The Dawn of a New Day

[John E. O'Sullivan II]

Well, indeed. Soon it was the dawn of a new day. The reporter did call on the third day and we chatted on the phone for about a half hour. I shared my experience, and the reporter shared his experience. We then decided that we were going to work together. We have since done many, many jobs together and it has developed into a very productive relationship for both of us.

I have since acquired other clients as well. I am not saying that everything is lucrative, but I am saying that it is a wonderful new start. I supplement my income with mystery shopping of all things. But in the new year I will be going out and getting a real job. I am going to (hopefully) start driving a school bus. I have to get my cdl and then go back to the bus company and fill out an application. If I'm accepted I will then have to get trained by them, which they pay for. When they think I am ready, I go for my road test and then I'm hired. It is good because it is 3 hours in the morning then off until 1:30 and then work until 4:30. I can still scope in the 4 hour gap and then at night and on weekends, and more money coming into the house will surely help.

Here's one for all. My first reporter has been so impressed with my work ethic and my final product that he has given me a raise from the rate that we first agreed upon. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I think it is awesome.
