finkster Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well things are starting to look up. A lot. Where to start. Car audio has actually been on the back burner for about 8 months now. I backed off my team because I wanted to dedicate more time and money into getting laser eye surgery and school and insurance etc. And there is now way I could have competed and saved up towards these things. In November I started working as a bar back where I play pool at. A bar back is basically a bartenders bitch (i do whatever they tell me to and keep things stocked). Every Friday and Saturday night since then I have been busting my ass learning everything I could about the bar scene. When I started I couldnt even pour a beer correctly or make a rum and coke correctly (srs). I didnt get paid by the hour, I only got tipped out at the end of the night. Sometimes i ended up making less than minimum wage for the night. But I stuck with it. I saved every single penny I could. Never spent it on clothes or went out places I wanted. I just saved it. Sounds boring but its cool getting closer to your goals. You get the point. Well fast forward to now a couple months later. By the end of the week I will have enough saved up for my surgery. I go in for my consultation next week. As for the bar, I just worked my first shift alone as a bartender last night. My manager last night (hes cool as fuck) told me that he really appreciates me sticking around even through shitty pay and that really soon I am soon going to take over the main shift as bartender on Friday nights (the busiest night of the week). Im also getting paid by the hour now on top of tips. Not to sound gay bu its a really good feeling climbing to the top when you truly started at the bottom. Just know that HARD WORK PAYS OFF!

finkster Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Its a lasik vision in columbia, maryland. I go in march 7 for the eye exam and schedule the surgery then. Insurance is covering half I believe but we'll see how that goes.

bobonit Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Good for you man!! Be proud of your accomplishments. It takes discipline to save up for something like that, especially when you are not making bags of money. Good luck with your surgery.
