Well, I hated my old summer job and decided to quit, anyway I just got hired for a new one. The new one sounds like it should be awesome. I am working at a place called telecommunications as an iPod/iTunes customer service representative, you know, the ones you call when you have a problem. It should be pretty cool... When I have 4 weeks off of school I am gonna go through the 4 week training program to be certified to take calls for all apples software and computers instead of just ipods and itunes. Thought I would let all know, since it is apple related.

yeah, hey if thats your living then by all means quit, but honestly this is only a summer job and the first one that I have had without living with my parents... it is honestly something I needed to learn how to do and am actually glad I failed and decided to quit, before i got fired. This is the first job that I quit for personal reasons (they act like a $800 dollar, or two, summer classes arent important)... usually I quit becuase I got a new job or I honestly cant work anymore cause of school/project reasons. Whatever happens, I WILL be a teahcer within 1 1/2 years and will NOT fail... I will teach any, maybe some of your, students and kids more about technology than they care to know (since I am a Technology Education Teacher and all).

Congrats! Everyone should be lucky enough to do what they want. I was lucky enough to spend 11 years at Disney driving boats. I was in seventh heaven - it was not work for me - I went there to play each day.

All the ones at the Magic Kingdom (Florida) that went between the hotels and the Kingdom as well as the large ferryboat that takes people from the parking lot and back.
