Well I got a call from Home Depot they want me to come in for an interview at 5pm tonight for a night stocking position. Could really use the second income. Friday I had a pre-screening interview and they said it'd be about 2 weeks. So I was quite surprised I got called so early. Wish me luck

night stocking kicks ***...i used to do it at an electrical warehouse. We'd work for like 3 hours and then just race forklifts and ****...it was a great job because you didn't have to deal with any customers either. Good luck with the interview.

Yeah I used to work nights too. It was as a mechanic though. We used to maintain some fleets of school buses and had to deliver them back before morning for their daily runs. One night 3 of us got into an impromptu race on a freeway frontage road while delivering them back . I passed the other 2 guys coming out of a corner and had a good enough run on them that I held the lead for the whole 2 mile straight before the school turn in lol ! By the time we got back to the shop, the foreman walked out to the van we had all ridden back in and just said .. " I don't know exactly what you guys were doing, and I REFUSE to believe that your actually STUPID enough to race school buses .... so let me just say that if I ever get a call like the one I just recieved, YOU'RE ALL FIRED ! " At this point he just walked away and never brought it up again. Needless to say after work I drank for free

Racing is what made this country great. We race just about everything, and if sponsors are involved we will spend massive amounts of money doing it.

Yeah I know it'll be rough for a while but I think the benefit will pay off in the long run... luckily they'll both be M-F and I'll get at least 4 hours of sleep a night anyways (which is about what I get now... I'm a night owl by nature). And I can't complain about the money.

Well looks like I worked it out at my current position to where I can work 7-4pm M-F which would give me roughly 5-5 1/2 hours of sleep between this one and home depot then work home depot between 9:30/10pm-6/6:30am should make it more doable.
