    well ive got some good news and some bad news thats been accumulating...

    ill start with the bad.
    i had two dogs, Kuma and Anderson. somehow the gate to my backyard was left open and they got out. they were gone for hours before we realized so they were already long gone. we went out and searched, put up signs and checked the pound. ive lost hope im pretty sure they are gone forever. i wasnt gonna post it, cuz i didnt really want sympathy or pity or whatever it is people get when their dogs run away. but ive got good news too so we can forget about the bad stuff...

    congrats (and really sorry about your dogs)

    Sorry about your puppies, but good luck at the job! Keep looking, I heard that Fry's treats their employees like poopie. Get used to being searched before you leave and putting up with similar bull. Not to discourage you or anything... :)

    Oh Mike I am so sorry to hear that, don't give up on looking for your pups cause ya never know.
    I had one of my pups jumped out of the car on the way home from the Vet several years ago and never found her but I think she was snatched up by someone in that area. But I have had several friends find there pups weeks later. As with Wizill I to will say a little prayer for the pups.

    Congrats on the job- work is work - if it was fun then they would call it fun! to quote Red from that 70's show
    But nothing like that first paycheck! and hey we all have to start some where just don't get caught drinking a 40 in the breakroom ! ;)
    You are so lucky to live where the weather is always great
    As the paychecks come in we shall see your herp collection grow!!!

    Mike, I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs, but don't give up hope. They may just be out sowing wild oats or something.

    Congratulations on the job too, and don't sweat the fact that you'll "only" earn $5.45. I think by law first jobs are supposed to be not so great. Mine was working at McDonald's for minimum wage (and that was back in the late 80s when they still wore those awful ugly scratchy humiliating polyester uniforms!). But there's nothing better than getting a paycheck with your name on it (even if you do smell like fry grease when you get home).
