CRAZY debt. Lol...
In came my cousin's cousin Nuch who offered me a job which I endlessly thank him for to this day. Heck he actually spoke on my behalf to get me the job as a manager trainee! So I guess I owe him my first child... But working with Nuch and the friends that I met as a result of working at Big 5 was a HUGE reason I loved working there...
Now fast forward to October when I was miserable working for AT&T as tech support for their DSL service... Things were looking bad for me when my mom after searching for a job for over half a year got a call from Lake Charles, Louisiana and the Le Auberge Du Lac Casino to interview for a position at the casino! Super yay! But Mom has issues with dizziness and was afraid to fly. Well after having the unfortunate luck of getting majorly sick a few times I was pretty much counting on being let go due to attendance (AT&T has a VERY strict attendance policy...) So I said what the hell I'll accompany my mom... So we get to Lake Charles and my mom has a pretty easy time with the interview and was offered the job the same day she interviewed. Also come to find that my mom liked the small town atmosphere and said let's do it!
At the time I was thinking I was gonna move with her to Lake Charles to live and work... Life strangely enough deals you a good hand when you're not expecting it...
After moving my mom to Louisiana and a quick stop in Arizona to visit my cousins, I came back home still thinking I was going to move to Lake Charles. But in the meantime I figured I needed some cash so I went application hunting and happened to see a sign on the front of Big 5 in Sparks that they were hiring. I figured hey at least I can get some part time hours.
Well lo and behold after getting an app and turning it in I ended up getting a full time job as a Manager Trainee! It took me by surprise at how fast it ended up being! On top of that, because of my past work history with Big 5 they put me on a fast track to Manager Training...
It was almost like riding a bike, a lot of the things I did were still being done so after a week of being lost I felt like I got back into the groove again! Then came Black Friday and of course the Christmas season, during that time I began to feel like I was in my element and I busted my ass for 8 hours a day and when I went home I felt good! So now I'm beginning to finish up my training now and about to be an acting manager at the end of the month, which I am sooo stoked about!
I guess happiness is always when you find a job or a passion that you can feel as if you belong. It's always comedic how happiness finds you... I really enjoy myself at work everyday because of the crew that I have at work and being able to move around all day has done wonders to my waistline!
May happiness find you and yours in the new year it can't get no worse... :)

Life has a way of giving your surprises sometimes. Glad you found a job though, I know you were miserable without one, bro. And now look at you. Moving on up that ladder already. Good stuff. Congrats, bro.
